33 Beauty Products You'll Honestly Be Mad You Didn't Know About Before Now
Kuumba Made's $11 Vanilla Bean fragrance roll-on and Golden Sky roll-on — the first is a "true vanilla" that layers with other scents like a dream, whereas Golden Sky is a decadent blend of vanilla, rose, and amber that does all the layering for you. These are potent, super long-lasting, and oh-so-delicious ... hence why TikTok keeps selling them out. 😬
L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a FAST-acting, anti-redness moisturizer with results that feel like legitimate magic — especially considering its competitor, the Dr Jart+ Cicapair Color Correcting Cream, is over twice as expensive. Reviewers especially love this as a base for their makeup, because it leaves skin super soft and primed.
Olay Super Serum Body Wash that will make anyone with dry or dull skin REJOICE — this is packed with niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides to nourish your skin for 24-hour hydration that will make you feel ~luminous~. (Psst — this is the body wash version of their TikTok-famous, super effective facial Super Serum, so you KNOW they mean business.)
Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail — now in four shades! — for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference.
And a firming eye cream that uses vitamin C, vitamin E, rose hip seed oil, and hibiscus flower extract to brighten and firm that sensitive skin around your eyes and neck not just on a day-to-day basis, but a long-term one, too.
Mixsoon's Bean Essence, a TikTok-beloved K-beauty staple for exfoliating and hydrating that anyone chasing the ~glass skin~ look will want to know about immediately. You can use this as a low-maintenance, high results exfoliant by massaging it into your skin two to three times a week for a smoother, brighter, more even complexion.

Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in *PINK* Honey — aka, the sweet, subtle sister of the iconic "Black Honey" that has been so popular over the past few decades that it just about broke TikTok when it finally had its moment over there. The skin tone-matching, pH-adaptive pink version is every bit as buildable, polished, and decadent feeling as the original black honey, and perfect for everyday makeup looks.
E.l.f's Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required.
And E.l.f.'s Pro Eyelash Curler, aka your secret lash weapon — mascaras are all well and good, but this contoured, gentle, super effective curler is what is gonna get you that BIG lash drama your eyeballs crave.

Reviewers love that these stay PUT and can be reused over and over with the proper care.
MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, which lives up to its name and THEN some — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use.
A USB-rechargeable portable water flosser that gets the job done just as effectively without having to lug a planet-size device in your bag. A lot of reviewers love the small profile of this gizmo so much they use it as as every day one at home, too!
Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment, the holy grail of curly hair products — you can either use it as a conditioning treatment, or wear it all day in your curls both to style and condition for all-day hair repair. Reviewers swear by it for healthier, bouncier, more well-defined curls, and love how gently it helps detangle, too.
Londontown "Nail Veil" Protectant, which is designed not only to protect your nails, but to act as a sheer tint to enhance their natural look. It's basically "no makeup makeup," but for your fingernails.
A deliciously soothing, super gentle Briotech spray reviewers compare to the pricier Tower 28 SOS Spray. It's similarly designed with hypochlorous acid, which targets bacteria that causes acne, skin irritation, and blemishes *without* drying your skin. Reviewers swear by this handy little spray for helping not just with acne, but rosacea, eczema, dryness, dermatitis (scalp included!), and even toenail fungus.

Aloderma Organic Aloe Vera Gel for your WHOLE body — this packs such an "all-purpose" moisturizing, skin-calming punch that reviewers swear by it for everything from healing cracked, dry skin to helping calm rosacea and sunburns to tackling dandruff that even prescription meds wouldn't touch. GO, LITTLE MOISTURIZER, GO!!
First Aid Beauty's Facial Radiance Pads, a set of compostable (!!) beauty prep pads you can use before putting on makeup to gently tone and exfoliate your skin, making it the ultimate primer for getting the most out of your foundation. Bonus — unlike a lot of toning products, these are super gentle and sensitive skin-friendly!
Medicube Deep Vitamin C Golden Capsule Face Moisturizer for a K-beauty staple that's almost a little *too* fun to use — it comes with liposome capsules you can pop on your skin, helping oxidize, brighten, and smooth your complexion with the added burst of concentrated vitamin C and niacinamide. This is designed to have both instant *and* lasting results, with many reviewers noting an immediate difference in skin's radiance after the first use!
A Benzene-free, travel-friendly applicator of I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder so easy to use that you can just dab it on your hairline and rub it in for an instant, oil-absorbing refresh. Now your "no wash" days are a secret that you and your roots will never tell 👀.
Nyx's Lip IV Hydrating Gloss Serum for anyone who's ever been like, "It's too bad lip gloss, lip stain, and lip balm can't have a glamorous, long-lasting, moisturizing baby." Turns out they CAN! And it comes with 12 hours of hydration to boot!
Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette as an $8 alternative to the $88 (!!) Makeup Forever Palette.

Joesoef's pharmaceutical-grade anti-acne sulfur soap that people with acne, rosacea, dermatitis, and clogged pores swear by for helping clear their skin and relieve the tenderness. A lot of reviewers noted that they found this specific product after their dermatologists recommended it to them!
A bottle of callus-removing gel so effective at sloughing off dead, hardened skin that one reviewer described it as, "Horrifically satisfying." It's also super easy — you presoak your feet, apply for five minutes, and rub a pumice stone or foot file on the calluses and corns to watch them effortlessly slide off.
An "Exfoliate & Glow" scrub mitt for that oh-so-squeaky clean sensation that comes with sloughing off dead skin. No, for real — one reviewer saw all the dead skin left in their shower floor and dubbed themselves a "Lizard Person" after shedding it. This is great for helping even out skin texture and tone, preventing ingrown hairs, calming keratosis pilaris, and removing self-tanner, too!
Plus a bar soap bag, which is the ultimate hack not just to exfoliate your skin with your favorite bar soaps, but to *really* get your money's worth out of them — these produce much richer lather so a little goes a loooong way, and you won't have to replace your bars as often.

