The US Treasury Department released a supposed list of 114 Russian politicians and businessmen, as well as 96 people labeled oligarchs, on Monday night.

Congress ordered the list to be compiled in response to Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election, asking for "a detailed report on senior political figures and oligarchs in the Russian Federation ... and on Russian parastatal entities."

On Tuesday, it was reported that the list was compiled from open sources, mainly a Forbes article of the 200 richest Russian businessmen.

When asked why the list was of the richest Russian businessmen, and not oligarchs suspected of corruption, the Treasury Department told Business Insider in an email that the "report complies with requirements" of the law, adding that there's also a classified portion.

Based on the Treasury Department's list and Forbes' data on each of the Russians' current individual wealth, we've rounded up the 25 richest Russian oligarchs from the "Putin list:"

The best game to launch in 2018 thus far is a game from over 10 years ago.

That game, of course, is "Shadow of the Colossus" on the PlayStation 4. 

When the game originally launched on PlayStation 2 way back in 2005, it endeared a legion of fans. That dedicated fanbase enabled Sony to successfully re-release "Shadow of the Colossus" on the PlayStation 3 in 2011.

And now, in 2018, "Shadow of the Colossus" is back once again — this time on the PlayStation 4. The latest iteration is a fully re-built game, with stunning 4K/HDR visuals. But what do you actually do in the game? What is it about? Here's the deal!

"Shadow of the Colossus" is a gorgeous, third-person action game.

The game was originally developed by Sony's Japan Studio, led by a man named Fumito Ueda. It's part of a trilogy of games that are all exclusive to Sony's game consoles.

The other games in the trilogy from Ueda are "Ico" and "The Last Guardian." They're not direct sequels to each other, but share common themes. Each game is set in the third-person, in a land shrouded in mystery, often filled with puzzles. 

The point of the game is straightforward: Hunt and kill sixteen "colossi."

Colossi are massive creatures, sometimes carrying equally massive weapons. The colossus above, for instance, carries a large club. 

With President Donald Trump's first official State of the Union address on Tuesday, the White House's security apparatus is making preparations for a grim worse-case scenario.

If there was a targeted attack on the Capitol, someone would have to take over the government.

Excluding the years immediately after a new president is elected, one member of the president's Cabinet has been selected every year since the 1960s to be the "designated survivor."

They sit out the State of the Union far away from the House chamber, so that in case there is a catastrophe, a Senate-confirmed official could take the reigns of the presidency. Since 2005, a designated survivor from Congress has also been selected in order to rebuild the legislative branch.

Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue was announced to be this year's designated survivor. Although highly unlikely, this doomsday scenario has captured the imaginations of screen writers and TV producers, spawning a an entire show on ABC called simply "Designated Survivor."

In the real world, designated survivors have often tended to be low-ranking cabinet members, and until 9/11, had spent their evenings away from Washington, DC in a variety of ways. Almost all choose to kick back, relax, and enjoy the perks of the presidential treatment for a few short hours.

Here are how past designated survivors have spent their State of the Union addresses as the possible president-to-be:

In 1986, agriculture secretary John Block spent Reagan's address from his friend's house on the shores of Montego Bay, Jamaica. "I was having a glass of wine probably," Block said after the fact.

In 1990, secretary of veteran affairs Ed Derwinski had a pretty casual experience as the designated survivor. He had pizza near his home while his security detail stood by.

Every year, the Financial Times releases a list of the top business schools in the world for studying an MBA

The FT's Global MBA ranking for 2018 took data from business schools, including average salaries, the average increase in salary graduates experience three years after finishing their degree, and the percentage of grads in work three months after finishing school.

It then collated that data to create a list of the 100 best business schools in the world for doing an MBA.

Many of the top schools are in the US, but Business Insider UK picked out the best schools in Europe.

We've included the average "weighted salary" of graduates, which determines an average salary for MBA holders three years after finishing. Salaries do not necessarily relate to the quality of the school, although the top school, Stanford, in California, does happen to also have the highest average salary.

