As the holiday season approaches, a new TikTok trend has surfaced where women are sharing their beauty secrets with everyone instead of gatekeeping.
Gatekeeping has always been a very controversial topic especially when it comes to “underground artists.” But it seems the public is more open to sharing their special beauty products this year.
After watching many of these videos on my For You Page I have noticed a repetition specific products. I accumulated these “trending” products into a list for everyone to add to their wishlists this year.
- “Wow your Hair is so Healthy and Shiny”
-
The two brands that are the most popular these days for hair maintenance are Gisou and and Olaplex.
Gisou has a great line of hair oils and hair masks to rejuvenate your hair, while Olaplex’s most popular products would have to be No. 3 (hair perfector) and No. 7 (bonding oil).
- “you smell so good all the time”
-
Of course the Sol de Janeiro product, 62, is still one of the most popular perfumes out right now.
Another popular perfume right now is the scent “Sí” by Giorgio Armani.
As for my own experience, I have been using the perfume “Silver Moon” by Pacifica (which can be found in Ulta) and I have been getting a lot of compliments on it.
- “Your Skin is so clear”
-
Having a skin care routine is vital, but doesn’t have to be complicated.
Turns out most people have skipped to 10 step routine and are reverting to a simple two step routine that involve the CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser and La Roche-Posay Effaclar instead.
People are still raving about The Ordinary products, especially their Hyaluronic acid formula.
- “your face makeup is always glowing”
-
The Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter is a must to include in your makeup routine (on a budget? check out the Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter or the L’Oreal True Match Lumi Glotion— both are popular dupes).
But some steps are vital in your skin care before you apply the makeup itself: “dermablading” with a facial oil, a facial massage with gua sha and, of course, sunscreen.
The top trending product for sunscreen recently has been Supergoop.
- “What lip products do you use?”
-
Four words: Dior Lip Glow Oil.
Everyone needs a signature lip combo and a Dior lip oil is an essential asset to the routine.
Other trending lip products are Laniege Lip Masks and the Clinque “Almost Lipstick” in black honey. This last product is especially cute for the fall and winter seasons.
- “Omg, do you Dermablade?”
-
“Dermablading” has been the latest trend so that there is an even base for makeup and general smooth skin. It basically means shaving your face using a special blade.
Personally, demablading my face scares me, so if you relate to that I suggest the Flawless Hair Remover which you can get from Ulta.
- “Your lashes are so long”
-
Lashes are a must even when you have no other makeup on.
The best products to have long lashes with no clumps are L’Oreal Telescopic Mascara, Sky High by Maybelline and the Essence Lash Princess Mascara.
Pro tip: castor oil on a spoolie brush is your best friend.
- “How is your skin so smooth?”
-
Tree Hut products are the holy grail to smooth skin. All you need are the shea sugar scrub paired with a whipped body butter and you are set.
Another product that is very popular right now is the Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream.
- “you have so many basics”
-
From “Essential” hoodies to plain long tanks check out Amazon for the cutest dupes and basics.
Some trending pieces are the Aritzia black jumpsuit which is great for layering, the infamous Skims dress and backless long sleeve tops.
One way to style the jumpsuit - “I love you shoes, Where did you get them?”
-
Uggs are back! But this time they are mini: “Classic Mini II Boot.”
Other trending shoes are, of course, the cloud slippers and Birkenstock Boston Clogs.
I hope this accumulation of trending products inspired many of you in terms of your holiday wishlists!
