1. Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm turns removing makeup into a luxurious bedtime ritual thanks to a sorbet-like texture rich in seaberry oil.

Promising review:"This has been a staple in my skincare routine for seven years now. It spreads so well and really gets the gunk out. I recommend this product to everyone who is looking for an oil-based cleanser!!!!" — Megan
2. Tony Moly Plump-kin Retinol Eye Cream is for folks with a heart that pitter-patters at the mere mention of fall, no matter what season it is. Delicious pumpkin packaging aside, this lightweight formula uses retinol, pumpkin, and ginger extract to hydrate and de-puff your peepers.
Soko Glam
Promising review:"Dude. One of the best eye creams I've ever used, and I've used a lot of high-end ones, like La Mer, and this one even tops them. I'm so pleasantly surprised because the price point is good, and the packaging feels kinda cheap, but the product is SO SO GOOD. I hope they never stop selling this!!" — Connie
3. NeoGen Bio-Peel Gauze Peeling Wine uses red ~vino~ extracts in single-use exfoliating pads because dead skin and week-long pimples that refuse to evacuate the premises = the worst. These pads use a potent lactic acid capable of reaching deep into your pores for built-up oil and gunk (aka scream so long and farewell to the chin zit that will have no choice but to disappear).
Soko Glam

Promising review:"After seeing this mask everywhere, I had to try it for myself. I'll start by saying I don't expect miracles from skincare, BUT this product genuinely impressed me. Beyond leaving my skin hydrated and supple, it gave me a noticeable glow. I don't have major wrinkles, but gravity is doing its thing — so I was thrilled to see a reduction in puffiness and fine lines after removing the mask." — Veronica G.

7. Cosrx Snail Mucin 92% Repair Cream has a standout ingredient: snail mucin. And yes, you did read that right. A dime-size amount of this gel moisturizer leaves skin hydrated and dewy while it absorbs quickly, ensuring it doesn't pill under a full face of makeup.
Soko Glam

Soko Glam
Promising review:"I have been using the cleansing stick for years now as my go-to cleaner. It cleans while being mild on my sensitive skin, and it has a nice scent and texture. The bonus (and first reason I bought it) is that it doesn't count as a liquid when I go through security at airports." — Janet K.
12. Neogen Day-Light Protection Airy Sunscreen that bids adieu to greasy T-zones of sunscreens past with a matte finish that *stays* matte all. day. long. If you've got oily and acne-prone skin, rest assured this won't aggravate breakouts and will even calm irritation thanks to aloe, avocado, acai, and hibiscus.
Soko Glam

Soko Glam
Promising review:"Deeply moisturizing and makes my under-eye area feel smooth. On my first try, my skin was still a little bit damp, so the patches started to slide down my face. Once I gently patted the area dry, the patches had no problem staying on." — Syndey
20. Etude SoonJung pH 5.5 Relief Toner has a water-like consistency that soaks into your complexion for a refreshing, cooling experience that helps retain moisture.

22. Cosrx Low pH Good Night Soft Peeling Gel is, in a phrase, gentle-yet-effective. Manual exfoliators tend to be abrasive for sensitive skin types, but not this under-$20 superstar — hyaluronic acid simply leaves hydration (and baby-soft smoothness) in its wake.

23. Hanskin Vitamin C Glow Mask will have you running to the chapel and proclaiming "I dew" for its brightening capabilities alone.

Price: $26
27.

