This $5 Lash-Thickening Mascara Is a ‘Hidden Gem,' According to Over 200K Amazon Shoppers
Not all of us are blessed with eyelashes that look like a set of falsies, but here's some good news: You can still achieve the same look without the genes. That's the beauty of mascara. While there is a hierarchy when it comes to products (let's be honest, some are better than others), we found a holy grail formula that will give you longer, fuller lashes every time. The best part? It's only $5!
Essence's Lash Princess Mascara gives the effect of false eyelashes without the actual false eyelashes — a major time-saver in your makeup routine. Designed to define, extend and separate, this pick makes it so you don't have to deal with annoying clumps later on.

The buildable formula is a real winner when it comes to ingredients — it's alcohol-, oil-, fragrance-, cruelty- and paraben-free, so users don't have to worry about irritants or ethical issues. And while the jet black color is key to making your lashes stand out, the wand is beneficial as well. The conic shape ensures it's able to hit each lash, while a fiber brush helps with precise application, giving you volume, definition and curl without globs of extra product.
Unlike other mascaras on the market, there's no need to worry about flaking or fading. This Lash Princess pick is designed to last all day, so you can swipe it on in the morning before work and still look just as fresh for happy hour drinks or an evening dinner.
Over 200,000 shoppers have left five-star ratings for the mascara on Amazon, alongside positive reviews. One fan wrote that the product 'did not disappoint' and gives them "great length and volume' with a 'nice, thin consistency.' Another called it a 'game-changer' and added that it creates a 'dramatic look with just a single coat.'
One shopper even chimed in to say that while they're 'obsessed' with the mascara, it's especially great 'when you use the primer with it.' Since it stays put, they no longer deal with dreaded 'raccoon eyes," making this $5 purchase well worth it. A few other fans labeled the product as a 'hidden gem" and the 'holy grail of mascaras."
Head over to Amazon to snag this tried-and-true pick, ASAP. And should you be curious, scoop up the shopper-loved primer for an additional $5, too!

Katie Gaudreau, Sister of Johnny and Matthew, Shares Engagement Photos Ahead of Summer Wedding
Katie Gaudreau, the younger sister of the late Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau, is a glowing bride-to-be as she prepares to walk down the aisle next month. In exclusive photos shared with Us Weekly, Katie, 26, and her fiancé, Devin Joyce, are all smiles ahead of their July 11 wedding in Philadelphia. Katie and Devin were forced to reschedule the original date of August 2024 after Johnny, 31, and Matthew, 29, were struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver while riding their bicycles the night before the wedding. Johnny and Matthew won't be far from their sister on her big day, which is being planned by Kyle Michelle Weddings. In September 2024, Katie revealed she had etched 'J+M' into her silver wedding band, which is front and center in some of the engagement photos. Katie Gaudreau Posts Childhood Photos With Johnny, Matthew, Sister Kristen: 'Forever Us Four' 'Forever with me now,' Katie wrote via her Instagram Story at the time. Aimee Beam Brides styled Katie's hair for the photoshoot, and Kristyn Kennedy did her makeup. Afrik Armando took the pictures. Johnny and Matthew were also survived by their parents, Guy and Jane, and their older sister Kristen. Johnny was married to his wife, Meredith, and the couple shared three children: daughter Noa, 2, and sons Johnny, 15 months, and Carter, who was born in April, seven months after Johnny's death. Matthew was married to his wife, Madeline, who gave birth to the couple's first baby, son Tripp, in December 2024, four months after Matthew's death. Devin and Katie celebrated their ninth anniversary of dating in March, which Katie marked with a post via social media. 'I couldn't be more grateful to have you by my side,' she wrote. 'This past year has tested us in ways we never could have imagined, but our love has always come out stronger. You've shown up in ways that mean more than I can put into words, and I know I wouldn't have gotten through it without you.' Katie continued, 'Since high school I've been waiting for the day I get to call you my husband….even though I call you my husband now I can't wait for July 11th to officially be your wife. No matter what life throws our way, I'll always be up for singing off-key and dancing terribly with you — whether it's in a bar or our little kitchen — forever and more.' Shortly after Johnny and Matthew were killed, Katie said her brothers were 'so excited for us to get married.' Katie Gaudreau Shows Off Save the Date — and Huge Engagement Ring — For Rescheduled Wedding 'When the day comes, they are going to be dancing and celebrating more than anyone,' she shared via her Instagram Story. Last month, Katie said she was 'feeling every emotion possible' at a meeting to discuss final details about the wedding. 'Sadness, exhaustion, nervousness, guilt, stress, love, and happiness,' she shared via Instagram. 'For months they have been working so hard behind the scenes making sure everything is running smoothly and that my family and I don't have to worry about any of the big decisions.' Katie added, 'I am so incredibly lucky to have you all in my corner and helping me through this process. I can't wait for you to all see the incredible job they have done to help make this day special.'

