If you’ve ever watched Lily Collins on screen and thought, “How does her skin look like that?”, you’re not alone. The actress has a complexion that practically glows from within, the kind that looks effortless even under harsh studio lighting. And while great genes certainly play a part, one of the real secrets lives inside a very unassuming tube of French face cream.

Collins’ makeup artist, Aurelie Payen, has pulled back the curtain on one of her go-to products for getting the Emily in Paris actress camera-ready. Payen used Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Daily Face Moisturizer to achieve what she described as a “perfect fresh and healthy glow,” as reported by Get The Gloss. That phrase alone is enough to make anyone reach for their credit card, but the best part? This cult-favorite moisturizer is only $20 on Amazon — yes, really!

They never know what skin type they’ll be working on next, and Embryolisse doesn’t let them down.

Over 20,000 Amazon shoppers give the French face cream glowing reviews, so don’t just take Collins’ word for it!

“This is a quality, versatile product that makes my skin look like I had a facial,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I use it as a moisturizer and enjoy the way it primes my skin for makeup. My skin is combination and the formula does not clog my pores, instead, it seems to erase them. I love that you can use it to cleanse your skin, which makes it a good multi-tasker for travel. It is gentle enough to be used around your eyes, too. The scent is delicious and the product is light and creamy.”

One of the funnier scenes ever to make it into a movie happens in the classic Chevy Chase/Dan Aykroyd comedy Spies Like Us. The duo, playing inept spies, arrives at a Doctors Without Borders camp, and all it takes for them to convince the people there that they belong is to call everyone “Doctor” over and over and over again. It’s a fun, silly way of poking fun at pretentious PhDs and also the limited intelligence of our heroes.

Now imagine that sixty-second scene stretched over sixty minutes, played seriously instead of as a joke, and with Chevy Chase’s character replaced by a badly rendered miniature reindeer in a top hat. That’s what happens in season 2 episode 7 of Netflix’s pirate adventure show One Piece. Aptly titled “Reindeer Shames,” it may be the single worst hour of programming ever released on streaming, and somehow it’s the penultimate episode of the streamer’s new flagship show.

Having not seen episode 7 yet, and having previously enjoyed season one and all six previous episodes of season 2, I’d been recklessly recommending One Piece to everyone I know. Now, not only am I rescinding that recommendation, I’m not sure I have the strength to continue on and watch the second season’s final episode.

One Piece Fans Waited More Than Two Years For Time Wasting Filler

A quick positioning statement: I love anime and watch a lot of it. Like 99% of the people watching the Netflix show, though, I’ve never watched the anime version of One Piece. I’ve avoided it largely because there are thousands of episodes, and that seems daunting, but also because even its most ardent defenders often admit that many of those episodes are actually time-wasting filler.

The One Piece anime’s predilection towards time-wasting filler episodes may explain the presence of “Reindeer Shames” on the Netflix version, the plot of which involves none of the show’s actual cast. The story also has basically nothing to do with any of the narratives being developed in the rest of the season.

That might be an acceptable side trip in a series with thousands of episodes, but in the modern era of lazy streaming production, we only get eight episodes every two or three years instead of an annual two-dozen. Wasting one of those precious episodes on anything not directly relevant to what’s happening on the show would be a bad idea, even if it were somehow good. When it’s this bad, it feels almost criminal.

A Blatant Cost-Cutting Measure From Netflix

“Reindeer Shames” tells the story of a Doctor on the run in a country where Doctors are being rounded up for weird anime doctor-hoarding reasons. The Doctor encounters a tiny, talking reindeer who looks like he just fell off a Toys R Us plushy shelf during the Christmas holiday rush of 1997. Or he would look like that if the CGI used to animate him didn’t also look like it came from 1997.

It seems clear that at least part of Netflix’s motivation in making this episode was as a cost-cutting measure. The show’s other episodes look fantastic, with high-level special effects and large-scale action sequences. However, “Reindeer Shames” largely takes place in either an unremarkable bush or a single hut and offers only a few, half-hearted seconds of action at the end. And again, it doesn’t involve any of the show’s actual cast, which probably means Netflix only paid them for seven episodes while still producing eight. 

Netflix Has Opened Its Own Learing Center

This has all the earmarks of a scam. Making your subscription-paying audience wait two and a half years for eight episodes and then cheaping out on one of them is the streaming version of a Minnesota Learning Center. 

The talking reindeer is named Chopper, and I’m told by Jonathan Klotz, who I consider an expert in all One Piece matters, that this character is a beloved figure in the animated version of this tale. Maybe he’ll grow into that over the course of Netflix’s live-action series, assuming the awfulness of this outing doesn’t cause the show to be canceled. Still, he’s garbage in this episode, and plays out like a clumsy, half-baked attempt to create the next Baby Yoda in a world where everyone’s sick to death of Baby Yodas. 

