What can I say? I’m easily influenced.
As a consumer, I try my best to be intentional when I shop. My top 3 categories are skin care, home decor and, gym equipment. Any video about the latest Lululemon dupe or body wash immediately catches my attention. My algorithm knows this which presents me with two problems. One, I’m constantly bombarded with products I would find useful, and two, my wallet begins to yell at me as I take my card out for another purchase. But here we are, I want to discuss my top 3 purchases TikTok has influenced me to buy over the past 2 months.
- Naturium Products
I have never heard of this brand before hearing Black women on TikTok sing Naturium’s praises. Specifically the Glycolic Acid body wash and their Glow Getter body wash. For my girls who suffer from KP, dull and dry skin, these 2 body washes have completely changed my skin. The Glycolic Acid body wash is the most crucial step in my corrective shower routine. Glow Getter is a body wash I use daily especially now that this winter has been brutal on my skin.
- CRZ Yoga Leggings from Amazon
With a description like “High waist Butter luxe” how could I not buy it? CRZ Yoga is a fitness brand primarily sold on Amazon with leggings that are so soft I couldn’t believe the price. In comparison to Lululemon, these leggings are a steal. I’ve purchased 4 pairs of leggings and 3 yoga tops and they gave me the confidence boost I needed. As a self-proclaimed gym rat, switching up my style and colors is easy now that I found an affordable brand to play with.
- Bathroom Shelf organizers
You can never have enough storage in your bathroom. Besides the medicine cabinet and underneath the sink, finding convenient ways to store beauty and household cleaning items is always a task. I found these shelf organizers on Amazon that decluttered my medicine cabinet and made my shower routine a lot easier. They come in different shapes and sizes so you can store soap or hang your wash rag. The best part is the adhesive! My shelf is directly beside my shower head so it gets wet pretty frequently. No issues with the shelf slipping and I have A LOT of items on it. 10/10 would recommend.
My list of TikTok purchases was longer than 3 items and I had to think hard about the items I use most frequently. Anything to optimize my quality of life is my jam so I’m happy to share this with anyone who likes to do the same!
Until next time~
