35 Best Products On Amazon's "Internet Famous" Section
Fun fact: Amazon has an "Internet Famous" section curated with TikTok-viral products. Here are a few of the current ones so beloved by reviewers that they are *definitely* worth the hype: Dr. Melaxin "Peel Shot," a K-beauty staple for serious exfoliation that buffs out dead skin and leaves your complexion looking glowy and refreshed. If you're looking for an effective way to kick dead skin cells, blackheads, and sebum to the curb, this deeply penetrating rice water extract formula is just the ticket. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse designed for all hair types to give you satisfyingly hydrated, volumized, frizz-free curls at a FRACTION of the price of its competitors. Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it's the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes, with visible differences within a minute of use. A delightfully affordable instant foot peeling spray for anyone ready to go full YEEHAW!! on that at-home pedicure. This not only helps gently remove dead skin, but moisturizes dry and cracked heels, so you'll really get some refreshing bang for your buck. A set of lightweight, oh-so-dainty ruffled pajamas reviewers are in loooove with for summer, saying the fabric is so high quality that it feels like linen. If you're looking for breezy warm weather loungewear, this adorable set fits the bill! Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which will be your holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes when your summer schedule is throwing you for a loop. This lightweight, color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference — one that a lot of reviewers compare to the $33 Becca version. A "Birthday Cake Stick" lip balm that earned its place as a cult-fave — not only is this super nourishing on your lips, but it tastes like vanilla cake, buttercream icing, and rainbow sprinkles, so now you can have your cake and moisturize with it, too. L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray Mist so darn phenomenal at its job that one reviewer calls it "hairspray for your face," and several compare it to the $34 One/Size setting spray at triple the price. This ultra-fine formula sprays on lightly and leaves a natural finish, but just one spray is designed to LOCK IN your look for 36 hours. A delightful little tool called the "Bug Bite Thing" — it suctions on all kinds of bug bites to reduce swelling, itchiness, and redness. La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 40 Tinted Sunscreen, aka the "holy grail" of tinted sunscreens — reviewers love this lightweight, buildable formula so much that a lot of them replaced their foundation with it altogether. If you're in the market for some subtle but effective coverage that won't get goopy or settle in pores, this is your sunscreen match made in heaven. An air fryer cheat sheet that basically pays for itself on the first use — you can magnetize this right to your fridge and know precisely how to cook meats, veggies, and frozen food to perfection, helping eliminate food waste and save your budget from takeout. The Ordinary's Multi-Depth Hydration Serum to achieve that "glassy," plumped effect *without* breaking the whole bank. This delightfully affordable, super effective serum helps hydrate and protect your skin barrier so you wake up with firm, refreshed skin. A set of assorted pool floaties so cute it'll feel like you're accessorizing the whole pool when you throw them in. (It's all fun and games until I start fighting someone for that pink donut one.) Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo with all the oil-absorbing, refreshing power of its competitors, *plus* added keratin for protection against frizz and breakage. The subtle gardenia scent is just extra extra credit after all that. A pair of oversize subtle cat-eye sunglasses so cute that you'll want to snag 'em in every color, and so affordable that you won't weep dollar signs if you accidentally leave them at the coffee shop. Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in *PINK* Honey — aka, the sweet, subtle sister of the iconic "Black Honey" that has been so popular over the past few decades that it just about broke TikTok when it finally had its moment over there. The skin tone-matching, pH-adaptive pink version is every bit as buildable, polished, and decadent feeling as the original black honey, and perfect for everyday makeup looks. Wikki Stix, the ultimate in mess-free, silent, distracting fidgets — you can take these little wax sticks and push them into any shape you please, and stick them on surfaces without worrying about residue or marks. Parents especially love these for when kids are waiting at restaurants or on flights! An affordable, Lululemon-esque