Check out the top European schools below and see the whole ranking at the FT's website. Numbers in brackets are the school's ranking in the FT's global top 100.

T30 (T100 out of 100). University of Bath School of Management, UK — $93,461

Less than 5% of the world's population lives in a "full democracy," according to a new report ranking countries by how functional their political systems are.

The Economist Intelligence Unit released on Wednesday its 2017 Democracy Index, which ranks 167 countries on a 0 to 10 scale. Only countries with scores above 8 are categorised as "full" democracies.

The US was downgraded from a "full democracy" to a "flawed democracy" in the same study last year, which cited the "low esteem in which US voters hold their government, elected representatives, and political parties."

The study has five criteria: whether elections are free and fair ("electoral process and pluralism"), governments have checks and balances ("functioning of government"), and whether citizens are included in politics ("political participation"), support their government ("political culture"), and enjoy freedom of expression ("civil liberties").

Time Out's City Life Index, a survey of 15,000 people in 32 global cities, has been released, and shows which ones promise the most fun and excitement in 2018.

The survey, conducted by Tapestry Research, questioned residents on a variety of aspects of city life.

It ranked cities in categories across food, drink, culture, friendliness, affordability, happiness, and liveability.

It also "found the key factors that make residents find their city exciting," from dining out often to feeling proud of where they're from.

Scroll down to see the 32 most affordable, friendly, and fun cities in the world, ranked in ascending order along with their overall scores:

32. Istanbul (87.1) — Istanbul residents are proud of their unique city and its history, but somehow they're still not content — just half said they'd felt happy in the past 24 hours.

31. Singapore (98.7) — Those from Singapore may not rate its culture scene highly, but they do value the city's safety, and are perfectly comfortable walking around at night.

30. Boston (103.7) — Boston may be one of the least affordable cities surveyed, with a poorly ranking nightlife scene, but its residents still posted high happiness scores — and over half know their neighbours by name.

• Companies targeted in M&A deals usually see their stock prices increase, creating money-making opportunities for investors able to identify them.
• Morgan Stanley has singled out 15 companies that meet their proprietary criteria as high-likelihood acquisition targets.

Wall Street expects M&A activity to accelerate in 2018, which should create opportunities for investors looking to profit from accompanying stock spikes.

After all, when an acquisition offer is made, the company being bought usually sees its share price increase. So the process is simple — identify potential acquisition targets, buy them, and hope a deal gets announced.

Easier said than done. But lucky for you, Morgan Stanley is here to make things a little easier.

The firm has developed a model that sorts stocks by acquisition likelihood. The methodology involves calculating the probability that a company will be on the receiving end of at least one tender offer. And in figuring out its list, Morgan Stanley weighs a combination of cohort information and stock-specific fundamentals.

Without further ado, here are 15 stocks that the firm says are among the most likely to receive an acquisition offer sometime in the next 12 months.

(Note that Morgan Stanley has screened its universe of companies to only include large and liquid stocks, and that all company statistics are as of year-end 2017. The firm's list has also been culled so it doesn't include more than two companies from the same sector.)

• The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are touring Sweden and Norway on their first royal tour of 2018.
• So far, they've played ice hockey and visited the Swedish royals at the Royal Palace of Stockholm.
• We'll keep updating this slideshow as the tour continues.

Prince William and Kate Middleton have embarked on their first royal tour of 2018. They'll be traveling to Sweden and Norway to sightsee, advocate for important causes, and visit the countries' respective royal families.

So far, they've challenged each other to a bandy hockey penalty shootout (spoiler alert: Prince William won), met the Swedish royal family for lunch and a walkabout, and sat in on a mental health activity session at a school in Stockholm.

We'll keep updating this slideshow as the tour continues, but here are the best photos from their trip so far.

Prince William and Kate Middleton started their time in Sweden with a bandy hockey match, a popular winter sport.

They met pint-sized players on a local bandy hockey team at Vasaparken, an outdoor ice rink.

• Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles is squaring off against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII on Sunday.
• Foles has had an up-and-down career — after getting benched in 2015, he contemplated retirement from the NFL.
• His journey from benchwarmer to Super Bowl starter is one of the wildest in recent memory.

