Introduction

Viral beauty products promise a lot, but do they actually deliver? We tested a wide range of the most talked-about items, from jelly perfumes to magnetic hair extensions, to find out which ones are worth the hype. Some were incredibly satisfying, while others left us questioning their existence. Here is our honest breakdown of the products that made the cut and the ones that did not.

Jelly Perfume from Sol de Janeiro

The Sol de Janeiro jelly perfume was rated as one of the most satisfying products in our lineup. It comes in three different scents, and the packaging is undeniably cute, resembling a jelly stick. The scent is sweet and candy-like, and it projects well from a distance when sprayed.

However, the fragrance does not last very long. After about four hours, the scent fades significantly and can only be detected up close. At around seventy dollars, we feel a traditional spray perfume or a scented lotion might offer better value for the price.

Rainbow Dream Eyeshadow from Orbella

The Orbella Rainbow Dream eyeshadow is a multi-colored chrome eyeshadow that makes creating a full eye look incredibly easy with just one swipe. The palette includes shades like Aurora, Reverie, Enchanted, Spectral, and Futuristic, each with a unique finish.

The colors are vibrant and blend beautifully, making it a versatile addition to any makeup collection. It also came with a free gift, a chrome lip gloss with a pink-purple shimmer that looks stunning when applied. This product is a great choice for anyone who loves experimenting with color.

Cherry Cola Hair Dye from Bleach London

The Bleach London Cherry Cola hair dye was a highly anticipated test. We tried it on multiple hair colors, from dark brown to platinum blonde. The dye has a subtle shimmer, not glitter, but with a slight color-shifting effect that is quite pretty.

On dark hair, the result was a deep, rich color that shows a hint of red when hit by sunlight. On lighter hair, the color came out much darker than expected, leaning more toward a grape cola shade than cherry cola. While it is not a miracle product, it delivers a nice, subtle color change that many will appreciate.

Gel Nail Pens from Candy Stix

The Candy Stix gel nail pens are a game-changer for at-home manicures. They apply thick and opaque in just one coat, which is impressive. The set includes a variety of cute colors in red, pink, and nude tones, along with a quick-dry light and a top coat.

We tested them on press-on nails and created an ombre look with ease. The pens are easy to control and the results look professional. This is a satisfying and affordable product that we would definitely recommend and repurchase.

Foundation Palette from Bimpey

The Bimpey foundation palette offers full coverage with a creamy, blendable formula. It includes multiple shades that can be used for foundation, contour, and concealer, all in one convenient palette. The packaging is cute and reminiscent of toy makeup.

However, the lightest shade was much lighter than expected, giving a ghostly appearance. We managed to salvage the look with a contour bronzer, but it was not as seamless as the promotional videos suggested. It is a decent product, but it requires some practice to get the right shade match.

New Blurring Powder from Laneige

The Laneige New Blurring Powder has one of the most interesting packaging designs we have seen. The holes are nearly invisible until you press on the container, which releases a fine, silky powder. The texture is smoother than baby powder and feels incredibly soft on the skin.

It does an excellent job of setting makeup and blurring imperfections. The application is satisfying and the finish is smooth. This is a high-quality setting powder that lives up to its name.

Lip Gloss Set from B. Louie

The B. Louie lip gloss set is a giant lip gloss tube that contains ten different lip products. The set includes shades like Cherry Cola, Cherry, Cherry Pickle, Cherry Blossom, and Black Cherry, with a second layer of glitter versions underneath.

At eighty-two dollars, the value is impressive, as the individual products are worth one hundred and seventy-four dollars. The shades are wearable and the glitter versions add a fun twist. This is a great deal for anyone looking to expand their lip collection.

Magnetic Hair Extensions

Magnetic hair extensions are designed to be a less damaging alternative to traditional extensions. They use strong magnets to clip into your natural hair, and they blend surprisingly well. We tested the filler kit, which is meant to add volume rather than length.

The magnets are incredibly strong and hold securely. The extensions look natural and can be easily removed and repositioned. We even discovered a trick: you can dye blonde extensions to match your hair color for a seamless look. These are a great option for anyone who wants to add volume without the commitment of permanent extensions.

Glow Holo Pimple Patches

The Glow Holo pimple patches are holographic stickers that are both cute and functional. They come in various shapes, including stars and teardrops, and are made with hydrocolloid, which helps absorb impurities. We compared them to cheaper one-dollar versions and found that while the ingredients are more extensive in the expensive version, both adhere equally well.

The holographic design is a fun twist on traditional pimple patches, and they are satisfying to apply. For the price, the cheaper versions offer similar results, but the Glow patches are a nice treat if you want something special.

Medicube Mask

The Medicube mask is a sheet mask that dries down to a porcelain-like finish, creating a smooth canvas for makeup. We used it as a base for a chrome eyeshadow look, which involved applying a chrome powder on top of the dried mask.

The result was a metallic, almost robotic finish that was surprisingly cool. While it is not an everyday look, it is a fun and satisfying product for anyone who enjoys experimenting with avant-garde makeup. The mask itself is easy to use and removes cleanly with a makeup wipe.

Kaleidos Chrome Eyeliner

The Kaleidos chrome eyeliner is a red chrome liner that makes a bold statement. The packaging is sleek, with a transparent tube and a black and red ombre design. The liner applies smoothly and has a metallic, reflective finish.

It looks striking and adds a dramatic touch to any eye look. While it might not be an everyday product, it is perfect for parties or themed events. The color is unique and the quality is high, making it a fun addition to any makeup collection.

Gucci Green Lipstick

The Gucci green lipstick was voted as one of the least satisfying products in our lineup. The shade, named Princess Olga Green, is a deep green with a metallic sheen. While the color is interesting, it is not practical for everyday wear.

The lipstick is from Gucci, so the price is high, and it was even sold out, requiring a purchase from a reseller. It might work for a costume or a themed party, but it is not something we would reach for regularly.

Buying Advice

When it comes to viral beauty products, it is important to manage expectations. Some products, like the Candy Stix gel nail pens and the B. Louie lip gloss set, offer excellent value and performance. Others, like the Gucci green lipstick, are more novelty items that are fun to try but not practical for daily use.

Consider your own needs and preferences before purchasing. If you love experimenting with bold colors, the Orbella Rainbow Dream eyeshadow and the Kaleidos chrome eyeliner are great choices. If you are looking for everyday staples, the Laneige blurring powder and the magnetic hair extensions are more practical investments.

Conclusion

Our journey through these viral beauty products was both fun and revealing. While some products exceeded our expectations, others fell short. The key takeaway is to do your research and choose products that align with your personal style and needs. Whether you are looking for a satisfying sensory experience or a practical beauty solution, there is something in this list for everyone.
