Egads! Have you seen these illustrations by E.B. Hudspeth? They’re admirably researched, meticulously detailed, and creepily fascinating.
Last month, when my Sephora VIB status was renewed, the cashier surprised me with a VIB Celebration Bag. Did you know this is an annual thing? Because I didn't. (And I don't remember receiving a bag last year.) Anyway, because I already have too many beauty products — and because I know y'all love giveaways — I've decided to pass this along to a reader.

Popular television shows + IMDB user reviews + graphs. Need I say more?
My favorite season of Breaking Bad is actually the first one. For me, the graph would more closely
