Primark adds new Sol De Janeiro dupes to beauty aisles and they're perfect for keeping you smelling sweet on holiday too
PRIMARK has long been charting the course of Sol de Janeiro dupes. From copycat perfume mists to imitation body butters, the beauty brand's iconic products have inspired a whole host of creations by Primark formulators. 3 Primark's new Sol de Janeiro dupes are in a £6 travel set Credit: Instagram/ 3 It includes a copycat of the brand's viral perfume mists Credit: Instagram/ 3 There's also a travel-size body butter and a lip balm Credit: Instagram/ And now, the fast fashion giant has produced a £6 travel set so you can get your dupe on anywhere in the world. The new £6 kit comes in Primark's beloved Santorini Sunsets fragrance. We've already had the scent in a body scrub, shower gel and pear-themed body butter, but now it's been formulated into an array of Sol de Janeiro-esque minis. The travel set comes with a mini perfume mist, a mini body butter and a lip balm. Primark's social media team took to Instagram to promote the travel-friendly buy, which is currently available to shop across the UK. 'Bring your glow wherever you go,' they said. Beauty buffs were quick to gush over the new addition to Primark shelves in the comments of the post. 'This set is so cute!' one squealed. 'I need it,' another penned. 'Oh my god, I need!' a third exclaimed. Primark's original line-up of Sol de Janeiro dupes was released in April last year and consisted of three holiday-esque fragrances. Then in January this year, fast fashion bosses added five more scents - including the Santorini Sunsets. Among the others are Capri Coast, Bali Blush, Rio Romance and Fiji Fiesta, and they all come in similar bottles to the £24 Sol de Janeiro viral Perfume Mists. Sol de Janeiro has harnessed the power of social media, particularly TikTok, to propel its growth, with the hashtag #soldejaneiro garnering over one billion views alone. Influencers such as Alix Earle and Mikayla Nogueira have contributed to this surge by showcasing the brand's products. But if you don't have a spare £24 to buy one of the brand's perfume mists before your 2025 summer holidays, then rest assured that Primark has your back with its new travel set.

