Sometimes all you need is a fruit-shaped throw pillow or a tiny violin keychain that plays sarcastically sad little tunes.
1. A pack of spring-forward socks because HELLO it's time to go back outside. Add some color to your outfit. Add some florals. ADD BUNNIES!
Amazon
Promising review: "I am so amazed at how great these socks are. When I bought them, I had low expectations because usually, when I buy cute socks from Amazon, they are so thin. But I was pleasantly surprised when I opened them! They are so nice and thick, super cozy and adorable, and you get nine pairs too! I can't wait to wear them with different outfits! If you are unsure about these, I would definitely recommend buying them." — april
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in various pack sizes and five styles).
2. A fruit-shaped throw pillow adding some tropical vibes to your home, because square-pillows are just so...square. Close the blinds and cuddle up with your papaya.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I LOVE this pillow. I've had it for a few months now, but I am back to write a review since I just recommended it to a friend. It's very soft and plush and by far the best passionfruit pillow on the market. I did actually look for other ones lol. And now I kinda want to own the whole collection!" — Esther
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 12 designs).
3. Moodmatcher's color-changing lipstick that starts Elphaba green and then reacts to the pH of your skin to create a Glinda-approved pink. The truly magical formula defies grav— I mean, time by staying on all day, even after eating and drinking.
Amazon

4. And an Ulta Beauty Magic Marker lip stain to make your makeup routine feel a little more like arts and crafts. Reviewers say this is more than a novelty product: It offers bold, nonsticky color that lasts all day.
Ulta
Promising review: "Finally, someone came up with this simple yet great idea for a lip stain. This magic marker style has a great shape applicator for good control, and it stains your lips without any messy gloss. The stain lasts all day! So, throughout the day, I just top it with a light gloss for shimmer. It is not sticky at all. You wouldn't need to top it with a gloss if you prefer a matte look." — Michelle
Get it from Ulta for $10 (available in four colors).
5. A beautiful stained glass butterfly stake so your plant can have a permanent guest. It hooks onto the side of a planter to create the illusion of a monarch just dropping by for a quick rest.
Reviewers note that the smaller details on the wings are painted on, not individual pieces of stained glass. Avalglass is a small business based in Poland, so shipping times are longer than normal.
Promising review: "A beautiful birthday gift for my mom, made and shipped with care all the way to Kansas! Well-crafted and unique, just as pictured. Highly recommend!" — Vicky
Get it from Avalglass on Etsy for $38.77 (originally $55.39).
6. A set of adhesive stair decals that'll make your home feel like Rainbow Road, just with way less falling off the side into the abyss (hopefully?). When you get sick of them, just peel 'em off!
Amazon
Promising review: "These went on smooth as butta! I've gotten so many compliments, and guests assume I painted it. Just have a box knife and patience. It's worth the time investment! I've had mine on now for a year, and it stays on just fine." — Amazon Customer
Get a set of decals from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in five patterns and three sizes).
7. A rose-shaped straw cover compatible with 6-10 millimeter straws to avoid any gross situations. The soft silicone stem loops around your straw, and the rose fits right on top. VERY Disney princess if you ask me.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

8. Talking Hearts — a deck of conversation cards for couples looking to deepen their connection or just pass the time on a long trip. There are 200 questions, plus two wild cards to keep conversation flowing.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This game is so fun! My husband and I pick one card, and if the question is a little more difficult, we put it on the fridge and give each other time to answer. Has added a little more genuine conversation into our weeknights raising two girls." — Derrek & Abby
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
9. A NeeDoh Gummy Bear offering the perfect amount of squish and stretch for restless hands. The jelly-like filling is encased in a thick, nonsticky plastic so it has just the right amount of give. A sensory heaven!
www.amazon.com
Schylling is a small business that specializes in modern and retro toys, games, and sets.

Check out the rest of the Nee-Doh fidget toy options on their Amazon storefront!
