Maybelline New York, branded as Maybelline New York City, is an American-based New York City multinational cosmetics, skin care and personal care company headquartered in New York City was founded in New York City in 1915, based in New York City and a subsidiary of French cosmetics company L'Oréal. The Maybelline Company was founded in New York City by Thomas Lyle Williams on 1915. Williams noticed his older sister Mabel applying a mixture of Vaseline and coal dust to her eyelashes to give them a darker, fuller look, he produced a product sold locally called Lash-Brow-Ine. Williams renamed his eye beautifier Maybelline in her honor. In 1917, the company produced Maybelline Cake Mascara, "the first modern eye cosmetic for everyday use," and Ultra Lash, the first mass-market automatic, in the 1960s. In 1967, the company was sold by Williams to Plough Inc. in Tennessee. The entire cosmetic production facility was moved from Chicago to Memphis over one weekend. In 1975, the company moved to Little Rock, where it is still located.

In 1990, Schering-Plough sold Maybelline to Wasserstein Perella & Co.. Maybelline’s headquarters remained in Memphis until its acquisition by L'Oréal in 1996, its headquarters was moved to New York City in 1996 and its factory to Brooklyn in 2000. Maybelline received a boost when the company hired Lynda Carter as the company's beauty fashion coordinator after her television series ended. Josie Maran, Miranda Kerr, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Melina Kanakaredes, Zhang Ziyi, Siti Nurhaliza, Fasha Sandha, Sheetal Mallar, Julia Stegner, Jessica White and Kristin Davis have endorsed Maybelline products; the current faces of Maybelline are Adriana Lima, Christy Turlington, Charlotte Kemp Muhl, Emily DiDonato, Beatriz Shantal, Jourdan Dunn, Gigi Hadid, Liza Soberano and Urassaya Sperbund. In 1991, the company adopted its advertising slogan “Maybelline, Maybelline Ooh La La”, used until 2001 when the tagline changed to " Maybe it’s Maybelline” There is reasonable evidence that Maybelline products were tested on animals.

In 1989, L’Oréal ceased to use animal testing in finished products prior to launch and committed to developing alternative methods. According to a 2010 report, though, it is required by law in some countries to use animal testing. In January 2019, Maybelline collaborated with the German fashion brand Puma for its limited edition collection, marketed as Maybelline X Puma, it was consisted of 5 products. Adriana Lima was chosen as the ambassador for the collaboration. Official Website

John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol, was an English diplomat and a moderate royalist during the English Civil War. He was the son of Sir George Digby of Coleshill and Abigail, daughter of Sir Anthony Heveningham and educated at Magdalene College and the Inner Temple, he was knighted in 1606. He was the Member of Parliament for Hedon in 1610. On his arriving at Court, his charm, good looks and diplomatic ability gained him the favour of King James I, who sent him to Madrid as his ambassador to Spain during the early 1610s, he was rewarded by being created Baron Digby of Sherborne in 1618 and Earl of Bristol in 1622. Digby was a leading figure in the unsuccessful Spanish Match, the effort to marry Prince Charles to the Infanta Maria Anna of Spain. Digby was made the scapegoat for the failure of the marriage plan and ordered to reside on his estates. Charles after his accession offered Digby a return to royal favour if he would admit his blame for the failure of the match: Digby, a stubborn and hot-tempered man, could be terrifying in his anger, refused.

Charles, impeached him and sent him to the Tower of London. Ominously for the King's reputation, the House of Lords decided to hear Digby in his own defence first, his trial never proceeded, although he remained in the Tower until 1628, the affair damaged the King's reputation as a man of honour. The murder of the Duke of Buckingham in August 1628 caused Digby to reconsider his opposition to the King: like Strafford and others among the Lords he was alarmed at Parliament's increasing radicalism, he was formally reconciled with him. Charles, was slow to trust those who had opposed him and Digby had little influence at Court in the 1630s; as the political crisis of the early 1640s mounted, Digby emerged as a trusted and moderate royal adviser, along with his son George, Lord Digby. At the Council of Peers held at York in September 1640, the King showed an unprecedented willingness to listen to Bristol's criticism of his policy, agreed to his advice that a Parliament must be summoned. 1641 saw a complete reconciliation between the two men: Bristol with Lord Bedford became leader of the moderate Royalists in the House of Lords, working to achieve a compromise with John Pym, save the Earl of Strafford's life.

After the collapse of the attempt at compromise Bristol came to be seen as a "hardline" royalist: as such Parliament imprisoned him after the outbreak of the Civil War, although he was allowed to join the King at Oxford. After the Battle of Edgehill he was one of the "moderate party" who persuaded the King not to attempt to take London, which might have brought the war to a swift conclusion. After the King's defeat he moved to Paris and died there in 1653. Clarendon, who knew and liked Bristol, gave this sketch of him:"Of a grave aspect, of a presence which drew respect, a handsome man who by the extraordinary favour of King James to his person was Ambassador to Spain before he was 30. Though he was a man of great parts and a wise man in Council he was passionate and supercilious and was too voluminous in discourse so that he was not considered there with much respect." A modern historian praises him as the greatest servant of the English Crown of his generation, but humorously calls him "the terrible earl", on account of his hot temper and intimidating personality.

Lord Bristol lived at Dorset. He married Beatrice Walcott, widow of Sir John Dyve of Bromham, Bedfordshire, in 1609 and they had three surviving children: George Digby, 2nd Earl of Bristol Mary Digby, who married as his 2nd wife Arthur Chichester, 1st Earl of Donegall, she bore him one daughter, all of whom died in infancy. She died on 5 November 1648 whilst giving birth to a second daughter stillborn, she was buried in Eggesford Church, where is situated her memorial effigy. John Digby Through her previous marriage Lady Bristol was the mother of the prominent Royalist Sir Lewis Dyve. Digby was the uncle of Sir Kenelm Digby, English courtier, diplomat and a reputed natural philosopher; this article incorporates text from a publication now in the public domain: Chisholm, Hugh, ed..