Haus Labs Full Face Review: Lady Gaga's Complete Makeup Set
I know what you're thinking – another celebrity beauty brand?! But there's something about this one that just feels … different. Maybe it's because Lady Gaga is known for her artistry, creativity and her carefully curated makeup looks. I'd seen clips all over social media from US creators talking about just how well Haus Labs, the brainchild of Lady Gaga, performed. So when I heard the news that the award-winning brand had finally arrived on Australian soil, I could not wait to throw all the products on my face ASAP. The Triclone Skin Tech Foundation is easily one of the most talked about Haus Labs products, winning a handful of beauty awards and voted the 'best foundation' multiple times. It's also gone crazy viral over on TikTok, with the likes of influencers Mikayla Nogueira and Alix Earle being big fans. Keep on reading to see which products from Lady Gaga's brand Haus Labs are worth your hard-earned cash. OUR REVIEW OF LADY GAGA'S BEAUTY BRAND HAUS LABS Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation $85 at Sephora Tried and Tested by Marina Tatas, Senior Shopping Writer The most anticipated arrival to come from Haus Labs is the viral foundation – and all of its 51 diverse shades. The Korean-made formula promises medium yet buildable coverage. It's infused with over 20 skincare ingredients to really keep your skin feeling hydrated. And it turns out it's expert-approved too – my makeup artist used the foundation on me on my wedding day last year and I've been dying to get my hands on it ever since! One thing you notice right away with the foundation – and the rest of the Haus Labs range – is the gorgeous packaging. It's all packed in these beautiful glass vessels with holographic accents, and it feels very heavy and luxe. As mentioned, Haus Labs offers 51 shades, sitting among six colour families with a mix of different undertones too. After following the easy-to-use shade finder on the Haus Labs website, I went with the shade 110 Light Neutral. My skin type is pretty normal – it's not super oily or super dry and I get the occasional hormonal breakout. Upon first use, I could not believe how easy this foundation was to apply. It has a silky serum-like texture that blends onto the skin like butter. One thing I will note is that when I first swatched the shade 110 onto my skin, it looked super yellow. However, after blending it adjusted to my natural skin tone. What's more, the Haus Labs foundation is formulated with patent-pending fermented arnica, which helps to control redness. I found the formula super easy to blend, helping to blur imperfections and giving me plenty of coverage. My first day of wearing this foundation, even my husband noticed I was wearing something new on my face because my skin looked so good. As I checked in on the foundation throughout the day, I noticed that I didn't have any creasing or any spots of product breaking up – something that I've definitely experienced before. It wore beautifully for about 12 hours, and never started to feel heavy or cakey. This is a weightless foundation that feels so comfortable – it's not too dewy or too matte, but rather offers a really natural, skin-like finish. This is my new holy grail! Tried and Tested by Marina Tatas, Senior Shopping Writer When it comes to concealer, I need something that's hydrating, long-wearing and buildable. Thankfully, this skin-loving formula is made with BioTech caffeine and niacinamide to help brighten and depuff, hyaluronic acid complex to hydrate, fermented arnica to reduce redness and a BioFerment 7 Complex to overall protect the skin. Similar to the foundation, the Triclone Skin Tech Concealer offers six diverse shade families with four undertones – there are 31 colours to choose from and I went with the shade 05. My favourite thing about the Triclone Skin Tech Concealer is that it's packed with flexible pigments that make it really easy to work with. You can blend it with a brush, sponge or even just your finger if you're in a rush. It's also non-comedogenic, scoring bonus points because it won't clog acne-prone skin. This makes it a perfect concealer choice to cover breakouts. I love pairing this with the foundation, or I'll just use the concealer on its own if I'm going for a lighter makeup day. This is sort of a magic concealer – it's full coverage while also giving a super natural finish. It never felt dry or cakey, and dried down quick enough to where it didn't settle into any fine lines. I love how this wears throughout the day! Another great pick that still makes your skin look like skin. $65 at Sephora Tried and Tested by Marina Tatas, Senior Shopping Writer Never in a million years did I think I could love a foundation brush as much as I love this one. And I'm low-key kind of amazed at how well it works. Each and every brushstroke applies the foundation so seamlessly. This is a must-have if you find you're always applying your makeup in a rush. The angled brush is fluffy yet dense, with the synthetic bristles getting into every nook and cranny. I even used the foundation brush to blend out my cream contour (which was perfect thanks to the angled shaped) and the concealer under my eyes – a step that I normally reserve for a smaller brush or damp beauty sponge. $59 at Sephora Tried and Tested by Marina Tatas, Senior Shopping Writer Let me tell you, I'm a blush girl through and through with my collection of cream blushes slowly getting out of hand. I've tried almost every one out there but this one from Haus Labs has got to my one of my favourites. There are loads of gorgeous colours to choose from but I went with the shade ' Glassy Rosette '. It's pigmented but not too pigmented (ahem, Rare Beauty), so it's super easy to work with, giving you an instant flush of colour. The formula is serum-based, containing fermented arnica to reduce redness and goji berry complex to make the skin look plump and juicy. When applied to the skin, it doesn't look matte but rather dewy, giving this glass-like finish that looks absolutely beautiful on. I don't recommend swiping the stick directly onto your skin – and to be fair, I never do that with a cream blush. I like to swipe this on the back of my hand to warm the product up, then I'll go in with a brush to apply, or you can use your fingers too. Think of it as a highlighter and blush in one, perfect for those full coverage makeup days, or when you're just looking for something light and flushed. $52 at Sephora Tried and Tested by Marina Tatas, Senior Shopping Writer Like everything else from Haus Labs, the Bio-Radiant Glassy Highlighter Balm is a serum-based formula that's packed with loads of skincare ingredients. And out of everything I got the chance to try, this is probably my least favourite Haus Labs product – which is saying something because I'm pretty much obsessed with everything else. It's a pretty highlighter but it's not as pigmented as others in my collection. I think that might also have to do with the shade I chose – I went with 'Glassy Opal' – as I've seen videos online of people swatching other colours and they look super intense and gorgeous. So take it with a grain of salt! Formula wise, I love how it feels super creamy on the skin, working well with either a brush or the warmth from your fingers. The packaging is super travel-friendly and it's easy to precisely apply highlighter to the high points of the face. The highlighter balm is also multi-use so you can apply this on your cheeks, eyelids, lips and the rest of your body too. This is a good one to try if you love a subtle glow! $65 at Sephora Tried and Tested by Marina Tatas, Senior Shopping Writer Bronzer is a must-have in my makeup routine as I love the warmth it gives. I was especially excited to try this one from Haus Labs as it's meant to be a cool hybrid formula. From the eight shades on offer, I went with 'Bronzed Umber Light' and it's the perfect colour for my skin tone – not too warm and not too cool. The formula is pigmented but still easy to work with – you don't have to be afraid of picking up too much product and looking all muddy. As promised, the formula is sort of like a powder and cream hybrid – I love the feel of it, it's very velvety smooth especially when you swatch and apply it to the skin. The Power Sculpt Velvet Bronzer blends like an absolute dream, feeling super smooth on the skin – it's also designed to help blur imperfections, so that's a big tick in my books!

