I love to try out viral makeup and skincare products and see if the products are worth the hype! I find myself saving TikTok videos that beauty influencers recommend! As the weather becomes colder, I tend to switch up the products that I use. In the summer, I use less face makeup than in the winter. Below are some of my current favorites that I have been wearing this fall!

ELTAMD UV DAILY SUNSCREEN

I love this sunscreen because when applied to the face, it is clear. There is no greasy or oily feel, which is a huge plus for me since I tend to have oily skin. My dermatologist recommended this sunscreen and I use it every day! Although this is a bit pricy compared to drugstore sunscreens, I highly recommend investing in a high-quality sunscreen. Your skin will thank you in years to come! You can buy this sunscreen on Amazon and thedermstore.com!

Elf halo glow filter

I love Elf’s Halo Glow because it is only $14 compared to the more expensive Flawless Filter from Charlotte Tilbury. I love that this is not a foundation because I simply want a glowy tint that will leave my skin looking healthy and vibrant. This product evens out my complexion and it is budget-friendly too! I also like the shade range as well, which gives customers many options to choose from.

elf hydrating Camo concealer

I love pairing the Halo Glow with Elf’s Hydrating Camo Concealer, because this concealer is only $7 and is full coverage. It also provides hydration so that your under-eyes do not look flaky and dry. I also love how creamy and mailable the formula is! I also like the applicator and how it is jumbo-sized, but the product itself is still compact so it is easy to travel with!

L’oreal lumi glotion

I really like using L’Oreal’s Lumi Glotion because this product gives more of a tan glow, similar to Drunk Elephant’s Bronze Drops. I like how the bottle is easy to travel with and it gives me that glowy base to wear alone or underneath makeup. And the best part is that is only $14 at Target! I usually use this product daily, usually more than the Halo Glow, since it is lighter coverage and feel to the skin.

nyx fat oil lip drip

I am obsessed with NYX’s lip oil because it is only $9 sold at Ulta Beauty! This lip oil is the exact dupe for the Dior Lip oil, which is $40 at Sephora. The lip oil does not feel sticky and glides on so smoothly! It also comes in a variety of colors, and it adds the perfect tint without feeling heavy! I also like how there are many shades to this line of lip oils – there is even a clear one too! This lip oil is tiny but, has a large applicator which is perfect for getting the product on in one swipe. This lip oil is super easy to travel with too!

I hope this article is a fun read for those beauty lovers like myself! I always love testing out viral makeup products to see if they are actually worth the hype! I would love to hear people’s thoughts on the products I recommended!