Superstar is an understatement.
Soko Glam
Promising review:"I loved this way more than I expected! Almost right away, I felt like my skin was looking more refreshed! It's on my must-have list now." — Molly

28 Co-Stars Who Hated Each Other In Real Life
Workplace tension is something most of us have dealt with. Honestly, I can't think of a single job I've had —except BuzzFeed— where there wasn't at least one person I absolutely couldn't stand. Maybe that says more about me than anything else, but the truth is, we're often forced to work alongside people we don't get along with. And that can be tough—sometimes even anxiety-inducing. At the end of the day, it's all about the check, so it's imperative that we don't get caught up in what we want but rather, what we need collectively. For many thespians in Hollywood, this type of friction can lead to some significant tension that manages to escape the workplace. It's not hard to think about Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively, who are currently embroiled in litigation surrounding declarations of sexual harassment and defamation, among other claims. This is perhaps an extreme example, but historically, there have been many moments where co-stars, despite how much chemistry they share on screen, despise each other's guts. Most times, we only find out about it after the fact. Below are 14 instances where Hollywood co-stars who played lovers or friends on-screen disliked each other when the cameras went off. Tension rose on the set of Charlie's Angels between Bill Murray and Lucy Liu, according to an interview Liu gave to the Los Angeles Times. Liu explained that, after reworking a scene with her co-stars at a time when Murray wasn't on set, he returned and apparently took out some of his aggression toward her. "As we're doing the scene, Bill starts to sort of hurl insults, and I won't get into the specifics, but it kept going on and on," she said. "I was, like, 'Wow, he seems like he's looking straight at me.' I couldn't believe that [the comments] could be towards me, because what do I have to do with anything majorly important at that time? I literally do the look around my shoulder thing, like, who is he talking to behind me? I say, 'I'm so sorry. Are you talking to me?' And clearly, he was, because then it started to become a one-on-one communication."Despite having "the least amount of privilege in terms of creatively participating," Liu said she stood her ground against Murray. The box office success of Magic Mike aside, Channing Tatum and Alex Pettyfer found themselves butting heads off-set, which ultimately led to Pettyfer's non-appearance in Magic Mike XXL. Perhaps one of the most interesting conflicts on a movie set belongs to Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling. In a VH1 interview, The Notebook director Nick Cassavetes revealed in 2014 that the two had extreme tension with one another when they started filming the 2004 movie. "Ryan came to me, and there's 150 people standing in this big scene, and he says, 'Nick come here.' He's doing a scene with Rachel, and he says, 'Would you take her out of here and bring in another actress to read off-camera with me?'' Cassavetes recalled. ''I said, 'What?' He says, 'I can't. I can't do it with her. I'm just not getting anything from this.'' Despite this, the two ended up developing a strong chemistry with each other and dated from 2005-2007. Julia Roberts' feud with Nick Nolte on the set of I Love Trouble seemingly impacted how the film was received by critics. According to an interview she gave the New York Times in the 90s, she revealed how the two had shared blame for some of their on-set troubles. "From the moment I met him we sort of gave each other a hard time, and naturally we get on each other's nerves,' Roberts revealed after she was asked about the reputation Nolte developed for being crude on set. '[While he can be] completely charming and very nice, he's also completely disgusting. He's going to hate me for saying this, but he seems to go out of his way to repel people. He's a kick." During a 2022 interview, Nolte acknowledged his own shortcomings in their reaction. "I mean, it was absurd what we went through. It was partly my fault and a little bit of hers. Julia got married at the beginning of that film, and it was one of those things where I just approached it all wrong.' Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze's chemistry was unmatched in Dirty Dancing. However, their previous encounters on the set of Red Dawn created friction that extended to their on-set attitudes with each other. Grey explained that Swayze often pulled juvenile pranks that rubbed her the wrong way, though she revealed he later tearfully apologized. Then, when they filmed Dirty Dancing, Swayze became frustrated with what he deemed a lack of professionalism, which actually helped make the movie what it was. "When we're doing those dance sequences, and everything, and she's crying, and she's giggling, those moments really work because they're real. They just took pieces of Patrick and Jennifer, working together as attempting to be a dance team, and my frustration. My real frustration. I'm trying to keep this girl serious. I'm trying to keep her from crying, trying to keep her focused, to get past her fear and her ego," he said. However, it seems as though the two ultimately shared an appreciation for one another, their skills, and what they brought to the table. It Ends With Us is probably the best example of on-set feuds between two on-screen lovers. Blake Lively filed a lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, the film's director and her co-star, alleging sexual harassment and a retaliatory smear campaign during production. In response, Baldoni countersued and denied the allegations. His countersuit targeted Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds, and her publicist for $400M for defamation, civil extortion, and attempting to take over the film's creative direction, per CBS. On-screen besties Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall apparently weren't quite close on the set of Sex And The City. Though there were reports that the two had their issues, Cattrall made her feelings about Parker clear after the latter expressed condolences for the loss of the former's brother. "I don't need your love and support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker," she wrote on Instagram. "My Mom asked me today 'When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?' Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven't already) You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona," she added in the post. Tyrese Gibson, while an eccentric in his own right, has expressed immense disdain for James Franco in the past (although it feels like more of a collective feeling these days). On the set of Annapolis, there was a lot of tension, largely because of Franco's acting methods during the fight scenes, which apparently resulted in actual physical contact. 'I never want to work with him again, and I'm sure he feels the same way. It felt very personal. It was f**ked-up," Gibson stated. Meanwhile, Franco's explained that he's tried to bury the hatchet, though acknowledged that he probably wasn't the easiest to work with either. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and his feud with Vin Diesel have become part of the Fast & Furious franchise lore. It began when Diesel talked about the "tough love" he showed Johnson in an attempt to improve his acting chops, leading to on-set tension. Johnson also responded on Instagram, calling his co-star "chicken sh*t" and "candy a**." However, the two have seemingly ended their beef as Diesel shared a photo of the two on Instagram with the caption reading, "All love... Always..." Despite co-starring together on one of the most celebrated series on television, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson had a touch of tension on the set of The X-Files. Though it was primarily rumors that the two had issues with each other, they've both separately acknowledged a "strained" relationship, largely due to lengthy work hours. 'I mean, yes, there were definitely periods when we hated each other," she told the Guardian when asked about rumors of tension on set. 'Hate is too strong a word. We didn't talk for long periods of time. It was intense, and we were both pains in the arse for the other at various times.' She noted that the two have a much healthier relationship these days. "But we are closer today than we ever have been." Outside of Chris Rock, there are very few people that Will Smith has engaged in public feuds with. However, when it came to Janet Hubert, who played the original Aunt Viv in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, the on-set tension led to her being replaced entirely. During the 2020 Fresh Prince reunion, Smith and Hubert hashed out their differences with Will admitting that he made the set difficult for Janet. "You took all that away from me with your words," Hubert told Smith. "Words can kill. I lost everything. Reputation. Everything, everything. I understand you were able to move forward. You know those words — calling a Black woman 'difficult' in Hollywood is the kiss of death. It's hard enough being a dark-skinned Black woman in this business. I felt it was necessary for us to finally move forward. And I'm sorry I have blasted you to pieces." Hollywood harbors plenty of creeps that are only now getting exposed. But in the case of Marlon Brando, who is still considered one of the greatest actors of all time, his on-set behavior earned him a horrible reputation, especially due to the fallouts with close collaborators, acquaintances, and co-stars. Sophie Loren revealed in her 1963 memoir how inappropriate Brando was on the set of A Countess from Hong Kong. "All of a sudden, he put his hands on me. I turned in all tranquillity and blew in his face, like a cat stroked the wrong way and said, 'Don't you ever dare to do that again. Never again!'' she said. "As I pulverised him with my eyes he seemed small, defenceless, almost a victim of his own notoriety. He never did it again, but it was very difficult working with him after that.' Issues between William Shatner and George Takei began bubbling in the public eye after Takei revealed just how difficult Shatner was to work with. "It's difficult working with someone who is not a team player. The rest of the cast all understand what makes a scene work—it's everybody contributing to it,' Takei said about Shatner in 2015. 'But Bill is a wonderful actor, and he knows it, and he likes to have the camera on him all the time.' Years later, Shatner responded. "George has never stopped blackening my name. These people are bitter and embittered. I have run out of patience with them. Why give credence to people consumed by envy and hate?" he said. The feud between Sacha Baron Cohen and Rebel Wilson began on the set of The Brothers Grimsby, where Wilson alleged that Cohen asked her to engage in unscripted, lewd acts for the film. Before she released her memoir, Rebel Rising, which included a chapter dedicated to the "a*sholes" she worked with in Hollywood, specifically Cohen, who allegedly got a team of lawyers and PR crisis managers to suppress her memoir. Cohen's rep offered The Independent a statement regarding the claims. 'While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby," it read.

