 | Got yard work to do this weekend? Black & Decker's cordless mulching mower might help. It's got a 19" mower deck, starts with the flip of a switch, and (thankfully) requires no gas, oil, tuneups, or trips to the service station. (And it recharges to 100% in 10 hours.) The company says the mower is ideal for lawns up to 1/3 of an acre. Best of all there is no assembly required. Suddenly mowing the lawn sounds a lot less daunting, doesn't it? More lawn mowers. |  | One of our editors says she doesn't wear makeup because a) she's lazy, and b) she's no good at applying it. That doesn't stop her, however, from occasionally playing with all the makeup samples at her local Sephora, from which she'll emerge looking like a clown. Next time she may emerge looking like a zebra, if Sephora lets her sample these ColorOn EyeEnvy eyeshadow stickers. Available in several conservative options as well as the "exotic kit" shown here, these one-size-fits-all cream eyeshadow appliques are hypo-allergenic, long-wearing, crease-proof, and can be applied in minutes. For maximum effect, we recommend wearing them with a conservative business suit, just for the contrast. Especially if you're a guy. |  | Now shipping: The (unlocked) Palm Treo Pro, a smartphone for "mobile professionals" that's a lot less clunky than its predecessors. The Treo Pro offers both a full QWERTY keyboard and a touch screen, and has lots of useful features: 3G (if you use an AT&T SIM), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, 2-megapixel camera, and a memory expansion slot that can hold cards up to 32GB. But at $500, we hope you can convince your company to pay for it. More smartphones. |  | You know, as far as political masks go, this one of John McCain isn't half bad (compared to the Palin one, which looks like it bypassed the QA department entirely). Sometimes these masks are so bad you can't even tell who they're supposed to be. Anyway, if you're looking for the easiest, cheapest way out of a Halloween costume this year, you can go with a political mask (we've also got Obama masks), but don't expect to be the only McCain/Obama at the Halloween party. More Halloween costume ideas. |  | If you liked that "Oh No! Not You Again" doormat, you'll probably get a kick out of this one, which reads "Come back with a warrant." It'll crack up your guests and make the cops wonder what you're hiding inside. The mat measures 18" x 27" and can be used inside or outdoors. $17.99 from Target online (not in stores). |
