Here are my REAL reviews of items I love from TikTok shop! I’ve tried all these products so that you don’t have to.

1. honey glow turmeric soap

For my bacne girlies, this soap was the one thing that got rid of my body acne. You can use this as a face mask as well to decrease redness and hyperpigmentation from acne scars. It helped brighten my skin and reduce the visibility of prior acne spots.

2. AFrican Net Sponge

Coupled with the turmeric soap, this net can work wonders for your skin. If I don’t use this in the shower, I don’t feel clean. You don’t know what it feels like to be clean till you’ve exfoliated your body with this. WARNING: African net sponges are only real if they have the knots in them!!

3. Sunset Lamp

I am usually pretty suspicious of the lights breaking, but this one has been in use for over a year and is perfectly fine. It was only a couple of dollars and comes in multiple colors! They definitely transform your room and look a lot classier than LED lights on the wall.

4. Leather Jacket

Everyone always thinks I’m wearing a super expensive leather jacket, but it’s just this one. I love how a leather jacket can elevate your look, especially in the cold months. This is perfect for a night out with the girls or a date night!

5. under Desk treadmill

If for whatever reason you can’t get out to the gym, this is a great alternative. Anytime I feel like I have too much homework, or even if I’m just having social anxiety about going to work out, I’ll just use this as I watch TV or study.

6. Bodysuit shapewear

THIS BODYSUIT SNATCHES ME SO GOOD!!! Genuinely makes my body tea; I cannot recommend it enough. I bought this in red, but I honestly think it looks good in any color.

7. WaVYtalk hair crimper

If I had a dollar for every time someone complimented by hair after using this crimper, I could have paid it off by now. This is very easy to use and pretty cheap!!

8. NEEDOH stress ball

I didn’t know I needed this until I had it. I am not a huge fidget toy person, but I thought I would try this out, and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s so satisfying to squeeze while working or in class.

9. AIRYcute Beauty Lash Clusters

I was devastated when UCoolMe stopped selling lash clusters. Nothing will ever replace UCoolMe lashes, but these are a close second. Easy application, durable, and cute – what else do you need?!

10. Formal Dress

You don’t need to spend 100+ dollars to have a nice dress for formal events. This dress looks classy and elegant for under $50. The fabric feels pretty high quality and is super flattering.

@dj.foof

i need every color of this dress.