10. Or a blind box with five whole surprise cube cats inside. Will you score the transparent Melon color or the elusive Fortune Cat? Only one way to find out...
Promising review: "I absolutely adore these little square cats! They are small for pocket-size fidgeting, which helps with my anxiety. I really love the sound they make when you shake 'em. I bought one blind box and was really surprised to have gotten one of the secret rare ones! Pictures do not do it justice; it's a very pretty transparent finish. Will definitely buy more because I want the whole set! Purrfect for cat lovers and worth the money." — Krysiss
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
11. A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit that comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel to display your tiny masterpieces. It's perfect for adults and teens looking for a quick project and kids working on their fine motor skills.
The kit comes with two landscapes and one portrait of Bob.
Promising review: "I have to admit I was skeptical because of the price and size. However, I got these for my husband for his birthday (he loves Bob Ross) and What a find!! We had so much fun mixing colors and painting. Would definitely recommend. The fact that they are small makes them even more special. I wish there were more to paint!" — slb m
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
12. A Britannia metal hairclip offering some Western charm to any outfit. The creators of this barrette were not horsing around: Reviewers say the craftsmanship is top-tier.
Amazon
Oberon Design is a small business that sells leather and metal goods made in the US.
Promising review: "The BEST I've seen... I collect barrettes, and I'm always looking for good, strong, and pretty ones — I have long, thick hair. This barrette is absolutely beautiful! It's stunning. I'm speechless. Gosh, what a wonderful purchase. I will buy it again from Oberon Design. The quality is excellent. The edges are smooth, with nothing rough or sharp like cheaper barrettes from other vendors. Best of all, my barrette is American made!!!" — Singjo
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
13. Soot sprite dryer balls that'll look sooo cute bouncing around in your dryer. Besides being adorable, they reduce drying time, prevent wrinkles, and soften clothes, all without coating your stuff in a waxy residue like dryer sheets do.
www.amazon.com
Dryer balls are eco-friendly *and* budget friendly because you can use them over and over. Friendsheep is a small business that sells dryer balls handmade by women in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Promising review: "These are so incredibly cute! I love that they look like soot sprites! I used them today and noticed a significant decrease in drying time. No static, and able to be scented with essential oils. A great alternative to polyester, single-use dryer sheets." — Daria
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $18 (available in nine sets).
14. A wind-up toy shaped like a cat riding a robot vacuum. We've all seen the videos — it's time to recreate it at home.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
This toy is battery-free! It also comes with a little booklet.
Promising review: "I think this little toy is adorable. I have it on my coffee table, and you just wind it and watch it go. I bought one for a friend, and she loved it. Cute gift for cat lovers." — T
Get it from Amazon for $10.18.
15. A tiny violin keychain you can ironically play the next time someone vents a little too long. Press the button on the back to unleash "a symphony of sarcasm" — hopefully the melodramatic music will lighten the mood.
Amazon
Promising review: "This is great to have on hand when someone is complaining and you are sarcastic! The tune is not overly loud or annoying; you can even use it in an office." — Melinda
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
16. Or a fidget toy keychain featuring a little critter having the time of their life in an inner tube. Press the button to de-stress and make their water park dreams come true.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I got these for a Christmas gift; they are amazing! They seem to be very durable, decent size, perfect for a pocket or purse. Very fun to play with. I can't wait to give them to my kids." — Kayc
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six styles).
17. A sad duck night-light ready to cheer you up — because at least you've never felt so down you've melted into the table.
My husband got me this light as a gift, and I can confirm it's very cute. If you firmly tap or squeeze it, you can toggle between three brightness settings. It's not bright enough to read by, but it works quite nicely as a night-light or for mood lighting. The legs are wiggly, which is definitely a selling point for me.