Shopping · "Not sure how this sorcery works, but I'm obsessed." — A reviewer raving about a dry shampoo powder infused with Korean ginseng, as one does. 1. A moisturizing hair serum if your locks are feeling brittle and dryer than ever — this game-changing potion has you covered. It's made with seven nourishing oils, including argan, coconut, olive, apricot, marula, jojoba, and camellia. Reviewers praise this serum for helping to combat dryness! Plus, it smells downright divine. Promising review: "I looooove this so much. The smell is amazing, and it tends to stick around for a while so I love getting whiffs of it through the day. My hair is softer and doesn't seem as frizzy as before. I put it on after washing my hair, and then after it's dry. I tend to wash my hair two times a week, so I'll use it in between washes on my ends to make sure they still look nice and healthy. Great value too; I've been using it pretty consistently since purchasing and I've barely made a dent in it. Love it!" — Noley Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes, another bottle type, and four other formulas). 2. A satin-finish TirTir cushion foundation that offers an unheard-of 72 hours of wear while blending *perfectly* to conceal blemishes, redness, and under-eye circles. The buildable formula lets you achieve *just* the right amount of coverage for your needs. It also contains hibiscus and red propolis extracts to help enhance your skin's elasticity. And!!! The oval-shaped puff is great for reaching every inch of your face. Check out this TikTok of Mikayla Nogueira's review of this foundation. Promising review: "I struggle with finding a foundation that's not orange. Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned t here are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at al l. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer so if you're older that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting. This will be my go-to foundation from now on." — AJ Bond Get it from Amazon for $17.50+ (available in 39 shades, a matte finish, a dewy finish, and sample kits to find your best shade match). 3. A jar of Anua heartleaf daily toner pads made with PHA to gently exfoliate making dead skin cells go POOF! It may also reduce breakouts, whiteheads, and blackheads. The heartleaf extract soothes and moisturizes for skin so glowy, it'll become an *instant* staple in your routine. Promising reviews: " This has been THEEE best product for my dry sensitive skin. These pads are brightening and helped my uneven skin texture. I didn't know these pads would change my skin completely!! I'll be repurchasing forever, best skincare product I've used in a long time, you NEED THIS! You'll immediately notice a difference." — Kenny Vasquez "When I tell you my skin hasn't been this clear in forever. I have PCOS and hirsutism, which causes me to grow hair on my neck and chin. I'm also a skin picker so clearing my skin has been really difficult for me. But this product has saved my skin. I'm still working on my skin picking but when I don't, these pads help to exfoliate and help with the dark marks. Thank Anua!" — Jessyca Renee Get it from Amazon for $22. 4. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil for creating the most kissable pout with a moisturizing formula that won't leave your mouth a sticky mess — now that's magical. It contains vitamins A, C, and E, and soothing apple water for a lip upgrade you can feel good about! This lip oil is vegan, cruelty free, and has no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. Promising review: "This is the first lip oil I've ever used. Usually I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger, it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 13 shades and multipacks). 5. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder, which is a *non*aerosol option made with Korean ginseng to revive limp, greasy hair and add volume. It's a fine, hypoallergenic powder that absorbs oil, sweat, and dirt to help locks stay fresh longer. One reviewer describes it as " sorcery" and tbh, I get it. Amazon Promising reviews: "I almost want to gatekeep. By far THE best dry shampoo I've ever used — not sure how this sorcery works, but I'm obsessed!" — Robertson "I originally bought this for a month-long trip to Australia (that began with five days of camping without much time to stop by a store). I wanted something small and non-aerosol (because, travel), and hate applying powder by hand and didn't want to bring an application brush. The application sponge is great, and the powder itself is also magic. I was a DAILY hair washer most of my teenage and adult life, but now I can go an entire WEEK with this stuff (and other mindful habits like night braids). I really love it."— Bre Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in six shades and in multipacks). 6. The Face Shop's facial foaming cleanser when you wanna simplify your daily routine with a do-it-all face wash that helps you accomplish all your skin goals: cleanse, moisturize, brighten, and remove makeup! You *and* your newfound K-beauty routine can thank me later. Promising review:"I have struggled with acne my entire life. I've gone to dermatologists, tried salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, tazarotene, and nothing ever even reduced it. I struggled with a very basic form of acne on my forehead, and sometimes my chin, and I have sensitive skin so I decided to try something new. I thought I'd have to wait at least a month to see results but within four days everything started to disappear. All of my major acne has completely gone away, I only see little tiny spots here and there but they go away within a day. Nothing like what I used to get. I'm going to start using it on my back to see if it helps there too. 10/10 the best face wash I have ever encountered in my life." — Jaiden Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes). 7. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence because believe it or not, snails have the healing touch. Bonus: This refreshing formula can be used on all skin types! Reviewers love how well it helps heal acne, inflammation, peeling, fine lines, and even eczema! This highly concentrated formula contains 96.3% snail secretion filtrate, which helps repair damage while moisturizing your skin. Also, the snail mucin is obtained in a safe way, so no snails are harmed! My colleague Gabriela Manjarrez can vouch for it:"I've personally been using this for months now and it's amazing how it's improved aspects of my skin that I didn't even know needed improving. I didn't think my skin looked too dull before, but after seeing how this brightened and soothed my skin, I'm never going back. I spray my face with rose water, gently pat the essence into my skin while it's still damp, and let it absorb. Plus, it absorbs so quickly, it's like your skin is saying 'gimme gimme gimme!!'" Promising review:"I've been using this morning and night for about two weeks and I can say I understand the hype! My skin looks better than it has in so long. Firstly, the texture surprised me. When you think snail mucin, you think slimy and gross. This wasn't sticky or slimy whatsoever. I was afraid it was gonna leave my skin feeling gross and slippery. Surprisingly, my skin drank it right up! No residue whatsoever and it's a nice primer before makeup. I have oily skin and it's helped with that as well. My skin is so soft, with a nice healthy glow. I've noticed my red spots from past acne are fading and my skin just overall looks great. Highly recommend!" — Sarah Downs Get it from Amazon for $19.20. 8. And a lightweight Cosrx mild gel cleanser that may very well contain some kinda pixie dust y'all. Now you can wash your face without the constant worry that you're stripping your face dry. The low-pH formula contains BHA and tea tree oil to help protect your face from irritants while also strengthening the skin barrier. All Cosrx products are dermatologist-tested, cruelty-free, and have no parabens, sulfates, or phthalates. Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"After hours of exhaustive research on Korean gentle cleansers, I finally decided upon a cleanser. This was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my face! I have sensitive, combination, and very volatile skin, so if I ever make it unhappy, it definitely lets me know. This cleanser is light enough that it doesn't feel thick or cloying, it has a very subtle smell (which I love), and the pH of the cleanser is so low that the only thing I am worried about for my face anymore is the pH of the water I am splashing on my face. It hasn't caused any bad breakouts or negative reactions like drying or tightness of skin but it can certainly handle itself in the department of a full face cleanser. This has caused me to look forward to trying more Cosrx products!" — Haley Hart Get it from Amazon for $11.90. 9. Torriden hyaluronic acid serum complete with *five* types of HA molecules in a fast-absorbing formula that will make you a believer — it packs a MASSIVE punch of moisture when you need it most. Your skin will stay wonderfully hydrated and smooth thanks to this lightweight, non-sticky serum! Promising review: "Disclaimer: I went on Accutane five years ago, and this product is one of several other products in my day/night skincare routine. I first picked this up at an Olive Young store during a trip I took to South Korea. It was listed as one of their best-sellers and I 100% can see why. I mist my face before applying a few drops and it absorbs really quickly. Almost immediately my skin looks/feels more hydrated and prepped for the rest of my routine. The days where I feel lazy and don't complete my skincare routine or cheat and not use this, my face definitely looks less dewy/a little more dull. Idk but I'm sold for sure." — Jaylen Get it from Amazon for $22.52 (also available as a two-pack). 10. A SeoulCeuticals toner mist set to earn a *permanent* spot in your beauty routine once you experience its dewy effects. This skincare juggernaut is made up of 98% naturally derived ingredients such as soothing aloe, rejuvenating cucumber, and antioxidant-rich green tea that'll make your skin glow like never before. It hydrates, plumps, and helps treat blemishes while preventing future breakouts. SeoulCeuticals is a small skincare business that was founded in 2017 by a husband and wife team. Though it's a US-based company and the products are made in a state-of-the-art US facility, their main ingredients are sourced directly from South Korea, and they work closely with Korean partners and their consultant Ella Cho to ensure quality and authenticity. You can read more about the brand here! Promising review:" I'm on my fourth or fifth bottle of this stuff, I use it as a daily toner and I must say that it is AMAZING. My skin is even and bright. I look like a buttery roll or a glazed donut and I love it. My skin has never loved me more. I also pair this with their serum, along with a strict skincare routine." — Victoria Del La Torre Get it from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in two styles). 11. An Innisfree daily UV defense sunscreen you'll probably always have on hand because it's one of those holy grail products that you absolutely dread running out of. It contains SPF 36 for sun protection, green tea for reducing redness and irritation, and sunflower oil to nourish the skin. Most importantly, it doesn't leave behind a ghostly white cast and will have your face glowing all day long. Promising reviews:" My holy grail SPF. The scent is mild, and the sunscreen goes on my skin like a dream. I've tried maybe 20 other sunscreens (American, Korean, and Japanese), and this one is my top pick for everyday wear." — Symphanie Park "I LOVE this product, I swear by it and I'm pretty sure this is my 3rd or 4th time purchasing it! As a woman of color, finding a sunscreen that didn't give me a white cast / ashy finish was very hard, so I am so glad I've come across this product! It goes on the skin so smoothly. I apply moisturizer first, then the sunscreen, and have no trouble spreading a little over my entire face! I seriously don't leave the house without this; I keep it on me at all times! It gives you a glow and makes skin feel so much softer. I also feel like some of my dark spots have faded due to this product! Also I have VERY sensitive skin, so everything breaks me out, but this has not!" — Sierra Keyes Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes). 