Ok so we all seen it — every other week there’s some new beauty thing blowing up online, right? Some of them go viral on TikTok or Insta, and everyone’s like “omg this changed my skin!!” but then you try it and… meh.
But some products? Actually kinda worth it. Here’s a list of some trending beauty stuff that, tbh, do live up to the hype. Or at least close enough lol.
1. That Glow Serum Thing
You’ve probably already seen this — that one serum everyone’s using for the glass skin look. Like you put it on and suddenly your face look like you’re made of light or something
It’s got vitamin C and that other stuff… hyalur-something acid (you know the one). I tried it and ngl, my skin actually looked better in like a week. Not magic, but close.
Great for mornings, it’s not greasy at all and layers nice under makeup.
2. The Lip + Cheek + All The Things Balm
So there’s this balm stick thing (comes in cute lil tins too), and ppl are using it for everything. Lips, cheeks, even eyeshadow if you’re feeling lazy or just wanna do a 5-min face.
Super creamy, blends nice, and doesn’t feel gross or sticky. I keep one in my bag always now. Kinda gives you that flushed, “I woke up like this but hot” look
3. “Skinimalism” Moisturizer (Yes, That’s A Word Now)
Less products, more results — that’s the trend rn and honestly I’m here for it. This moisturizer is trending cause it’s simple, light, but still hella hydrating.
No strong smells or weird stuff. Just basic, but good. I use it morning and night now and my skin hasn’t freaked out once since.
If your skin hates everything (like mine), this might be the one.
4. That Viral Eye Cream With Caffeine
You seen this one right? That lil tube people tap under their eyes like it’s magic. And shocker — it kinda is???
It’s got caffeine or something in it and like, 10 mins later the puffiness goes down and you don’t look like you been awake crying all night lol. Dark circles still there a bit but not as bad.
It doesn’t burn or feel weird either, which is good for people with sensitive under-eyes (me ).
5. Clean Foundation That Doesn’t Feel Like Foundation
I hate heavy foundation. Like, hate it. So when this one started trending I didn’t expect much but I gave it a go and actually??? I love it.
It’s clean beauty, no parabens or blah blah, but the coverage is still decent and doesn’t slide off your face in 2 hours. Looks like skin but better, you know?
Also it doesn’t break me out which is a win.
Final Thoughts (Not Gonna Lie)
Look, not everything on TikTok is worth spending your rent money on lol. But these ones? Pretty solid. I’ve tried most of them and honestly they kinda do what they say. Don’t expect miracles overnight, but they make getting ready feel fun again.
Try a few, see what works. Everyone’s skin is different so what works for me might flop for you, but that’s just how it goes
