This Curl-Holding Mascara Is the Secret to Volume and an Extension-Like Lift

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's Whitney Purvis Recalls Memories With Son Before His Death

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 Shows Off Her Natural Beauty in a Cheeky Bikini: ‘I Am Normal’

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.

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.

“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 Returns to Instagram Nearly 1 Year After Husband’s Death

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.

'Mama & Tata' Creator Allegedly in $33.6 Million Debt Since Husband's Death

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.

Renee Rapp Doesn't ‘Like’ Wearing Bras and Loves Her ‘Rack on Display’

Reneé Rapp is all about freeing the nip.

Rapp, 25, opened up about what she really thinks about wearing bras during an episode of Cosmopolitan’s “Blind Date” YouTube series. The magazine’s editor-in-chief, Willa Bennett, asked her, “If we peeked into your closet, what would we see?”

The singer then explained that she has an extensive pants collection. “You would see four racks of pants. Color coordinated jeans of a blue variety, jeans of a black variety, and then sweatpants,” she answered. Bennett then asked Rapp, “No T-shirts? No bras? No underwear?

“I have a couple of bras. I don’t like them,” Rapp replied. “I don’t wear them. I have a bra on now because I’m at Cosmo. I had to wear a bra,” she said while laughing.

The Best Nearly Naked Looks of All Time: Madeline Brewer, More

The Sex Lives of College Girls alum elaborated that when she doesn’t wear a bra, her bust becomes her “whole outfit.”

“It’s like a rack on display — which is cool, and I usually love that,” she said. “But for today, I don’t wanna give it away when I walk through the door and you feel this enormous rack sat to your left.”

While she covered up for the interview, Rapp previously flaunted her figure in a low-cut custom GapStudio by Zac Posen black duchess satin double-breasted blazer gown at the 2025 American Music Awards in Las Vegas in May.

Her sleek dress featured a tuxedo-inspired silhouette equipped with a plunging neckline that revealed her cleavage, strong shoulders and notch lapels. The tailored design cascaded into a floor-length skirt complete with a high-front slit.

Rapp let the red-carpet look speak for itself, opting for only a dainty ring and silver earrings. She tied her look together with pointed-toe heels.

Wake Forest Baseball Coach Breaks Silence After Using Homophobic Slur

Wake Forest baseball coach Tom Walter responded after apparently being caught using a homophobic slur during the NCAA regionals. 

“I am very sorry for my outburst in frustration last night and I recognize the hurt and disappointment it has caused,” Walter said in a Tuesday, June 3, statement released by the university. “I have seen the videos and while I do not remember the specific moment clearly, that language does not reflect my values or the standards of this program. Regardless, I own the consequences and I apologize to the University of Tennessee, to Wake Forest University, and the SEC & ACC.”

During the 4th inning of Wake Forest’s College World Series regional game against the University of Tennessee on Monday, June 2, Walter was shown on ESPN during the at-bat of Tennessee’s Andrew Fischer, alleging mouthing the slur. 

It was not clear who Walter was discussing at the time of the incident, which went viral on social media.

Moments after, Fischer hit a two-run home run to extend Tennessee’s lead to 8-2. Tennessee would ultimately win the game 11-5 and secure a victory in the Knoxville Regional. The loss ended Wake Forest’s season. 

Wake Forest’s vice president and director of athletics, John Currie, also issued a statement on Tuesday condemning Walter’s alleged remark.

“I am both surprised and deeply disappointed in our head coach Tom Walter for his outburst during last night’s baseball game,” the statement said. “I feel badly for those most hurt by such words. I spoke with Coach Walter immediately after the game and again this morning to address this incident, which is completely out of character for him and does not meet the standards of Wake Forest Athletics, Wake Forest University or the Atlantic Coast conference.”

The controversial moment also earned the condemnation of fans and members of the media, including college baseball writer Aaron Fitt

“Was very disappointed to see Tom Walter use a homophobic slur last night — he’s someone I have always respected as a leader of young men,”’ Fitt posted via X on Tuesday. “We need to do a better job making baseball a welcoming place for the gay community.”