Promising review: "This little lamp is BEYOND adorable. I got it as a gift for my niece, and she loved it. It's super cute, has a soft squishy texture, and has a little X for his butt. Maybe some won't like the little X, but it just adds extra cuteness. Worked right out of the box. Seemed pretty bright. Squish him, and the level changes. I can't speak to life expectancy, but it seems decent enough quality. Freaking adorable! Way better than expected." — KF
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
18. A plush fruit slice probably more comfortable and DEFINITELY cuter than the normal cone of shame your cat has to wear. The adjustable collar gives your cat a nice cushion to rest with while they recover from surgery.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This is WONDERFUL product. It's obviously adorable, but it's comfortable for Mojo. It has a drawstring with plastic locking mechanism similar to that of a laundry bag. He has an issue biting his fur to the point of causing skin issues and infections on his body, mainly his tail and hind quarters, and this helps tremendously. H e can still reach part of his legs; the soft cushion isn't quite wide enough, but his tail is the main problem, and he doesn't seem able to reach it. He adjusted easily to continuous use since it's comfortable for him to simply rest his head on it like a pillow. It's soft fabric, so it will get soaked on one side when he drinks water from the bowl, but after soaking up the water with a paper towel, it dries rapidly. I will be buying more of these to clean them and provide more choices and more cuteness. I would definitely recommend this product." — Billychic
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes and eight styles).
19. A giant bread pillow you can cuddle up with and get nice and toasty. You may want to also get a real baguette because this thing is making me hungry!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought this delicious bread morsel to cheer up a friend. It was perfect; she really kneaded it. She uses it for cuddling and sleeping. This yummy bread cake doesn't feel crummy at all; it's soft. It was the yeast I could do. If your friend loves bread and they're going through a tough time, you butter get this." — Nora Lee Majors
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three sizes).
20. A"Gracula" garlic crusher that ironically helps you with one of the most tedious chores in the kitchen. Just throw in the peeled cloves, twist, and feel grateful you Let the Right One In...to your kitchen.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love this little guy. I found him on a BuzzFeed list and had to have it as soon as I saw it! I've minced as many as five cloves in it in seconds. It's a little tricky getting all of the garlic out once minced (I use a silicone basting brush to get most of it, but I always use more than the recipe calls for anyway, so it's not a deal breaker). Cleanup is a breeze because he goes right in the dishwasher!" — Barbie
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
21. A disco ball watering globe to make your plant feel like they're at their own personal dance party. It'll keep your plant hydrated between watering sessions and, when the sun hits just right, create a fun light show in your home. That's a lot of benefits from what seemed like an impractical purchase at first. 🤔
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I love the uniqueness of these watering tools! They sparkle subtly in the sunshine and provide me with the peace that I can go a few days without watering! Well designed, and I would buy from this seller again!" — Laura
Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.99.
22. A long-lasting temporary tattoo kit for when you're bored of your current ink situation and wanna mix it up — for a little bit, at least.
www.amazon.com
Apply the ink with a stencil and the tattoo will develop over the next day to look like the real deal.
Promising review:"I purchased the kit for me and my GF. This was my first time doing this kind of tattoo making, so I wasn't sure what to expect aside from having a lot of fun. Well, we had way more than fun as we started inking each other. The tattoo-making process is really easy. My tat is now six days old and still looks dark and sharp." — Golan
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).
23. A fashionable lil' capybara who comes with a variety of sweaters and accessories so they can make outfit swaps throughout the day. If you miss the soaring joy of dressing up a Build-A-Bear, this might do the trick.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Each rodent comes with two hats, three sweaters, two scarves, and two bags.
Promising review: "This is the cutest thing ever. I bought it for my 9-year-old granddaughter, and she [loved it]. The capybara is soft and cuddly. The clothes are made well and so cute. I highly recommend." — Yiayiaof4
Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in four styles).
24. A giant pack of sprout hair clips featuring springy mushrooms, clovers, and flowers. Tell me a flowy dress, and a couple of these wouldn't go hard at brunch.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "Bought these to sell at a school fundraiser (donated them for that purpose). The kids loved them! They sold out quickly. Surprisingly sturdy (though if you pulled on a clover purposely, it might break). The springs provide a lot of fun movement. Would be fun classroom gifts. Note they look best when wearing two (to look like you have clover antennae)." — Tigermaiden
Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 18 styles).