Stop Watching One Piece Unless Supervised By A Doctor

Instead of delivering the kind of pirate adventure One Piece viewers are tuned in for, the episode meanders around, fixating on endless speeches about how amazing and important Doctors are. Doctor this and Doctor that, and oh, aren’t Doctors incredible angels who totally aren’t doing this job just because they like buying Corvettes and hanging out at country clubs. 

Sitting through “Reindeer Shames” made me wish One Piece was on YouTube instead of Netflix, so it could be interrupted by an Incogni ad. In that worse-than-streaming-sponsorships environment, I guess Chopper, since he isn’t a Doctor and only wants to be one, is the least worst thing about it. That’s a hopeful point for his continued Doctor presence on the show, which seems like something I’ll have to endure if I ever again work up the doctor-like courage to watch another One Piece episode. I probably won’t, at least not without the supervision of a Doctor.

“REINDEER SHAMES” REVIEW SCORE

Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen’s ongoing issues have not only caused production on season 5 of Hulu’s “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” to shut down, but their mental stability is also now coming into question.

Per new reports, the exes and parents to son Ever, have been ordered for mental health evaluation following a domestic violence incident between the two.

Taylor Frankie Paul And Dakota Mortensen Reportedly Ordered To Undergo Psych Evaluations Following Domestic Violence Incident

According to TMZ, Mortensen has called the Utah Division of Child and Family Services multiple times alleging Paul has been physically abusive to their son, allegations that Paul vehemently denies. 

Per the outlet, in late February, the constantly feuding exes got into a verbal altercation while inside Mortensen’s car after Paul reportedly spilled a drink. Inside sources shared that Mortensen became “enraged” and “got physical” with Paul, however, he called the police and told them that she was the one who assaulted him. 

Following the incident, a source close to Paul told TMZ that Mortensen disappeared for weeks and ditched filming, which led to production being put on pause. However, sources with “Mormon Wives” said that filming stopped because cast members refused to film amid the domestic violence and child abuse allegations, despite production wanting to continue filming season 5. 

Additionally, due to Mortensen repeatedly calling DCFS on Paul, alleging abuse, both are now required to undergo psychological evaluations. 

When production on “Mormon Wives” resumes, it has not been decided what capacity, if any, Mortensen will be part of the show.

Domestic Violence Incident Revealed To Be Cause Of ‘Mormon Wives’ Shut Down

Shortly after reports surfaced that “Mormon Wives” season 5 had shut down production, new details emerged revealing it was due to an incident between Paul and Mortensen.

According to PEOPLE,  the Draper City Police Department confirmed to the outlet that an open “domestic assault investigation” exists between Paul and Mortensen. Per the police department’s spokesperson, “allegations have been made in both directions” and “contact was made with involved parties on [Feb] 24th and 25th.” 

An inside source connected to “Mormon Wives” confirmed the production pause. “They are not filming,” the source said. “Taylor [Frankie Paul] has some pretty serious stuff happening regarding her past, and they will see what happens. Until that resolves, they are off.”

Things are reportedly so serious that Paul’s fellow #MomTok members have all distanced themselves from her. “None of the women want to be associated with her,” the source told the outlet.

Paul and Mortensen were previously involved in a domestic violence incident in 2023 that resulted in her arrest, but the charges in the case were later dropped.

Ahead Of Her ‘Bachelorette’ Debut, Taylor Frankie Paul And Ex Dakota Mortensen Involved In Altercation

On Monday, March 16, per TMZ, inside sources from “Mormon Wives” told the outlet that a heated altercation between Paul and Mortensen grinded production for season 5 to a halt. 

Sources further added that production on the show is “taking the matter seriously and handling with caution.”

Paul Admitted Season 4 Of The Show Was ‘Extremely Hard’ To Watch

In an Instagram post, following the release of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” season 4, Taylor Frankie Paul revealed the difficulties of filming the season.

“I for the first time sat down and watched this season, and it was extremely hard to do,” Paul began in the caption of the post. “These aren’t just story lines, these are our actual lives we are sharing. I’ll speak for myself on this, I’m not sharing to appease or switch ‘story lines’ for anyone’s entertainment.” 

“A big reason I continue on is to potentially help someone,” she continued. “I know this because I’ve personally watched and listened to people’s experience and it helped me. Takes courage to share such vulnerable topics with an audience. My heart goes out to those around me that share and everyone else that continue to do so the hugs will always outweigh the hate for me.”

Will #MomTok Survive This?

“Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” was greenlit due to Taylor Frankie Paul’s scandalous love life, via a viral “soft swinging” scandal that ultimately ended her first marriage, and production continued even when she was arrested for domestic violence.

Many members of #MomTok continue to be granted big opportunities that take them away from the group’s origins of influencers making content together. Could this and Taylor’s latest incident be the beginning of a permanent shift?

Fans will have to wait to find out if the show’s frequently uttered phrase, “Will #MomTok survive this?” Result in the end of the group or make them stronger?
