Happy Halloweekend! It’s hereeee! Hopefully, by now, you’ve got your Halloween hair and makeup all figured out, but don’t forget that’s it’s technically still a normal weekend so you need to think about what makeup you’ll wear when you’re not out celebrating. Oh, and don’t forget that you also have to show up to brunch on Sunday fresh-faced and ready to recap all the crazy-fun ish that went down this weekend. This week, we found six makeup essentials to try out this weekend, and they’re all less than $15. Swing by the drugstore on your way home from work to grab these must-haves — and one last bag of candy for the trick or treaters.

For that quick touch-up between the end of work and the onset of this heavily anticipated weekend, Physicians Formula Super BB Balm Stick ($13) is a must. You can use this stick to freshen up anywhere you use concealer or foundation to brighten and smooth out your complexion. Packed with SPF and serious priming power, it’s like a super portable, magical little beauty stick. Then, give your freshened up daytime makeup to a decidedly nighttime vibe with Milani Color Statement Moisture Matte Lipstick ($6) in a shade that makes you feel fab. We love the Warm Rose Brown for fall; it’s matte, moody and super flattering (trust me!).

YOUR NIGHT O.U.T. LOOK

Woo woo, time for a night on the town or a night filled with fun Halloween parties — get your costume ready! Green smokey eyes are *in*, so why not try out this trend tonight? Since it’s a bit of a step up from the normal smokey eye, it’s def Halloween-appropriate. Covergirl Bombshell Shineshadow ($8) in Color Me Honey is a really wearable, shimmery green. This stuff has light-reflecting pigments in it, so your eyes will seriously shine when they’re under the light in the club. Since your eyes will be stealing the show, keep your lips low-key with a gloss like Maybelline Color Elixir ($9) — there are a bunch of pretty, neutral shades (like Nude Illusion and Glistening Amber) that will compliment your eyes nicely and polish your ghoulish look.

YOUR BRUNCH WITH THE BESTIES LOOK

Whew. This weekend was a doozy, right? Costumes, parties… it’s time to unwind with your besties. You’re prob exhausted, though, and not into doing a full makeup routine right now — and who ever wants to do that on a weekend anyway? This is where

($10) comes in! It’s one of the

out there (seriously, I’ve used them ALL and this is the only one I repurchase). It’s super light but gives a solid amount of coverage. To finish off your brunch face, give your brows a bit of love. Swipe on

($4) to define them and you’re set. Now, bring on the mimosas and bacon.

Kirsten Dunst Reminisces About “Bring It On” — And Her Childhood Connection To The Movie

Once we saw her in Jumanji, we knew actress Kirsten Dunst would make us proud — especially as Torrance Shipman in the iconic cheer movie, Bring It On. She had us shouting, "Brrr, it's cold in here! There must be some Toros in the atmosphere" during recess...and now, if we're being honest! But, she wasn't the only person we had our eyes on.

There were so many '90s it girls who made an appearance in the movie that we couldn't help but wonder what the Bring It On cast has been up to since the movie premiered in 2000. Sigh...yes, it's been 23 years since Bring It On hit the big screen. ANYWAY, here's what your fave cheerleaders have been up to over the last two decades!

Kirsten Dunst — Torrance Shipman

Kirsten Dunst made us believe that "cheer is life" with her portrayal of Torrance Shipman in Bring It On, but her acting credits didn't end there. She went on to star in the earlier Spiderman franchises, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Marie Antoinette, Hidden Figures, and more! During a video interview with Variety, she fondly talked about starring in Bring It On. She said, "We did extensive dance rehearsal which I loved. I was a cheerleader in 8th grade — that's why I did the movie." Although she was a base in middle school, she got to do a little bit of flying in the movie. She was nervous because her best friend broke her arm doing so, but it seems everything turned out just fine! The best thing she said is, "That movie was a surprise to all of us — the success. We were just off in San Diego...having fun."

In another recent interview with E!, she described where she thinks Torrance Shipman would be today. "Good question. Coaching, maybe," she said with a smile.

Her latest project is the upcoming film Civil War that's set to revolve around an erupting civil war in America. She plays Lee, a celebrated war photojournalist who travels to different cities to document what's going on.

Eliza Dushku — Missy Pantone

Before she was Missy Pantone in Bring It On, Eliza Dushku was in the film True Lies with Arnold Schwarznegger and Jamie Lee Curtis. She also starred in Buffy The Vampire Slayer, That 70's Show, Ugly Betty, and a slew of other movies. Although she hasn't been acting lately, she did produce Mapplethorpe in 2018 via her production company, Boston Diva Productions.

Jesse Bradford — Cliff Pantone

Did we have a crush on Jesse Bradford at one point? The correct answer is of course we did! Not only was he a part of the Bring It On cast, but he appeared in other fun teen movies like Cherry Falls with the late actress Brittany Murphy, Swimfan and Clockstoppers.

These days you can find him living his best life on Instagram.

Lindsay Sloane — Big Red

"Big Red" was played by none other than actress Lindsay Sloane. Her comedic timing has secured her spot as a comedian who's appeared in Nancy Drew, The Other Guys, and Horrible Bosses 1 and 2. Her last occurring role was as Judy on the updated version of The Wonder Years.

Gabrielle Union-Wade — Isis

Gabrielle Union-Wade has had a long acting career and has appeared in some of favorite coming-of-age movies. From being a part of the Bring It On cast to playing the lead character in Being Mary Jane, she's done more than make her mark in the entertainment industry. When she's not busy with family life, it's not unusual to see the actress secure brand partnerships.