People Are Sharing The Worst Date They've Ever Had The Misfortune Of Going On, And I Think They Should Be Entitled To Financial Compensation
If you've ever been on a truly bad date – one that made you swear off love for good – you're in the right place. Recently, people from the BuzzFeed Community shared stories of the worst dates they've ever been on, and well, it might make you feel less alone. From gross to creepy to downright bizarre, here are 18 of the most shocking stories: 1."First date with a guy, he offered to cook me dinner. It seemed a little strange, but also romantic, so I accepted. We went shopping for ingredients together, then to his place." "He shared the house with two other roommates, so I felt safer knowing we wouldn't be alone. He made our meal, then brought it into the bedroom so that we could watch a movie together. I insisted he leave the door open, just in case. Everything seemed fine until he got up after our dinner and closed the door. I didn't even have time to panic before he turned around, pants down, flaccid *member* hanging there, and said, 'put your mouth on it.' I couldn't help it, with his little peen just flopping atop his balls, I burst out laughing and ran out of the room. He chased me all the way to my car, with his thing out, begging me to come back, but I was both terrified and mortified; there was no way I was going back! I took off like a bat out of hell, and he's been known as 'hot dog' to me and my friends ever since!" –cupcakekrystle 2."Diarrhea, mine. I think that's enough explanation." –hbarney 3."When I was about 24, I met up to hang out with this guy for our first date. I very quickly realized the friendly older couple sitting next to us were his PARENTS." "He had told them where he was going and either invited them, or they just decided to tag along. I never got a straight answer on that. And to make matters even worse the uncomfortable date ended when his parents pulled up in front of where we were chatting in the parking lot, and he left with them. First and only date, for the record. 😂" –KJ 4."The date actually started well. He was cute, and the conversation was going well. A flying bug landed on his arm, and he slapped it…then proceeded to literally rub the mangled bug pieces into his arm instead of flicking it off!! It was so gross, and I have never gotten the ick so fast. I made an excuse to leave early because I couldn't look at him the same after that." –angrycrocodile764 5."Where to begin? This guy had watched too many pick-up videos, and no doubt, he's currently an Andrew Tate fanboy. Silly on my part to have a date in a park during COVID lockdown, because there was no one around and he was terrifying." "He was trying to touch me and grab me almost immediately, five minutes in, and my body language was literally turning away from him. I didn't want to try to leave until other people were around, so it lasted longer than I'd have liked. He showed me a video of him doing 50 burpees. Made me watch the whole thing, and insisted I feel his guns... twice. I worked at a school, didn't tell him where, and he claimed to have a tutoring business and 'would just go around to all the schools and ask the principals until he found me.' He also said, 'It won't be too hard to figure out which school your kids go to, either.' He still thought he was flirting. When I left, he asked for a kiss, and I refused. He said, 'I love it when people play hard to get.' I told him I'm not playing, and he leaned in again. I said no, and he said, 'Joke's on you, I always get what I want, and you are top of the list.' Leaned in again, I pushed him away and he said, 'We're going to have so much fun together.' I got in the car and left. That evening, he texted me to say he felt a real connection and 'knew' I did, too, and that we would make beautiful babies. He wanted to plan the next date and get that kiss. This 40-year-old man genuinely thought the date went well, meanwhile, I spent the next 6 months keeping my eye out for his car at my kids' schools." 