Primark confirms it has discontinued ‘best foundation' that's a dupe for big designer brand but £30 cheaper
MAKEUP enthusiasts have been left devastated after Primark discontinued a much-loved foundation. The Double Coverage Matte Foundation was a popular dupe for the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - at just a fraction of the price. The Primark foundation cost just £5 compared to Estee Lauder's £39.50 cult staple, leaving customers devastated about the news of its discontinuation. Last month customers began to notice that their favourite foundation was difficult to find in store. One customer tweeted: "@Primark have you discontinued your double coverage matte foundation?? I can't find it in store." They even tried some of the brand's other foundations, but they felt it didn't compare to the Double Coverage version. The brand has now confirmed that the product has been discontinued. A Primark spokesperson said: "We're always looking at new ways to innovate our ranges for our customers to enjoy even more ways to look and feel good. "While this particular product has been discontinued, we have an extensive range of high quality products to choose from, including our brand-new Pro Luminous Filter Foundation." Makeup communities on Reddit were upset about the news. One post reads: "Help!! Awhile back I had decided to give the Primark brand My Perfect Colour Double Matte foundation a try since it was a dupe for the Estée Lauder double wear and I LOVED it, even more than the Estee lol. But now it seems it's totally discontinued??" They added: "Anybody know any comparable formulas? So sad I just loveddd this foundation." I tried the viral Primark foundation and wasn't expecting the result - my skin has never looked like this before Replies to the post expressed their frustration at the product being discontinued, with one user writing: "Never fall in love with a Primark makeup anything, they fast fashion those too." The product became popular in 2022 after a shopper noticed how similar the formula was to the luxury Estee Lauder foundation. Shoppers praised the long-wear coverage that made their skin "feel nice and smooth without being drying," as well as being full coverage enough to wear without concealer. One reviewer wrote: "I am honestly blown away by how good this is, it's easily the best foundation I've ever used." The only complaint the reviewer noted was the lack of a pump which made it slightly more difficult to apply, but the lightweight, full-coverage formula more than made up for it. Instead, Primark have suggested customers try other products in their range, like the Pro Luminous Filter Foundation. The product is described as a "primer-foundation hybrid with glow-boosting actives and a luminous finish." It contains hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and vitamin C which helps to "hydrate and brighten while you wear it." Reviewers have compared the product to the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter - except the Primark version is £6 compared to £39 for the luxury version. Shoppers loved the healthy glow the product gave, as well as the bargain price tag. Primark offers an extensive range of well-loved beauty products in store. 3

Ty Eschenbaum: how cancer and loss now helps others
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) —For many people, when they run into adversity or trying times, it's easy to give up and focus only on themselves. But one man that has taken his trials, and in turn, benefited others. We've brought you the story of Ty Eschenbaum for years, starting when he had cancer in high school. Early childhood center coming to Flandreau 'Diagnosed when I was 15 with leukemia and kind of a unique diagnosis in that I didn't have any classic symptoms. I, you know, ran region track meet like, three weeks before I ran one of my best quarter times,' Ty Eschenbaum said. Like many people, that diagnosis changed his life. 'I went from, you know, lifting weights and playing sports and being 155 pounds down to at one point I was 105 pounds, couldn't walk, couldn't even stand, couldn't even hold my own weight,' Eschenbaum said. It was during that bout with cancer, that Eschenbaum was granted a Make-a-Wish. 'Having my whole family involved was important to me. So I chose Disney World. So pretty original when it comes to Make-A-Wish, but it was awesome,' Eschenbaum said. At that point in his life, he knew he wanted to do what he could for other children with cancer. 'There's a lot of families that we got to know and kids that I got to know that didn't make it. And I just felt strongly that I'm still here, and I'm supposed to do something with this,' Eschenbaum said. In 2011, Eschenbaum officially started his foundation, when he wrote a check for $250. From there, it has only grown. 