25. A pack of plastic balls to make all your nostalgic ball pit dreams come true. This pack comes with enough for a pet or small child to have fun but...you could also buy more...and adults could join...just an idea...
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Unsure how many to buy? Use this handy calculator.
Promising review: "I purchased for my children's ball pit. They love them. I like the vibrant colors, and it's a great size for toddlers (they can't fit the balls in their mouths). They're super easy to clean and very durable. Two years later and they are still intact!! Highly recommend. Good amount and priced well!!" — Yokasta Disla
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available three pack sizes and two colors).
26. A sticker book filled with grouchy-looking cats. I would ask why they're so upset, but we all know cats never need a reason. You can have fun placing these directly in the sightline of anyone bugging you that day. >:(
Amazon
Each cat comes with a speech bubble and a mean one-liner.
Promising review: " My brother is a cat lover, and the stickers are big and beautiful. This is his favorite Christmas present from me." — C. Wong
Get it from Amazon for $8.
27. A paw-shaped chair cushion, because who doesn't want to be lovingly cradled in a kitten's paw?
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I freaking LOVE this paw cushion! This paw cushion absolutely saves my butt. It's not super thick or as filled as you might hope. But I read reviews and was prepared for that. A little extra padding would be great, but even without it, this cushion is soft and comfy! It's still worth every dime. It's perfect if you have one of those hanging indoor/outdoor rope chairs, too! This cushion is soft, cute, and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it." — mandarabbit
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors).
28. A plug-in mushroom light that offers a warm, color-changing glow so your home feels like a magical forest. Time to invite over the nice badger couple next door and drink dandelion tea!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review: "I LOVE this night-light. It's in my bathroom and is a lovely addition. It turns off the second the lights go on which is nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it on. Super cute and the little itty-bitty lighting element does a good job lighting, just enough so I don't have to turn the main lights on in the middle of the night." — 1Thand
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
29. A shark onesie for anyone who wishes every week was shark week. The wide fin sleeves and toothy hood make this the ultimate cozy hang 'fit.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Note: Reviewers mention that you should size up.
Promising review: "I got this for my son, and since the day it came in, he's barely taken it off long enough for me to wash and dry it. He even sleeps in it. Needless to say, he really likes it! Great quality, too." — Jessica flores
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXXL).
30. Mr. Bubble Magic Bath Crackles that are arguably a lot more fun than regular bath salts or bombs. They work like Pop Rocks and start crackling as soon as they hit the water. Kids love them for bathtime experiments, but adults might get a kick out of the tingling sensation.
Amazon
Promising review: "These are like Pop Rocks, but for the bathtub. If you don't know what Pop Rocks are, I pity you! My 4-year-old son loves them and always requests them before bath time. They also make great bargaining chips for when he's being a grump and won't let mommy wash his hair. 🙄 I'd definitely recommend these." — Cyn

31 Products That Might Unexpectedly Become Your Favorite Thing You've Ever Owned
E.l.f.'s Hydrating Core Lip Shine (specifically, the "Ecstatic" shade), a must-buy for fans of Clinique's "Black Honey," lippie. It's nearly $20 cheaper (wowza!) and while it doesn't shift colors *quite* as magically, the shade is fantastic, has a nonsticky formula, and is a great option to keep in your bag when you want to craft a similar look on the go. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener — toss your old concealer aside! This one has become the internet's holy grail 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. A bouquet of Lego roses you'll likely enjoy assembling and appreciate much more than a vase filled with living florals that will, sadly, die in a few days. Or a bunch of faux tulips (with nearly 17,000 5-star ratings!!!) that'll ensure your home has a touch of florals ALL the time — *and* if you go on vacation, they'll still be standing beautifully when you return. Mirrored cat-eye sunglasses reviewers are actually obsessed with. (They have over 12,000 5-star ratings!) They're reminiscent of styles designed by Dior but so inexpensive you won't bawl your eyes out if you accidentally sit on them. 😅 An outlet light for anyone who has accidentally walked into a wall one (or two) times too many when getting up in the middle for a glass of water — this lil' gadget will subtly light your way without the need for a bulkier option.

