- So when it comes to TikTok trends,
make sure you guys take this
with a grain of salt.
Don't try everything that's out there.
- Like sunscreen contouring.
Don't sunscreen contour.
Hello, and welcome back
to the "Adore Beauty" YouTube channel.
My name's Amy.
I'm a Adore Senior Editor.
- And I'm Sadaf, a content producer.
- Today, we are talking about...
(table tapping) Drum roll, please.
TikTok beauty trends.
- So we saw Lip Basting
on Dr. Shereene Idriss' Instagram.
So she's a famous dermatologist
who lives in America.
So she starts with putting a chemical exfoliant
on your lips and then following up
with something really hydrating and occlusive.
And it's just good for
when you have really dry, cracked lips,
which is me in winter.
- Yes. And the idea is it's a way to prep the lips
before you're gonna apply your lip gloss
or your lip liner.
I personally have never basted a chicken
or like a thing before, but what I've seen
from the movies is you're literally
like coating something in moisture
to really make sure that it's nice and juicy.
So we're gonna do the same thing with our lips.
You need an exfoliating serum
and also an occlusive kind of thick moisturiser.
And I've got the "Boost Lab AHA Glow Resurfacing Serum"
and the "Weleda Skin Food".
- And I've got the "ASAP glycolic acid"
and the "La Roche-Posay Cicaplast".
- Shall we baste?
- We shall baste.
- So, first step is applying your chemical exfoliant.
You can use your mirror if you want.
- I'm gonna go blindly. - Okay.
I'm gonna use my...
(Sadaf laughs)
Just get it on there.
Your serum...
Feels like a serum.
Ooh, I'm getting a tiny bit of tingling.
- Ooh. - They're not burning.
So if you do this
and your lips are burning,
please stop. - Stop.
(both laugh)
- It's meant to chomp away
at the dead skin cells to reveal smoother lips.
You put the really thick cream on
and then you just let it sit there.
You finish the rest of your makeup.
And by the time you're done,
theoretically it will have all absorbed in
and you're ready to do your lips.
You're rocking like the 90s concealer lipstick trend.
- Ah, triggered.
It actually feels really nice
and silky. - Sorry.
I'm getting some really interesting tastes.
Mm. - [Sadaf] Oh my God.
- So now we're basting
and we are going to just let our lips baste.
While we try the second trend, which is Al foil,
as a anti frizz hack.
On TikTok, I've been seeing these videos everywhere.
Basically, people are using a square bit
of Al foil and running it over their hair
and allegedly something to do with the static-ness
and whatever, it smooths down flyaways.
Both of us are quite...
- Frizz prone.
- Yes. Frizz prone, frizzy gals.
So I was keen to try.
I've just got some lovely Coles brand, you know
whatever you've got at home.
One bit for you. - Ooh.
- One bit for me.
So we don't have a mirror,
so we're just gonna rely on you, Maddie.
Tell us if it's working.
All right, let's do it. - Right. Let's go.
(foil crinkles)
- I think you need to do it with...
You need to press down
and have like a bit of tension too.
So kind of like when you're straightening your hair,
you're like following it down.
- Oh, okay. Yeah.
Feels like a head massage.
Weird.
(foil crinkles)
Oh yeah. - [Maddie] It kinda did work.
- I feel like that did kinda work.
- [Maddie] That is working better when you're like...
- When you follow up.
- Ah, okay.
So when we go like this. (foil crinkles)
- I think I'd probably still use a...
Not really.
- Hang on. I feel like...
Can you go again?
Cause I almost feel
like the hair is actually sticking
to the foil and coming out more.
- Okay.
- Okay. This is having the absolute opposite effect
on Sadaf's hair.
When you go to the science centre
and you put your hands on the globe
and it's like (buzzing).
Jury's kind of out on the--
- Well, for some, not for others
- But it might just
be the most affordable hair styling hack I've ever seen,
regardless of whether it works.
It's time to wipe off our lip basting
because our third TikTok trend is actually a product.
Wipe my baste off.
- It feels really soft.
Yeah. My lips feel a bit more supple.
I feel like if I did that,
like every night before bed,
it would help a little bit
with dry, chapped lips. - Exactly. Yeah.
My lips are feeling super smooth,
but the real test will be
when we apply the lip product.
The third trend we're doing today,
is the "Black honey Clinique Almost Lipstick".
I dunno about you,
I saw this everywhere
when it first launched.
- It's supposed to suit every skin tone.
- We wanted to show you like IRL in real time.
So you can see how the colour looks
on two different skin tones.
And our natural lip colours are also very different.
I like to describe my natural lip colour
as corpse or dead body. (Sadaf laughs)
- Mine are naturally a bit darker.
So I tend to stay away from colours
that look like this cause I think,
"Oh my gosh. It's gonna deposit
like a really dark colour
and that's just not the life for me."
