Buzz Feed08-07-2025
Amazon Prime Day is here! There are more deals than you could ever begin to look through on your own...so that's where we come in.
60% off the TikTok-viral TirTir cushion foundation (the cheapest it's ever been!) that offers 72 hours of flawless wear, blending seamlessly to hide redness, blemishes, and under-eye bags. It has buildable coverage, perfect for a natural look or full glam. Plus, it's packed with hibiscus and red propolis extracts for a boost in skin elasticity. And to top it all off, its oval-shaped puff can reach every little corner 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 there are sample packs if you aren't sure about the color. The coverage is incredible. It was very lightweight, not heavy at all. 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 BondPrice: $10 (originally $25, typically $19.99–$25 on Amazon; available in 40 shades and a mini size) — and shop all the TirTir deals here
Up to 44% off Mixsoon Bean Essence (its lowest-ever price) that hydrates and exfoliates your skin at the same dang time. 🤯 This thick (but not sticky) essence contains natural ingredients like fermented bean, barley, and pomegranate to remove dead skin cells and revitalize skin tone.
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 of 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." —MissKayMaePrice: $10.08+ (typically $18, available in three sizes)
35% off a light, silky Touch in Sol No Poreblem primer to create a base for your makeup that's satisfyingly smooth. If flaky patches and dryness are always ruining your look, this super hydrating primer will save the day; plus, it's great at minimizing the appearance of spots, blemishes, and pores. If that's not enough, the proof is in the orange — I mean the one below!
Promising review: "I never leave reviews but I had to praise this product. This is seriously a holy grail staple to your makeup. I've tried dozens of primers, and none have even come close to this. It doesn't matter if you're using oil-based or silicone-based makeup. It will all blend and sit seamlessly. I have dry skin and oily skin, so finding something that suits both needs is hard. It doesn't get patchy either, which is something I struggle with. But THIS primer is absolutely perfect. 10/10. Would give 100 stars if I could!!" —PlaceholderPrice: $10.99 (originally $17)
21% off a Medicube Age-R Booster Pro (matching its lowest price ever!) if you want to feel like you just left a Korean skin clinic without having to hop on a flight. This device features four different treatments, all powered by LED light therapy, that can exfoliate, tighten, boost the efficacy of your other products, and rejuvenate your skin. It announces the minutes as you're using it to ensure you don't overuse it in one spot and doesn't take long to see noticeable results.
It's recommended to use the Air Shot mode 2–3 times a week. The other modes — Booster, MC (microcurrent), and Derma Shot — can be used 1–3 times daily.I own the Medicube Age-R Booster Pro, and it is definitely worth the splurge! When I first started using this device, I had a dark mark from a pimple on my cheek, but with consistent use of this device, it faded in under a week (wish I had taken those before and after pics!). Overall, it didn't take long to notice that my face was visibly brighter and lifted. Although I've slacked a bit lately (oops, guilty of being lazy 😅), I've definitely seen the difference when I'm diligent with it.Promising reviews: "I bought this on Prime Day and I use it at least twice a week. I definitely see results with both the air shot mode and the booster mode. Get the collagen gel (pink) to go with it and you will have glass skin." —Alissa"Amazing!!! I got this for facials and it has made such a difference in just a week!! My complexion is looking better and my acne scars are fading and it's just a miracle tool! Definitely use this with serums! I love how it is battery powered so I can get more than one use and it doesn't need to be plugged in. I tried all 4 modes and they're all great!! The secret 5th mode (purple) is unlocked in the app!" —KatePrice: $150+ (originally $189.68, available in black and pink)
31% off a moisturizing Mise En Scéne hair serum — it's made with SEVEN nourishing oils: argan, coconut, jojoba, marula, olive, camelia, and apricot. They all work together to protect your strands from damage (including up to 446-degree heat protection!) while adding some hydration and shine. Kind of like how the seven members of S Club worked together to provide timeless bops.
Promising reviews: "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"Coming from someone with very coarse 4c hair.. this product is heaven-sent. Extremely satisfied. Sticking to this product and this product only from now on, lol." —DaniellePrice: $12.94 (typically $18.77; available in two sizes, a mist style, and five other formulas)
30% off an Innisfree daily UV defense sunscreen reviewers are calling their "holy grail" sun protection. It has SPF 36, which is *chef's kiss* for everyday use. It's formulated with green tea for hydration, cica to soothe redness and irritation, and sunflower seed oil to nourish the skin. And the best part? It leaves behind a beautiful glow with zero white cast.
Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing. Feel so better knowing I'm protecting my skin daily now. Also, there is zero white residue. It gives me a nice glowy glass skin effect, which I really like. Super happy with this purchase." —Kristin"I LOVE this product, I swear by it, and I'm pretty sure this is my third or fourth 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 I have no trouble spreading a little over my entire face! I don't leave the house without this; I always keep it on me! It gives you a glow and makes your 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 KeyesPrice: $12.60 (originally $18)
Up to 30% off a Laneige overnight lip mask for all-day hydration in just a few simple swipes, look no further than this shea butter and coconut oil concoction. And it's infused with vitamin C to exfoliate dry flakes.
Promising review: "I just had to write a review because for years I've suffered from severe chapped lips no matter the season. I've spent hundreds of dollars searching for a product that would help prevent dryness or even soften my lips without success until now. Immediately after putting this product on I knew my search was over. And by Day two I knew I would be a customer for life. My lips stay moist from sun up to sun down and it works perfectly as a base to lipsticks or my preference longwear lip color. I highly recommend this product for soft, chap free lips." —Angela AustinPrice: $16.80+ (originally $24; available in six flavors)
And! Up to 30% off Laneige's gloriously glowy daily lip balm so you can maintain all the moisture from the sleeping mask you applied the night before. It's packed with murumuru and shea butter, so you'll beat the summer heat that usually totally wrecks your lips.
Promising review: "I'm a big fan of Laneige and an even bigger fan of this product. I purchased the gummy bear flavor. It smells incredible, is EXACTLY like the sleeping lip mask product (but in lip gloss form, of course), and the color is SO pretty. It's a sheer purple but has just a slight tint. It's also not sticky like other lip glosses tend to be, but rather, it's really moisturizing. I can't recommend this product enough." —JessiePrice: $13.30+ (originally $19; available in eight scents)
30% off a "lifting" essence that reviewers on TikTok are referring to as "Botox in a bottle." It's made with NAD+, which can help boost cell turnover and stimulate collagen production, along with 50 types of peptides to help plump and firm your skin. With a stretchy texture that's similar to snail mucin but thicker, this gem can help make fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable in four weeks!
Here's how to use it: Take 2–3 drops and apply evenly all over your face — if you want to target any particular areas that have wrinkles, like smile lines, frown lines, and your forehead, you can apply extra there. Gently massage the product into your skin until it's fully absorbed. For an added boost, follow up with their lifting sheet mask at night to lock in the benefits!Promising review: "I've tried countless essences over the years, but this one has completely blown me away! From the very first week, I noticed a visible reduction in my pores and an overall improvement in my skin's texture. My complexion looks smoother, firmer, and more refined, giving me that coveted 'glass skin' effect." —Bug LadyPrice: $18.48 (originally $26.40)
21% off a 70-count of Medicube's "Zero Pore" Pads containing lactic acid, salicylic acid, and a dual-textured surface to help control excess sebum while exfoliating dead skin and refining pores, all while keeping your glow game strong.
Promising reviews: "Have only been using these for four days and OMG, GLASS SKIN! Not irritating to skin and leaves it feeling smooth and glowy." —A. Dawn"I kept seeing this product on social media and finally decided to give it a try. I use this twice daily, and it's been a couple of weeks, and I definitely noticed my pores have shrunk. I even apply it to my neck and chest area. Product is soothing, gentle on my skin (have extremely sensitive skin), no strong smell, cottons are soft, and did not cause any breakouts! It's great for the value, and I'll definitely be repurchasing these." —Ee ElPrice: $14.90 for 70 pads (typically $18.90, available in four other styles)
30% off an antioxidant-rich spray serum infused with white truffle extract to deeply nourish flaky skin and keep your glow on point! It's great for prepping your skin for makeup *and* sealing your look with a dewy finish that'll rival your favorite Insta filter — and when you're out and about, you can reach for it anytime you need a refreshing boost of hydration.
