Scarlett Johansson calls out AI celeb video slamming Kanye West
Actress Scarlett Johansson is calling for urgent AI safety legislation after a deepfake video of her and other Jewish celebrities went viral for slamming antisemitism by Ye, formerly Kanye West.
The viral post shows AI-generated versions of Johansson, rapper Drake, Jerry Seinfeld, Ben Stiller, Mila Kunis, Steven Spielberg, Lenny Kravitz and other big names wearing white T-shirts with the Star of David inside of a hand making a middle finger gesture with 'Kanye' written below.
It features the Jewish folk song 'Hava Nagila' in the background and ends with the message 'Enough is Enough' and 'Join the Fight Against Antisemitism.'
The video started circulating after the 'Donda' rapper's recent hate-fueled tirade on X where he professed his love for Hitler and made many antisemitic and other hateful comments. Then, during Super Bowl LIX, he aired a commercial advertising his Yeezy clothing brand and urged viewers to head to his website. There, the site was selling a T-shirt featuring a swastika.
The item has since been taken down, the store removed from Shopify, the e-commerce online store platform, and his X account deactivated.

Johansson said her likeness was used without her consent and is calling for lawmakers to regulate the use of artificial intelligence and prioritize passing legislation to limit AI use.
'It has been brought to my attention by family members and friends, that an AI-generated video featuring my likeness, in response to an antisemitic view, has been circulating online and gaining traction,' Johansson said in a statement obtained by CNN. 'I am a Jewish woman who has no tolerance for antisemitism or hate speech of any kind. But I also firmly believe that the potential for hate speech multiplied by AI is a far greater threat than any one person who takes accountability for it. We must call out the misuse of AI, no matter its messaging, or we risk losing a hold on reality.'
'I urge the U.S government to make the passing of legislation limiting AI use a top priority,' she continued. 'It is a bipartisan issue that enormously affects the immediate future of humanity at large.'

The video was created by Ori Bejerano of Israel whose Instagram bio states he's a 'Generative AI Expert, Creator, Researcher & Lecturer, Leading AI-Driven Advertising.'
'F–k you Kanye West,' Bejerano's caption translated to. 'In recent days, Kanye West has again crossed every possible red line. The man who had previously proclaimed 'I am Nazi praise Hitler' and spread anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, used one of the biggest stages in the world – running an ad during the Super Bowl – to spread antisemitism and hate.'
He said West's recent actions were not a 'gimmick' or 'artistic provocation' but an 'intentional incitement against Jews.'
However, this is not the 'Black Widow' actress' first issue with the technology.
'I have unfortunately been a very public victim of AI, but the truth is that the threat of AI affects each and every one of us,' she continued. 'There is a 1000-foot wave coming regarding AI that several progressive countries, not including the United States, have responded to in a responsible manner. It is terrifying that the US government is paralyzed when it comes to passing legislation that protects all of its citizens against the imminent dangers of AI.'
In 2024, she claimed OpenAI used her voice for a version of ChatGPT even though she declined the offer many times. OpenAI eventually removed the voice.