Reviewers absolutely love this version and also use it to brew their favorite iced teas. Cheers! And a coffee syrup dispenser set complete with premade flavor labels to help you transform that little space next to your coffee machine into one worthy of a full-on cafe. A pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's smelly hair (especially if they're overdue for a A dazzling tennis bracelet no one would guess cost you less than twenty bucks! It's 14-karat gold plated, has a reliable clasp, and will add the perfect amount of sparkle to your daily stack. A layered necklace set reviewers have praised for not tarnishing *or* turning their skin green (no offense, Elphaba) which is unheard of at this price point! It'll make curating a cool style easier than ever (since it's a set, duh) but they each also be worn separately with necklaces you already have and love. A Better Breader Bowl — a container designed to make seasoning meat or veggies a cinch. All you have to do is add your bread crumbs/seasoning into one section and your meat/veggies to another then shake, shake, shake! Kitsch's claw clip, which will help you tame your tangled locks into a stylish updo — no need to lose patience trying to look presentable on days your hair simply won't cooperate. It's super strong, has a sturdy clamp that'll serve every hair type, and has a delicate look to it that'll make you feel like a princess on their day off. A buttery soft pair of dreamlux leggings reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align (ooh, la, la). These beauties are super comfortable for lazy days, but if for some reason you decide you want to actually break a sweat in them they'll certainly be up to the task. Get it, girrrrrrl! Stylish chunky teardrop earrings that are a dead ringer for the Bottega Veneta ones, but you'll still be able to afford to treat yourself to an iced coffee after snagging them.

Just think of how much space you'll save in your already crowded kitchen cabinets! Basic white sneakers for anyone who is forever searching for the perfect footwear to pair with their casual outfits — these will complete your closet without the hefty price tag of other simple but elevated sneaks'. Reviewers love how supportive they feel and that they have zero break-in period. A mixed set of flower-shaped coupe glasses featuring eye-catching colors and a vintage feel to 'em that you might not even want to hand drinks out in them when guests are over in fear of one being dropped — but good news, at this price point, you *ABSOLUTELY* can (and should). And/or an elegant set of square wineglasses you'll want to raise a toast to because they're just that lovely. They have a shocking resemblance to the ones you've likely been eyeing from Crate & Barrel but haven't wanted to commit to. These will certainly do the trick and garner you tons of compliments the next time you host a girl's night. A set of stoneware bowls that are so lovely and well made they could easily be mistaken for a West Elm item — their depth makes them perfect for everything from salad to cereal *and* they're dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Etude Dear Darling Water Tint, aka your soon-to-be new favorite lip product. Reviewers love that it's smudgeproof, looks super natural when applied, and can *also* be used as a blush!