'We have three pillars of the foundation. So originally, we've always funded youth cancer survivors, in the form of scholarships in the state of South Dakota. I think we're the only entity that specifically does that in our state. And then, when I lost a younger brother, two and a half years ago, that's a pillar with our missionary ministry focus. And, five years ago, when I lost my girlfriend, that was the second pillar, the Make-A-Wish pillar,' Eschenbaum said. Over the years, KELOLAND News has been there for some of Eschenbaum's donations to Make-A-Wish kids. His foundation has donated $315,000 to Make-A-Wish. To help Eschenbaum and his foundation with its mission, a fishing and golf tournament is being held up near Lake Poinsett. Jake Schoenbeck has attended The Summer Classic, and his employer Plains Commerce Bank is this year's presenting sponsor. He participates in the golf part of the tournament. He says that it's a little different from other golf tournaments. 'There's also like a DJ on one hole and he's like, playing music with there's a bar there that will drive around like jello shots and stuff like that. There's games and stuff,' Jake Schoenbeck said. 'It starts off with a lot of excitement on Friday morning because the golfers are running around and they're trying to get warmed up and then, you know, the entertainment of just watching the teams take off and get moving in and shaking and just the organization of the whole event is just fun to watch,' Lynn Jurrens said. The fishing aspect of the tournament is something that also has a high appeal. Lynn Jurrens has attended the Summer Classic since it started. 'The reason there's so many fishing teams that show up is because you can have, multiple people in the boat if you want to take your family, if you want to take your friends, if you want to take a kid fishing for the day, it all works out just really, really cool,' Jurrens said. But what makes all the difference to the attendees, is what their money is going towards. 'I'm going to be out golfing almost every weekend anyway. So when you get to do it for an event like that, to kind of just makes it a little more special. You're more willing to, you know, throw money at things, whether it's some stupid game you're going to play and try to get another shot in the hole, or you're chipping into this little basket to try to get a closer drive,' Schoenbeck said. 'People are just excited. They want to be a part of it. They want to raise money, and they want to raise money because they feel that it's being used wisely,' Jurrens said. And watching Eschenbaum at the helm of the charge is something that sticks out. 'Losing his fiance, losing his brother, him having cancer, all these things and still being such a powerful voice and being everywhere in the community. I feel like every time I'm out at a big event, Ty's there,' Schoenbeck said. 'That character, the resilience to overcome, those are attractive traits in people. And, they're special people to be around. And we, as the lucky people that get to be around him, can build off that. That's what's special about Ty,' Jurrens said. The Summer Classic takes place on June 6th and 7th, but space is limited. Click here for more information about The Summer Classic. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

A Museum of Migration Celebrates People on the Move
More than a century ago, millions of people trying to escape poverty, persecution or war in Europe boarded ships in the harbor of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, for a trans-Atlantic journey to a new life. Today, people can enter a former warehouse there, climb a winding staircase and look out from a cantilevered viewing deck onto the spot where the ships carrying those people once set sail. This is Fenix, an art museum dedicated to the theme of migration that opens to the public on Friday. A once-derelict pier stockroom has been transformed into an expansive white-box art space and is crowned with a polished steel double-helix swirl that adds a distinctive architectural signature to Rotterdam's skyline. 'It's all about movement,' said Wim Pijbes, the chairman of the foundation that runs the new museum. 'It's not genealogical, it's not art historical, it's not documentary. It's a mix of objects: high art, low art, personal objects, video, film, photography, ceramics. It's all there, like a symphony.' Unlike other migration museums in New York, London or Paris, which typically narrate specific histories of immigrants and refugees, Fenix takes a different, more wide-ranging, approach. Visitors first encounter two small exhibitions downstairs — one showcasing photojournalistic images and the other filled with thousands of battered suitcases — that underscore the idea that migration is an integral part of a universal human experience. The main exhibition, 'All Directions,' installed in a 75,000-square-foot concrete and glass hall