Scarlett Johansson Asked to Have ‘Thunderbolts*' EP Credit Removed, Says Marvel Casts Get ‘So Enormous' You Sometimes ‘Feel Like a Device' to Move the Plot Along
Scarlett Johansson told David Harbour during a conversation for Interview magazine that she asked Marvel to remove her executive producer credit for 'Thunderbolts*,' the Marvel tentpole that opened in theaters in May. Harbour headlined 'Thunderbolts*' alongside Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Julia Louis Dreyfus and more. Harbour and Pugh originally made their MCU debuts opposite Johansson in 'Black Widow.' 'It's the opening day of a movie that basically you are the seventh Thunderbolt in. Your character is all over this movie…. You are an executive producer on it. Congratulations,' Harbour said during the chat. More from Variety Marvel's 'Vision' Lands 'Schitt's Creek' Star Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H. 'The Fantastic Four' Director Matt Shakman Reveals the 'Magical' Comics That Inspired the Film in 'Small and Large Ways' (EXCLUSIVE) Marvel Studios Skipping Comic-Con Hall H Panel for 2025 'I asked to have my credit removed because I wasn't involved,' Johansson replied, more or less suggesting that contractual reasons were why she was credited. Elsewhere during their Interview magazine discussion, the 'Black Widow' co-stars found common ground over the annoyances that arise while playing the same character for a decade or more. Johansson played Black Widow in the MCU for 11 years. 'Some of the films that I did for Marvel engaged my character more than others,' she said. 'Like in 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' with Chris [Evans], we were really dynamic. In some of the other films, the cast was so enormous and there was so much plot to serve that you start to feel like you're a device to move it along. And if you're committed to five and a half months of that, it's like, 'Okay. I can't paint my nails, I can't get a haircut.' These sound like silly problems, but your identity is wrapped up in this job for a long time, and if you're not doing engaging work as an actor, you feel a little cagey sometimes.' Harbour can relate to Johansson after playing Hopper on Netflix's 'Stranger Things' for nearly 10 years. The series comes to an end with its fifth and final season this upcoming holiday season. 'When I started I loved it so much,' Harbour said. 'Buddies of mine who'd done TV shows for many years said, 'By season three or four you'll be running.' And I was like, 'Never! I love all these guys so much.' And then you get to a certain point where you're like, 'How much more story is there?' You're having to play a lot of the same beat, and there's a feeling where you're like, 'I want to take a risk. I want to do something that people haven't seen me do before.' So yeah, after 10 years, it's like, 'Okay.'' Johansson's Black Widow was killed off in 2019's 'Avengers: Endgame.' The standalone 'Black Widow' movie served as a prequel. The actor has stressed in the years since that she does not plan on returning to Marvel. 'It would be very hard for me to understand in what capacity [returning] would make sense for me, for the character that I play,' Johansson told Vanity Fair earlier this year. 'I miss my buddies and really would love to be with them forever, but what works about the character is that her story is complete. I don't want to mess with that. For fans, too — it's important for them.' Head over to Interview's website to read Johansson's latest interview with Harbour.

Jeff Bezos' Mom Enrolled Him in Football Because He Struggled With Other Kids — 'Barely Made the Weight Limit' But 2 Weeks Later, He Was Captain
You can only tell the "Bezos started Amazon in his garage" story so many times before it starts to feel like a corporate bedtime story. But long before the garage and the buff billionaire energy, Jeff Bezos was just a scrawny Texas kid who, according to his mom, "barely made the weight limit" to play youth football. That detail — along with most of what follows — comes from "The Inner Jeff Bezos," a 1999 Wired profile that dug into the early years of the now-spacefaring mogul. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Jackie Bezos said her son wasn't always the most socially comfortable kid. To help him fit in, she and her husband signed him up for the high-stakes world of Texas football — and expected the worst. "I thought he was going to get creamed out there," she admitted. But just two weeks later, her undersized son was named defensive captain. Why? He was the only kid who could remember all the plays — not just his own, but the entire squad's. Of course, he was. That same brainpower showed up in more geek-approved ways, too. In elementary school, Bezos enrolled in the Vanguard program at Houston's River Oaks Elementary, a magnet school for academically advanced students. The Wired profile also mentioned how Julie Ray's 1977 book "Turning on Bright Minds" followed 12-year-old Jeff — pseudonym "Tim" — through a typical school day, describing him as "friendly but serious," and "possessed of general intellectual excellence." He was, notably, "not particularly gifted in leadership," though that might come as a surprise to his future employees and rocket engineers. Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . But if he wasn't a born leader, he was a born sci-fi addict. Once his school got access to a mainframe computer, Bezos and friends would spend hours playing a primitive Star Trek game, hunting down cloaked Klingons on a three-by-three matrix. Forget flag football — this is what real future billionaires were doing in the '70s. By high school, Bezos had his eyes on the stars — literally. While other kids dreamed of becoming astronauts, he told people he planned to be a space entrepreneur. "He said the future of mankind is not on this planet, because we might be struck by something, and we better have a spaceship out there," recalled the father of his high school girlfriend, Rudolf Werner. That might've sounded like sci-fi-fueled delusion back then — the kind of thing a teenager says after too many NASA brochures and not enough sleep — but Bezos wasn't bluffing. He attended a high school space initiative at NASA's Huntsville facility in Alabama, where his plans for a future among the stars started taking shape. According to his science teacher Bill McCreary, "Oh, he had ideas about space promotion!"Those ideas weren't about being the next astronaut on a shuttle. Bezos wanted to build the shuttle. Run the launchpad. Own the orbital infrastructure. And if you've seen Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket or his statements about colonizing space, well — that wasn't just a passing teenage obsession. It was a business plan in beta. Even today, he hasn't let go of the big vision. When reminded in the Wired interview of his youthful warnings that Earth was vulnerable to extinction-level disasters, Bezos chuckled — but only for a second. "I wouldn't mind helping in some way," he said. "I do think we have all our eggs in one basket." Read Next: Here's what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.