12. And some peptide patches for blocking out 98% of UV rays because, hello, you don't have a 10-step skincare routine just to have your under-eyes demolished by sun damage. These look like stickers and have an impressive UPF 50+ rating *plus* they're enriched with hydrating peptides to help brighten your skin. Oh, they're also water- and sweat-resistant so you don't have to worry about them staying put. Amazon The UPF 50+ rating is the same one that's used for sun protection clothing. You can read more about UPF, why it matters, and how it's different from SPF on the Skin Cancer Foundation website. Promising review: "I purchased this product for sun protection while golfing, and I love it. The patches are invisible on your skin and feel super lightweight. They also last all day, even when you're out in the sun and sweating. If you're looking for extra sun protection, I highly recommend you get these patches!" — Amazon Customer Get five pairs from Amazon for $19.95. 13. A Beauty of Joseon eye serum if you've been searching high and low for a product that'll actually put a spell on your under-eye bags. It uses a powerful trifecta of retinol, niacinamide, and ginseng to lessen the appearance of wrinkles, boost skin elasticity, and illuminate your skin – you'll be looking radiant and glowy in no time. Promising review:" This eye cream makes my eyes so soft, it has this luxurious feel that is better than any high-end product I have tried and for the cost? This stuff is unbelievable. I tried Ogee and all sorts of products that people swear by, but this one keeps my eyes hydrated and soft all night and lasts until the next day. It also isn't greasy which I love. Since it has retinol I only put on at night and use a vitamin C serum by Murad in the morning. I love this product! You can feel and see a difference after one use." — AJ Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available as a two-pack). 14. A Laneige water sleeping mask infused with squalane and a probiotic-derived complex to help hydrate your lips while you sleep for a perfectly ~supple~ pout. Simply slather it on before bed and you'll wake up with refreshed, hydrated lips to the start the day. Bonus: It also helps strengthen your skin's moisture barrier! Amazon Promising reviews: " I almost never buy the same beauty product twice, with very few exceptions. Why, when there are so many to try?! This one blew my mind. It feels so rich and luxurious, but still soaks in quickly. It doesn't feel sticky or oily, and it makes my skin feel incredible. I'm combination, but run dry, and this keeps me evened out even in winter." — fannbea6 "This mask is the best!! Your skin will feel hydrated and soft. It is a great overnight reset moisturizer. Tip: I put it inside my fridge so it can stay cold, and when I put it on, the feeling is fantastic, especially after a long day of work." — Valery Caicedo Get it from Amazon for $32. 15. And their super glowy lip balm so you can elevate your makeup look during the day too! This silky-smooth balm has a lightweight but high-shine finish so you can wear it solo OR on top of your fave lip color. Say goodbye to sticky-icky lips that make your questions your life choices. Promising review:"Everyone needs this lip gloss in their lives. It honestly makes your lips feel so good. I have one with my makeup and one in my purse to take everywhere with me. It's glossy but not sticky. It feels light on, but makes your lips instantly feel more nourished. Worth every penny." — Britney Badger Get it from Amazon for $19 (available in nine shades and as a cute gift set). 16. Mixsoon Bean Essence when you're ready to be totally mystified by a skincare product — this revolutionary formula hydrates *and* exfoliates at the same time. Ingredients such as fermented bean, barley, and pomegranate help get rid of dead skin cells while improving your skin tone. Best of all? No sticky residue!! Promising reviews: " I saw this all over TikTok/Instagram and decided to buy it because I have a lot of sebaceous filaments on my chin and nose. It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see if it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well. Amazing stuff. 🩷" — Losa "I have hyperpigmentation and oily skin. I feel this product regulates my oil production and it helps my makeup look so flawless. 10/10." — MissKayMae Get it from Amazon for $19.90 (available in two sizes). 17. An Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil to help you remove all traces of makeup while sucking the stubborn sebum from your pores, leaving you with skin that's visibly clearer and smoother! Once you see the results, you'll never be caught without this stuff. 👀 BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising reviews:"BEST OIL CLEANSER I SWEAR. I've gone through 3–4 bottles now and it continues to cleanse my skin AMAZING. It melts makeup, clears pores. Honestly a heaven-send. The first time I used it, it cleared a lot of my sebum and even now when I use it, it clears any dead skin and dirt I have, even when I don't wear makeup. BUY IT, it's amazing." — rexichor "Got it because it was all over my TikTok and I wanted to try the double cleansing. And wow, I don't regret it, it's amazing!!!! Leaves my skin so soft and so hydrated. I use it before my water base cleanser and it has helped me reduce my breakouts. I love the texture, the smell is very subtle (you can barely smell it) and I just love it." — Linette González Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 18. Plus, their deep cleansing foam for anyone who wants a cleanser that goes DEEP to obliterate dead skin cells and any other gunk clogging your pores.

