L’Oréal has another new makeup applicator that makes it easier to get the perfect brows for you. L’Oréal Brow Magic uses an app to analyze your facial features and natural brow shape before swiping on your brows with a handheld device. L’Oréal made the gadget in collaboration with Prinker, a company that offers printed, temporary tattoos.

One of the new devices L’Oréal had to show off at CES 2023 is designed to help those with limited mobility apply makeup. L’Oréal's Lancôme brand will pilot the HAPTA system this year, starting with this lipstick applicator. The brand has plans to offer more makeup applications in the future. HAPTA is based on the tech from Alphabet-owned Verily that levels utensils and keeps them stable to help those with limited hand and arm mobility eat on their own.
The system offers smart motion controls and customizable attachments for precise application. It also has 360 degrees of rotation and 180 degrees of flexion. L’Oréal says the attachments are connected magnetically, and you can click them into place. HAPTA also allows for "increased ease of use for difficult-to-open packaging." You can get an hour of use out of a single charge, which should equal 10 or more applications. Charging time takes around three hours.

HyperX has something a little different at CES 2023. It has a new line of 3D-printed accessories called HX3D. It uses HP's "best-in-class" 3D printing tech to create things like this new Cozy Cat keycaps, headset backplates and headband attachments, mouse add-ons, and other gaming accessories. HyperX plans to release limited-edition runs and collaborations.
HyperX noted that the 3D-printed products use an "environmentally friendly" process involving powered nylon. The company wants to use this new HX3D line to collaborate with "game developers, esports teams, content creators, influencers, and internal creative teams" to design "fan-friendly products that can be used while gaming or collected as keepsakes or cherished collectibles." The HyperX Cozy Cat Keycap will be available later this month for US$19.99 (around CA$25). It will fit all HyperX keyboards with swappable caps or any board using the standard +-shaped Cherry MX-style stem.

Instagram is shelving the Shop tab the company placed in the main navigation bar. In its place, the Create button will make a comeback. According to Instagram head Adam Mosseri, they wanted to "simplify" the app and refocus its priorities to "bring people together over what they love." This means, the options you get in the navigation bar include Home, Search, Create, Reels, and Profile. The changes will take effect in February.
Shopping won't take a backseat in the app, though. You can still shop in the app. The Meta-owned company also stated on its help page that it would “continue to invest in shopping experiences that provide the most value for people and businesses across feed, stories, reels, ads and more.”
