Every beauty queen has experienced a mascara mishap or two, whether it’s post-swim raccoon eyes or applying a few too many layers and leaving behind a spider-like situation. But sometimes — actually, most times — it’s not our fault. Bad formulas yield droopy lashes, flakes and clumps, all while damaging your lashes and fighting against makeup remover.

If you find yourself having to choose between quality and effectiveness, fLash Cosmetics has the solution. The brand just released a waterproof, curl-holding mascara that makes every day a great lash day — minus the parabens, mineral oil, talc, D5 and other nasty ingredients. Thanks to a specific combination of powerful natural ingredients, Lash Enwrapping Technology and an extra-slim brush, it’s possible to achieve an extension-like look.

fLash’s Happy High-Definition Mascara includes a high-quality wax from organic olive trees, along with carnauba and other anti-caking ingredients. However, the real showstopper is the proprietary lash technology. The product individually wraps each lash with a non-sticky, flexible coating, preventing clumping, smudging and flaking. Users are left with a long-lasting, wave-like curl that has exceptional length, head-turning volume and fullness.

The slim brush was also specially engineered to work with the mascara’s ingredients and technology, and includes special fibers that separate the lashes while simultaneously covering them. It also adapts to the shape of your eyes, reaching even the shortest lashes. A lift is guaranteed with this design!

The product was made to last all day and night, so it always looks freshly applied. It gives your lashes a salon-like curl without the spidery, clumpy look of most mascaras and a confidence-boosting definition that people can’t help but compliment.

Plus, when it’s time to take off your makeup, the formula couldn’t be easier to remove. Warm water exposure naturally breaks down the mascara, no scrubbing needed. Simply take it off in the shower or during your evening skincare routine.

At just $18, grab one for yourself and your bestie! Whether you pair it with the brand’s crowd-loved lash-enhancing serum is up to you, but either way, the solution to your mascara woes is just a few clicks away.

16 and Pregnant alum Whitney Purvis is reflecting on her favorite memories with 16-year-old son Weston Jr. Gosa before his tragic death.

“I will always cherish our memories together,” Purvis wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, June 3. “The songs you [used] to love, your laugh, the phases you would go through, the little dolphin noise you [used] to do when you were younger, your smile, your jokes, the first day of school, playing with you, your first time swimming, making crafts, how you would dance in your crib to the law and order svu theme song, being a great big brother, the first time I held you and the last hug I gave you.”

The post featured two snaps of Purvis and her eldest son. The first was a photo taken while the duo were out to eat while the second was a throwback selfie from when he was a baby.

“I love you Weston more than words could ever describe. Rest in peace, my beautiful boy,” she concluded.

'16 and Pregnant' Star Whitney Purvis' Son Weston Dead at 16

Purvis announced on Monday, June 2, that Weston had died unexpectedly.

“This is so hard to write. My beautiful son, Weston, has passed away. He was only 16 years old. Life is so cruel and unfair,” she wrote via Facebook. “I just don’t understand. Oh my baby is gone and I don’t know what to do with myself. He was so perfect. This is really my worst nightmare come true. How do you go on in life after losing a child? I’m in disbelief, this cannot be happening. I don’t want it to be real. I would do anything just to hold him. Words just can’t describe the pain I am feeling.”

Purvis welcomed Weston in April 2009 with ex Weston Gosa during the first season of 16 and Pregnant.

An official cause of death has yet to be determined. Weston’s stepmom, Amy Gosa, shared via Facebook that the family attempted to wake Weston up only to discover he was “not breathing.”

“We attempted CPR and called an ambulance. The paramedics attempted it as well and took him to the hospital in Gordon County where he was pronounced dead,” Amy wrote. “He had several health issues as well as diabetes. We are completely heartbroken and in shock. It was so unexpected.”

Amy added that “losing a child is the most painful thing” she has “ever experienced.”

“He was the most amazing son I could have asked for. He was brilliant, smart, funny and had so much potential in life. It doesn’t feel real,” she continued. “Please keep our family and Whitney in your thoughts and prayers as we mourn such a brilliant amazing life that was our son.”