You can apply a few drops of this serum to your skin before moisturizing at morning and night for noticeable results in as soon as a few weeks.
A hair identifier spray to make shaving or dermaplaning *that* much more efficient — this not only highlights where your hair is so you don't miss a spot, but also moisturizes and protects skin while you're shaving.

Dog Decides To Leash-Train Older Sibling on Walk, Viewers Left in Hysterics
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Internet users can't cope with a dog trying to leash-train his brother and taking the responsibility incredibly seriously. Dog owner Hayley Walker shared a hilarious video on TikTok (@hayleywalkerrrr) of her doodle dog Saint doing his best to leash-train Chance, his older brother. During their walk in San Francisco, California, the clip shows Saint holding Chance's leash in his mouth and trying to guide him where (and where not) to go. As hard as Chance tried to sniff the trees and the flower beds on the sidewalk, Saint was having none of it. The black dog repeatedly pulled at his brother's leash and stopped him from exploring further. The footage has gone viral as TikTok users can't get enough of Saint's strict tone that he set for his sibling. The video has generated over 379,900 views and more than 68,400 likes at the time of writing. Newsweek has contacted Walker via TikTok for comment. We could not verify the details of the video. The caption alongside the clip says: "Saint takes loose leash training very seriously." Walking on a leash doesn't come naturally to dogs, and they need to be taught how to do so properly, albeit, usually by their owner. The website PetMD says that leash training keeps a dog safe in public, can prevent leash reactivity, and also allows pups to go more places with their owner if they are conditioned to being on a leash. Before training begins, the canine should be able to wear its harness, collar, and leash indoors to get accustomed to it. Wearing them during playtime and when given treats will build positive associations, as highlighted by the American Kennel Club (AKC). Practicing inside is a great way for the dog to feel what the leash is like, without the distractions of cars or other people. Eventually, canines will be ready to test their skills outside, which will bring new smells, sights, and encounters into the equation. For dogs who pull on the leash, the AKC suggests standing still and refusing to move until they come back. For a canine who lunges, redirect their attention with a treat before they have the opportunity to lunge at something you know triggers them, such as a cyclist or car.

Any time Saint wanted to assert his authority, he would stop walking and tug on Chance's leash to show him how it is done properly. When Saint is in charge, there are no shortcuts or lapses in judgment permitted. He certainly "runs a tight ship," as Walker wrote on TikTok. Since the video went viral, internet users have lauded the canine's scrupulous training methods, leading to more than 340 comments on the post so far. Indeed, many social-media users even suggested that Saint could make a career out of this as a no-fuss dog trainer. One comment reads: "He said don't embarrass me, we walk like this." Another TikTok user wrote: "Better at training than me and I'm a professional." A third person replied: "I know a deputy parent when I see one." One commenter joked: "Is he taking new clients?"

Golden Retriever Faces 'Stranger Danger'—Hysterics at How It All Ends
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A golden retriever's reaction to a stranger getting into his home has gone viral on social media, leaving users in hysterics. In a video shared on TikTok in July by @madsalex21, the golden retriever can be seen standing right behind a glass door as the woman lets herself in, wagging his tail and greeting her as if she was his owner. "My dog has never met the woman entering my house and this was his reaction," reads layover text in the clip. The caption says: "Stranger danger? Never heard of it." Meanwhile the pup, despite not knowing her, can be seen zooming from one end of the room to the other, before eventually settling in for cuddles from the kind stranger. Golden retrievers are known for being extra friendly dogs, not only to their owners and people they love, but to strangers too, that's why they don't make the best guardians. If your are looking for a guardian dog, the best options, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC), include German shepherd, doberman pinscher, bullmastiff, rottweiler, and Staffordshire bull terrier among others. German shepherds are generally considered dogkind's finest all-purpose workers, they're loyal, confident, courageous, and willing to put their life on the line in defense of loved ones. Doberman pinschers are sleek and powerful, and also very intelligent. They are fearless and vigilant, and are considered to be among the world's finest protection dogs. Bullmastiffs are docile at home and fearless at work. They are large, and muscular dogs, who make both world-class protectors and awesome family companions. Rottweilers are strong and robust working dogs descended from the mastiffs of the Roman legions. They are courageous but also calm and confident. They also love curling up on their owners' lap for cuddles like toy breeds do. Staffordshire Bull Terriers are muscular, energetic, and affectionate, known for their courage and tenacity. Though originally bred for fighting, modern Staffords are loyal, family-friendly companions. However, early socialization and training are essential. Screenshots of the viral video show the golden retriever greeting the stranger who just entered his home.

The video quickly went viral on social media and at the time of writing had received over 65,300 views and 6,200 likes on TikTok alone. One user, Brittany Hess, commented: "This is my house. Entry, please'- All Golden Retrievers." Jordie Cahill said: "Welcome! If you will follow me I'll show you where allllllllll the good stuff to take is!" Havehillwilltravel added: "Remember the guy in the garage stealing the bike who stopped to pet the golden retriever." Newsweek reached out to @madsalex21 for comment via TikTok comments.