Sunday's Super Bowl LII matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots will pit arguably the most accomplished quarterback of all time — Tom Brady— against the Eagles' unheralded quarterback Nick Foles.

While most of the talk leading up to the game centers on Brady's quest for a record sixth Super Bowl ring, Foles has a compelling narrative of his own. The 29-year-old journeyman looked to be the Eagles' franchise quarterback five years ago, before an injury, a trade, and a disappointing season had him contemplating retirement from the NFL.

Back with the Eagles, Foles was thrust into the spotlight after star quarterback Carson Wentz was sidelined with a torn ACL, forcing Foles back into the starting role with the hopes of an entire franchise on his shoulders.

Read on for Foles' wild journey from benchwarmer to Super Bowl starter.

Nick Foles was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2012 after a successful college career at Arizona. Foles initially backed up Eagles starter Michael Vick.

Foles started six games for the Eagles after Vick went down with a concussion. With Foles at the helm, Philadelphia went 1-5, and he was relegated to backup duty again the next season.

But when Vick went down again in 2013, Foles had his breakout year. He threw 27 touchdown passes, led the Eagles to the playoffs, and was named to the Pro Bowl.

Alexa has learned a new skill: sending text messages. 

On Tuesday, Amazon introduced the ability to send text messages from your Echo device to anyone in your contacts.

All you have to do is say, "Alexa, send a message." Alexa will then either send your message as a regular text, or over Alexa messaging (if it's to another Alexa-enabled device). The new feature works using any Alexa device, like the Echo Dot or Echo Show, but it only users with Android phones will be able to enable text messaging — at least for now. 

Here's how to set it up:

When you open the Alexa app on your Android phone, you should be greeted with this screen letting you know the new feature is available (text messaging isn't available on iPhones yet).

You'll have to give Amazon some permissions, like accessing your contacts.

To turn the feature on, click the conversations button at the bottom of the screen.

When it comes to making healthier food choices, one of the best things you can do for your overall health (and your waistline) is cut back on sugar. It's why we created the Zero Sugar Diet to help people curb their sugar cravings and demolish their sugar addiction for good.

Obvious sweet treats like cookies, cakes, and soda are easy enough to pick out and avoid, but what about the secret sugar bombs lurking in your "healthy" meals and snacks? Many seemingly diet-conscious salads, smoothies, and sauces contain more sugar than a can of soda. If you really want to work on slashing the sweet stuff from your diet, take a peek at these deceptive menu choices—all of which have more sugar than a can of Coke (39 grams)—to learn what items you need to avoid the next time you're choosing a drink, snack, or meal.

Curious what other foods are secretly loaded with sugar? Take a peek at the 35 most sugar-filled restaurant meals on the planet to learn what else you need to avoid while eating out.

Smoothie King’s Caribbean Way smoothie

1 smoothie: 380 calories, 0 g fat (0 g saturated fat), 10 mg sodium, 97 g carbs (4 g fiber, 83 g sugar), 1 g protein

This fruit-based beverage may sound innocent enough, but even its smallest size contains more sugar than two cans of Coke. In order to get that tropical taste, Smoothie King combines bananas and a papaya juice blend and throws in some turbinado sugar to sweeten the deal. Bananas and papayas both have quite a bit of natural sweetness and condensing them into liquid form (plus adding more sugar) means multiple fruit servings worth of sugar, all blended into one ominous cup.

Dunkin Donuts vanilla chai latte

1 medium latte: 340 calories, 9 g fat (7 g saturated fat), 160 mg sodium, 56 g carbs (0 g fiber, 49 g sugar), 10 g protein

Chai lattes are deceptive. While the spicy tea variety itself is filled with antioxidants, lattes made with concentrated syrup are an entirely different story. The first ingredient listed in Dunkin Donuts' Vanilla Chai Powder is sugar, so it’s no wonder that even a modestly-sized latte has close to 50 grams of the stuff.