Reviewers can't get enough of this set for their price tag and high quality. (Seriously, they have over 216,000 5-star ratings!) A personalizable lap tray your kiddo can use for coloring on the floor comfortably or enjoying one of their 9,000 snacks of the day. Although, there's nothing stopping you from ordering one of these for yourself to use to enjoy breakfast in bed on a lazy Sunday if you don't have children. 😉 A glass mushroom lamp because scattered lighting/creating a mood is very much having a moment right now. Don't break the bank on one Urban Outfitters and West Elm when you might just change your mind about it when trends shift again! This one is lovely, unique, and comes in a bunch of colors that'll go with your space. A bookmark book tracker that'll motivate you to actually settle down and read the novel your book club decided on for this month. After you finish a book you can add the title into the spine on the bookmark and color it in — adorable. This shop also offers other versions of the bookmark themed around zodiac signs! A reading light you can wrap around your neck, in case you have no interest in fumbling with a clip-on light while you turn the pages of your book. Reviewers have also said it's great if you tend to fall asleep while reading, leaving your overhead lights on in the process. SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it'll reduce under-eye circles and puffiness thanks to the glacial waters its formulated with. It's so freakin' cute!!! Who wouldn't want to improve their skin with the help of a lil' polar bear? A Dracula garlic mincer that'll make even the most serious of chefs let out an audible giggle. A slouchy faux-suede bag you might not be able to resist from adding more than one to your cart — I'd apologize, but I'm truly not sorry because this bag is fab-u-lous, A darling hummingbird lamp featuring a handy-dandy touch sensor so you won't need to fumble with any cord or switch in the dark. It has three brightness levels and can also be used as an aroma diffuser if you add 3–4 drops of essential oil to the top of its precious little head. A quirky tape measure, level, and protractor all-in-one for kids who would love nothing more than to be able to lend a hand the next time you decide to take on a home improvement project. It measures up to eight feet (!!!) and has a built-in kid-safe retraction (no tears, please). Next, you'll have to teach them the age-old motto: "measure twice, cut once."

I Tried Amazon's Bestselling Lip Kit & Here Are The Results
Not since Kylie Jenner first took a dip into the beauty world has a lip kit made this much buzz. We're talking, of course, about Wonderskin's Wonder Blading Peel & Reveal Lip Colour Kit, a peel-off lip stain that promises to last all day without budging, fading or feathering. If true, it is a veritable gift from the beauty gods, especially in a world with lip colour-ruining face masks. The kit has already been a sell-out success on US Amazon, earning thousands of 5* reviews which – given the harsh world of internet beauty critics – is no mean feat. But does it really stand up to the hype? We decided to really put the Wonderskin lip kit to the test. Namely on a night out with friends, food, drinks, dancing and a few kisses; for the full ten-hours that Wonderskin claims their lip kit lasts without top ups. Here's how it fared… What is Wonderskin's Wonder Blading Peel Lip Kit and how does it work? Wonderskin's Wonder Blading Peel Lip Kit is not quite a lip stain, but it's not quite a lipstick either; it's somewhere in the middle and combines the best of both, the colour intensity of a lipstick and the staying power of a stain. Essentially, it's a semi-permanent lip colour with two stages, using something Wonderskin call 'Liquid Blading Technology'; an easy, at-home alternative to microblading (the semi-permanent tattoo technique that gives you the look of fuller lip colour or eyebrows). First a tube of Lip Masque, which appears a metallic blue-purple shade (not the final colour!), is painted onto the lips and then after a short wait (10 to 45 seconds depending how intense a colour you want), the Activator Spray is applied. After this, the blue-purple masque can be peeled off the lips, revealing a vibrant lip stain. The gel Lip Masque infuses the top layer of your lips with an ultra-high concentration of pigments. While many other stains often use alcohol-based to leave a long-lasting colour, we love that Wonderskin's Masque is gel-based and alcohol-free, meaning it shouldn't dry out your lips (bonus: the entire kit is also vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free and paraben-free). After this the Lip Activator mist is designed to trigger a "hyper-stain reaction", basically sealing all the pigments within the Masque onto your lips, so once you peel the blue-purple film off, all the colour is left on you. My first impressions using Wonderskin's Wonder Blading Peel Lip Kit I always like to give new products