‘Sinners' bonus feature, ‘Good Night' live, Sabrina's song of the summer, ‘Fantastic Four' theme, and what to stream this weekend
Welcome to , your VIP guide to the best of pop culture for the weekend ahead, curated by the Gold Derby team of experts. (June 6-June 8) , Ryan Coogler's cinema-saving horror epic, is now available to rent or buy on VOD platforms like Amazon. Michael B. Jordan stars as Smoke and Stack, identical twin charming criminals who open up a juke joint in 1930s Mississippi. Everything is going great, until the vampires show up. It's a heady mix of horror, crime, comedy, drama, sex, blues music, Black ownership, family, and a bunch of other genres and themes that makes for the year's most exciting and important movie. Check out one of the bonus features, titled "Thicker Than Blood" and available digitally and on the upcoming 4K disc release, showing how Jordan got into character(s): More from GoldDerby 'Sinners' bonus feature: See how the gnarly makeup effects came to life Danya Taymor could make Tony Awards history with a win for 'John Proctor Is the Villain' How 'Severance' creates Lumon's 'manufactured perfection' through VFX After more than two years, we're finally heading back to Wellsbury. And you don't want to miss it. The third season of Netflix's beloved dramedy Ginny & Georgia (now streaming) picks up in the aftermath of the events of the shocking Season 2 finale, which saw Georgia (Brianne Howey) arrested for murder during her wedding to Paul (Scott Porter), the affable town mayor. So, how does a show — and a family — come back from that? By sticking together, obviously. In Season 3, with Georgia under house arrest and awaiting trial, Ginny (Antonia Gentry) finds herself forced to set aside the central duo's differences and fight for her family on multiple fronts, including waging battles against those she never expected. These 10 episodes are a turning point, not just for the show, but for the two dynamic women at its center as well. So, with this compelling new chapter, Ginny & Georgia is the awards contender to watch this weekend. However, if complicated mother-daughter relationships aren't up your alley, other contenders include: Ocean With David Attenborough: Save the cheerleader Save the ocean, save the world. That's the sentiment behind National Geographic's new feature-length special, which sees multi-time Emmy winner and world renowned naturalist David Attenborough take viewers beneath the waves to explore our planet's diverse, yet interconnected, marine ecosystems. As has become the norm for nature documentaries over the last decade (or more), Ocean focuses heavily on the threats that the deep blue sea faces due to humanity's hostile influence, but it also highlights inspirational stories that reveal all hope may not be lost, if we take action now. The documentary airs Saturday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Nat Geo. It streams the next day on Hulu and Disney+. Good Night, and Good Luck: It's not often we get to experience television history in this day and age, but this weekend marks the first time a Broadway production will be broadcast live on television. The Tony-nominated play starring George Clooney, which was adapted from the 2005 Oscar-nominated film written by Clooney and Grant Heslov, will air its penultimate performance. The play tells the story of veteran journalist Edward R. Murrow taking on Sen. Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare of the 1950s. The performance airs Saturday at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on CNN. It will stream on CNN's website, as well as Max. The 78th Annual Tony Awards: If you need more theater in your life after watching Clooney do his thing (who doesn't?), then you're in luck! The Tony Awards — arguably the best of the major awards shows thanks to the rousing live performances that give it non-stop energy — will honor the best of the stage. Cynthia Erivo hosts the spectacle, which features performances by the casts of Gypsy, Sunset Boulevard, Just in Time, Death Becomes Her, and more. As a bonus, the original cast of Hamilton is reuniting to celebrate the show's 10th anniversary (doesn't it feel much longer?). The telecast airs