Longer, thicker lashes without the need for falsies? Oui, oui, Monsieur! (Getty Images)(Getty)
One of our favorite parts of this awards season? Seeing Demi Moore walk across every red carpet. While we love the Hollywood star's fashion, it's her makeup that we can't get enough of, which makes sense considering she's been a beauty icon for decades. Lucky for all of us, she's revealed her secret to the low-key glam look she's perfected over the years: "Simple," "quality" beauty basics that prove "less is more" — like her go-to lash lifter, Lancôme’s Monsieur Big Volumizing Mascara. It's one of the few makeup products she uses daily and one that you can try out yourself now for just $23, down from $30.
These leggings are so comfy that this just might be the year you look forward to working out.
If you're looking for denim that's designed for all shapes and sizes, these affordable Amandas definitely fit the bill (pun intended). They're classic high-rises that sit at your natural waist and will go with just about anything.
These No. 1 bestsellers start at a wild $20, so grab a few pairs for fall and winter — they'd look fab with some stylish boots.
Garrity says, "I know, I know, gloves aren't exactly the most novel gift idea, but they're one of those things that we all need to refresh every couple of winters. These fleece-lined favorites are just as practical as they are pretty: One Amazon shopper raved that 'the fur cuff is perfect and looks expensive,' while another mentioned that they 'kept my hands warm during my trip to the northeast and in cold weather.' The best of both worlds, eh?"
That 66% discount isn't too shabby, either...

One fan simply said: "Get it. You won't be disappointed." And at this price it's an easy choice.
Want lashes like Demi Moore's? Well, the Oscar-nominated actress reportedly wears Lancome's Monsieur Big Volumizing Mascara. "I have really super sensitive skin," Moore told InStyle, "so I look to use things that are highly effective and of the highest quality." Monsieur Big is one of only three beauty products the Substance actress uses every day to stay looking fresh-faced.
So, what makes it so special? Monsieur Big promises up to 12 times more volume compared to going bare, thanks to its polymer-packed formula and innovative wavy fiber bristle brush to help boost lashes. The deep black mascara also offers up to 24 hours of wear without flaking or smudging.
This mascara features a similar formula to the original Monsieur Big, but with waterproof capabilities — perfect for summer fun.
"Best waterproof mascara, this stuff lengthens lashes and doesn't smudge at all!!" gushed a devotee.
Celeb-beloved beauty for a reasonable price? Nope, pigs aren't flying and the sky isn't purple — this is real life, and you can score Moore's favorite mascara for just $23 now, down from $30. That's also the lowest price we've seen this Lancôme lacquer go on Amazon in months.
We'll start with why a star like the Oscar-nominated Demi Moore depends on Lancôme’s Monsieur Big Volumizing Mascara to frame her famous face: "I have really super sensitive skin," Moore told InStyle, "so I look to use things that are highly effective and of the highest quality." Monsieur Big is one of only three beauty products that The Substance actress uses every day to stay looking fresh-faced — the others, by the way, are Westman Atelier's Vital Skin Foundation Stick and the ever-popular Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask — and Moore said that her "simple program" works in the interest of not letting "things get too complicated." In her opinion? "Less is more."
Considering the mascara is one of the only makeup products this megastar uses, what makes it so special? It's all about the volume, baby. Monsieur Big (which seems to be cheekily named after Carrie Bradshaw's Sex and the City beau) promises up to 12 times more volume compared to going bare, thanks to its polymer-packed formula and innovative wavy fiber bristle brush to help boost lashes. The deep black mascara also offers up to 24 hours of wear without flaking or smudging. (Though this particular variety isn't waterproof, have no fear — there's a waterproof version too!)
More than 3,300 Amazon reviewers have given Lancôme’s Monsieur Big Volumizing Mascara a flawless five-star rating, with many highlighting the volume it gives to otherwise languid lashes.
One thing is for certain, this is the kind of formula that inspires long-term fans.
"I’ve been using this mascara for over a decade now and find it to be as effective in my 50s as I did in my late 30s," said one reviewer.
Another added, "I haven't used another mascara in four years because I love this one so much. ... I've had people ask if I'm wearing fake eyelashes. ... It doesn't flake off throughout the day, not even in the humid Michigan summers."
Another longtime user agreed: "I've been using [Monsieur Big] for about 10 years now. It makes my eyelashes look thicker and longer, and everyone asks me what mascara I use. I've tried many kinds, but this one seems to be the best and goes on thick."
The no-flake, volumizing formula seems to be what impresses shoppers the most. One fan said, "This makes my lashes pop! Adds length and volume without clumping."
"This has a thick, rich color with a lot of adhesion to the lashes. I have white eyelashes and you would not know by using this," said a final fan.
While the reviews are largely positive, some complain that clumps can happen if you apply liberally.
"I have very thin and sparse eyelashes and haven't been able to find a mascara that makes them look better (thicker/fuller and longer) — but this one does!" said a reviewer, adding as a slight criticism that "While it does tend to clump when you apply a second layer, so do most mascaras."
"Always looking for a better mascara. This one’s pretty good. Can get a little clumpy," noted another customer.