Gabrielle's most recent appearance was at the 55th NAACP Image Awards with her husband Dwyane Wade on March 16.

Shamari Devoe — Lava

Shamari Devoe was one of Isis' right-hand girls in Bring It On, but she mostly known being the lead vocalist of former R&B group Blaque. She briefly appeared on season 11 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but Yahoo reports she decided to part ways with the reality TV show.

She's married to Ronnie Devoe, a member of the R&B group New Edition, and they've appeared on Seasons 2 and 3 of Couples Retreat.

Natina Reed — Jenelope

​Natina Reed was also among the ​Bring It On​ cast and was known for her melodic rapping in the girl group Blaque. However, she passed away in 2012 after being hit by a car. The Hollywood Reporter says she was attempting to cross the street.

Clare Kramer may have played "Courtney" in Bring It On, but she was also known for playing the villain Glory on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She also was a part of the Sabrina, the Teenage Witch cast! Her last role was Ms. Persephone in a movie called The Dead Ones.

Ah, good ole Les! We can't forget his memorable character in Bring It On. However, he's also had a role in The Wedding Planner and We Are Marshall. Nowadays, Huntley is the Co-President/CCO of STFRD (Strafford), marketing company based out California.

Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons met on the set of Fargo where the two co-starred. And although they had an instant connection, they didn't start actually dating until after filming wrapped. So they met in 2015, started dating in 2016, got engaged in 2017, and were pregnant by 2018.

Dunst said in an interview with theLA Times, "We fell in love creatively first. He was like a creative soul mate to me and the way we both work. On Fargo I knew after two weeks. I didn’t remember saying this, but one of my best friends told me that I said to her that 'I will know this man for the rest of my life. I just know it.'" How sweet is that?! We're just obsessed with this sweet couple.

Like we mentioned before, the pair met while working together and fell in love with their respective creative and working styles so they are familiar with it.

Kirsten said in an interview with the LA Times, "We love working together. So, it’s really, really easy to work with each other. We’re very honest. We’re very down to try anything.

It makes sense that since they fell in love working together that it just comes naturally for the pair!

The pair have been nominated for many awards, but both of them were actually nominated for an Oscar for the first time together! They found out they were both nominated together via a phone call that Kirsten later recounted to Jesse. She recalls the conversation in an interview with Variety by saying, "Then I called Jesse, and I was the first person to tell him, and he was a little shell shocked. I mean, it’s just so crazy to be a couple and have our first nominations together. It’s like a storybook. You know what I mean? It’s so weird. It’s amazing." However, unfortunately the two haven't won any Academy Awards...yet!

We found it online. You know, on those baby websites where you just keep scrolling. We were like, ‘We like that. It sounds cool.’”

Today, they are still as in love as ever raising their 2 sweet kiddos. We love this sweet couple and can't wait to see what they get up to next!

Halloween's Come Early! "Scream 7" Is Officially On Its Way

Scream 6 was one of the hottest movies of 2023, and we've been looking forward to Scream 7 since the credits started rolling! I'm super excited to see Neve Campbell return as Sidney Prescott, but it also looks like Friends star Courteney Cox is in talks to return to the slasher franchise, too. Here's everything we know about the new movie.

Is Scream 7 confirmed?

Image via Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

Yes, Scream 7 is officially happening! After Scream 6 (which was released in March 2023) became the highest-grossing movie of the whole franchise, a sequel was announced in August of that year. Kevin Williamson, writer for the original 1996 Scream, will direct.

What year is Scream 7 coming out?

Image via Philippe Bossé/Paramount Pictures

We don't have a Scream 7 release date yet, but given the fact Scream 6 was greenlit in February 2022 and hit theaters in March 2023, we could see Scream 7 in 2025. Scream 6 was such a fun spring movie because outside of Halloween season, anytime around summer feels like the perfect time for a scary movie!

Is Sidney going to be in Scream 7?

Image via Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

Yes, Sidney Prescott will be in Scream 7! “Sidney Prescott is coming back!!!!” franchise lead Neve Campbell says on Instagram. “It’s always been such a blast and an honor to get to play Sidney in the ‘Scream’ movies. My appreciation for these films and for what they have meant to me, has never waned. I’m very happy and proud to say I’ve been asked, in the most respectful way, to bring Sidney back to the screen and I couldn’t be more thrilled.”

The actress was not involved in Scream 6 due to salary inequity. "As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to ‘Scream,'" she told Variety ahead of the sixth movie's release. "I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise."

Who else is in the cast of Scream 7?

Image via Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

In addition to Neve Campbell, we could also reportedly see Courteney Cox reprise her role as Gale Weathers, via Variety. However, we won't see onscreen sisters Melissa Barrera or Jenna Ortega in Scream 7. It was announced in November 2023 that Melissa would no longer star in the franchise following her posts on the Isreal-Hamas war, while Jenna's absence has been attributed to Wednesday season 2 scheduling conflicts.

What is Scream 7 going to be about?

Image via Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

We don't have an official plot for Scream 7 quite yet, but I'm feeling confident we'll see Sidney Prescott and (hopefully) Gale Weathers take down another Ghostface. Scream 6 co-writer Guy Busick has the sole writing credit on this new script, as well as Melissa Barrera's 2024 movieAbigail.