Sunday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on CBS. It will stream on Paramount+. We're not cooking the books — our top pick for a movie to stream this weekend is . Ben Affleck reprises his role as Christian Wolff, an autistic man who's a genius with numbers and also really good with guns. He works as an accountant for criminal organizations while also serving as an informant for the Treasury's financial crimes division. In The Accountant 2, Affleck is joined by Jon Bernthal as Christian's soldier-for-hire brother Braxton, who had a small role in the first film but gets bumped up to basically co-lead here. When Christian needs help with a job, he calls on his estranged brother, and they reconnect as they go on a gun-toting road trip together. It's literally Rain Man as an action thriller. It's funnier than the original, and Affleck and Bernthal are very entertaining together. After a modest theatrical run, it's now streaming on Prime Video, which makes sense; it's very much in the same vein as the Road House remake, one of the streaming service's biggest original hits. If you're math-phobic, here are some other movies to stream or watch on-demand this weekend: : Director Dan Trachtenberg's quest to revitalize the Predator franchise continues with this animated feature that's now streaming on Hulu. The bloody action flick is something of an anthology movie, as warriors from various time periods — a Viking, a ninja in feudal Japan, and a World War II pilot — go up against a Predator alien who sees them as a challenge. It's Trachtenberg's second released Predator movie, after 2022's cult favorite Prey, and will be followed by live-action thriller Predator: Badlands later this year. : Robert De Niro and Robert De Niro star in this Mafia drama. De Niro plays dual roles as 1950s mobsters Vito Genovese and Frank Costello as they fight for control of the Luciano family. It tells famous tales of Mafia history in a way you've seen many times before, but De Niro, screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi (Goodfellas), and director Barry Sonnenfeld (Bugsy) know what they're doing. There are three actors from The Sopranos in the supporting cast — Kathrine Narducci, Michael Rispoli, and Matt Servitto — if that's something you take into account in deciding whether to watch a mob movie. The Alto Knights flopped in theaters but is looking to find a second life on Max. : Writer-director-producer Tyler Perry is back with a new Netflix drama. Taraji P. Henson stars as Janiyah, a woman at the end of her rope. She's a single mother having an exceptionally bad day. She gets evicted from her apartment, robbed, and disrespected everywhere she goes. She just needs to deposit her check at the bank so she can pay for her daughter's medicine, and when even that goes wrong, she ends up a suspect in a crime she didn't mean to commit, and it turns into a hostage situation. It's a film that empathizes with everyone who is just a few bad breaks away from calamity. The supporting cast includes Sherri Shepherd, Teyana Taylor, and Sinbad. A sure sign that the weather's changing is the arrival of fresh singles aiming to be the season-defining hit. And previous title-holder Sabrina Carpenter is throwing her hat back into the ring with "Manchild," a country-influenced ode to the dim men in her life with a little disco thrown into the mix. The video accompanying the release feels like a deliciously overstuffed trailer for an off-the-wall '70s road movie. Ahead of the release of "First Steps" on July 25, Marvel Studios have debuted composer Michael Giacchino's full main theme for the Fantastic Four. Sonically, the track is a mix of bright mid-century retro-futurism and some more spacey synth. Disney is also releasing the theme on a "Galactic Blue" 7-inch LP, which is available for pre-order here. Get your first listen below. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Talking Heads' first live performance, director Mike Mills (21st Century Women) has created the first music video for "Psycho Killer," off the band's debut studio album, Talking Heads: 77. Four-time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan stars in the video as a person slowly unraveling over the course of her daily routine.
