How many of you have been scrolling through your feed on TikTok and you end up seeing a bunch of creators reviewing the same products over and over again? I don’t know about you, but for me, I find it super hard to resist trying things that I see other people are raving about. So I’ve made some good and some not-so-good purchases over the past year based on what TikTok-ers think and I’ve decided to let you know my thoughts to help you make your own decisions on these trendy products!
#1 Dr. Jart Cicapair tm Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment (SPF 30)
Now this one was my first “big” purchase from TikTok. I’m sure you may have seen hundreds of beauty reviewers trying out this “green cream” and raving about how great of a job it does color correcting. So did I! So, what did I do? I darted over to Sephora and bought the stuff! For $50, no less.
Now this cream is a green to beige color correcting cream that is to correct blemishes and red spots on your skin and protect it from the environment. I will say, this product definitely does do that! However, I didn’t like the consistency or the way it felt on my skin for me to use this on a daily basis. The way it sat on my skin was like I was wearing an oily sun screen all day and while it definitely took the redness out of my skin, it couldn’t be used in place of foundation or the rest of my regular make-up. The smell of the product was also something I wasn’t a fan of, it has a distinct lemongrass smell that lasts all day. I’m not a fan of wearing scented product on my face – especially as a moisturizer. Because of the consistency of the product and the oiliness, it also caused me to break out, which doesn’t happen often for me with products and I don’t have sensitive skin.
So for me, this product was a miss. I would recommend this product to someone who has dry, blotchy skin and someone who doesn’t typically wear foundation or make-up, but wants to color correct.
L’Oreal Infallible 24HR Fresh Wear Foundation in a Powder
This was a simple purchase for me, as a long time user of L’Oreal’s liquid version of this foundation. I saw tons of reviews on TikTok about this powder foundation and figured I might as well give it a try. They’re about $15 so I bought 2 different shades, one to use when I’m a bit tanner and one to use on regular days.
I used to use powder foundations as a staple years ago, but switched to liquid, just because I really like the coverage of a liquid foundation and the way it feels and lays on my skin a lot better. But, I do keep a powder foundation laying around to grab on days where I want to just do a quick natural look. This foundation works great for that!
The coverage is a medium coverage, and it comes with an application sponge in the compact which I usually use to apply the product, but you can also use a brush. The powder goes on very smooth and sits on my skin well. I will say, that if you are someone who has dry skin – this wouldn’t be the product for you since it has a matte finish and may cause some creasing or patchiness. I have combination skin, so I mainly use this when I’m doing a lot of virtual meetings, not when I plan to be doing a lot of in-person communication.
Overall, I feel like L’Oreal really makes some great foundations both powder and liquid, so I would recommend this product and would definitely buy it again.
Cinema Secrets Professional Makeup Brush Travel Kit – Quick Drying Rinse-Free Formula
I will just start by saying this is my all-time favorite TikTok purchase so far! I am someone who hates cleaning my make-up brushes, and so I am always trying to find the absolute easiest way to do it. This stuff is freaking magic.
So, unlike the other two purchases above, I didn’t actually see 100 videos of the same product review to make me buy it, instead I saw this one girl use this stuff one time and I decided that I HAD to try it.
The kit I bought was a travel kit (small enough for me to just give it a try) and it came with the make-up brush cleaner and tin. I found it on Amazon, but I’m sure you can find it other places. The travel kit was $10. Once I got the product, I’m not going to lie, I was super skeptical because it’s kind of oily and has a similar consistency to nail polish remover. It also doesn’t have the best smell. It quickly made me change my mind!
All you need is to pour a little bit into the tin and twirl your brush around in the formula for a few seconds. Wipe the brush onto a towel to get the makeup and the cleaner out of the bristles and you’ll literally be amazed – the brushes looked brand new AND they were practically dry! In about 5 minutes all of my brushes were clean. I highly recommend this product.
More to come!

is great for toning skin/firming skin and helps with night time food cravings, 
and 
are great calming oils that are great for night time before bed. Lavender is also really good for the skin. 
is a great oil for practically every single thing, but it is also really good for the skin and stretch marks and any kind of imperfection of the skin. I drop about 4-6 drops onto my skin and rub it in. I notice that my skin is getting a little firmer and it definitely has become a part of my nightly routine if for no other reason than it smells great and is really relaxing.
: Lasting Finish – this is a great matte finish foundation. This is a liquid foundation that is full/medium coverage. My favorite part about this foundation is that it is a long lasting finish (25 hours according to the packaging). I can’t say that I’ve ever left it on my face for 25 whole hours, but it does definitely last all day while at work. This product contains a comfort serum, so it doesn’t feel like you’re wearing anything at all! I apply this foundation with a damp beauty blender and it goes on flawlessly.
: Simply Age Less – this foundation is a really great foundation if you’re looking for fuller coverage and something to moisturize your skin while hiding any flaws (aka wrinkles). I love how easy this is to apply, I use the little sponge that comes with it in the case and it glides right on. The formula dries to a demi-matte finish. This formula also contains sunscreen, so you are getting a ton of benefits other than just a great looking foundation when you wear this.
: Healthy Skin Compact Makeup – this foundation creates a great light coverage makeup look. I love how healthy this foundation makes my skin feel both while and also after I wear it. This formula does not dry to a matte finish, it does stay a bit moist on the skin, but it does also contain sunscreen. I apply this with either the sponge it comes with or a foundation brush in order to get even coverage, since it is not a full-coverage foundation. I recommend this foundation for a more natural makeup look.