longline sports bra so comfy, supportive, and versatile that reviewers love it both for outdoor workouts, gym use, *and* errand running. This is designed to be supportive without being too compressive, with lightweight fabric that keeps you breezy in the heat. Neutrogena Rapid Clear Stubborn Acne Spot Treatment Gel formulated with the MAX of 10% benzoyl peroxide to help take care of acne as fast and effectively as possible. This stuff is so strong that it's designed to help reduce the redness and size of acne in just two hours, and also helps prevent more breakouts in the future. E.l.f's Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. A wildly beloved floral-forward vanilla perfume so deliciously perfect for summer that you'll be like, "Is it appropriate to bathe in this?" This sunny scent leans warm and tropical, with reviewers noting a hint of mango in the vanilla. It's all the bright happiness of summer in a soft, sophisticated, gourmand scent. A cult-favorite Flairisol Olivia, a continuous oil sprayer with built-in portion control that has won the allegiance of reviewers from professional chefs to at-home bakers. The ultra-fine spray makes it ridiculously easy to work with, especially for people tracking nutrition stats for their own sake or for a restaurant's — each spray is equivalent to one gram of oil for easy measuring. L'Oréal Paris Collagen Daily Face Moisturizer so intensely hydrating, plumping, and smoothing that reviewers compare it to the $92 Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. 👀 Not only is this super effective and affordable, but its nongreasy formula makes it play super well with makeup. Yankee Candle's Midsummer's Night, or what I like to call a "goth summer candle," as a perfectly moody way to usher in the warmer weather if you're not a big fan of sweetness and floral. Reviewers compare this alluring blend of musk, patchouli, sage, and mahogany to a soft cologne. A suuuper thin, breathable Hanes slub knit hoodie as the ultimate "just in case" layer on days when the weather is having an existential crisis and taking you for the ride. Color Wow Xtra Large Bombshell Volumizer, a foam you can apply to your roots when you're styling to take your blowout to the next level, even when the humidity is doing its best to keep your locks down. Reviewers with fine hair especially swear by this for an immediate, long-lasting lift! Jergens Natural Glow Firming Self Tanner Body Lotion to give you a gradually building, vacation-worthy ~sunkissed glow~ over the course of just a few days. Not only is this easy peasy to apply compared to other finickier, streaking lotions, but it's formulated with collagen and elastin to help your skin appear firmer *and* glowier. A reviewer-beloved basic crewneck tee that plays nice with ALL your jeans and skirts, since it's just the right amount of compressive and easily slides under waistbands. Also, at that price point, and in THIS MANY colors??? Seems like it's Restock Your Wardrobe O'Clock. A wildly popular hummingbird projection lantern to make your porch or backyard feel like you're stepping out of the real world and into a whimsical fairy tale. Medicube's "Zero Pore" Pads, which are dual-textured toner pads made with lactic and salicylic acid to exfoliate and refine your pores. The excess sebum in your face just met its worst enemy in this cult-fave Korean skincare product. 😈 E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, another home run from the brand's moisturizing "Holy Hydration" line that reviewers are comparing to the $35 Watermelon Dew Drops from Glow Recipe. This lightweight formula is designed to brighten and plump skin for a dewy effect, whether you're wearing it alone, applying it under your makeup, or mixing it with your foundation. A set of golden tennis bracelets giving ~quiet luxury~ vibes at "I want to pay rent this month" prices. Reviewers especially love these mix-and-match sets because they look like expensive versions from iconic brands! A set of ridiculously realistic-looking faux fern plants for some instant serotonin in your backyard or living space. Plant parenthood is nice, but faux plant parenthood is every bit as chic and a whoooole lot less of a time commitment. 💅 Anua Heartleaf 77 Soothing Toner reviewers going for the "glass skin" look swear by — this underrated but impactful toner helps calm and refresh your complexion by balancing your skin's pH level and helping it better absorb all your lovely skincare products, no matter how hard the sun is trying to dry you out. A pair of cheerful, super lightweight boxer-style shorts so comfy and adorable that you are about to put all other styles on notice for the rest of the year — especially since these are a MUCH cheaper alternative to the $98 Reformation version.