Even after the first application, I was really impressed with the results. My rough skin is smoother, I have no additional breakouts and when I do wear makeup it actually blends into my skin. It also helps the deep wrinkles on my neck. I even got a compliment on my skin the other day — this NEVER happens. I use the mask twice per week. I'm on month two and I recommend it to anyone with problem skin. My only caution is that it smells kind of funky (who cares) and it's a little hard to remove. I only apply the mask when I'm going to shower and wash my hair. It's zombie life for me from here on out!" — Charlie B "I was a little skeptical when I bought this. Tried it for the first time and was amazed by the results! My skin looks and feels amazing, I felt like I looked at least five years younger. Yes it doesn't smell the greatest, but it wasn't overly strong. My skin is very sensitive and I avoid trying new products because a lot irritate my skin, this product didn't. I am so thrilled." — Dayna Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $21.23 (also available in a 16-pack and in a variety three-pack). 29.

Promising review:"This is definitely a miracle product. I was impressed that it worked so well, so fast, and so instantly. The packaging is silly but whimsical; I enjoy it. This is the last thing I apply before walking out the door. First day I used it, I put it on and got in my car — I looked in the rear view mirror and my heart jumped. My eyes had de-puffed on my walk down the front path!!! So impressive. It's not hydrating, it's more tightening/brightening. If you have dry under eyes, use a creamy hydrating eye cream first, and apply this over it — problem solved. You don't get much product, but you don't need to use much either, and it's not like it's expensive. Definitely worth it if a product actually DOES what it claims it'll do!!! Buy it!" — Joseph S.

