TikTok, Whitening Tooth Polish and TRESe...

KIRBIE JOHNSON AND SARA TAN
About this episode

TikTok is the reason many of us have kept our sanity this year due to its thriving algorithm and insanely watchable videos. There's tons of beauty gems to be found but also quite a few ideas we wouldn't recommend partaking in. Today we're explaining the best and worst of trends from the 'Tok, from creating dark circles with makeup (???) to a lawsuit that has many TikTok users throwing out their shampoo and conditioner. Before you overhaul your haircare, listen to today's ep to get a handle on what's really happening.


We also discuss two products we are super impressed by this week: drops that instantly dry your nail polish and a new beauty brand that doesn't compromise on performance while also making products that are truly Earth-friendly.