This spray works best for dry and combination skin!Promising review: "This is a beautiful spray. I added it to my nighttime skincare routine, put it on before I put on my makeup, and use it as a finishing spray to take down any powdery look I might have. I take every chance I can to use this because I love how it makes my skin look and feel. It gives me that glass skin look that so many other products have failed to do for me. Highly recommend." —TracyPrice: $13.99+ (orginally 20+, avaible in two sizes)
20% off a lightweight Beauty of Joseon glow serum that contains rice bran water and 2% alpha-arbutin, a skin-brightening hero that can help fade hyperpigmentation and acne scars. One reviewer said they don't have to wear as much highlighter because their skin was glowing so much, while another swears they don't even need foundation anymore because their skin tone is so even.
And don't worry: Even though this is a serum, it won't leave you feeling like you just smeared olive oil over your face.Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing!!!!! The compliments I have received about my skin since I've started using this are wild. I have been told my skin looks even and that it has a glow. I don't wear makeup so it is a huge confidence boost. I had some hyperpigmentation around my mouth and it is almost gone. I use it in the morning and at night. I don't miss a day. I feel consistency is key with this product. There is not really a scent and I like the texture because it is not watery but not thick either. I'm almost out so I will be buying another bottle. Also, I had no irritation or breakouts and my pores have gotten smaller and non-existent in some areas." —Christina Pope"I never write reviews. Like neverrr! But I had to for this serum. If you want glass skin, this is it. It's nongreasy, non-oily, but still makes me glow. It's like magic. Highly recommended." —Noriza falaqPrice: $13.20+ (originally $16.50+)
35% off a 30-count set of soothing cica sheet masks — this hydrating, non-sticky formula is designed for daily use, featuring nutrient-rich essentials like three types of hyaluronic acid, propolis extract, and (the star of the show) centella extract. The mask clings to your face tightly, so you can easily wear it while getting ready in the morning, and the moisture absorbs quickly, delivering a fresh burst of hydration for the day ahead.
Promising review: "This is my fifth day of using these masks daily, and I'm already in love! Can't wait to repurchase. I use it for 30 minutes after a bath, and before I use a toner and the Mixsoon bean serum! The combination of everything really helps! I've also been exfoliating every other day! I don't know what's the magic, but I'm impressed with the improvement, and I think the price for the daily supply of masks is awesome! I'm in LOVE." —Ana Pilar Brito GarciaPrice: $11.50 (originally $17.79, available in five other versions)
31% off a four-pack VT Cosmetics Reedle Shot overnight hydrogel mask — made with bakuchiol (a plant-derived retinol), this luxurious mask is designed to help improve skin elasticity while minimizing any irritation. You apply the included Reedle Shot serum as step one, then layer on this dreamy hydrogel mask, which is designed to help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and deeply hydrate to leave your skin feeling plump and rejuvenated.
You're probably wondering, "But Amber, what even is Reedle Shot serum??" Reedle Shot acts as a booster serum containing tiny micro-needles designed to enhance the absorption of other skincare products by creating microscopic channels in the skin, allowing for deeper penetration of active ingredients. Essentially, it helps your other serums and creams work more effectively.Promising review: "I've bought this pack a few times already and they are the best hydrogel masks I have used. I have tried several of their products and nothing ever disappoints. They stay in place and don't slide all over the place. VT Cosmetics is a tried-and-true for sure!" —Amazon CustomerPrice: $9 (typically $13, available in five other styles)
30% off a five-second Dr. Groot scalp treatment to encourage stronger, fuller hair growth in case you're dealing with thinning, breakage, or even a perm mishap. This revitalizing formula cleanses, exfoliates, and deeply hydrates your scalp all in one go, and reviewers can't get enough of it — many rave that their hair felt smoother and softer after the first use, and one person even noticed a difference in thickness within a week.
This scalp treatment is packed with biotin, rosemary oil, salicylic acid, and niacinamide. Read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at the Cleveland Clinic.After shampooing, apply the product to your wet hair and scalp. Give it a gentle massage, then rinse it out with water.Promising review: "The smell of this is to die for. I've noticed an improvement in the quality of my hair since using this product. My hair is changing — getting coarser and curlier, and I'm desperate to keep it somewhat soft and hydrated. I think this is really helping. I also have really dry, irritated patches on my scalp. This seems to soothe it. I look forward to using it with every shower!" —MMK27Price: $21 (originally $30)
32% off a reparative Cosrx snail mucin essence to help improve skin hydration and soothe damaged skin. Yep, snail mucin is a Korean skincare product made from snail slime. Sounds ick but your skin will totally fall in love the second you use it. Hmm, wonder if this is why SpongeBob had Gary the pet snail — skincare benefits.
