'I tried Maybelline's viral Sky High Mascara on offer for Amazon Prime'
I have tried so many different mascaras out there, from high-end Lancôme and Dior ones to drug store cheaper alternatives. I am a sucker for a good advert, and this is when I came across the Maybelline's viral Sky High mascara, which currently has over 50% off on Amazon.
I have three different mascaras on the go at the moment (bad, I know) but I can't find just one I am happy with. I end up layering all three on top of each other.
With pretty much every influencer, makeup guru and even my sister giving their two pence on the product, I knew I wanted to give it a go after such glowing reviews. It is also Molly-Mae's go-to mascara, and if it has Molly's stamp of approval - I was sold.
The wand is plastic and slightly tapered which means it's big enough to coat all the lashes with one swipe, but due to the tapered end, it means you won't smudge into the inner corners of your eye. The wand is also flexible so you can wiggle it, zig-zag it or blink it through your lashes - or whatever your technique is.
The application was faultless. It definitely covered every one of my lashes, and they were very long which is the ultimate goal for me. However, my biggest gripe with other mascaras is when it ends up under my eyes or on my eyelids halfway through the day and end up looking like a panda with some dodgy black smudged eyeshadow going on.
So the Maybelline mascara had passed the application test, but it was time to give it a wear test - and it was a pretty hard one seeing as I was in the office all day and commuting to and from work in a heatwave. But I was pretty impressed, there was a slight smudge under my eyes, but nothing too offensive.
Ideally I'd love a mascara that doesn't transfer at all. This mascara managed to last all day, and at the end of my working day my lashes still looked extremely long and fluttery. For the price you really can't go wrong - especially as it's currently on offer for over half price at just £5.99 compared to £12.99.
It's not just me who loves it either, as Amazon shoppers have given it an impressive 4.3 out of 5 star rating. One beauty fan wrote: "This mascara delivers impressive length and lift without clumping. The flexible wand makes it easy to reach every lash, and the formula is lightweight yet buildable. It lasts all day with minimal flaking. Overall, a great drugstore option for long, defined lashes."

While another penned: "This is a good mascara for the price. First photo after application, second and third photo at the end of the day. Slight panda eye/smudging but not too drastic. Application wise the brush is quite bendy compared to others but goes on well after the 5/6th use (perhaps it thickens slightly??)."
Another viral mascara that is loved by beauty fans is the L'Oreal Telescopic mascara which is currently on offer for £6.99 as opposed to £10.99. It promises to provide up to +70% length and up to 36 hours of wear. The mascara features a flexible multi-comb for easy and high-precision application, and the brush is made with elastomer bristles and flat surfaces that evenly distribute the formula.
A pricier but top-rated mascara is the Lancôme Définicils High Definition Mascara, which is also on offer for Prime Day for £20.30 (usually £24). It delivers instantly longer, separated lashes and the patented brush evenly distributes mascara from root to tip, creating a natural, clump-free look.

Emmerdale's Charity in baby DNA scandal as Ross Barton twist changes everything
Emmerdale's latest episode saw Charity Dingle's betrayal exposed moments after announcing she was pregnant as surrogate for Sarah Sugden and Jacob Gallagher on the ITV soap There was a big twist on Emmerdale on Thursday that saw the surrogacy storyline take an awkward turn. Just as Charity Dingle learned she was pregnant at the fertility clinic, a later scene revealed all may not be as it seemed. Charity had agreed to be a surrogate for her granddaughter Sarah Sugden and her partner Jacob Gallagher. After an embryo transfer Charity feared it was unsuccessful as she began to bleed. So imagine her shock when at the clinic ahead of a second procedure, Charity was told she was in fact pregnant sparking celebrations with the family. It comes after a scene recently teased a reunion for Charity and her ex Vanessa Woodfield, amid her marriage to Mackenzie Boyd hitting the rocks. But the truth about what really happened to them and another character was revealed on Thursday night, and it revealed a potential DNA scandal. Charity seemed a little concerned about the pregnancy and the celebrations by Sarah. It was clear she was hiding something and she wasn't alone, as her ex Ross Barton was seen watching her like there was something he needed to say. We then finally saw flashbacks to the night Charity got drunk and headed over to Vanessa's house, with the pair sharing a kiss. It wasn't Vanessa who Charity spent the night with though, as a flashback confirmed this kiss led nowhere and Charity ended up in the arms of Ross. Vanessa had actually rejected Charity's advances, before sending her out of the house. A rejected Charity staggered around before coming across Ross who had also hit the bottle over his split with Steph Miligan. Soon the pair were kissing before they head off together, and as it panned back to present day the truth came out. Ross asked Charity: "Is it mine?" confirming they had slept together and that there was a chance Charity was pregnant with his child and not with the embryo she is carrying for Sarah. Having heard the baby news and sensing Charity's panic, Ross was quick to figure things out. With that the pair went off for a private chat with Ross demanding to know the paternity of the baby. But will Ross expose her to Mack and Sarah after her betrayal, and could it lead to a split amid reports Mack will be killed by John Sugden? Then there's the fact that if Charity is pregnant with Ross' baby, she's about to break Sarah's heart after offering to be her surrogate. So will she find out the truth or cover it all up just to keep everyone happy?