Au Bon Pain's blueberry yogurt and wild blueberry parfait

1 parfait: 380 calories, 10 g fat (4 g saturated fat), 170 mg sodium, 68 g carbs (3 g fiber, 48 g sugar), 11 g protein

Blueberries are a bonafide superfood, but the only thing super about this blueberry parfait is its sugar content. Au Bon Pain's blueberry yogurt is sweetened with corn syrup and their granola contains both brown sugar and maple syrup, all of which account for the parfait's cavity-inducing amount of sugar.

The Insider Pick:

• Everyone wants healthy, smooth, and soft skin. Dry skin not only looks dull and flaky, it also feels tight and itchy. The solution? A good moisturizer. Our favorite moisturizer for both face and body is the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream.

Unless you have extremely oily skin, you need a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. Moisturizers help skin retain its moisture barrier, which is the outer layer of the skin called the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum, when viewed through a microscope, looks somewhat like a brick wall, with dead cells making up the bricks, and lipids — the primary three naturally found in skin are fatty acids, cholesterol, and ceramides — making up the mortar. Skin that is excessively dry loses these lipids, weakening the skins defense mechanisms, and opening it up to irritation, damage and a flaky, dull appearance.

On the most basic level, moisturizers help heal dry skin by attracting and sealing in water, thus replenishing what is lost to the atmosphere. Choosing the right moisturizer, though, can be an exercise in frustration. The typical drugstore has hundreds of moisturizing products on the shelves, all claiming to improve your skin.

Luckily, we’re here to help. We sorted through the seemingly endless drugstore moisturizers and found the ones most recommended for a wide range of skin types. So whatever your skin needs, we’ve got you covered.

Read on in the slides below to learn why the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is our top pick and why you might also like the Neutrogena Hydro Boost, the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat, the Pacifica Coconut Probiotic Water Rehab Cream, the Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented Lotion, the Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, the Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream, and the Aveeno Active Naturals Skin Relief Hand Cream.

The best moisturizer overall

Why you'll love it: The CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is a dermatologist favorite that soothes, pampers, and restores skin at a price that's nice on your wallet.

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream contains three essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid to restore skin moisture, and time-release technology to keep your skin moisturized for 24 hours. It doesn't have any fragrance, oil, skin-irritants, and pimple-producers.

This thick cream glides on smoothly but absorbs fully without leaving you greasy or sticky. It’s excellent for normal to dry skin and is even safe to use on sensitive skin, eczema, and babies’ extra-delicate skin.

The experts at Self chose this as one of the top drugstore moisturizers. Amazon reviewers seem to agree — The CeraVe moisturizer has nearly 8,500 reviews with an average of 4.5 stars.

Pros: Suitable for use on both face and body, safe for sensitive skin, large container

Cons: If applied too thickly, it can be hard to layer foundation makeup over it

Buy CeraVe Moisturizing Cream on Amazon for $13.20

The best facial moisturizer for under $25

Why you'll love it: Neutrogena Hydro Boost gives your face every bit as much moisture as more expensive creams for a fraction of the price.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost moisturizes like a cream but absorbs as quickly and completely as a gel. The result? A healthy, moisturized, and comfortable complexion.

Although the gel moisturizer is geared towards normal-to-dry complexions, it’s remarkably well suited to slightly oily faces, as well. It contains no oils, won’t make you break out, and soaks in quickly, making it an excellent choice for use under makeup.

The water-based gel is a favorite of Byrdie because it is oil-free and made with hyaluronic acid to leave your skin moisturized and glowing without feeling oily. Happy Target buyers describe it as “great,” saying it leaves skin “hydrated,” and many leave reviews professing their love for the cream.

Pros: Lightweight, soaks in quickly with no greasy feel, suitable for most skin types, good under makeup

Cons: If you have very dry skin, this might not be moisturizing enough for you

Buy Neutrogena Hydro Boost at Target for $16.19

The best drugstore facial moisturizer for oily skin

Why you'll love it: With La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat’s mattifying moisture, your oily skin will look and feel great.