Promising review: "Magic in a bottle. I didn't really expect much from this — had it on my beauty list for over six months. Finally decided to give it a try when nothing else was working for my fine lines and acne. Holy crap! It WORKS! It boosted the effects of my other skin care items (retinol and AHA/BHA/PHA toner) and really really helped my skin. I'm 39 and I try to take good care of my skin. This helped so much! My fine lines are almost gone and my acne has never been better! My skin glows! It glows! I can honestly say this is a game changer! I'm shook!" —MyssLynxPrice: $12.48 (typically $18.44) — and check out all the Cosrx products on sale for Prime Day
30% off an adorable hydrating eye stick, aka the perfect remedy for dehydrated skin. This treatment is made with Icelandic glacier water, giving your delicate under-eye skin the fresh hydration boost it needs on days when you've hit the snooze button one too many times.
It also helps tighten eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration.Promising review: "This stuff is magic! I purchased this product on a recommendation from a BuzzFeed list, and was not disappointed! I have not been sleeping well due to stress, and the first day I used it, my coworkers commented how well rested I looked! I told them about it and all of them ordered one for themselves. Very impressed!" —Saminyah MarcelinPrice: $6.99 (originally $9.99)
30% off Biodance's TikTok-beloved Bio-Collagen Real Deep Masks — it starts as a milky-colored hydrogel mask and gradually turns clear while it works wonders on your skin. It contains three kinds of probiotics along with low-molecular-weight collagen and hyaluronic acid, which penetrate deeply to improve elasticity, refine pores, smooth fine lines, and more. You can wear it overnight or leave it on for 3–4 hours as you go about your day!
Note: These typically go up to 32% off during Cyber Week and Prime Day, but they are SUPER popular, so this might be a good time to stock up before the word gets out 👀.Promising review: "Caught wind of this on TikTok and decided to give it a whirl. Honestly, it's pretty solid! It really makes my skin look tight and shiny, like I just came out of a professional facial. It's an overnight mask, so yeah, it does have to stay on for a while, which is a bit of a hassle, but the payoff? Totally worth it. My skin feels more elastic, and the pores look minimized, too. If you don't mind the long wear time, this mask could be a game changer for your skincare routine!" —NalaPrice: $13.30 for four (originally $19; sometimes $15.20 at Amazon)
20% off a pore-clearing cleansing oil that visibly sucks out sebum from your pores and makes makeup residue and blackheads vanish, leaving your skin looking clearer and feeling smoother. Reviewers of all skin types swear by it, including those with acne-prone skin (who say it doesn't cause breakouts)!
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 review: "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 it's heaven-sent. 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. You can see all the dirt that came out of my face recently in the photo [above, right]." —rexichorPrice: $14.15 (typically $17.69)
20% off a cute little Tonymoly octopus-shaped blackhead remover that can help rid your nose and chin of all the gunk that's built up throughout the day and exfoliate pores, making your skin look smoother and cleaner.
Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like me." —LuckLocustPrice: $10 (originally $12.50)
20% off a 96-count of invisible Rael Miracle Patch spot covers, which are designed to draw out the gunk from your pimples while creating a protective shield (if you find yourself tempted to pick at them). Unlike other patches, this one has edges so thin that they practically blend in with your skin — perfect for those times when you need a little acne-fighting magic but still want to go about your day without anyone noticing.
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 CagePrice: $13.59 for a pack of 96 (typically $16.99, available in two other versions)
20% off a set of Heyhae gel nail wraps so you can jazz up your manicure without the pricey salon visits. No need to juggle bottles of polish or buy a UV lamp — these wraps cure effortlessly in sunlight. Plus, they're designed to be easily stretchable, ensuring perfect coverage on every nail. Reviewers say it takes about 10 minutes in the sun to cure, and you can expect about a week of wear.