6."His girlfriend showed up. He told me it was just a friend going through a divorce, and he was helping her through it. He left and spoke to her for about an hour. Then the girlfriend came up to me and asked, 'Why are you with my boyfriend?' I told her I didn't know, I was sorry, and she should break up with him. Then I left. This was on my birthday." –cornymagician424 7."Um, I vomited all over my date until my guts were empty. We haven't talked since. In fact, he blocked me on everything. Poor guy." –JaneDoe 8."When I was a young nurse (23) I dated a doctor who was seven years older than me, even though I KNEW it was a bad idea. He would stop by my unit daily and chat me up; I finally gave in." "He took me to a Wendy's, talked about how wonderful HE was, and spent a lot of time trying to convince me to come over to his place to 'meet his dog'. I declined the invitation to his house, which must have upset him, because he started saying nasty things about me at work. I later found out that he was talking to multiple girls throughout the hospital. I definitely dodged a bullet. Years later, our young children were on the same sports team, and he pretended to have no idea who I was… I 'reminded' him in front of his wife, and he again acted like a spoiled child by saying nasty things about me. What a winner." –LilBbNrs 9."He had gotten my number from a friend, and we talked for a while. We decided to go on a date. Went to Olive Garden to eat. It was going really "He was very self-obsessed and mostly talked about how much he works out, how much money he makes, his looks, etc. It started getting bad after he snapped at our waitress (who looked like a teenager) for spilling a little water on the table near him while pouring his drink. We're waiting to order, and he starts talking about all the girls he's dated in the past. He mentioned dating multiple girls at once, and I mentioned that was cheating. And I shit you not. He says, 'Yeah. That's fine, I'm a man. Men can do that stuff. They aren't supposed to stay pure like women.' I got up to 'go to the bathroom' and left. Absolutely not lol" –frigginfrogs 10."I basically babysat him the entire night. From the moment we met up, I could tell he was under the influence of something. He was highly paranoid and made the whole experience very awkward." "I spent the entire night reassuring him that everything was fine. He kept saying that people were looking at us or talking about us when they were not. He became wobbly after one drink, and while I considered leaving him while he was in the restroom, my conscious wouldn't let me do that. I linked hands and walked him back to his hotel to ensure he made it there safely, and then quickly retreated to my vehicle to return home. Overall, it was the worst date I've ever been on. He messaged me a week later asking why, and I was very candid. He's a thirty-year-old adult. Our actions have consequences. Self-care is paramount." –krizten0626 11."Went on a blind date that a friend set me up with (only because we are both tall). I had to pick him up and drive. When we got to the restaurant, he wanted to sit at the bar, then complained about the service, so he didn't pay." "At that point, I just wanted it to be over, so we left, and he saw that he forgot his phone inside. Didn't hear from him for a couple of days, so I figured he got the hint. Turns out he didn't go back for his phone. I blocked him and a couple of months later I saw him at a bar so when I left I had my guy friend walk me out and that crazy asshole yelled 'Slut!' so loud I could hear him from the parking lot." –edgycadet853 12."We were supposed to go to a snazzy cocktail bar, but he changed his mind and took us to the dive bar next door on our way in. He wouldn't stop picking his nose, literally did not ask me a single question about myself all night, drank five glasses of whiskey, and then freaked out about how expensive the bill was when it arrived (commenting, 'you gotta help me with this'). "He rattled off a list of all of his favorite dinosaurs from Jurassic World, informed me that he proudly chooses not to work a full-time job, and when I told him that was a recovering fundamentalist Christian he said 'it's good that you're not anymore because I wouldn't have sex with you if you were.' No thanks." –dizzywalrus918 13."It was a blind date through a mutual friend. I was feeling warm on the way to meet him, but I brushed that off as nerves. He took me to a holiday house party in the city. I was feeling like the edges were getting soft as the night wore on, and it was getting stuffy, and I was not feeling well." "On the way home, I rolled down my window