007: Next James Bond Rumored to be DCU Star
A new rumor surrounding the James Bond franchise suggests that a forthcoming DCU star is one of several actors being eyed for the highly coveted role of James Bond. According to noted insider Daniel Richtman (also known as DanielRPK), Aaron Pierre is one of several names being considered for the role of the legendary spy. Pierre broke out into superstardom following his role in 2021's Old, and Netflix's Rebel Ridge, as well as 2024's Mufasa: The Lion King. Pierre will also next appear in the next season of Apple TV+'s The Morning Show, and will play John Stewart in the DCU for the series' Lanterns series. Richtman didn't mention any other names that are being considered for Bond. The James Bond franchise is now in the hands of Amazon MGM Studios following the shocking announcement earlier this year that longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson would be stepping back from their long-time status as producers on the franchise, allowing Amazon MGM Studios to take creative control of the franchise. The agreement sees Amazon MGM Studios and the duo forming a new joint venture house to house the intellectual property rights for the Bond franchise. The three parties will remain co-owners of the Bond series, but now Amazon MGM Studios will have creative control, something that Broccoli and Wilson had retained before. Prior to the announcement, both Wilson and Broccoli had been known as fiercely protective over the franchise, but in a statement on the move, Wilson noted that he was stepping back to focus more on art and charitable projects, while Broccoli said she would be focusing on other projects now. Information about the future of the James Bond franchise, as well as what the next film will be about, remains mysterious for now.

£20 Color Wow becomes 'must-have' buy for unruly hair in the humid weather
'Amazing product. Where has this been all my life! Well worth the money and will definitely purchase again.' As Scotland was struck by a heatwave over the past couple of days, with temperatures reaching a high of 28.9 in Drumnadrochit, many of us tried to make the most of the unusually warm weather. However, while we could all do with a bit of Vitamin D, the weather can have a negative impact on our hair. For those who have spent what seems like a lifetime forcing your hair to look smooth, sleek and frizz free, going outdoors into the heat can be the last thing you want to do because as soon as the humidity hits, all your hardwork is ruined. If this is something you struggle with, Amazon has just dropped the price of the COLOR WOW Extra Strength Dream Coat, which is an anti-humidity treatment for your hair. With some reviewers hailing it as a 'must-have' buy, shoppers can now grab a 200ml bottle for the reduced price of £20.95. Normally priced at £32, shoppers will also be able to start using the treatment on their hair the next day due to Amazon's speedy delivery service, reports Birmingham Live. Shoppers will need to use the Color Wow treatment after they have finished shampooing, conditioning and towel-drying their hair. From there, users should split their hair into sections and spray each of them liberally. Finally, shoppers will need to blow-dry the sections. The spray works by locking moisture into the strands of your hair and blocking out any humidity. This is done with use of flex-elastic polymers that will keep straight, blow-dried styles looking glossy and sleek. The anti-frizz results are said to last for up to four washes. Suitable for coarse, frizzy, dry, curly, damaged or coily hair, the waterproof technology in the treatment should be able to keep any pesky flyaways and frizz at bay between washes. COLOR WOW Extra Strength Dream Coat £32 £20.95 Amazon Buy Now Product Description Another popular anti-frizz product is the R+Co Moon Landing Anti-Humidity Spray. Priced at £26.50, this 180ml bottle is said to calm frizz and repel moisture. Infused with a polymer blend and a sea buckthorn oil, this product will tame flyaways and leave hair looking shiny and hydrated. Alternatively, shoppers can buy Living Proof No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer from SpaceNK for £28. This 208ml bottle is said to provide softness, smoothness and shine to your hair, and is ideal for those who have medium to thick tresses. Shoppers can also get 15 per cent off their first order by using the code FIRST15. Back to Color Wow, Amazon shoppers have been raving over this treatment, which has been bought by over 3,000 shoppers in the last 30 days. One happy shopper said: "Amazing product. Where has this been all my life! Well worth the money and will definitely purchase again." With another added: "I was sceptical to try yet another hair product so bought this small bottle given the price. I have just used it and it is exactly what is says on the tin .. 'wow'. Normally if I blow dry my hair it looks like I have been dragged through a hedge backwards and need to use the straighteners to look presentable. "This has made me look like I have just gone for a blow dry at the salon and I don't need to use my straighteners. I haven't seen if it lives up to staying on the hair for a couple of washes but I am definitely buying the bigger bottle!" However, some shoppers noted varying results, as one person said: "All of my friends where raving about this product so I bought it myself. To be honest, it didn't do much for me, maybe it's because I only use a brush and hairdryer on it and maybe you are supposed to use something more "professional" to seal the product." With another adding: "I bought this product cause I saw good results on my friend hair but it doesn't do the same thing on my hair." Despite this, one five-star reviewer wrote: "This is now on my must have list. It works even on my very unruly hair! It keeps it sleek and glossy between washes. Great for anti frizz!!!!" With a sixth shopper commenting: "Performs so well and makes my hair so so shiny. My style stays even when it's humid." To buy the COLOR WOW Extra Strength Dream Coat, click HERE.