a good sniff when opening them – in all honesty, the way they smell can make or break the experience. While the Lip Masque has an odd, chemical scent, the Activator is fragrance-free. First I applied the Masque onto clean, well-exfoliated lips (I used Lush's Watermelon Sugar Scrub, $14 if you were wondering – shout out to the Harry Styles fans in the house). Swiping the Masque on like a lip gloss was a little odd, if only for the colour – I felt like I was putting on a Halloween look. For my first trial I opted for a lighter stain, leaving the Masque on for just 10 to 15 seconds before spraying with the Activator, using the small towel that comes in the pack under my chin. The combination did leave my lips tingling a little, but nothing too uncomfortable; rather I found the spray left an oddly sweet taste on my lips which I didn't enjoy, but wasn't a deal breaker. All I needed was to swill my mouth out with water after. With the spray on, the Masque does quickly transform into a light film that can be peeled off, just not in one easy go like the promo pictures suggest (here's where the towel really becomes useful). My first time applying the Lip Kit, I was pleasantly surprised with the initial result. While I had chosen Romance, which is billed as a cool rose shade, it rather left my lips a warm berry pink; a vibrant flush, like my natural lips, just a little more intense and without any bleeding into the fine lines around my mouth. Is Wonderskin's Wonder Blading Peel Lip Kit as waterproof and transfer-proof as it promises to be? First impressions aside, I really wanted to put the Lip Kit to the test, wearing it for a full ten hours – the amount of time Wonderskin promises that you can wear the kit for, without touch ups. A day out in London for a boozy, bottomless, birthday brunch with friends I haven't seen in months seemed like the perfect opportunity. For this occasion, I left the stain on for longer – the full 45 seconds – for a deeper, more intense stain. Is it mask-proof? Yes, there was nothing smeared on the inside of my mask, despite pulling my mask on and off several times. Is it drink-proof? Yes, more than a couple of bottomless mimosas proved no match for my lips – there were no annoying marks left on my glass, as there often are with lipstick. Is it food-proof? Yes, I didn't notice any odd, pink marks on my food. Is it kiss-proof? Despite my journalistic integrity, I'm single and not going to go about snogging random strangers in the bar during a pandemic. Drunken kisses of friends' cheeks in the girls' loos did prove the stain to be kiss-proof, though. Is it waterproof? Splashing my face at the end of the day didn't dislodge the stain, but I'll have to wait for another heatwave and a trip to the beach to fully test this one. How did my lips look at the end of the day? At the end of the ten hours, the colour is definitely still there and there is still no bleeding, but as my lips have dried out the stain has clung to the dry patches on my lips, which has left my lips looking a little tight and drawn, You definitely need to thoroughly exfoliate your lips before using this one, and then lip balm on top to keep my lips looking full and vibrant all day. Next time I would probably opt for Glossier's Balm Dotcom in Cherry, $30 to amp up the sweet, berry shade of the stain. How is it taking Wonderskin's Wonder Blading Peel Lip Kit off? First I tried my usual double cleanse (Caudalie's Micellar Cleansing Water, $45 and CeraVe's Hydrating Cleanser, $17.99 $14.39) to no success and even after a good scrub with a makeup remover wipe, there was definitely still a distinct stain left on my lips. You'll need a strong oil-based cleanser to budge this stuff. I recommend Glossier's Milky Oil, $33 or DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, $40 $34.99. What I've learnt using Wonderskin's Wonder Blading Peel Lip Kit a few times Odd as it might seem to apply the blue-purple Masque, you need to properly layer it up, leaving no patchiness as this will translate to your final stain. The first time I trialled the Lip Kit, I ended up applying a second coat to get full coverage. After a few uses of the lip stain, I found that applying it first – before the rest of my makeup – worked best. This way, the Activator spray doesn't dislodge your base, especially if you need to use the towel to wipe away the Masque. Where can I buy Wonderskin's Blading Peel Lip Kit? In Australia you can buy the lip kit from Amazon. What are the best lip stains on the market? Aside from Wonderskin's Blading Peel Lip Kit, there are several other great lip stains on the market. Dior's Addict Lip Tattoo, $65 applies like a lip gloss that then dries down to a stain, but doesn't dry lips out thanks to the squalane and glycerin packed into the formula. If you're looking for a little more from your lip stain, we also love MILK Makeup's Glow Oil Lip & Cheek, $57. Packed into a handy tube, this one's great for on-the-go beauty and touch ups.