This set includes: 28 strips, one prep pad, one nail file, and one wooden stick. To apply the strips, just use your palm to warm them up. Once the strips are warmed, they can be easily pulled for the perfect fit on your nails. Note: If you live somewhere that doesn't get sun often, you can still use a UV lamp. You only need to pop your nails in for about 5 seconds!BTW, Heyhae is a small biz!Promising reviews: "I've been using other brand semi-cured strips and decided to give these a try not expecting much. I'm so glad I was wrong! They are thin, pliable and the sizes actually fit ALL my nails! Usually they're too wide or two narrow. Application was a breeze and the adhesive feels so secure once it's on your nails. So far they've held up to moderate wear and tear at the barn. I will only be buying these from now on!" —Nicole"I've tried nail polish, powder, press ons, stickers, acrylics, the works, but I have a lot of sensory issues and I work in a very hands on job and nothing would stay on but these are amazing. After a little practice they're pretty easy to put on and they really do stay on for two weeks." —Anthony WolskiPrice: $11.19 (originally $13.99, available in 21 styles)

28 Beauty Products Reviewers Are Deeply Committed To

A SeoulCeuticals toner mist that's like hitting your skin with a tall glass of spa water. It's packed with cucumber extract, marine minerals, and aloe to help calm redness, hydrate deeply, and keep acne at bay. It's lightweight and soothing, so you may let out a deep "ahhh" as you spritz this on. Plus, your skin will look dewy and ~radiant~. A Mise En Scene lightweight hair serum, which deeply nourishes and hydrates damaged hair thanks to a combination of camelia, jojoba, and olive oils. Your locks will look silkier, feel softer, and smell amazing! A satin-finish TirTir cushion foundation that's like magic because it's brightening and does not settle into fine lines or wrinkles. It lasts up to a whopping 72 hours and blends easily into your skin to hide blemishes, under-eye bags, and redness. Plus, it's buildable, so that means you can rock a natural *or* full glam look. Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up eye gel with caffeine to help reduce eye puffiness, yerba mate to brighten skin, and three types of hyaluronic acid to help plump and firm. One reviewer likes this *more* than The Ordinary's caffeine eye gel because it's more moisturizing! Or Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener that's like a little magic wand for tired eyes — the color correcting formula works across all skin tones to help neutralize dark circles and instantly brighten up your under eye area. Say goodbye to looking exhausted and hello to looking wide-awake in seconds. A self-tanner so you can get a sun-kissed glow that looks so good, people will think your tan came STRAIGHT from Aruba — even though it came from this mousse. It has *no* horrible scent (aka you won't smell like a wet dog), and it takes just one hour to develop an even (!!) tan. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel to "melt off" tough, dead calluses to reveal softer, more supple skin, especially if you were a little hard on your feet or wore overly tight shoes. It delivers results so good, you may just prefer it over the treatments you get at the salon. And Dermora's foot exfoliation mask if you have cracked heels, calluses, or dead skin all over the bottoms of your feet. So just slip on these booties for an hour and watch your feet shed within the next 6-11 days. You'll be GAGGED at how much skin comes off, but you'll be equally satisfied with your baby smooth feet. An EOS Vanilla Cashmere shea butter body lotion designed to deliver lightweight and long-lasting moisture (24 hours to be ~exact~) without that horrible greasy feeling other moisturizers can leave behind. Your skin will not only feel super smooth, but it'll also smell like heaven on earth (aka cupcakes). A light, nonsticky Touch in Sol No Poreblem primer so you can create a makeup look so smooth and skin-like that people will ask, "What are you using?" They might assume you're a magic elixir, because those pores? Minimized. Sebum? Controlled. Skin? Silky