Amazon Indigenous peoples can benefit from ‘ayahuasca tourism'
Your article ('Ayahuasca tourism' is a blight on Indigenous peoples and our environment, 17 June) brings up important concerns but it looks at a complicated issue too narrowly. It is worth remembering that the word 'ayahuasca' itself is not a modern invention, but a Quechua term meaning 'vine of the soul'. It is just one of many names used for the ceremonial medicine across different Indigenous cultures – others include yagé, kamarampi, caapi, oasca and daime. Suggesting that only 'hayakwaska' is 'correct' erases the diversity of ancestral traditions across the Amazon basin. The claim that ayahuasca is marketed as a 'mystical shortcut' overlooks the reality: real work with this medicine is neither quick nor easy. True healing through ayahuasca involves deep inner effort, often accompanied by discomfort, surrender and courage – whether one is Indigenous or not. The criticism of cultural distortion and biodiversity loss is valid, especially that tourism encourages the illegal wildlife trade. But we must also acknowledge that many of the products sold to tourists (such as jaguar parts) are offered by local individuals. Given their cultural knowledge and connection to the forest, Indigenous communities can and should take leadership in educating both locals and visitors, promoting sustainable and ethical practices. To ask, 'How are 'ayahuasca tourists' giving back?' is fair. Yet tourism – when done responsibly – can be a vital source of income for rural areas, offering alternatives to logging, mining and drug trafficking. It provides jobs and preserves cultural relevance for younger MalatestaWanay Community Retreat Center, Mocoa, Colombia I agree wholeheartedly with Nina Gualinga and Eli Virkina that ayahuasca tourism takes the shaman away from their sacred work, which is the community and the land. I know that as a UK-based shamanic healer, my work is with this land. This is what brings harmony to the soul. The plants and trees of any country are the wisdom keepers and healing cannot happen anywhere unless the land is being tended and healed. This involves releasing the souls of war and empire-building, reinstating the guardians of the sacred sites and bringing ourselves back to reciprocity. Knowing our roots and tending them brings us back into relationship with ourselves. This land and our hearts need our ancestral tending right now. For our healing to involve going to Ecuador for spiritual tourism, when there is so much ancestral and earth tending to do on our soil, shows how disconnected we still are from land and mother. We cannot find that anywhere else. The plants of these sacred isles hold so much love and wisdom now in our return to the land as a mother, as a sentient loving source who holds us. The sacred plants of these isles are dandelions, thistles, dock and nettle – they support us and guide us. Our trees are oak, birch and rowan, hawthorn. It is our communication and relationship with the earth mother and the plant spirits. A sovereign connection between ourselves and our WebsterLancaster It's always fascinating to learn about such distant remote Indigenous communities, and yet find so much in common, such as their innate respect for nature. The onset of modern tourism – often appended with 'eco', 'sustainable' and 'responsible' by those exploiting Indigenous people – is a common phenomenon. However, is there a lesser of two evils? 'Ayahuasca' in Ecuador, as described in your piece, or the wholesale taking-over of Indigenous lands, livelihoods and cultures that we see in Cambodia? The forced assimilation in to the mainstream population was most violently imposed during the notorious 1970s Khmer Rouge regime but goes on insidiously ever LowrieTa Khmau, Cambodia