Amazon Promising review: "I ran out of the Drunk Elephant bronzing drops, but I didn't want to spend another forty dollars, so I purchased this instead, and I am so glad I did. I like to mix it with my moisturizer or my tinted sunscreen to give me that bronzed, natural glow. This is exactly like the Drunk Elephant one and I will definitely be repurchasing." —Todd U. Get it from Amazon for $5.99. Promising review: "Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim but never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. This shade, in my opinion, is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can't be beat, so I'm buying more." —HAC Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both)! Read more about nail care, including how nail strengtheners may help nails, at Mayo Clinic. Promising reviews: "My Dior nail glow ran out and I saw this brand had a [lookalike} for that. I liked this color even more... Excellent everyday, clean-looking polish. Seems stronger than Essie." —reviewer22 "Growing out my nails has always been a challenge for me; I'm guilty of biting and peeling/picking at my nails when I'm nervous. This product has completely changed my nail game. It gives my nails a hard protective coating, and the tint of pink makes even my stubby nails look professional and pretty." —Andi Get it from Amazon for $5.36. Promising reviews: "I looooove this so much. The smell is amazing, and it tends to stick around for a while, so I love getting whiffs of it throughout the day. My hair is softer and doesn't seem as frizzy as before. I put it on after washing my hair and then after it's dry. I tend to wash my hair two times a week, so I'll use it in between washes on my ends to make sure they still look nice and healthy. Great value, too; I've been using it pretty consistently since purchasing, and I've barely made a dent in it. Love it!" —Noley "Coming from someone with very coarse 4c hair.. this product is heaven-sent. Extremely satisfied. Sticking to this product and this product only from now on, lol." —Danielle Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes, a mist style, and four other formulas). Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette in action. Promising review: "Best [alternative] for the Make Up For Ever HD Skin Face Essentials Longwear Full Face Cream palette that costs around $80. This one has less color options than the Make Up For Ever palette, but it's definitely the best [alternative], and for the price, it works amazingly. The blush and bronzer last hours on my skin — after setting spray, of course. I mix the two blushes on the back of my hand, and it's a good color for me. Also, I recommend warming the product on the back of your hand; that way, it's easier to blend and apply. Even without doing that, it is very easy to blend." —Lorraine Get it from Amazon for $8. The color-adaptive formula is designed so one of four shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "I used to use the Becca under-eye product, and this one is way better. You can sheer it out and warm it up on your hand. Don't need to use a lot, and it adds a lot of brightness under concealer." —Ariel O "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Monica T. Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). Promising review: "Since trying this product, I will never go back to anything else. For years, I've been using Better Than Sex by Too Faced, and I absolutely loved it. But as you know, it's at a higher price point. I was looking for a cheaper option that worked the same, if not better. I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this. For me... THIS WORKS BETTER! I've tried both the black and brown options as well as the waterproof options and [I'm] blown away by every one of them!! This is my new favorite mascara! Makes my lashes look like I had them professionally done." —chela1389 Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black or brown and as a three-pack). Emma Lord / BuzzFeed Watch on TikTok as one user goes from skeptic to believer! BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord considers herself a fan: "I am not a new human to the tubing mascara game, and in fact, I readily spent $26 on the famous OG blend from Blinc every time it needed replacing. I didn't even love it for the length half as much as the fact that tubing mascara like this genuinely never smudges, but can I just say — regardless of price, the formula blows all the others I've tried out of the water. It gives me way more length and volume than other brands, slides on so much more easily, stays put ALL day, and never, ever smudges. My favorite part, though, is how gently and easily it comes off with soap and water. In the past, other mascara removals have felt rough on my lashes, but this comes off so fast that I'm like ??? was I even mascara a minute ago?? Anyway, I hesitate even writing this review because I want to gatekeep the hell out of this before it sells out, but the world needed to know. I'm a big fan of the brown shade (which is what I'm wearing above!), but it also comes in black and soft black." Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in three shades). Promising review: "I bought this and my daughter immediately tried to steal it because she thought it was the real thing. Ha! This is so easy to use and a little goes a long way. This will last for a while. And was a fraction of the price of the brand name." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three shades). Promising review: "This stuff is no joke. I like to use one product for my full face for a quick makeup routine, as eyeshadow, blush, and highlight all at once. When I tell you I need exactly two dots for my whole face, I couldn't be more serious! It has a different, more glossy texture than a Rare Beauty blush, but the pigment is much stronger. Comes off very dewy and kind of glossy but can be made matte with powder. The only thing I will say is that if you overwork it, there can be small lifted spots, which happened to me when I first tried it because I used too much and then had to try to blend so much. Already purchased another color. Love E.l.f. makeup!" —oscar Julian zapotitla Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in 12 shades). Promising review: "These are fantastic. I bought all four, and I hope they add more colors. They are giving Patrick Ta, but better, at a fraction of the cost. They really last all day individually, but if you want you can layer them for even more color saturation. The textures are great, easy application. The two pinks are very pigmented and vibrant, so go easy at first. Highly recommend." —Joan A. Get it from Amazon for $7 (available in four shades). Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed, Promising review: "This sunscreen is a gem. I was not expecting to love it as much as I do. I absolutely love E.l.f. products, but I rarely try their skincare. Something told me to try this. When I put it on, it gave a smooth silicone finish and feel. I was faithful to Supergoop but didn't want to spend as much as the product is listed for. I will continue to use this sunscreen; it has been one of the best I've ever tried. I've been into skincare since I was 15; I am 37, and for me to say that this product is a gold mine is rare." —Angelina S Get it from Amazon for $5+ (available in two sizes). Promising reviews: "I have used Moroccanoil for years and decided to give this a shot. This is better than Moroccanoil and I will be buying again. It keeps my hair soft and smooth even in summer humidity. Great product." —Caitlin K. "This product is a legit alternative to the Ouai hair oil. They smell identical, they feel exactly the same, and they left my hair shiny and soft. And most importantly it saved me some money for the future." —Brianna Reed Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in packs of two and four). Promising reviews: "Better than Starface!!! These stick extremely well and actually pull out and absorb the gunk. Plus, they come with soooooo many." —chey "I love these and wish they had them around when I was a teenager! I literally use them as facial decorations in addition to hiding blemishes and, my teenage son has no problem wearing them because they effectively minimize zits!!" —Monica LivaClean is a small business specializing in acne solutions and skincare. Get a pack of 240 from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four shapes/colors and in multipacks). Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely fantastic! Don't let the low price throw you off because this can do better, in my opinion, than 'the elephant stuff'! I had those itty bitty bumps right under my bottom lip on my chin and four days after using this stuff with micro-needling, they were gone! I have always taken good care of my skin and now that I am 43, I am just now realizing that I did a better job than I thought I had. I want to KEEP doing doing good stuff for my skin but not pay a fortune. This formula has a fresh orange-like smell to it and goes on very easily with a dropper. It dries within a minute and soaks in completely. I haven't had any irritation from the product but I had been using 'the elephant stuff' with similar ingredients prior to this, so it could be my skin was used to it. Overall, I am EXTREMELY pleased with this purchase." —AudibleAddicted And SeoulCeuticals is a small biz! Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "This is just like the Milk Makeup Cooling Water Stick — but I like it better. It's less than half the price, the packaging is cuter, the smaller applicator makes it easy to get under my eyes — and it smells like clean water and rose petals. It's hydrating, cooling, and non-greasy. It makes you instantly look and feel more awake. Love it." —Janelle Patricia Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a collagen formula). Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. It has light to medium coverage. It lasts all day. The oils in my skin usually breakdown foundation but this one stays in place and after a little blotting looks good as new... I just recently purchased the Fenty Eaze Drop Blurring Skin Tint in 6 and like it, but I actually prefer the Wet N Wild Tinted Hydrator better. You can buy six of these for the same price as the Fenty. I'm so happy I tried this." —Nancy Get it from Amazon for $5.47+ (available in eight shades and also in packs of two). It's formulated with hyaluronic acid and squalene for a boost of hydration! Promising reviews: "This stuff is so legit I've gone through three bottles. Adds the perfect glow to your skin! Sometimes, I use it under foundation, and sometimes, I use it solo with a bit of concealer. I will never not repurchase it for the price and how beautifully it sits on the skin. This stuff is viral for a reason!!" —mapagill "If you like Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, this is leaps and bounds better! Just buy it. The coverage is better, [it] makes my skin have the most amazing natural glow! The colors run with a more warm/yellow undertone, which worked great for me! Spend a fraction of the price and just get it; you will be happy you did!" —Amazonreview Get it from Amazon for $11.20+ (available in 12 shades). Amazon Promising review: "Ok, so I absolutely LOVE this stuff! I tried it on a whim after hearing a few different people rave about it. I had tried a similar product from Rhode and was not really 'wowed' by it, but thought it was still a nice product. This milky toner, however, blew me away. I apply it after washing my face with my hands and gently pat it in, and it just leaves a moisturized, dewy finish. I also have recently started mixing it in with my foundation when I apply it to my makeup and it's been a game changer. Since it's winter and I live in the northeast, I have had issues with my foundation being really dry lately — this has solved it. It leaves a beautiful satin finish. For the price point, amount of product, and versatility, you just can't beat it. Will be repurchasing!" —talon12 Get it from Amazon for $14.99. Promising reviews: "I have the Dior lip oil, and I actually like this one better! It leaves my lips softer and leaves the perfect tint on my lips. Sometimes I combine with a lipstick for extra color." —Emily R. "I really like this and the applicator! It's so fun and cute. I like the texture and the feel of it on my lips. It feels thicker, and it doesn't come off too quickly. I got the color supermodel. It's not too pink like it looks and I wanted it to be natural, so it's perfect. Will be repurchasing." —Martha R. Get it from Amazon for $6.91+ (available in 14 shades). Promising review: "Okay so first nothing will make you 'poreless,' but this stuff is amazing. Will even out fine lines and help with super porous areas; my T-zone [has really visible] pores and this definitely gave me a boost in confidence. I would highly recommend. Especially to those not to familiar with makeup, this is a game changer. Honestly it works better than my $30 primer from Urban Decay and lasts all day. I am oily so I usually blot some powder on later in the day but if you have dry skin this could be the ultimate game changer!" —Olivia Get it from Amazon for $10. Promising review: "I have tried IGK, Living Proof, Not Your Mother's, Amika, and so many others but THIS LASTS THE LONGEST! I am impressed by this product. Don't listen to the haters because I have severely fine and oily hair and this product allows me to last for one week without washing and it gives me volume..." —473X Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in the original six shades and various pack sizes). Amazon Promising reviews: "Love this product. I always use it, and I am a sweaty person 😅 I sweat easily.. not even kidding. I compare it to the One Size and I have to say that I do like this one much better. It really doesn't budge." —Zully B "This works just as well as the One Size. I have very oily skin and need a high-quality setting spray, and this one works amazing! Skip the expensive one and try this!!" —Shopgirl Get it from Amazon for $10.98 (also available in a pack of two). Bek O'Connell / BuzzFeed This is designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b–4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING. I have been bleaching my hair for 12 years. My hair has never looked or felt better before using this. It is so soft and shiny... only using this once a week. It has worked better on my hair than Olaplex or other expensive treatments. I'll never use anything else!" —Craig Check out BuzzFeed's full review of the Elizavecca hair treatment for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.60. Amazon, Promising reviews: "This stuff literally saved my skin! I started using it daily. Especially after gym sessions. My skin started clearing up and I have used it every day and I have never looked back. This has become a staple in my skincare routine. I use it after toner and before serum in the morning and then I spray it after the gym. It's