smooth. Your makeup looks are sure to turn up a notch with this! And a tube of Elizabeth Mott Thank Me Later eyelid primer, it can grip your eyeshadow even more effectively than Fairy Godmother's wand, because it'll last way past midnight. Your eyeshadow will be shine-, crease, and oil-free, so you don't have to worry about touching up your perfect look! Sol De Janeiro's Bum Bum Cream that delivers IMPRESSIVE results for people wanting to smooth and tighten skin — and that's all thanks to its caffeine-rich guarana extract formula. The notes of salted caramel, vanilla, and pistachio will have you in self-care heaven with how good it smells, too. And a tube of nongreasy Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to help tighten skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles — *and* not strip your skin of moisture thanks to the hyaluronic acid. Reviewers are "impressed" with how this works because it's lightweight, absorbs instantly, and delivers solid results. A pack of two dark spot corrector soap bars formulated with powerhouse ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and turmeric to help hyperpigmentation disappear — just check out this reviewer who made her dark spot of 20 years *poof* into existence. And the shea butter, olive oil, and hyaluronic acid mean your skin won't be left feeling dry or stripped. Cosrx Snail Mucin 96% Power Repairing Essence — its star ingredient, snail mucin, might sound like it belongs in a witch's cauldron, but it actually can help hydrate skin, heal acne, and smooth the appearance of fine lines on all skin types. People of *all* ages love this — so when you finally get in on one of the most viral skincare products out there, you'll be equal parts impressed and annoyed you didn't get this sooner. Kerasal's multipurpose nail repair solution that'll help treat fungus, cracks, and even nail psoriasis. It works to reduce discoloration and thickness while hydrating and exfoliating brittle-looking nails so they look (and feel) healthier overall. It's not an instant fix, but with consistent use, it does deliver noticeable results. Just apply it with the built-in applicator twice a day for the first week, then once daily after that — and let the ~glow-up~ begin. Essence Lash Princess mascara so you can instantly lengthen and volumize your lashes with its cone-shaped fiber brush (without annoying clumps or globs), so you'll feel like a falsies expert without overworking yourself. It's also super affordable, so this may be your new go-to! A Briotech spray with hypochlorous acid, an antibacterial ingredient that can help reduce inflammation, redness, and irritation. Spritz this on your face as needed (like after a workout!) to help target acne-causing bacteria and soothe skin. It's often compared to the Tower 28 SOS Spray, which is pricier (and has the same key ingredient!). An I Dew Care mattifying dry shampoo powder that'll fool everyone into thinking you just showered today because that hair? It's looking more voluminous with not one hint of greasiness. Just dab this ultra-fine powder into your roots, shake out the product, and style — then you're done! Retinol body lotion to help skin appear tighter and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sun damage. With consistent use, it helped reviewers with the appearance of textured skin on their upper arms and legs. An illuminating L'Oreal moisturizer for a glow that easily rivals the infamous Drunk Elephant's bronzing drops. It's designed to be worn alone, under foundation, or use it as a highlighter on your cheekbones! You may end up liking this *more* than Drunk Elephant because it's less glittery. A Wonderskin lip stain that goes on blue but leaves behind the prettiest rosy tint — and yep, it's totally waterproof and smudgeproof. Just swipe it on, wait 10-30 seconds, then wipe it off with a damp tissue to reveal a long-lasting flush. You can use it in place of lip liner since it doesn't budge and outlasts those pricey pencils. Fewer touch-ups and more money in your pocket? Yes, please. A sensitive-skin friendly Shea Moisture body wash made with 100% virgin coconut oil that smells like a little vacay to somewhere tropical.

