If you are like me and cannot stop scrolling on TikTok for all the new beauty trends, then you know that the popular social media app is infamous for making products go viral and showing viewers all the hidden gems. Over the last few months, these five products have been all over my FYP (for you page) with glowing reviews from the biggest accounts., After trying them all out myself, it is safe to say you NEED every single one!

1. L’Oreal Paris Infallible up to 24h Fresh Wear Powder Foundation

The L’Oreal Paris Infallible collection never misses and after the collection’s liquid foundation went viral on TikTok, the hype was brought to the powder version. The powder foundation is currently trending because of the flawless, skin-like airbrushed finish it gives in only a few seconds. It is perfect for those with oily or combination skin looking for an affordable foundation with excellent coverage. The foundation comes in a compact with its own application sponge and can be found in almost any drugstore. Join the trend and grab yours during your next grocery run!

2. Revlon Oil-Absorbing Roller

Is excess oil ruining your makeup? For the moments where you are a little too shiny, Revlon has your back with the perfect product for on-the-go blotting. The Revlon Oil-Absorbing Roller is a great tool for when you want to eat a glazed donut but not look like one! The small roller is easy to carry in your backpack around campus or to pop in your purse for nights out. All you do is roll it over any oily spots and you are good to go. It is super easy to clean and is also much more environmentally friendly than blotting paper!

3. NYX Shine Loud Pro Pigment Lip Shine

The NYX Shine Loud Pro Pigment Lip Shine has been taking TikTok by storm. The dual-sided lip product comes with a super pigmented and long-wearing liquid lipstick on one side and a super shiny gloss on the other. It is infamous for its lack of transfer and insanely long-lasting ability. This viral product is kiss-proof, drink proof and anything proof because the only way to thoroughly remove it is with micellar water. NYX offers an unbeatable selection of colours ranging from royal blue to classic reds, so there is a colour for everybody. With a $15 price point, the NYX Shine Loud Pro Pigment Lip Shine is worth every penny as it delivers on its promise for a super long-lasting, pigmented glossy lip.

4. Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizing Hot Air Brush

The Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Volumizing Hot Air Brush has been going viral for its ability to give you salon-quality blowouts for an affordable price. The famous hairdryer and brush is known for its ability to deliver a gentle and effortless blowout completed with shine. It is easy to carry around and heats up magically fast. Oh, and did I mention it has nearly twenty thousand reviews on Amazon averaging at 4.5 stars? This is a sign to grab yours ASAP and treat yourself to beautiful voluminous hair (but with ease)!

5. First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant

This exfoliant is a need if you are somebody who shaves. It helps improve the appearance of strawberry skin which is common if you continuously shave. Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is known to appear on the back of arms and legs, and First Aid Beauty’s KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant has been proven to significantly improve the appearance of KP through ingredients like salicylic acid. It is great for all skin types, including sensitive, and has a whopping 5 stars on Sephora. It’s the perfect scrub for clear, smooth skin.

TikTok is known for its ability to bring beauty products to fame and for good reason. I absolutely love every single product on this list, and I would not have known they existed without TikTok! Hopefully, you found one you want to add to your beauty routine too.
