Now that Uber is bringing everything from kittens to cupcakes to your door, it’s only natural that other companies get in on the in-demand action. And for women (and men!) who balance a busy schedule and don’t always have time to make a trip to the salon, I have good news — the salon can now come to you.

Meet beGlammed, the first ever app to provide on-demand makeup and hairstyles for across the country. And just in time for Halloween, the beGlammed team is offering costume-specific services, so that you’ll not only look fabulous, but appropriately fierce, fiendish, or whatever else you should look to be in character.

Self-described as the “leading on-demand beauty service that delivers professional hairstylists and makeup artists straight to your door,” beGlammed and its impressive army of beauty technicians is now in 15 cities across the United States. And while celebrities like Mariah Carey and Paris Hilton have made use of the company’s services, you don’t have to be a socialite to get made up by the professional team.

In fact, as founder and former celebrity makeup artist Maile Pacheco told me, “The majority of our clientele are brides and women on the go, not celebrities, although we do have a handful of our fave celebrities that love getting beGlammed on a regular basis. Clients can easily book their weekly or daily service with a few taps in the app from their Android or Apple phone.” Simply download the app, pick your makeover and stylist, and let the rest come to you.

With three different pricing tiers to choose from, hair styling services start at $40 and makeup starts at $60. But special services, like Halloween hair and makeup, will set you back a bit more — $125 a pop for each. Still, considering the treatment you’ll get from any one of the 500 seasoned stylists (all of whom were hand-selected by Pacheco), you’ll be reaping your money’s worth.

Since the app launched in late 2014, beGlammed has already established itself in more markets than any of its competitors, and has become a mainstay in the beauty scene across both Hollywood and the regular working world. And in moving forward, beGlammed is also looking forward to releasing “step-by-step tutorials for those that would like to learn how to recreate the [professional] look on their own,” says Pacheco.

So this October 31, if there’s a killer party you’ll need to make an impression at, beGlammed may just be the perfect answer for all your beauty needs.

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
