As much as I hate to admit it, I am extremely vulnerable to good digital marketing. Give me an aesthetically pleasing picture and rave reviews, and my interest has most likely been piqued. Unfortunately, this savvy marketing leaves high expectations that are usually disappointed when the product doesn't quite live up to the hype. However, there are these rare unicorn products that are not only praised on Instagram, but actually deliver IRL results.
There are a handful that I am ashamed to admit that I was influenced by something I saw on Instagram, and after testing, I am so happy that I am inferior. Not only did they live up to the hype, they have become products that I use with high rotation and have even recommended them to friends and other editors. From the intriguing fragrance that has now become one of my signatures to the bronzer that delivers the best sheen I've ever had, below are the 12 best beauty products I've tried based on Instagram.
Le Labo fragrances are as lively as possible, and as much as I love the Santal fragrance, I hated the idea of ​​smelling like everyone else. Enter The Noir 29. Its heady smell is the perfect mix of male and female with just the right notes of cedar, bergamot and musk.
Chanel's compact ones are as pretty as they are functional, and I dare say his bronzer is the best I've ever had. It looks super natural and has the perfect warm and radiant formula you are looking for in a bronzer. Dust up just a little to shine from the inside, or layer up the buildable formula for a more dramatic look.
I never thought hand soap would end up on my most wanted list, but Byredo's ultra-chic selection of soaps changed my mind completely. Its heavenly scents and light formula (not to mention the aesthetically pleasing packaging) actually make me look forward to washing my hands.
The Libre perfume by YSL not only has a really cool packaging, but its floral smell is a pleasure for your senses every time you spray it. With notes of lavender, orange and musk, this whimsical fragrance is guaranteed to compliment you.
After seeing the various Hum Nutrition supplements in all of my feed, I finally gave in and tried the Skin Heroes Pre + Probiotic. Since then, both my skin and my digestion have been consistent. I take two a day now and have not looked back. I also recently added vitamin About Energy B to my routine and felt a steady flow of energy throughout the day.
Biossance has become one of those brands that I tell all my friends about. Ever since I saw Aimee Song raving about her account, I've been thrilled. The company is absolutely clean (it even has the EEC seal of approval, which is no easy task) and is still formulated in such a way that it delivers real results. Its Squalane + Vitamin C rose oil brightens your skin tone and balances it like no other. It belongs in every medicine cabinet
Another supplement company that I was skeptical about but is now fully on board is The Nue Co. I regularly drink too much coffee, so Nootro Focus supplementation was a lifesaver. It uses L-theanine, ginkgo and rhodiola to increase your focus and make you feel clear all day.
As someone who already has too many masks that I don't use often enough, I wasn't sure if I had to add another one to my medicine cabinet. But Summer Fridays' overtime mask has become one of my favorite peeling products. It gently peels off your dead skin and shows softer, more even skin without irritation – and as someone with sensitive skin, I know exactly how rarely this can be found in a mask.
I don't usually like body glow products, but Chanel's shimmering gel formula is the exception. It gives you a red carpet-worthy shine with no sticky feel (which is the problem I have with most products of this type).
It took me a long time to jump on the glossy train (I know I'm a late bloomer), but when I tried the Balm Dotcom, I knew the hype was real. It is extremely moisturizing and can be used as a multi-purpose product. Put something on your lips and tap something on the highlights of your face for a subtle highlight.
Body lotion is a hit or miss for me, but the Malin + Goetz formula makes it easy. From hydration to consistency to smell, this body lotion is one of those you can't stop.