Oily skin can be a conundrum: too much moisture and it shines or looks greasy, too little moisture and it gets flaky just like any other complexion. But La Roche-Posay Effaclar Mat finds just the right balance. It absorbs excess oil by providing the light hydration oily skin craves.

Byrdie’s dermatologist reviewer praised La Roche-Posay not only for producing a moisturizer that effectively reduces shine while improving skin texture, but also for supporting its claims with scientific research.

One Amazon reviewer echoes many other happy buyers, saying, “I have oily acne skin, and this moisturizer does not clog pores (it's oil free) and really helps to keep the problems under control, while keeping the skin hydrated.”

Pros: Helps reduce shine, absorbs well, good under makeup

Cons: Tube is small

• Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen met through a friend back in 2006 — and it was pretty much love at first sight.

• The couple married in a tiny wedding ceremony in 2009.

• Today, Brady and Bundchen largely live outside of Boston with their two children.

Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen give new meaning to the phrase "power couple."

The Patriots quarterback is the only NFL player to win five Super Bowls playing for the same team. On Sunday, he'll see whether or not the sixth time's the charm, as the New England Patriots square off against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII.

Going into the game, Brady's definitely not the underdog. As Business Insider's Cork Gaines put it, he's already established himself as "the greatest quarterback of all time."

Meanwhile, Bundchen has frequently ranked on lists of the wealthiest and most powerful women in entertainment. In 2016, she made Forbes' list of highest paid celebrities.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, the couple is worth a total of $540 million. NESN.com and The Week reported Bundchen often out-earns her husband by a margin of millions.

US Naval Forces Europe-Africa released more footage on Wednesday of a Russian fighter jet coming within five feet of a US Navy plane on Monday.

A Russian Su-27 intercepting a US Navy EP-3 Aries signals reconnaissance aircraft over the Black Sea flew within five feet of the American plane, according to the Navy. The intercept lasted two hours and 40 minutes.

"These videos show the Russian Su-27 intercepting the EP-3 from a very close position, at the same altitude, and with an estimated wingtip-to-wingtip horizontal separation as little as five feet at times," US Navy Capt. Bill Ellis, commander of Task Force 67, said in the Navy statement. "For the Russian fighter aircraft to fly this close to the US Navy aircraft, especially for extended periods of time, is unsafe."

"The smallest lapse of focus or error in airmanship by the intercepting aircrew can have disastrous consequences, Ellis said. "There is no margin for error and insufficient time or space for our aircrews to take corrective action."

The US Navy released the first video on Tuesday, and five more on Wednesday. 

The Russian Defense Ministry denied the US Navy's allegations on Monday, saying that it "took place in accordance with international rules of airspace use."

The incident on Monday was the latest of several alleged unsafe intercepts and maneuvers between US and Russian fighter jets.

• Whole Foods 365 just opened its seventh store, its first on the East Coast.
• 365 is Whole Foods' new chain of budget grocery stores with a special focus on private labels and lower prices.
• The new store is in a busy part of Brooklyn and competes with nearby Trader Joe's outposts.
• I visited the store on opening day and came away impressed.

True to its name, Whole Foods 365 is a store meant for every day of the year.

Amazon-owned Whole Foods just opened its seventh 365-branded store in the 300 Ashland building in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. I toured the 30,000-square-foot store the day it opened to take in the sights and sounds and get a feel of what is sure to be a major part of Whole Foods going forward.

Read on to see how Whole Foods 365 differs from both regular Whole Foods stores and its competitors:

The new Whole Foods 365 store is in a recently developed complex sandwiched between the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Atlantic Terminal shopping and transportation center. Its sole neighbor in the building is a new Apple Store.

Signs inside the vestibule advertise the "Friends of 365" vendors you'll find on the main floor. The cafe level will open earlier, at 7 a.m., while the rest of the store will open at 8 a.m.

The vendors are the most prominent feature of the first floor, and they're clustered like a mini food hall.

• If you want to experience the health benefits of exercise, you need to make sure you're working out enough.
• There are some obvious signs your body can send if you're not devoting enough time to fitness.
• If you're getting sick more often, experiencing shortness of breath, or have been feeling blue, then getting a little exercise might be exactly what you need.

