Things TikTok made me buy

So about a year ago when the pandemic began and I had to sit at home, I found my way to TikTok (and actually posted a few). Though in the beginning it was mostly entertainment, now most of my feed is about advice, hacks and product recommendations. So of course I've tried out some of those products and I have to say I'm really impressed. These items have become essentials for me. 

Here are the things TikTok made me buy:

1. Ariana Grande Cloud perfume

This is apparently a cheap dupe for the famous Baccarat Rouge 540. I've never had the chance to smell it, but this Ariana Grande perfume lives up to the hype. It is so different from the floral and sweet I used to go for, but I love this burnt sugar scent that is so fresh. A bit more masculine, but I absolutely love it and I've even gotten a few compliments.

2. Simple Modern Tumbler Cup

This cup from Amazon is amazing. Used by Victoria's Secret supermodels, so why wouldn't it be. I love this cup for many reasons: 1) looks so chic 2) insulated: keeps your drink hot or cold 3) two lids, you can enjoy your hot or cold beverage 4) no leakage 5) keeps me hydrated.

3. Motel Rocks Paiva Slip Dress

This is a first dress that I own that I'd say is for a hot date. Makes me feel like a baddie. Though my only issue is with the cleavage that wants to reveal my chest, but fashion tape to the rescue. I'd say the quality and dress for this price is worth it.

4. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5

Winter made my skin extremely sensitive and I had a lot of redness and dryness, so this repairing soothing balm popped up on my for you page. It really was for me. I have been using this for a week now and I can really say that this product deserves more hype. I think it has even helped dealing my acne with its antibacterial and soothing benefits.

TikTok has also affected me to use more hair care products, take omega-3 capsules, read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", make a LinkedIn account, eat baked oats for breakfast, take free online courses and probably more things, so overall what a great platform.

pHformula A.C. Recovery and P.O.S.T Recovery Cream - Review

Image
So I went to a cosmetologist for the first time in my life to seek help with my acne struggles and well facials alone don't fix the issue. She gave me these two products by a brand called pHformula. This brand's products can only be bought from a professional, who has a license to do their treatments and sell their products. Which means that these products are to support the skin after the treatments and between facials. As my cosmetologist said, the skincare regimen at home is a lot more important than facials, so if you can't afford facial treatments regularly, then invest in your skincare routine. A.C. Recovery is like a treament type of serum. It costs about 61€ and contains tons of acne-fighting ingredients including mandelic acid, niacinamide and salicylic acid. This special formula should help renew and support the skin while recovering. I have been applying this twice a day, at night I pump a tiny pea-sized amount for my entire face and in the morning I jus

Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch - Review

Image
With long-awaited summer approaching, I thought it's only appropriate to write about sun protection. Sun is still extremely harmful for your skin, in case you forgot, and applying SPF daily is recommended for a reason. So if you don't want to look 20 years older in the next 10 years with wrinkles and dark spots, I'd suggest you get on it asap. I religiously apply SPF, so using one that is great for my acne-prone oily skin is of high importance. Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 50+ Dry Touch  I always opt for and suggest buying SPF from a pharmacy, because most of the products sold are high quality and sensitive enough that they shouldn't cause any issues. This time I decided to try the Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch. This sunscreen is also supposed to be water-resistant, colourant-free, hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. The formula is enriched with soothing active ingredients and antioxidants (like vitamin E), so your skin should be happy. T

DMK Danne Alkaline Wash for acne scars- MY EXPERIENCE

Went to my regular facial treatment when my cosmetologist turned to me and said "What if we try alkaline wash for your acne scars?". Since my skin has been doing so much better lately and I didn't really have any active acne, so why not try something for my scarring. However this alkaline wash isn't exactly a relaxing treatment. It's gonna take about two weeks for my skin to fully heal, because this alkaline will cause burning sensation and sensitivity. She warned me that I might have to get blisters just like when you burn your skin. So it wasn't the most tempting offer, but I have many acne scars, so might as well try and get rid of them. Also right now is the best time for me as I can stay at home and not show my face. At first I couldn't really tell anything when she applied the alkaline, but later when she moisturized my face, ouch that was painful. For the rest of the day my face was a little tight and slightly red, but nothing too drastic. Few areas