Cooked: Celebrated Chef exits new venture after allegedly balking at free food for influencer because she wasn't famous enough

A prominent San Francisco chef threw in the apron at his newly opened cafe after allegedly belittling a TikTok influencer during a tense exchange over her follower count aired out in a viral video. The incident unfolded Wednesday at Kis Cafe in Hayes Valley, when 'micro-influencer' @itskarlabb described how she had pre-arranged a collab with the restaurant's team and showed up early to film content, according to a video she posted to her platform. 3 Influencer @itskarlabb was allegedly belittled by top chef Luke Sung over her supposedly low follower count, leaving her running from his new California restaurant in tears. itskarlabb/tiktok The influencer, known as Karla, claimed that a man — later identified as celebrated James Beard Award-nominated chef and co-owner Luke Sung — questioned her 15,000-follower count and told staff it was a 'mistake' to invite an influencer so small. 'I know they're talking about me, because I can hear them saying 'TikTok, views, followers' ,' she said in a later video, which has racked up more than 20 million views. The influencer said that when she introduced herself, Sung grilled her over whether she had researched the restaurant, a wine bar serving small bites. She insisted she knew the menu and the vibe, but Sung disagreed and began scrolling through her TikTok feed at full volume within earshot, the influencer said. 'After scrolling like, two times, he says to me that he doesn't think my videos are at the level which he wants his restaurant represented,' she recalled. 'It seemed like he was insinuating that my followers would not be able to afford to eat at this restaurant.' 3 Sung couldn't take the heat after the pair's alleged exchange went viral and left his new venture. San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images Sung then reportedly asked, 'Do you know who I am?' and told Karla he was a two-time James Beard Award finalist and that his daughter is Big Apple vlogger, Isa Sung, who has 600,000 TikTok followers. He also dismissed the influencer's cooking videos she posted to her platform, dissing them as 'homey,' Karla said. The belittling exchange left her in tears, she said. 'I told him I felt disrespected and didn't want to collaborate anymore,' the influencer said. Karla's follower count has since skyrocketed to more than 350,000 since she shared the story on TikTok. The influencer said she wants to 'be an advocate for micro influencers' who don't receive as many handouts. 'You don't need to have a million followers to be respected or feel like you're making a difference,' she said. 3 Kis Cafe, which opened in May, announced that Sung had left as chef and co-owner. FOX By Friday, Kis Cafe's was getting cooked on Yelp, where its rating plunged from four to five stars to just over two stars, and reviews for 'Isa '– a 'pioneering' Cal-French restaurant that Sung previously opened and named after his influencer daughter — grew with haters lambasting the chef for his behavior. Kis Cafe, which opened in May, soon announced that Sung had left as a chef and co-owner, later clarifying he had done so of his 'own accord' and was not technically fired. 'Our chef's behavior was unacceptable, and he is no longer a part of the team,' Kis Cafe wrote in an Instagram post Thursday. The restaurant said it has now temporarily closed to 'restructure.' 'We want to create a space that's welcoming and respectful to everyone. In this instance, we failed to do so,' Kis Cafe said in a statement.

Robot Tries to Bust Dance Moves, Flames Out in Epic Disaster

Braving the dance floor in broad daylight — or even just when the overhead lights are on — frequently does not end well. Your clumsy moves, weird facial expressions, or catastrophic blunders will likely be captured by someone with their phone out, who will then quickly deliver the footage to potentially millions of eyeballs online. On that note, we now report that a robot has eaten dirt after trying to show off some of some dashing choreography — and seemingly had its soul sucked out of its corporeal form in sheer embarrassment. If androids dream of one day becoming Gene Kelly, this one just had those ambitions shattered. The dance floor tragedy was captured in a video that recently went viral on social media, though its original source is unclear. Thankfully, it's a robot, so we don't have to feel bad for laughing at it — because, reader, you will laugh. Note our doomed reveler's oversized clothes and its wide-brimmed hat. The hat was seemingly the robot's mojo; when it falls off, the robot suddenly stops dancing, takes a few hesitating steps like a dazed cartoon character that got walloped over the dome, and boom: ass meets floor. It can happen to anyone. But then the mechanical humanoid then goes completely haywire and starts flailing like a roach flopped on its belly that's also being electrocuted, freaking everyone out in the process. The onlookers gasp. One kid recoils in terror. And of course, laughter eventually emerges. This was one robot that couldn't take failure. "It's feeling real human pain. Unimaginable pain," wrote one commentator. "He'll have the rest of his life to grapple with this," replied another. "It's hell." The robot appears to be a G1 model built by the Chinese robotics company Unitree. They've become popular little companions, at least as far as $16,000 consumer robots go, and are the subject of a growing wave of humorous stunts filmed for social media. They charm with their diminutive, four-foot stature, and impressively human-like gait, and can be pre-programmed to perform whatever wacky stuff you imagine. Earlier this year, Unitree started playing up the G1's dancing prowess after releasing an update that improved their ability to keep moving — and keep their balance — even when interrupted. This was demonstrated in a video shared by the company in which a human rudely keeps whacking a G1 with a broomstick. Unitree also showed that the bot was capable of whipping out kung fu moves. They may be capably agile, a few momentary interruptions of balance notwithstanding; everyone fails. But clearly, the bots have a long way to go in the composure department: another video that recently went viral showed a Unitree G1 suddenly start thrashing so violently that it causes the crane that it's suspended from to crash to the floor.