Chappell Roan is embracing her natural beauty.

Roan, 27, took to Instagram on Monday, June 3, to show off her naturally kinky hair and bombshell curves in a bikini. In the snap, she rocked a black two-piece featuring a scoop neck and thick straps while she posed in her bathroom. The singer elevated the top with matching bottoms, complete with a cheeky back and bows tied at her hips.

For glam, Roan, who usually wears drag glam while hitting the stage, went nearly makeup-free. This time, she donned a touch of mascara and sharp, winged eyeliner. She completed her off-duty beauty look with a bit of lip balm on her pout.

Roan let her curls down while posing for the camera, and even shook them around in one clip.

“I am actually normal. ,” she captioned the series of images. Her fans were quick to praise the singer’s laid-back look in the comments section.

“THE HAIR IS ALL I CAN DREAM OF,” one user wrote. Another declared, “The way my jaw dropped,” while a third gushed, “You’re actually stunning.”

This isn’t the first time Roan has shown off an au natural selfie. Ahead of the 2025 Grammys, she posted a number of makeup-free selfies from her car while going makeup-free. The pop star embraced her natural coils and let her mane run wild, with her bangs voluminously sticking up in all different directions.

At the time, she reflected on her emotions while heading into music’s biggest night.

Chappell Roan Details 'Really Hard' Transition to Superstardom

“I am very emo. My heart feels warm and fuzzy with all the support I have been given this past year. I hope you can understand that this has been incredible and scary and spiritual and confusing,” she wrote, adding: “I love the performance we’re preparing for you all. And girl no matter what, just know when I’m up on stage, all I’m really feeling in my heart is love to the queer community, especially those in places where it is unsafe to be yourself.”

Roan ended up taking home the trophy for Best New Artist.

Candice Miller returned to social media with a poignant message nearly one year after the death of her husband, Brandon Miller.

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer,” Candice wrote via Instagram. “And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.”

Alongside the message, the Mama & Tata influencer shared a photo of the sun peaking through cloudy skies over a body of water.

News broke in July 2024 that Brandon died. His death was later ruled to be a suicide. (Candice and Brandon tied the knot in 2009 and later welcomed two daughters.)

Socialite Candice Miller Rebuilding Her Life After Husband's Death: Report

After his death, a spokesperson for the family said in a statement to The New York Times, “Candice is devastated by the loss of her soul mate, and her two young daughters’ lives are forever impacted by the loss of their beloved daddy.”

Months later, court documents obtained by The New York Times revealed that Brandon was $33.6 million in debt at the time of his death. Candice claimed that her husband died without a will, leaving her in debt and only $8,000 in her bank account.

Candice, who initially deactivated her social media after Brandon’s death, claimed in the docs that he owed more than $20 million in unsecured loans from UBS Bank, BMO Bank and American Express.

In January, Page Six reported that Candice began auctioning off her husband’s belongings. Multiple items were listed on the website Auction Ninja, featuring an “exclusive curated online auction” sale at the Mecox Bay Water Mill Estate, per the outlet.

“The auction features a carefully selected collection of fine art, furniture, decor, and bespoke pieces that were part of the home’s decor, providing an exclusive chance to own a piece of this stunning, meticulously crafted living space,” a description of the auction items read. “For collectors and design enthusiasts, this is an unmissable opportunity to acquire rare, beautifully curated items with the unique touch of a celebrated designer.”

Page Six also reported in January that Candice was moving forward after Brandon’s death by attending parties, various events and dinners after relocating to Miami Beach, Florida.

President Trump signed an order Tuesday doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from 25% to 50% for al trading partners except the U.S. — drawing swift criticism from officials in neighboring Canada and Mexico.

Why it matters: Trump's order said the increased tariffs that took effect early Wednesday "will more effectively counter" countries that "offload low-priced, excess steel and aluminum" in the U.S., but economic officials have said such levies would lead to higher consumer prices and inflation.

---

• A European Union official said after Trump announced the metal tariffs plan at a U.S. Steel plant in Pennsylvania on Friday that the president's decision "adds further uncertainty to the global economy and increases costs for consumers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic."