Wes Rucker, who covers Tennessee athletics for 247Sports and CBS Sports, issued a similar message on social media. 

“If any of us were caught on video saying what Tom Walter said tonight, we would be fired,” Rucker wrote via X. “Or, at the very least, we would be forced to attend classes and learn why you can’t call anyone that.”

He continued, “There’s no place for that word. We’re going backward as a society if we allow that.”

Lisa Ann Walter Teases 'Freakier Friday': 'Just Wait 'Til You See It'

It has been over 25 years since Lisa Ann Walter starred alongside a 12-year-old Lindsay Lohan in the iconic 1998 Nancy Meyers film, The Parent Trap — and the comedian is so proud to see the former child star thriving.

“It’s wonderful. I have always been so proud of her,” Walter, 61, who played Chessie in the Disney film, told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting her partnership with Synchrony CareCredit. “When she was struggling, I was proud of that little girl [who] I knew — [who] I watched take care of her siblings and being an incredible hard worker and someone who stood by set etiquette and always said ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you’ to every single person in the crew.”

Walter added: “Now, she grew into the most beautiful young woman and the wonderful mother that I always knew she would be.”

The Abbott Elementary star has empathy for the treatment Lohan, 38, received in the early aughts alongside many young women who were thrown into the “snake pit that is Hollywood,” and she’s grateful that we as a society have evolved to be more understanding to children growing up in the public eye.

‘The Parent Trap’ 1998 Cast: Where Are They Now?

Following her successful run in dozens of movies like The Parent Trap and Freaky Friday, Lohan took a brief hiatus from acting before returning in 2022 for Netflix’s Falling for Christmas. Later this year, Lohan is reprising her role as Anna Coleman opposite Jamie Lee Curtis in Freakier Friday.

“Just wait ‘til you see it. I’m telling you,” Walter teased to Us, noting that while she hasn’t seen the final film yet, she “knows a little about it.”

In addition to her relationship with Lohan, The Parent Trap brought Walter one of her best friends: Elaine Hendrix, who plays the infamous Meredith Blake.

The pair first met when Walter was doing a chemistry read with Dennis Quaid. Donning “crappy” old Chessie-clothes, Walter says she and Quaid, 71, were instantly taken aback by Hendrix, 54.

“She was 26 and absolutely stunning. And meanwhile I’m there,” Walter joked to Us. “And then on the first day on set, we started talking and one of us said, ‘Do you want to go get a bite to eat?’ … And we started talking and, we say, the conversation has never stopped.”

It was actually Hendrix, an avid animal rights supporter, who encouraged Walter to adopt her dogs Steve and Buster. A year after she rescued Steve from a high kill shelter, Hendrix’s rescue dog gave birth to puppies. She kept one pup for herself, Ellie, while gifting Buster to Walter.

“We had siblings for years and years until her Ellie passed, and I had Buster,” Walter shared.

A year after the comedian lost Steve to cancer, she discovered a nodule on Buster’s mouth that turned out to be cancer as well.

 

“I had a little money to take care of him because it was right after I started on Abbott Elementary,” she shared, noting that Buster is doing much better these days. “But had I not had that money to take care of Steve and now Buster, who had radiation and other costs… I would’ve had to make this terrible choice that I see a lot of people making.”

Thus, the partnership with Synchrony CareCredit was a natural fit.

“This is a way for people to see in advance what the cost might be for owning a dog or what they call a pocket pet, which is the gerbils and hamsters and Guinea pigs like Sweet Cheeks on Abbott Elementary, Melissa’s favorite,” she shared, referring to the company’s Pet Lifetime of Care study. “So if you’re thinking about getting a pet, you know what it might cost or you can at least plan for the future.”

Miley Cyrus Says Salmon Sperm Is the Secret Behind Her Glowing Skin

Miley Cyrus revealed the unexpected secret behind her glowing complexion: salmon sperm.

During a surprise intimate performance at Bemelmans Bar at The Carlyle Hotel in New York City on Monday, June 2, the “Flowers” singer opened up to the audience in between her setlist. “I tried that salmon sperm. Have you heard about that? I tried it,” she told the unsuspecting crowd, per People.