If you made a resolution to exercise more this year, you're not alone. Millions of people recommit to fitness when the new year rolls around — and for good reason.

The benefits of exercise are obvious: increased quality of health, improved mood, increased metabolism, increased energy level and a decrease in certain diseases.

But how do you know if you're getting enough exercise?

Other than the 75 minutes of vigorous exercise or 150 minutes of moderate exercise recommended by the American Heart Association and the Center for Disease Control, are there ways your body can tell you that you need to be exercising more?

INSIDER talked to fitness expert Brandon Mentore about the signs your body is telling you to exercise more, and here's what he had to say.

SEE ALSO: An exercise scientist reveals the exercise regime that will burn the most fat

You're getting sick more often.

Mentore told INSIDER that if you find yourself getting sick more often than usual, you might need to increase your physical activity in order to stimulate muscle tissue (which upregulates the immune system).

In fact, research has established a link between moderate, regular exercise and a strong immune system.

You're all backed up.

"If you find yourself more irregular than usual you may need some physical activity to stimulate your bowels and pump the system," said Mentore.

Exercise can stimulate intestinal activity, which moves waste through your digestive tract and prevents constipation. The more you exercise, the less time it takes for food to make its way through the large intestine, which in turn decreases the amount of water that your body absorbs from your stool. 

You find yourself out of breath a lot.

Mentore said this is probably one of the more common signs your body can send that you need to exercise more.

He explained that if you notice a shortness of breath when doing an activity that doesn't normally result in breathing problems, or you're engaging in an activity that you normally have no problems with, but you now have labored breathing, this could be a sign of a deconditioned metabolism and cardiovascular system, both of which can be improved with exercise.

• Fighting off acne is a common occurrence, so it's important to find the best products to prevent it.
• There are plenty of face masks out there that claim to treat acne, but dermatologists are the best people to trust for the right ones.
• These are the most recommended face masks that come in all different styles, including charcoal, honey, and aloe.

Charcoal

Charcoal acts like a magnet, attracting, binding, and drawing out impurities, dirt and oil, thus purifying, decongesting, and shrinking the appearance of pores — making it great weapon against comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads). "Weekly charcoal facial masks for acne are helpful for adults with blemish-prone skin, as it's usually less harsh and drying than classic acne-fighting ingredients like benzoyl peroxide," explains Tsippora Shainhouse, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in Beverly Hills.

Bentonite clay

Do you have oily skin? Bentonite clay is your new BFF. When mixed with liquid, this ultra-absorbent swelling clay opens up like a porous sponge, drawing out oil, excess sebum, and bacteria, leaving skin looking more matte. For this reason, bentonite-based face masks are great for use on oily skin types — they can also be concentrated on shiny areas, such as the T-zone, medial cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead.

Love to do it yourself? Try these home remedies for acne.

Sulfur

Known for its pungent, almost rotten egg-like odor, this stinky keratolytic is also a stellar spot treatment. When applied topically, sulfur causes the skin to shed more quickly, helping to unclog and open pores. It's also bactericidal, meaning it kills acne-causing bacteria and has a drying effect, so putting it in facial masks for acne helps shrink pimples — after bringing them to a head — and speeds up healing. 

Get the scoop on all the amazing skincare benefits of sulfur.

Business Insider's Hayley Peterson reported that, as of January 18, 2018, the online retail giant is deciding between 20 cities in North America. Amazon is set to make its final choice sometime this year.

For better or worse, Amazon HQ2 will likely fundamentally change whatever area it's established in. Critics have predicted traffic snarls, rising rent prices, and gentrification, while proponents are expecting a surge of jobs and economic opportunities.

To figure the exact kinds of jobs Amazon HQ2 might bring in, we took a closer look at Amazon's first headquarters in Seattle, since it stands to reason that many jobs commonly-found at Amazon's current headquarters would be in demand once a second headquarters is established.