better than the Tower 28 one." —Shay G. "Does the EXACT same as Tower28 for a fraction of the price! I love it, my face feels refreshed. Highly recommend, no shade to Tower28, they are great, but this is cheaper and if you're on a budget, use this alternative! Great for after work, the gym, or existing in these hot summer months. If you have sensitive skin, it's gentle." —Paul R. Get it from Amazon for $17.46. It comes with a smoothing nozzle, styling nozzle, and diffuser nozzle. Promising reviews: "Great powerful hair dryer. Great price too. Have had Dysons in the past and nothing but trouble with them. This is far better and very affordable, and no problems with it. (Retired hairdresser)." —bamzee "Purchased this dryer to help dry my granddaughter's type 4C hair. Drys quickly and cuts down on her squirming. She hates having her hair done. Shortened the drying time significantly. Would recommend." —Jiggilypuff Get it from Amazon for $28.49+ (available in eight colors). Promising reviews: "This lip balm is as smooth as butta, and not to mention smells great. I apply it at night and wake up with soft, hydrated, plump lips. Bonus: if you apply hyaluronic acid on your lips beforehand — chef's kiss. As for the price, I wish it had way more product, but it is cheaper than the Laneige lip mask and way better, in my humble opinion." —María "This lip balm is a great alternative if you do not want to pay a ton of money for the Laneige and Summer Fridays lip balms. It is super moisturizing and left my lips super smooth and soft. One of the best e.l.f. products I have tried and it is a wonderful price. Even though it is pretty small, it lasts a good amount of time. I would definitely recommend." —Lance Z. Get it from Amazon for $4 (available in five styles). Promising reviews: "Love this! In my opinion, better than Laneige at a fraction of the price. A bit thicker, which I like. Even though it's a sleeping mask, I use it throughout the day to keep my lips moist and soft. Will keep ordering again and again." —Michaela "This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season, I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it's soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.90 (available in five scent combos). Amazon Promising reviews: "Love these better than my glow recipe! Better because it doesn't have the smell... Makes my skin feel amazing and so juicy! Great value for the money." —Tiffany T. "I've used Glow Recipe's Watermelon Dew Drops, and while I liked the product I wasn't too fond of the strong scent or the price point. The texture, finish, and feel of this product is pretty much identical, but without the fragrance and at a better value. Smooth, absorbs quickly, works well as a lightweight primer that doesnt pill with makeup, and subtly evens skin tone over time." —K.C. Get it from Amazon for $11.97. Promising reviews: "I was gifted the Hanacure masks and loved them, but they're just way too pricey. I heard SO many wonderful things about the Skin 1004 Zombie Mask... Let me tell you, this mask is just straight up magic. I didn't notice any changes to my skin immediately, but a few hours later when I looked in the mirror, I was shocked at how wonderful my skin looked. I've never noticed a difference like this. Hanacure who?!??... This Zombie mask is every bit as magical, with better results in my opinion... Bottom line, this is better than Hanacure, both price and results-wise." —Dana D. Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $19.43. Promising reviews: "I've tried just about every eyebrow gel on the market, from high-end to drugstore. This is not only [an alternative] for Benefit's brow gel and Glossier Boy Brow, it's better! So much better and way cheaper." —Amazon Customer "OK, I was skeptical as I love my ABH Brow Freeze. But a friend did my makeup and used it and I was really impressed. So, I got some and played with it on my own. It is so much smoother to glide through my brows. I work it through back and front, then again with a clean spoolie. I LOVE the results. It also washes out really well (even if I don't use a makeup wipe)." —Miss Jordan Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in five shades). Amazon, New to cleansing balms? Start by warming the product up with your dry fingertips, massage in circular motions on dry skin, then rinse with lukewarm water. If using as part of a double cleansing routine, follow this up with a water-based facial cleanser. Promising review: "I've loved the Farmacy Green Clean for many years, but at $30+ for a jar that lasts 1–2 months max, it was a pricey product to buy on a regular basis. I wanted something just as good at a lower price, and I FOUND IT! This cleanser absolutely melts away makeup and deep cleans the skin without any drying or eye irritation! It smells great, and a little goes a loooonng way — I'm in love!" —Amazon Customer Juno & Co. is a small business specializing in personal care and skincare products. Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