Someone recommended I try a Korean product and this started going viral around the same time. I lucked into a perfect color match on the first try, but I've learned t here are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at al l. It did settle into my under-eye wrinkles without primer, so if you're older that's something to keep in mind. Overall beautiful and long-lasting.

Usually I avoid anything with oil because I have very sensitive and generally oilier skin, but I wanted to give this a try because I wanted something sheer and pretty for a natural makeup look. Probably the best purchase I've ever made!!! It's super sheer and looks fine on its own without any other makeup. The smell is delicious, and while the gloss dries and fades after about an hour or two without eating, the color stays all day! I did have to reapply after eating, but not after drinking water! I just wish it was bigger, it's a teeny bottle. Would definitely buy again!!" — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $9.88+ (available in 13 shades and multipacks). 5.

I'm combination, but run dry, and this keeps me evened out even in winter." — fannbea6 "This mask is the best!! Your skin will feel hydrated and soft. It is a great overnight reset moisturizer.

You'll immediately notice a difference." — Kenny Vasquez "When I tell you my skin hasn't been this clear in forever. I have PCOS and hirsutism, which causes me to grow hair on my neck and chin. I'm also a skin picker so clearing my skin has been really difficult for me. But this product has saved my skin.

I first picked this up at an Olive Young store during a trip I took to South Korea. It was listed as one of their best-sellers and I 100% can see why. I mist my face before applying a few drops and it absorbs really quickly. Almost immediately my skin looks/feels more hydrated and prepped for the rest of my routine. The days where I feel lazy and don't complete my skincare routine or cheat and not use this, my face definitely looks less dewy/a little more dull. Idk but I'm sold for sure." — Jaylen Get it from Amazon for $22.52. 9.

I apply moisturizer first, then the sunscreen and have no trouble spreading a little over my entire face! I seriously don't leave the house without this; I keep it on me at all times!

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord is obsessed:"I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help completely kick my stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!"

It's a little expensive but I took a gamble: it works! You can physically see the sebaceous filaments come out of your pores, it is not the product bunching up. My problem areas were so much smoother after using and are left with a moisturized glow. I then proceeded to have my boyfriend use this product to see of it worked this good on everyone on the first try and it worked on his nose as well.

Plus, triple hyaluronic acid locks in moisture and leaves your skin looking juicy, plump, and refreshed afterwards! Promising review:"Let me tell you, I have awful blackheads, and this helped clean them out and made them a lot smaller. I love this stuff. I pair it with the oil cleanser (from the same brand and line), and they did wonders for my skin! I recommend it if you have clogged pores and blackheads." — Nabi Get it from Amazon for $13. 20. *ANNNND* a soothing toner designed with 77% heartleaf water to help calm your skin with a pH-balancing formula so all of your favorite (and expensive) skincare products can be absorbed like, 10 times better. Glass skin, here we come! Promising review: "This Anua toner is great, especially for people with sensitive, acne-prone skin. It provides a light layer of hydration along with the soothing and reparative properties of heartleaf. This toner is great for resolving breakouts while preventing new ones. It is particularly good for those tiny little raised bumps (I used to get them on my chin). Highly recommend. Price is very good and even with daily use it will last you quite a while!" — B. MAHTANI Get it from Amazon for $19.69+ (available in two sizes). 21.

Your complexion will be so radiant and plump, you could bounce a marble off of it and hear a note from the heavens — ding! This products is also fragrance- and cruelty free! Promising review: "Honestly just tried this due to high demand and to find a cheaper niacinamide serum. I have been using Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops but it didn't work as effectively as this. I was incredibly surprised by how this serum calms my skin, and my dark spots have been lightening and are almost gone. I also haven't broken out. I use this twice a day and it works well under makeup. It'll give you glowy skin if you're one of those who loves dewy look. I am currently using this together with Anua cleansing foam and it's incredible! Definitely subscribing to this as my regular serum!" — 아미 Get it from Amazon for $22. 22.

Even if you didn't #wokeuplikethis, no one has to know! Promising review:"I'm 44 and for the past four years my skin has been throwing a hissy fit. No matter what I tried my pores were screaming through my makeup. You know what I mean? Makeup sinking into the pores will turn any good foundation into a pool party on your face. Finally, a month ago I found this and it really works. I have combo-dry skin, weather depending and it doesn't make my skin oily. My foundation sets nicely over it (no sinking) and stays on for about eight hours before needing a touchup. And of course my visible!!!! I'm happy!" — KPak Get it from Amazon for $11.75. 23. Plus, a tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eye primer to keep your favorite makeup looks from smudging, creasing, or wiping away as you mingle around the function. If you're the kind of person putting in the time to do ✨ main character energy ✨ makeup looks, you need this game-changing primer in your arsenal, STAT. Promising review:"This eye primer is amazing!!! I have super oily eyelids and was getting to the point that I would rarely bother with eyeshadow because even with expensive primers it would be smudged and creased within an hour. So glad I don't need to shell out for Urban Decay or Mac Paint Pot anymore; they don't hold a candle to this and it's so much cheaper." — Chloe Get it from Amazon for $16.49. 24. A strawberry milk body lotion that smells freshly plucked from the vine, but it's also created with milk protein to deliver all-day moisture and softness to parched skin! It's practical *and* cute — just in time for strawberry season! Amazon Promising review:"I have very dry, thin skin and have tried many lotions through the years…none have worked as well as this one.

