Hey beauty lovers! There’s no denying it, every time a new makeup trend hits my feed, I’m tempted to try it. If you’ve been eyeing some of these buzz-worthy beauty products too, here’s my take after giving them a proper test run.


Hopefully, this helps you decide whether to splurge or skip!


🛑 One/Size On Til Dawn Mattifying Setting Spray – Mini ($17)


⭐ Overall: 4/5


• Be sure to shake well before using!


• Excellent for oily skin or when you need makeup to last more than 8 hours


• Loses a star due to its overpowering spray and strong fragrance


💖 Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand ($42)


⭐ Overall: 3/5


• Twist-to-open cap feels a bit unnecessary unless you’re traveling


• Doesn't have the best staying power compared to other liquid blushes


• Still gets points for its blendable texture and flattering colors


✨ Merit Beauty The Minimalist Complexion Stick ($38)


⭐ Overall: 5/5


• Absolute fave for its buildable, natural-looking coverage


• Smooth formula that blends beautifully with fingers, sponge, or brush


• Chic, high-end packaging adds to the experience


💋 Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil ($20)


⭐ Overall: 4/5


• Feels more like a lip stain than an oil


• Has a jelly-like texture and wears super lightly


• Lovely shades for every skin tone, but it’s not your typical “oil” formula


These trendy picks have stirred a lot of opinions online, and after testing them out, some truly impressed me while others had their drawbacks. Which one are you thinking of trying next?