Details: Trump says in the order that the previously imposed steel and aluminum tariffs had helped "provide critical price support" in the U.S.

• However, "they have not yet enabled these industries to develop and maintain the rates of capacity production utilization that are necessary for the industries' sustained health and for projected national defense needs," he said.
• "I have determined that increasing the previously imposed tariffs will provide greater support to these industries and reduce or eliminate the national security threat posed by imports of steel and aluminum articles and their derivative articles."

Yes, but: Steel and aluminum imports from the U.K. will remain at 25% until at least July 9 due to the framework for a sweeping new trade pact that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Trump signed last month.

State of play: The U.K. is not a leading exporter of the metals to the U.S., but Reuters notes that Canada exports the most steel by shipment volumes to the U.S. followed by Mexico.

• Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's office said in a Tuesday media statement that his government was "engaged in intensive and live negotiations" for the removal of the tariffs, which it described as "unlawful and unjustified."
• Mexican Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard said during a Tuesday event that he'd seek an exemption for the country from the tariffs that he called "not fair" and "unsustainable," per multiple reports.

Flashback: Canada and Mexico were exempted from tariffs Trump imposed on the metals for trading partners during his first term.

Oatly’s marketers don’t do normal – even when it comes to market research.

Usually it’s sanitized – committee-approved, consultant-scripted and delivered too late to shape real creativity. 

Oatly, the oat milk brand, however, is taking a different approach – one that’s looser, more intuitive and built to serve the people actually shaping the brand. It’s less about rigid frameworks and more about staying closer to culture, listening in real time.

In 2025, podcasts are more attractive than ever to advertisers who want to reach young and plugged-in consumers. As podcasting evolves from an audio medium into a video medium, brands are increasingly viewing the format as premium, complete with high viewability, strong engagement and audience quality. As a result, brands are starting to pull from budgets beyond their usual audio advertising funds, including those earmarked for influencer marketing, for their podcasting spend.

On Tuesday, June 4, podcasting research and consultancy firm Sounds Profitable will release a report on podcasting’s place within the broader world of ad-supported media. The online study, done in partnership with Signal Hill Insights, analyzed the responses of 5,005 Americans above the age of 18 in January and February 2025 — and Digiday got a sneak preview. Here are some of the key takeaways.

Frequent podcast listeners remember ads more than top consumers of other media

Sounds Profitable’s data report included questions that focused on what the company calls “prime users” — the most engaged and loyal consumers who tune in to their preferred medium daily — with the goal of understanding the reach of advertisers’ messaging to both casual consumers and dedicated podcast listeners.

IAB Tech Lab has used its annual summit to announce two major initiatives aimed at modernizing digital advertising infrastructure and content governance, as well as addressing some of the fundamental challenges that generative AI and LLMs pose to content monetization.

The two-part announcement details two key initiatives with the LLM Content Ingest API Initiative, addressing publishers’ concerns prompted by AI agents and large language models, as well as AI-driven search summaries that reduce publisher traffic. Meanwhile, its Containerization Project is geared toward the development and maintenance of programmatic infrastructure (see more below).

• The LLM Content Ingest API initiative proposes a technical framework to help publishers and brands control how their content is accessed, monetized, and represented by AI systems, aiming to address traffic and revenue losses caused by generative AI. These APIs can then be used to control access to publisher content by LLMs, with the two then able to agree on monetization models.  

• The Containerization Project introduces standardized container technology for OpenRTB to streamline ad tech deployment, improve scalability, and reduce latency across the programmatic supply chain. This includes specialized bid enrichment and evaluation partners, mounting scaling challenges, especially for live events, fragmented systems, and uneven performance, which have made the current foundation difficult to evolve.

IAB Tech Lab is inviting publishers, brands, LLM platforms, and AI agent developers to provide feedback on the proposals, with a workshop for the LLM Content Ingest API scheme planned for next month. Elsewhere, the Tech Lab Containerization Project Working Group is responsible for leading the separate effort, with representatives there also requesting feedback on the initiative.