The other side of the pencil boasts a spoolie brush for grooming and shaping! Amazon Promising review: " This is the best eyebrow product I've ever used and so the price and ease of ordering makes me happy. I love that it has a brush wand on the other end so I can blend and refine my coloring with a quick flip and brush of the pencil/wand. The pencil itself has the perfect width and length and it's in a beveled diagonal shape, which I've never had in a pencil before and I found it works the best for drawing more naturally. Plus, these pencils last me a long, long time! It's the longest-lasting pencil I've ever used. I hope they never change these or take them away from me because I'd always been frustrated by eyebrow pencils before finding this one." — Lisa N. Hyman Get it from Amazon for $4.60+ (available in 10 shades). 26. A splurge-worthy enzyme peel powder that transforms into a foamy lather packed with hydrating hyaluronic acid and exfoliating green tea enzymes for a gentle, but effective clean. You can use it as a daily exfoliator without worrying about stripping or drying out your skin, instead showing off a naturally radiant glow! Amazon Promising review:"I started using this amazing product because I was given a sample, and the first time I tried it, I knew it was something extra special. I could see a difference IMMEDIATELY (not kidding), and now I am a devout believer. This enzyme peel is the closest thing to getting an actual peel without the pain and the healing time — and cost — that's required. I now use it 2–3 times a week. It really does have instant results. I sometimes even go without makeup now. And I am 58 years old. That's impressive! Thanks Amore Pacific!" — Katharine Pope Get it from Amazon for $68. 27. The Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Hydrating Multi-Balm, which is a multi-use moisturizing stick that can be used on your face, lips, eyes, and even your neck.

Rael Beauty's miracle patch with hydrocolloid to absorb sebum, pus, and other fluids while preventing you from picking at your zits. Each one boasts a transparent, ultra-thin matte design that's super discreet during wear, so you can run all the errands and not have to worry about anyone staring at the pimple that seemingly popped up overnight while you're making small talk at the checkout counter! 😅 BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic! Promising review:"I am a pimple patch fan okay. I have tried them ALL but I always was intrigued by this brand and was very skeptical on three things: effectiveness, visibility, and size. I LOVE the fact that Rael pimple patches have two different sizes, all with hydrocolloid. They are practically invisible on the face unless you are extremely close up. I would feel extremely comfortable wearing these to my childcare job because I know they are not visible, and if you work with kids you know how they love to point pimple patches out. 🤣 I left one on my face all night (9+ hours), and it completely erased the pimple on the side of my cheek. Best pimple recovery I've seen ever on my face. I love these and will buy more, and you should too!!!!!" — Brian Cage Get a 96 count from Amazon for $16.99. 29. Skin1004's Centella ampoule facial serum featuring a non-sticky moisturizing formula made with Madagascar Centella asiatica extract that also helps calm sensitive and acne-prone skin. Reviewers swear its lightweight texture effortlessly absorbs into the skin without feeling harsh or uncomfortable! Promising review:" Liquid gold! I'm obsessed with this. It's one of the first products I purchased when starting my glass skin journey. Centella asiatica is known to calm sensitive skin, reduce redness and inflammation. My skin barrier was damaged from all the actives I used in the past. Since I started using this ampoule in the morning and night, my skin is a lot more hydrated and less red and irritated. It absorbs beautifully into the skin and doesn't leave tackiness. My skin is left glowing after every use. I've recommend this product to friends and family and they all feel the same. It's a must for any skin type!" — frugalANDfeminine Get it from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in two sizes). 30.

We both use it as our daily cleanser." — Amazon Customer 32. A dark-spot correcting serum for all skin types to help fade uneven skin tone and deliver a brighter complexion.

I'm a couple of days in and I should mention I have super sensitive skin. Very prone to breakouts and rashes. My skin looks like plastic. My pores that are usually huge are almost nonexistent. I will recommend this miracle to everyone. Also didn't bother my skin in the slightest" — jeanqueen75 Get it from Amazon or Sephora for $25+ (available in three sizes).
