The GrandeBROW Brow Enhancing Serum from Grande Cosmetics has more than 1,100 five-star reviews.

The $73 serum promises fuller, bolder brows in six to eight weeks.

GrandeBROW targets sparse, thinning, over-plucked or tailless brow areas, with a full bottle good for four months of daily use.

The dermatologist-tested growth elixir contains amino acids, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, a blend of botanical extracts and glycosaminoglycans for healthier, hydrated brow hairs.

One woman called the serum a “game changer” after the effects started working.

Another noted that the serum also worked on her lashes, even though it wasn’t intended for the lash area.

“Although pricey, it definitely works! I used it on my lashes and someone told me it looked like I had lashes!” she said.

“It takes a while before you notice results, but it works!”

One eyebrow-less woman claimed the serum completely changed the game.

“I had no eyebrows and this saved my life, I’m amazed,” she said.

Another woman with thin eyebrows shared before and after photos of her dramatic results.

“I am OBSESSED with this serum. I have always loved my brow shape but they were so sparse (thanks to my genetics lol),” she said.

“This has made SUCH a big difference and I feel less insecure without makeup.”

A third reviewer was also able to put down her brow pencil after using the serum for a few weeks.

“This serum is highly recommended! My eyebrows became patchy towards the bridge of my nose,” they wrote.

“Within a few weeks I noticed a difference. I’ve been applying it once a day and now, after seven weeks, my brows are really getting fuller and I feel confident that I don’t have to use my brow pencil all the time.”

PRIMARK’s Charlotte Tilbury dupes have gained a cult following in recent years thanks to copycat contour wands and blush wands that were £25.50 cheaper.

But one thing that always irked customers was the lack of shade range, meaning they couldn’t always find a dupe that matched their skin tone.

Luckily for us, Primark has increased the shade range of its PS…Pro Cream Contour Wand and the PS…Pro Cream Blush products.

On Instagram, the social media team shared a plush image of all three wands, including cream blush, matte cream blush and contour, lined up in their mighty color range.

“Primark finally has sunglasses,” noted Eleanor Wad.

“Okay, I need it,” Lucy Watts added.

The PS…Pro Matte Cream Blush is now available in three shades of pink, red and peach, while the shimmering PS…Pro Cream Blush is still in peach.

“Whether you want to show off a subtle, pinched cheek look or a completely glamorous effect, this liquid blusher is the perfect product for both,” said Primark bosses.

“With its cream formula, this blush pairs well with other liquid and cream products, and has the ability to blend effortlessly and spread easily across the complexion.”

The matte version is said to “dry down after application and last all day.”

On the other hand, the cream blush has a dewy texture for a smoother finish.

“For easy application, the tube features a sponge applicator so you can place some on your finger or dab directly onto your cheeks,” read the instructions that come with the products.

The £4.50 PS Pro Cream Contour Wand is now available in a light and dark finish.

“This will help you shape and enhance your bone structure and best features,” said Primark bosses.

“Formulated to provide buildable coverage, this product can be blended to achieve a light contour, or layered for a more intense look.

“It comes in a thin squeeze tube with a cushion applicator for precise use, helping you flawlessly create a sculpted, contoured complexion.”

The fashion giant’s PS… Pro collection is packed with makeup dupes, from Drunk Elephant-esque bronzing drops to the iconic Bobbi Brown facial base.

“With products that allow you to create an abundance of classic, understated looks or dark and moody aesthetics,” reads a blurb about the collection.

“This range offers everything from airbrush foundations to cream contour products and hydrating blush formulas.

“Shimmering lip glosses are perfect for creating the coveted glazed donut trend, while glitter eyeshadows and volumizing mascaras are made for bold and sultry eye effects.

“So whether you’re looking for latte makeup, low-key luxe looks or a full-on glam affair, our PS… Pro line should tick all the boxes.”

Girls Aloud made their first appearance since confirming their reunion when they took to Zoe Ball’s radio show on Radio Two on Thursday morning.

Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh plan to hit the road in May and June 2024 to mark 21 years this month since they and the late Sarah Harding won Popstars: The Rivals.

The girls put on a sensational show before their interview as they strutted into the BBC studios in a range of chic looks.

Taking the lead was Nicola, who opted for a checked skirt suit consisting of a blazer with a ruffled collar and a fitted waist, alongside knee-high brown boots.

