1. Kiss Salon Acrylic Press-On Nails
We’re no longer dropping major $$$ on our nails. The allure for press-on nails is rising again and these Kiss picks are proof. The nude tips mimic the exact ones you get at the nail salon, minus the hefty price tag and time commitment. All you’ll need to do is glue them on your natural nails in half the time and marvel at the finish.
2. Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand
Whether creators are raving about the Magic Cream, the Flawless Filter Foundation or the Pinkgasm, it’s hard to choose one Charlotte Tilbury product to share on TikTok. However, the Hollywood Contour Wand is a key contender. The soft applicator sculpts and defines your features. Plus, the lightweight formula is blendable and buildable for a casual or dramatic style.
3. Peter Thomas Roth Instant FirmX Temporary Eye Tightener
There’s viral, and then there’s TikToker @trinidad1967’s video review. Her take on the instant eye lift from Peter Thomas Rother’s eye tightener got over five million likes and over 34 million views on the platform. Watch in real-time as the product tightens, firms and smooths her under-eyes. The secret? Its unique formula features silicates, seaweed and peptides that provide a quick turnaround in results.
4. Vaseline
Slugging is the latest skincare trend to sweep the platform, and Vaseline has been the go-to product to join the craze. While using the jelly has been a household staple for years, it’s gaining traction for softer, smoother and more hydrated skin.
5. Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
One word: Glow. This Dior lip oil is not playing around with its glossy finish. Try popular shades like “Mahogany” and “Rosewood” to enhance your natural lip color with one swipe. It’s formulated with cherry oil to nourish, protect and soften your pout. Plus, you can forget about it feeling greasy or sticky, which is a major selling point on TikTok.
6. Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Eau de Parfum
If you’re going to splurge on a beauty item, let it be the Maison Francis Kurkdjian perfume. In the words of one creator, “This perfume will literally live in your head rent-free for the rest of your life until you buy it because this is the most amazing perfume I’ve ever smelled in my life.” The scent in question is a blend of amber, jasmine and cedarwood notes that’ll feel like you’re in the streets of Paris.
7. Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey
Would you believe us if we told you this lipstick was launched in the ‘70s? Yup, the iconic Clinique product has recently made a comeback on the platform, specifically in the “Black Honey” shade. Almost 60+ years later and the tinted lip balm is still a fan favorite. It’s designed to enhance your natural lip tone and keep your pout plumped for the rest of the day.
8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze
Soap brows are here to stay. This styling wax is taming and sculpting everyone’s brows on TikTok. Creator @6kenza made the process look effortless as she glided the spoolie across her brow. The wax formula lifts and shapes without leaving a stiff, flakey finish. Hello, feathery brows.
9. Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush
Simply put: The Fenty Beauty cream blush collection is a winner. The purple shade (aka “Drama Cla$$”) is always selling out, but don’t disregard the other nine shades. The creamy texture allows a natural, non-greasy finish and a buildable capability to take your look up a notch. But whether you score the popular hue or not, there’s a shade out there ready to complement your skin tone.
10. CTZN Cosmetics Nudiversal Lip Duo
This 2-in-1 lip product is giving you the best of both worlds. You can rock a matte, glossy or combination of the two with one item. It’s formulated with mango butter to make every application smooth, moisturizing and soft. Choose between 21 shades with popular picks like “Mykonos” and “Stockholm”.
11. Danessa Myricks Infinite Chrome Flakes
Are you ready to make a bold statement? These chrome flakes are pigmented with a capital P. As seen on Victoria Lyn, the water-based gel swipes on the lid smoothly and makes any eye look pop. It’s recommended to put on a base shade and use a flat brush to really show off the vibrant shade.
12. CoverGirl Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation
We were ahead of the game when we raved about this foundation and we’re glad TikTok is taking note. The CoverGirl find provides a dewy coverage that’s lightweight and nourishing on the skin. The milky coconut and aloe blend gives a glowing and moisture boost while evening out your skin tone.
13. Innisfree Dewy Glow Jelly Cream
This gel moisturizer aims to hydrate, soothe and brighten your skin. It’s formulated with cherry blossom, niacinamide and glycerin that’s smooth upon application. Once massage onto the skin, you’ll have a dewy and a natural glow all day.
14. Cosrx Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence
Yes, snail mucin is skincare’s secret weapon. While the thought of snail secretion puzzles the FYP, it does hold a few benefits for every skincare concern. If you deal with dryness, dullness or irritation, this essence can be essential in your routine. For creator @theskincarelab, it calmed down her eczema flares in over three months. Sounds like a smart buy to us.
15. Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush
Multiple PureWow editors swear by this hair tool, so we’re not surprised it blew up on TikTok. And as if we weren’t already swayed by our coworkers’ glowing endorsements, this video of a user giving herself an at-home blowout totally sold us on it.
16. The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
According to InStyle, more than 52,000 people bought The Ordinary’s AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution after seeing how well it cleared up user @kaelynwhitee’s skin.

38. Paula's Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant
TikTokers like @woojungyi can't say enough good things about adding this exfoliant to your skincare. Its key ingredient (BHA) is a triple threat: It'll minimize pores, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and brighten dull skin.

42. Tree Hut Coconut Lime Shea Sugar Scrub
Tree Hut's sugar scrubs have been on the top of list when it comes to having the at-home spa of your dreams.