Business Insider sifted through the 14,000 Seattle-based occupations and salaries Amazon employees shared on Glassdoor to find jobs that earn over $90,000 a year and received reviews from more than 10 Seattle-based Amazon employees.

Based on that analysis, here's a look at some of the most lucrative jobs Amazon HQ2 might bring to it's future home city:

• Jelly masks promise to hydrate your skin like no other thanks to nourishing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe vera.
• Not only are these masks incredibly hydrating but they're incredibly fun because the masks feel exactly like Jell-O.
• Here are 11 of our favorite jelly masks— ranging from $7 to $160.

Jelly masks. It's a phrase that's nearly impossible to hear without immediately wanting to know more, at least if you're a skin-care devotee. This new crop of complexion treatments relies on a unique texture that strikes the perfect balance between totally weird and supremely satisfying: Think of them like a serving of Jell-O — for your face. With a lightweight, easy-to-rinse-off feel, a cooling effect and an undeniably high Instabait factor, this emerging category of face masks is springing up all over the beauty aisles.

But, like with piñatas, when it comes right down to it, it's what's inside that counts. "As a general rule, it's less about the mask type and really about the active ingredients in any given mask," notes Cambridge, MA dermatologist Dr. Ranella Hirsch. Though if the enticing jelly texture is going to motivate you to use the treatment more often, that's certainly a bonus. With that in mind, we rounded up a lineup of hydration-boosting jellies that combine silky, dreamy textures with skin-loving active ingredients — like hyaluronic acid, alpha hydroxy acids and aloe vera — to transform flaky, dull, dry winter skin in as little as three minutes, or even overnight while catching your beauty Z's. Read on for our favorites.

100% Pure Ginseng Collagen Boost Mast, $7

This slick hydrogel mask is loaded with super hydrators, like organic aloe water, so it's like a blanket of moisture for your skin. And it actually thins out while you wear it, so there's an element of satisfaction in knowing that your skin soaked up all that moisturizing goodness (although the glow-y results would also be a dead giveaway all on their own).

Dior Hydra Life Glow Better Fresh Jelly Mask, $69

This peel-scrub hybrid uses exfoliating alpha hydroxy acid and gritty ground apricot kernel to buff away dull skin, revealing a post-facial-like glow just three minutes later.

First Aid Beauty Hello Fab Ginger & Turmeric Jelly Mask, $32

Clock full of superfood ingredients like ginger, turmeric and vitamin C, this refreshing burst of hydrating jelly has an instant uplifting effect on your senses, your mood and — we swear — those undereye circles, too.

• McDonald's is reportedly re-releasing the "Grand Mac" and "Mac Jr." for a limited time.
• They're different-sized variations on the chain's iconic Big Mac sandwich. The Grand Mac is much larger, and the Mac Jr. is a smaller, single-patty sandwich. 
• Despite how it sounds, they're surprisingly practical for those who love Big Macs but either can't finish one or aren't fully satisfied by one.

The Big Mac — America's burger— just got better. 

Well, bigger. And smaller. 

This month marks the triumphant, albeit limited, return of the "Mac Jr." and the "Grand Mac," which were first released as limited items in January 2017. Brand Eating was first to report on the special burgers' return to menus, though it hasn't been confirmed when and where the Mac Jr. and Grand Mac will be available. 

The Mac Jr. is a smaller, single-patty cheeseburger with all the other Big Mac accoutrements. The Grand Mac is an even larger version of the Big Mac, with 61% more beef than its precursor. 

When the burgers first came out last year, we grabbed all three members of the Mac family to see how they compared:

McDonald's signature burger has some company with the return of the Mac Jr. and the Grand Mac.

The Mac Jr. is a tad underwhelming. Given the dainty name, I half-expected it to be a puny, novelty-sized burger. But alas, it's merely a normal single patty cheeseburger with Big Mac sauce.

In a word, it's fine. It doesn't have the panache of the Big Mac double-patty, triple bun stack, but the sauce still tastes delicious and the pickles still add a satisfying crunch. It's hardly filling, but it may be good for a quick snack on the go.