Cheryl wore black leather trousers with a crisp blue shirt and blazer, while she kept the chill out with a burgundy turtleneck underneath.

Nadine stunned in a black leather dress with ruffles to accentuate her tiny waist, while she paired it with a cropped gray blazer.

Next up in a pantsuit was Kimberley, who wowed in her denim two-piece with large gold buttons.

Since confirming the news, the group revealed that they haven’t recorded any new music, but simply want to celebrate their back catalogue.

Cheryl revealed they had been discussing the plans for some time, but shelved the idea when Sarah – who died in September 2021 – was diagnosed with cancer.

She said in a statement: “We all started talking a few years ago about the possibility of doing something to celebrate Girls Aloud’s 20th anniversary. The anniversary seemed like an obvious thing to celebrate.

‘But when Sarah got sick, all priorities changed. She passed away a year before the anniversary and it just didn’t feel right, it felt too soon.”

The group plans to use the tour to “celebrate” their late friend.

Cheryl added, “But now I think there’s an energy there that makes it feel good. It’s the right time to celebrate Sarah, it’s the right time to celebrate the bond and the right time to celebrate that we can still do this 21 years later. That is a great honor in many ways.’

Kimberley said: “Over the past year we have felt this outpouring of love – obviously towards Sarah, but really towards all of us as a group.

“And I think it rekindled something in all of us.” It feels like something has changed and it feels like the right time to celebrate Sarah and the 20th anniversary that we didn’t celebrate at the time.”

The group hopes fans will enjoy the tour as much as they do.

Nadine said: ‘Girls Aloud is a band that has had such a huge impact on people’s lives. We grew up with the band, but so did so many other people.

‘So it feels like a shame and a shame for us not to do something again. We want to have that moment with the fans that we can all enjoy together.”

A laser beam from more than 10 million miles away has just hit Earth.

But unlike the movie Independence Day, this laser is completely harmless – and NASA says aliens are not to blame.

The laser was beamed to Earth by NASA’s Psyche spacecraft, which is currently more than 10 million miles from Earth.

To put that into perspective, that’s 40 times farther than the moon.

NASA hopes the new technology will one day allow astronauts on future missions to video call Earth from Mars.

This was the first test, or “first light,” of the Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) laser system.

It is also the first time a laser has been used to transmit data from further than the moon.

NASA says it wants to use the technology tested here to create a communications network in space, much like the network of fiber optic cables used on Earth.

DSOC rides along with the Psyche spacecraft as it completes its 3.6 billion kilometer journey to the asteroid 16 Psyche between Mars and Jupiter.

Along the way, Psyche will complete a “Mars fly-by,” giving NASA’s engineers a chance to see if future Mars missions can use lasers to stay in contact with Earth.

Trudy Kortes, director of Technology Demonstrations at NASA Headquarters, said: “Reaching first light is one of many critical DSOC milestones in the coming months.”

Ms. Kortes added that the test paves the way for “higher data rate communications capable of transmitting scientific information, high-definition images and streaming video to support the next great leap for humanity.”

Current satellites use radio signals to communicate, receive commands and send data back to controllers.

Radio waves and lasers are both types of electromagnetic radiation that can travel through the vacuum of space at the speed of light.

The difference is that since infrared light is a higher frequency wave, NASA’s new laser communications system can transmit more information per second.

The flight laser transceiver takes data in the form of bits and encodes it into the photons that make up the laser.

Back on Earth, the signal is received by a superconducting, highly efficient detector array that identifies individual photons as they arrive and decodes the data.

Although the signal travels at the speed of light, the large distances make it a major challenge to accurately send a laser signal to a receiver on Earth.

DSOC first connects to a powerful uplink laser beacon broadcast from the Optical Communications Telescope Laboratory at JPL’s Table Mountain Facility in California.

This allows the spacecraft to focus its laser on the communications array at Palomar, about 80 miles (130 km) to the south.

Meera Srinivasan, DSOC operations leader for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said the test was “the first to fully include ground assets and the flight transceiver, requiring the DSOC and Psyche operations teams to work together.”

“It was a huge challenge and we still have a lot more work to do, but for a short time we were able to send, receive and decode some data,” she added.

NASA is also preparing to establish a two-way laser communications system on the International Space Station.

Earlier this month, NASA sent a laser communications terminal to the ISS to test how to use powerful lasers in low orbit.

The ultimate goal is to integrate lasers into the entire communications system to build a faster and more reliable network in space.
