Ariana Grande's Snapchat lens lets fans try on album merch

If you're an Arianator, you'll probably like Snapchat's newest selfie Lens a lot more than the recent ones the app launched, including those Lenses that react to sound and your voice. The company has teamed up with Ariana Grande to give you a way to try on new merchandise tied to her newly released album Sweetener, which you can also buy straight from within the app. Starting today, you'll be able to try on a Sweetener-brand ed tied-dyed face mask via a Lens.

If you like the colorful look it gives you, simply tap the Shop button that shows up while you're trying it on. That will take you to a shopping experience, where you can purchase the actual item for $20. A bit steep for a mask, but that will come with presale ticket access to Ariane's 2019 tour. If you're in the US, you'll also get a link to download the album.

This collab probably won't be enough for Snapchat to recoup the 3 million daily users it lost in the second quarter of 2018. Ariana is definitely a big name, though, and we'll bet her fans would love the partnership, especially since you can access the shoppable Lens wherever you are in the world. If you can't find the icon with the mask and music note in the Lens carousel, you can also scan the Snapcode below.

After six summers of researching, testing, and recommending window air conditioners, we've learned that quiet and affordable ACs make most people the happiest—and we think the LG LW8016ER will fit the bill in most rooms. This 8,000 Btu unit cools as efficiently and effectively as any model with an equal Btu rating, and runs at a lower volume and deeper pitch than others at this price. Little extra features like a fresh-air vent, two-axis fan blades, and a removable drain plug help set it apart, too. The LG LW8016ER is a top choice for an office or den, and some people will find it quiet enough for a bedroom, too. If our main pic...

We won't see a 'universal' vape oil cartridge anytime soon

Image
Pre-loaded cartridges of cannabis concentrate are currently among the most popular means of consumption, and for good reason. They're discreet to use and easy to handle, a far cry from the dark days of 2016 when we had to dribble hash oil or load wax into narrow-mouthed vape pens by hand. But, frustratingly, an ever increasing number of oil cartridge manufacturers employ one-off design standards so that their products won't work with those of their competitors, thereby locking customers into proprietary ecosystems. We've already seen this with nicotine vaporizers -- which has a seen a massive rise in "pod systems" in the last few years, each outfitted with a unique canister and battery built to be incompatible with those of their competition. Is it too late for the burgeoning cannabis industry to set a universal standard for their product designs? ...