: Colorstay Whipped – this foundation is by far one of my favorites for a total glam look. This is truly a full coverage foundation. It is a cream/whipped formula, so I apply with a foundation brush and/or with a damp beauty blender to get an even application. This formula is another 24 hour formula, and it definitely does last all day. Another positive about this foundation is that it seems to do a great job of hiding my pores, which is always a great added bonus!
: Positively Radiant Daily Cleansing Pads – these cleansing pads are amazing. They come in a tub of 28 pre-moistened pads. The pads have a softer, smoother side and a bumpy side to help exfoliate. When you wipe them on your face, they foam and create a small lather. All you need to do is rinse your face with water once you’re finished and you’re good to go! They’re super refreshing and my face feels so clean after I use them. They also contain salicylic acid, so they’re great for any blemishes too!
: Pore Penetration Charcoal Bar – I am in love with this product. I don’t typically go for bar soaps and especially not for a facial product. So, when I decided to purchase this product, I surprised myself! The thing that drew me to this product is that it contains Charcoal. You use it the same way you would any other bar soap: wet your face, run the soap under warm water, work up a lather in your hands, rub your hands on your face to apply the soap, and rinse! The product also contains peppermint, so there is a cool tingle that you’ll feel also. It leaves your skin feeling so clean and refreshed and not dry at all!
: Ultra Matte Lip in Chi – I have been loving this shade this month. It’s a nude brown color and on my skin tone it is basically a true brown. This is part of the KaePop line and I love to use this with the matching Lippie Pencil. This is one of the new formulas for the ColourPop liquid lips so it isn’t nearly as drying as the former colors. I think that’s one of the reasons I also really love it.
: On Guard – It’s cold and flu season, people! This month I’ve been using On Guard by doTerra to keep my immune system healthy and in shape. This is a proprietary blend of Clove, Cinnamon, Wild Orange, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary essential oils. I dab a drop on my wrist, rub both wrists together, and inhale. I typically apply before bed and it’s great to smell while falling asleep. It’s worked so far! I’ve managed to avoid the colds and flus that have been going around, so I plan to keep using it!
: Mint Candy Apple – this color is one of my absolute favorite Spring/Summer shades! This is a super cute mint blue/green color that just pops.
is a true yellow gold color. Hanky Panky is a matte taupe shade that is a great transition color or for a natural “no makeup” look. Blaze is a darker brown shimmer with yellow glitter that shines beautifully. So Quiche is a grey-brown color that has gorgeous purple shimmer within it.
, which is hands-down my absolute favorite ColorPop shade. It is a brown bronze color with shimmers of red and yellow gold, which are beautiful in different lighting. 
is a darker bronze brown color with yellow, green, and red glitter. 
is a darker brown color, great for a smoky eye look and has red and green glitter as well. Lace is a deep purple with beautiful purple-toned glitter. Envy is a dark black with gorgeous purple glitter.
: LipLacquer in Morocco
Olive Oil Eye Cream: Anti-ageing & Hydrating
: Precision Ink eye liner
: Make Me Brow eyebrow gel mascara
. I love this toothpaste because I feel like it truly works. The Pro-Health line from Crest has been a go-to of mine for quite a while because these products provide so many benefits and cover so much ground in mouth-cleaning that it’s hard for me to not keep buying them. I’ve also been using the mouthwash that I guess goes with it – the 
(the name is a mouthful!). These mouthwashes are great because they don’t burn after 3 seconds like other brands I’ve used do (like Listerine), yet I still feel like it’s working and killing all of the disgusting mouth germs!
& Cleanser. This is a new product from Garnier Fructis. It’s so amazingly simple to use (which as I mentioned, I’m all about!). All you have to do is shake it up, and pour it a little bit on a cotton pad and swipe it all over your face – you’d be amazed at the amount of makeup your makeup remover pads leave behind! I use the one that removes even waterproof mascara.
– it’s a bit pricey, but you don’t use it every day and it makes your hair super healthy and shiny. The best part is it’s all natural and it also contains essential oils, which makes it even more incredible. I am also loving OGX 
shampoo. This is another great organic shampoo that adds lots of volume and great vitamins to your hair. For conditioner I’m using another OGX product, 
conditioner. This conditioner smells amazing and I just love how soft it makes my hair.
Style Prep. I dry my hair with my hair dryer and then spray this product in before I use my flat iron to straighten it. I feel like not only does it add a layer of protection from the heat, but it also definitely helps with keeping my curls straight and sleek all day long.
Foundation. This is a medium to full-coverage foundation and it’s totally buildable. Of course, if you’ve read any of my recent posts, you already know that I’m totally obsessing over ColourPop products at the moment, so my current eye products consist of their SuperShock Eye Shadows – 
in Noir. I love this eye liner because it’s waterproof, so it doesn’t wear off your waterline like other liners do, and it goes on super smooth. For Mascara, again, if you read my Top 5 Mascara post (link to post 
. I wouldn’t necessarily call this a February favorite as much as an all-time favorite, but still I just love it so much I added it in here anyhow. For my bronzer I am loving Pur Minerals 
. This is a pressed powder bronzer and it is super pigmented and has just the right amount of shimmer. My highlighter, I just received in my last ColourPop haul (link to post 
. This product is great. I put it on at night and go to sleep and when I wake up in the morning, my lips feel renewed and refreshed.
Hand Cream. It smells like baby powder and lightly like vanilla – I guess like Cashmere? But the way it makes your hands feel is incredible! I don’t know about you, but in the winter my hands get super dry and no one wants old lady hands, so get some cream on those bad boys! I recommend using this one :).
