Lando Calrissian Steals The Show in Star Wars “Solo” Trailer

While I  don’t regret having skipped the Super Bowl this year (Go Giants!), I do bemoan the fact that I didn’t take to Twitter as soon as the teaser for the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story teaser trailer because, boy, were people excited and it only increased as the full trailer dropped this morning! But it wasn’t over the seeing the Millennium Falcon take off with the young Han Solo (Alden Ehrenreich) at the helm, it was the first peek of Donald Glover (who had put production on the second season of his show, Atlanta, on hold for) as the suave smuggler Lando Calrissian. 

And it wasn’t hard to see why, as the teaser featured the Glover draped in a fur coat (thankfully not Wookie fur or that would’ve been awkward), confidently smiling and posing for a slew of camera flashes, a similar attitude that many fans were hoping to see from the movie’s title character in the clip.  And even as the full trailer was unleashed and we got to see Calrissian look terrified alongside Solo and Chewie as they navigate through a tangle of tentacles. But those tiny snippets were enough to send fans into a frenzy, taking to Twitter to not only share excitement but plenty of memes as well.

Here’s How to Get NYX’s New Mascara — for Free!

My mom has always said, “If it’s f-r-e-e, it’s for me!” And when it comes to scoring free product samples, every beauty buff would agree. So you might want to clear out tomorrow’s morning schedule now for what NYX Professional Makeup has up its sleeve.

This Saturday, February 3rd, NYX will be giving away free (yep, free, not as a “gift with purchase”) tubes of its brand new Worth the Hype Volumizing and Lengthening mascara. All you need to bring is an old tube of mascara, regardless of the brand, from your own kit to swap for the fresh lash enhancer. The only catch is that you can’t just drop by your local Walgreens in order to get in on the free swag. You’ll have to be one of the first 100 to head over to a participating NYX store in order to snap up the full-sized sample while supplies last. (You can find out where the closest retailer is to you right here.)

But even if you don’t have a chance to score the freebie, there’s no need to lash out! According to Glamour, the stores will also offer free beauty tutorials to help your lash-building technique to celebrate the launch of the new makeup must. Plus, you can still pick the mascara for less than $10 as well as anything else from NYX you might want without much worry about breaking the bank. Sounds like a win to me!

Let me know if you manage to snatch one of up for yourselves in the comments below or tag me on Insta!