for air and realized it was like 20 degrees out. I asked him to immediately pull over off the highway. He did, and I immediately started puking. A cop car pulled up, and the officer asked if everything was alright, and my date said yes, and the cop said, 'I wasn't asking you, pal' (I'll never forget that). We had to pull over four more times on the way back to his place, where my car was. I got back into my car and went home. I had the flu and was sick for several days! The guy kept calling to check on me to make sure I was okay. I was so humiliated. Never spoke to him again." –Bafsmom 14."We took a cab together to a drag show at a bar. I could tell he had been pregaming before I got there, but I thought nothing of it. As soon as we get to the bar, he pounds three shots back to back. That plus the liquor from earlier hit him at once and 15 minutes later, he shit himself." "Full blown poop water, all down his legs and soaked through his jeans. Instead of leaving, he sat behind the DJ booth drinking the rest of the night, away from everyone else. I told the bartender what happened, and he informed me that the guy had done the exact same thing approximately five times in the previous six months. I still went on a second date. No diarrhea this time, but he got kicked out of the same drag bar for offering to 'service' the bartender." –charmingminion318 15."At the time, I lived in the south metro area of the Twin Cities, and the guy I was going on a first date with lived and worked in Minneapolis. Although I wanted to meet in between, he insisted we go to this bar in Minneapolis near where he worked, which was a 30-minute drive for me. Okay, fine. I show up and am looking around because I can't see him anywhere. He sees me and waves me over." "I had met him through a dating app, and his pictures were clearly from 10 years and 100 lbs ago. He looked NOTHING like his pictures. I should have left, but I stayed and had a beer. He had been drinking whiskey cokes and had already had two by the time I made it. Anyway, he wanted to play pool, so we played a game or two before I politely told him I had to head home. He went to pay our bill, and his card was declined, so I went ahead and paid (it was happy hour and only like $18). He then walked me to my car and asked if he could hug me because he's a 'hugger.' I declined and said goodnight. As I was starting my car, I saw him pedaling off on his bicycle. So that explains why he couldn't meet in between. A week later, I got a 'hey girl, hey' text. Nope." –BigBabyPuddingSnatcher1 16."Was traveling in France and this guy I met was going on and on about what a great lover he was... so I decided to take him home that night." "Much to my chagrin and sadness, the dude had jagged, SNAGGLE nails!!! Suffice it to say, we did not get past the basement foreplay stage. NO SIR. Go handle that mess. THE WORST PART: I found out because I started bleeding from his snaggle daggers... only to have him TELL ME it must be my period. Like, WHAT??? Get outta here. TMI maybe, but that was THE WORST. Still shudder just thinking of the ick." –Littlefairywanderer 17."This was my first date after COVID, and I was excited to go to the local gay bar. When I got to the date, the guy was already plastered and kept trying to grab onto me like an octopus after leading us to a secluded corner. At one point, he loudly asked me my bra size." "Now, this would always be offensive, but I am a trans man (which I made clear multiple times) and was literally flying out in the morning to have top surgery! I tried to get him to take a cab home, but he refused. I didn't feel safe taking him to my place, considering how handsy he was and how he pouted about me refusing to let him kiss me. He texted me the next day apologizing, and seriously thought he would get a second date. At least he made it home safe, and so did everyone else on the road that night!" –messytable417 finally, "We went to a stand-up comedy show. He would not shut up during the sets. An usher finally told him to please be quiet, but he wouldn't stop talking! I finally had to say something and he got pissed. Said I was not supporting him. He left the venue and subsequently left the casino we were at. I had to Uber home." –danielleu445adb2d8 Do you have a dating horror story that belongs on this list? Let me know in the comments!