Lauren Sanchez shares cryptic post about flights being 'about what you learn' not 'where you land' after THAT Blue Origin spaceflight criticism
has shared a cryptic post after the Blue Origin space mission came under widespread fire. The American news anchor, 55, took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday to share a telling post about flights being about 'what you learn'. Alongside a photograph of a sunset, she poignantly penned: 'Not all flights are about where you land... some are about what you learn along the way.' She did not say what she was referring to but her comment came months after the Blue Origin spaceflight came under widespread fire. Daily Mail has contacted Lauren's representatives for comment. Blue Origin is owned by billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, 61, who is married to Lauren after the pair tied the knot on June 27 in Venice. The 11-minute Blue Origin mission carried Lauren, Katy Perry, Gayle King civil rights activist Amanda Nguyen, former rocket scientist Aisha Bowe and filmmaker Kerianne Flynn into space. Flight NS-31 marked the first launch with an all-female crew since Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova's solo space flight in 1963. However, the mission was blasted by A-listers who had branded it 'gluttonous' and 'planet destroying' as many questioned what it actually does for society. Olivia Munn, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kesha were all among those who publicly blasted the spaceflight in scathing comments. And social media users were also in agreement as they also took to social media to complain that the launch was nothing more than a 'joyride for the super-rich'. Dr Gareth Dorrian, a space scientist from the University of Birmingham, told MailOnline: 'Let's call it what it is and not tell ourselves that it is contributing meaningfully to science or space exploration. 'I am afraid I do still think these flights are essentially just joyrides for the super-rich.' While Katy Perry and her fellow crewmates did technically enter space, not everyone is convinced they deserve the title 'astronauts' as Blue Origin insisted. The New Shepard Rocket carried the capsule to the edge of space at nearly twice the speed of sound before detaching and allowing the crew to experience a few minutes of weightlessness. During that period the crew capsule crossed the Karman Line, technically passing from Earth's atmosphere into space. The capsule then made the return journey back to Earth, as the unfurling parachutes drew screams from the crew onboard. Just 11 minutes after launch, the New Shepard capsule touched down within driving distance of the launch platform where Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos was present to open the hatch. While Blue Origin has touted the all-female mission as an inspirational moment in the history of spaceflight, many others were not so convinced. On X, commenters slammed the mission, with comments including: 'They spent like 30 seconds in space. It's not much more than a glorified amusement park ride'; On X, formerly Twitter, one commenter wrote: 'They're not astronauts.... I think real astronauts would be offended at that. They're celebrities sat on their bums'; 'I could not care less about rich people going to space right now'; 'It's just a glorified carnival ride with an escape system and parachutes and tailored outfits/seats. It's a PR stunt if anything.' Blue Origin's 11-minute mission to space 00:00 - Launch New Shepard rocket launches from the Blue Origin Launch Site One about 30 miles north of Van Horn, Texas, at 14:30 BST (09:30) local time. The engine burns a mixture of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen to produce 50,000 kg of force accelerating the rocket to around twice the speed of sound. Onboard, the crew experience three times the force of gravity as the booster accelerates. 02:40 - Booster separation Booster detaches pushing the crew capsule out into space as it returns to Earth. Without the force of the booster pushing from below, the capsule enters freefall and the crew experience weightlessness. During the top of the capsule's path, those inside will enjoy about two to four minutes of weightlessness. 03:30 - Capsule enters space At an altitude of 62 miles, the capsule passes the Karman Line. This line denotes the point at which craft can't rely on the atmosphere to fly and need to start using rocket systems. The line is often used as the boundary of space, although it is about 190 miles (305km) beneath the orbit of the International Space Station. 07:30 - Booster section lands The booster guides itself back to Earth and makes a soft touchdown. Using its remaining fuel the booster slows itself to just 6 miles per hour (9.7 kmph), allowing it to make a gentle touchdown. This makes the rocket reusable for up to 25 trips. The capsule begins to descend to Earth and the crew return to their seats as the force of gravity returns. Three parachutes are deployed to slow the descent and the capsule lands gently within driving distance of the launch platform.