upstairs, displays fine art that either directly or obliquely makes reference to that experience. Pop Art by the American artist Red Grooms and a 2019 sculpture called 'Space Refugee' by Omar Imam are on view, as well as paintings by the itinerant 16th-century artist Hans Holbein the Younger and the Dutch abstract artist Willem de Kooning, who immigrated to the United States from Rotterdam. Interspersed among these are artifacts and objects d'art including a stateless person's document and a large slab of the Berlin Wall, a barrier to movement for Germans during the Cold War. Fenix's architect, Ma Yansong, from the Beijing-based firm MAD, said he imagined the dual spiral staircase at the center of the building — with steel walls and a slatted wood floor like on a ship — as a metaphor for the migrant experience. 'My understanding of migration is like a journey, but it's not linear,' he said in an interview. 'There's a process of choice, so it's two staircases, not just one.' Pijbes began working on the migration museum in 2018, and it is opening at a moment when immigration continues to be a burning global issue. In the United States, President Trump has promised to mount the largest deportation operation in American history, while in the Netherlands, the government recently introduced what it described as the 'strictest asylum policy in the Netherlands' history.' Fenix's founders, however, say they are not interested in engaging in political debates at the museum, because they see migration as a universal fact of life. 'Fenix is not a museum about politics,' Pijbes said. 'The story we tell is that migration has been an experience of mankind since the beginning.' 'Whether it was Huguenots, Jews, Albanians or Protestants,' Pijbes added, 'people have always been on the move, for bad reasons — because of war or oppression — but also for love, or in search of a better future, or just out of curiosity, to try something new.' Anne Kremers, the museum's director, echoed that sentiment. 'In Fenix, we will show, not tell,' she said. 'We will ask a lot of questions to our visitors, and we want them to think — and we really want to welcome everyone — so it doesn't matter what your political point of view is.' One of the museum's installations, 'The Family of Migrants,' features hundreds of photographs of migrants organized into three sections: departures, journeys and arrivals. Among them are Alfred Stieglitz's 1907 image of passengers on a ship from the United States to Europe, and John Moore's 2018 color photo of a toddler from Honduras who cried beside her mother as they were detained by border guards in Texas. The installation, and accompanying book with more photographs, was inspired by Edward Steichen's famous 1955 photo book, 'The Family of Man,' Kremers said, which also sought to universalize human experiences across the globe through photography. Pijbes, a former director of the Rijksmuseum, said he conceived of Fenix in 2017 as a Dutch sister site to the Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration in New York when he was hired by the Rotterdam-based art foundation Droom en Daad (Dream and Do) to develop a cultural center for the city. Since then, the foundation has purchased more than 300 artworks for the museum's permanent collection. About 150 are on display, Kremers said, adding that those would be rotated with others from the collection. 'We're still buying,' Pijbes said, although he and Kremers both declined to comment on Fenix's total cost. The artworks are all of museum caliber and include pieces by the British artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen, the Dutch photographer Rineke Dijkstra and the Thai artist Jakkai Siributr. Red Grooms' 1995 soft sculpture, 'The Bus,' a fabric replica of a New York M5 bus, which travels the length of Manhattan from West 31st Street to Washington Heights, takes pride of place in the central exhibition hall. Pijbes said the work was symbolic of the positive results of successful migration. 'This bus is full of New Yorkers and when you enter, you can see the melting pot, the Big Apple, this whole mélange of people that makes New York New York.' For him, migration is not a problem to be solved, but a fascinating topic that has inspired many artists. 'This museum is also about hope,' Pijbes said, 'because all refugees and migrants have one thing in common, and that's the hope for a better future.'

Before Qatar plane controversy, Trump derided foreign gifts — and Qatar
Stop me if you've heard this before: An uber-wealthy, oil-rich Middle Eastern country spends many millions of dollars on gifts that make their way to a foundation controlled by a prominent American politician. In 2016, Donald Trump pitched this as an inherently corrupt bargain — one that disqualified someone from serving as president. (In that case, for Hillary Clinton.)