- So without further ado,
let's see what this colour looks like.
First thing is that it's very much,
I think a lip balm. - Yeah.
- So I mean, the name is like "Almost Lipstick".
- Yeah. It feels really balmy.
And it's like quite silky.
- Mm.
In terms of the colour,
how are you finding it?
- Yeah so this is 1 1/2 coats I'd say,
but I wore it last week
when we went to Fashion Week.
You can see our Vlog here.
And it gave like a really light berry colour
as you can see, which I like,
or as you described red wine like stain
and I don't usually like berry colours.
I think they're too dark and don't suit me
but I quite like this.
Yeah. And yours looks more glossy.
- So I've done about 15 coats.
This is like my perfect every day.
My lips put better colour. - [Sadaf] Yeah.
- I feel like my lip should naturally
be this colour. - Yeah.
- To match my hair.
That's just how I feel.
- I think if I go another one,
maybe for nighttime, it'll go deeper.
But I think for my skin tone,
1 1/2 is enough, but I love that.
I think it's quite natural.
If someone with my skin tone wanted
to try like a berry, red wine-ish balm,
this is perfect.
- And it looks really different on both of us.
Mads, you wanna do a close up of our lips?
- [Maddie] It does look a bit different.
- So you can see like how the colour
can suit both our different skin tones
and lip colours.
But I didn't find it as hydrating
as maybe other dedicated lip balms.
- Okay.
Sorry.
I just also test to see--
- Okay guys,
we have some live-- - Breaking news.
- Breaking news.
You can use this as a blush.
- Oh like it as a blush too.
- I love this tone on you.
- I really never thought I could wear this tone.
- I feel like this is an excellent example
of why you should still try things
that you have always thought would never suit you.
Give it a go.
Cause at the end of the day, it's just makeup.
Wash it off.
Trend number four is Hand Slugging.
You might have heard of slugging for the face
which involves applying your hydrating products
and then sealing it in with petroleum jelly.
Vaseline. I personally wouldn't do slugging
at home just because--
- Sticky. - Yeah. Sticky.
And also it might make you break out.
But I actually saw a beauty editor
from "Refinery 29" try the hand slugging version
which essentially takes the same steps
that people do on their face,
but doing it for dry crusty winter me.
So the products you need for this are...
Step one is a hydrating serum.
I've just chosen the "Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic acid"
because it's very thin.
So that's your first step.
And then second step...
Did I bring my hand cream?
What's in my bag of tricks here?
Then you need any hand cream,
any old hand cream and a big tub of Vaseline.
I've actually skipped ahead and have tried this trend.
Unlike our other trends today,
this trend actually requires a bit of time.
You need to apply all your products
before bed, sleep in them.
And then the idea is revealing softer,
smoother hands in the morning.
So I've already done it.
So here's some live footage from past me.
So my hands and I are ready
to give this hand slugging a try.
(bottle cap clicking)
(hands rubbing)
I'm literally just gonna get a big old scoop and
rub it over the top.
Then on goes the gloves,
sealing off that moisture.
Really let them just marinate.
My God, I can't turn the camera off
because I'm wearing gloves.
Oh my God.
How do I do this?
- So how do your hands feel?
- Well, how do my hands feel?
- Soft? They do feel soft.
- Bear in mind.
I will say I have been sitting
in the office air conditioning
for a couple hours now.
When I first woke up, I took my gloves off.
I was actually also shocked
that the gloves stayed on all night
because I was shocked that I hadn't thrown them
across the room or something.
But when I first woke up and washed my hands,
they felt so soft.
- Wow.
- And they looked really glowy.
I mean, there's a bit of glow.
- Yeah. I see a bit of glow.
- Maybe from the hyaluronic acid.
It's impossible to do anything
after you've put the gloves on.
- In bed like this. - I was like,
"Sam, can you turn my alarm on before bed?"
The beauty editor who I saw doing this on TikTok,
she had like visibly dry hands.
Like you could see a bit of flaking or whatever.
And she did it probably for three nights in a row.
- Oh, okay.
- I've done something similar for my feet.
You put moisturiser on and socks on before bed
but it can take a few nights to do it.
- I'm definitely gonna give that a go.
Cause I get really dry hands in winter.
(hands rubbing)
- So that is our four TikTok trends
that we've tried.
Are they worth the effort?
Debatable.
But if you're someone
that likes trying new beauty trends,
those four are four safe,
relatively safe TikTok trends to try at home.
- Thanks for watching guys.
If you've tried any of these TikTok trends,
let us know in the comments below.
- I'm like realising my buttons are like...
- [Maddie] Is that the one you walked Fashion Week?
- It is. - [Maddie] Someone commented
like you probably made $800,000 worth
of service for this.
- Oh.
Fashion influencer.