Cyrus, 32, elaborated on the details of the experience: “Tastes strange, but my skin looks good,” she said before swiftly clarifying, “I didn’t mean to drink it. It’s just like a whole [face] mask.”

While the admission left some of the audience members understandably slack-jawed, Cyrus lightened the mood with a joke. “I never met the salmon,” she quipped. “It came pre-packaged.”

Lindsay Lohan Reveals Her Skincare Beauty Secrets: ‘Everyone Does Botox’

 

Cyrus didn’t shy away from sharing that the treatment was rather, well, fishy. “I don’t even know if it is what it says it is,” she confessed. “I don’t know, but I do feel like my skin’s looking good.”

Cyrus isn’t the only star to embrace salmon sperm treatments for their purported anti-aging benefits. In a March 2025 episode of The Kardashians, Khloé Kardashian shared she uses salmon sperm in her skincare routine. While chatting with her glam team, Kardashian, 40, quipped, “I’m never gonna do whale sperm!” (She draws the line at other sea creatures, too.)

Kim Kardashian previously made headlines for trying a salmon sperm facial, a cosmetic trend popularized initially by Jennifer Aniston. On a 2024 episode of the reality show, Kim, 44, told her mom, Kris Jenner, “I got a salmon sperm facial with salmon sperm injected into my face.”

Aniston, 55, first opened up about her own experience with salmon sperm facials during an interview with WSJ. Magazine in August 2023. The Friends star recounted a conversation with her aesthetician: “First of all, I said, ‘Are you serious? How do you get salmon’s sperm?’”

Jennifer Aniston Admits to Trying a Salmon-Sperm Facial

In 2024, Aniston gave an update on the effects on Jimmy Kimmel Live! While she was yet to see significant results from the facial, she believed it to be “the future” of anti-aging skincare. “Let me explain to you, it’s not like, how do you get sperm out of a salmon?” she told Jimmy Kimmel, noting that, at the time, the process was “unclear” to her. She just took the facialist’s “word” and was, “like, ‘sure.’” “But don’t I look like a salmon? Don’t I have beautiful salmon skin?” Aniston joked.

For the uninitiated, the treatment typically involves micro-needling the skin with salmon sperm, which can be combined with hyaluronic acid, according to Beverly Hills-based cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gabriel Chiu, who discussed the burgeoning skincare trend with Variety in September 2024.

According to dermatologist Dr. Joshua Zeichner, salmon reproductive cells have been shown “to improve skin, hydration, plumpness, texture and wrinkles,” per a 2023 interview with Popsugar. “The effects on the skin are thought to be due to high DNA levels. DNA is composed of amino acids, which have long been used in skin care for their hydrating and cell-renewing benefits.”

Judging by Cyrus’ appearance at the 2025 Met Gala, whatever she’s doing, it’s working. The Grammy-winner lit up the Metropolitan Museum of Art red carpet on Monday, May 5, in a custom Alaïa ensemble and invisible makeup that highlighted her naturally radiant visage.

Denise Richards Is the Latest Star to Try Salmon Sperm Facial for 1 Reason

At the time, her makeup artist, James Kaliardos, took to Instagram to break down the look, which he said was all about “clean skin, quiet confidence, sculpted yet subtle glam.” Using all Maybelline New York products, he listed every product step by step, and captioned the post with a riff on the slogan: “@mileycyrus is born with it — and in this @maybelline Met look, she let it show.”

While Cyrus isn’t shy about letting the world know about her experimentation with salmon sperm treatments, she leaves the rest of her beauty routine to the professionals, and for good reason. In a recent episode of “The Interview” podcast by The New York Times with Lulu Garcia-Navarro, the singer explained why, unlike many other stars, she hasn’t launched her own makeup line.

“My stepdad asked me the other day, ‘Why are you the only one without a makeup line?’” she recounted. “I was like, ‘Cause that’s not my passion.’ He goes, ‘That’s the right answer.’ And it made so much sense. It’s like, ‘I don’t have a makeup line because I’m not a makeup artist.’”

After all, Cyrus has never pretended to be anything but herself — salmon sperm facials included.
