Fresh From The Vine: Breaking Down TikTok’s Viral ‘Tomato Girl’ Trend Makeup

Published on by Lee5 Comments

TikTok never fails to introduce us to the latest niche style trends, and right now, the tomato girl aesthetic is taking our feeds! This captivating look has exuded carefree European vacation vibes, inviting us to bask in the relaxed ambiance of an Italian coastal getaway, sipping on an Aperol spritz without a worry in sight. Hashtags like #tomatogirl and #tomatogirlsummer have already amassed millions of views and counting, showing that this trend knows no boundaries and can be embraced by anyone, anywhere in the world.

What Is The ‘Tomato Girl’ Aesthetic?

The ‘Tomato Girl’ aesthetic is all about channeling the perfect Euro vacation with chic sartorial choices that feel effortless and exude carefree Mediterranean holiday vibes.

A ‘Tomato Girl’ wears reds, reminiscent of sun-ripened tomatoes from the local market and the color of the sun. White ruffle dresses, gingham patterns in baby blues, delicate florals or fruit prints, comfortable linen sets, triangle headscarves, and chic woven basket bags, are also common aesthetic choices.

So why tomatoes? Well, why not? “This aesthetic is inspired by a woman who is as bold and vibrant as the juicy tomato she holds in her hand. Whether we’re lounging on a beach or frolicking through a field, we can take a cue from the Tomato Girl and radiate confidence, vibrancy, and a zest for life.

Tomato Girls prioritize dips in the ocean over maintaining a blowout. Whether she’s heading to the local markets for fresh vine-ripened tomatoes or aperitivo hour for an Aperol spritz, the base makeup is light and is always Sunkissed and undone.

Want to hop on the tomato girl bandwagon? The easiest way is through your makeup! Let’s dive into the secrets of achieving this viral look and let the summer vibes flow.

What Does ‘Tomato Girl’ Makeup Look Like?

The tomato girl makeup is suited for those who hate spending a lot of time getting ready, but still want maximum results. Start with your favorite base routine of choice. During summer, we prefer a light layer of Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 20 Sunscreen, followed by a creamy concealer like Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Positive Light Under Eye Brightener along with Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Liquid Touch Brightening Concealer to dab beneath the eyes and on any blemishes. You can use a damp beauty blender for quick and easy application. 

Now, it’s time to add the tomato effect to the tomato girl makeup trend. The key to this look is a terracotta-based blush that will give you a rosy, tomato-like glow. After many trials, we’ve concluded that Saie’s Liquid Cheek Blush in Spicy – a warm terracotta, and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush- Love – matte terracotta are the key to unlocking the perfectly ripe flush. This highly pigmented shade works well on all skin tones. When applying, be sure to sweep onto the apples of your cheeks and blend out. Don’t be afraid to layer on more blush than usual to nail this look. For final touches, find a good lip gloss like Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm and Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil to tie back into your rust-colored cheeks.

Basically, ‘Tomato Girl Makeup’ is all about simplicity at its finest, very similar to the ‘clean girl makeup‘. Keep things simple with multitasking products that can be applied in seconds, with or without a mirror. A touch of concealer (only where needed), a lip and cheek stain for a pop of color, curled lashes, a bronzer plus a swipe of clear brow gel should do the trick.

We Tried Rhode Skin — Here’s What We Really Think

Published on by Lee5 Comments

In the ever-evolving world of skincare, Rhode by Hailey Bieber has emerged as a brand worth watching. Bieber’s impossibly dewy glow has had fans begging her to drop the skin routine — and she finally did, in the form of a line of carefully curated skincare essentials. Take a scroll through Hailey’s Instagram and you’ll find her products sprinkled throughout like Easter eggs, tempting you to know more. Seeing her juicy vacation lips and that sleek lip gloss she seems to take everywhere, we just have to know: are her products worth the hype? We decided to find out.

Advertisements

What you should know about Hailey Bieber’s Rhode products

Rhode’s product line spans six products, ranging from a moisturizing cream to a gel serum. But the star product is their peptide lip treatment, emblazoned with an Allure Best of Beauty award. Infused with high-performance ingredients, the products seem to focus on one goal — moisture. Ooey, gooey, dewy, delicious moisture to keep your skin happy and hydrated. The brand prides itself on its simplicity, which you can see from the packaging, and aims to be your go-to essential. And because they highlight authenticity as one of their brand values, we tried each product in the line to give our most authentic take on whether they live up to their hype.

Barrier Restore Cream, Rhode, $29.

I’ve heard great things about the Rhode Barrier Restore Cream (BRC) so I couldn’t wait to try this product out. I have sensitive and dry skin where I normally get oily and dry around my T-Zone, so I initially get nervous and need to be careful trying new products. I also only break out when it’s my time of the month (and right now it’s time), so I was hoping this would calm my skin down — and it did. I like the BRC. It’s not thick or oily, it’s fragrance-free and smooth on my skin. I applied it after doing my usual skincare routine and the BRC was what I needed to lock everything in place. My skin feels moisturized right after and it kind of helped bring the redness of my breakouts down.

Half a finger length, as it suggests on the packaging of the cream is all that’s needed to work its magic and make your skin feel restored. While I do enjoy this, I don’t love how it feels during the day under makeup. To me, it felt a tad bit heavy and moved a bit. I would rather use it at night as a moisturizer alone and I feel like my skin would appreciate it more. 

Peptide Glazing Fluid, Rhode, $29.

One of the best tricks to always having that glowy “no makeup” look is to start with a skincare serum that can do just that. For that reason, I do love Rhode’s Peptide Glazing Fluid. It gives you that “lit from within” look that comes through your finished makeup look, or just a simple refreshed, and hydrated look for those no-makeup days (which is how I’ve been using it the most).

While I’ve truthfully used some serums that give me a more immediate glow, I feel like this product just has to be used for a longer period to gain that look consistently. I did appreciate how smoothly it goes on without a heavy feeling or a sticky residue that some serums leave behind. For now, with just a week’s worth of use, I can confidently say I will be adding it into my skincare routine to see just how much of that iconic *glazed donut* look it can give me.

Peptide Lip Treatment in Unscented, Rhode, $16.

I’ve been hearing all about Hailey Bieber’s Rhode skincare line for a while now and as a self-proclaimed lip gloss expert, I knew I had to get my hands on the Peptide Lip Treatment. At first glance, I liked how the formula includes shea butter, babassu, and peptides to help create and maintain “pillowy-soft” lips. The application is easy to apply and practically mess-free. It leaves my lips feeling smooth, soft, and moisturized without leaving creases or gloss lines behind. The moisture lasted for about four hours before I felt like reapplying again. 

Advertisements

I like this product and think it’s a great investment for someone who is looking to splurge on a high-quality lip treatment. It can be used on its own or on top of your favorite lip liner and lipstick. A bonus is that it works well on sensitive skin so you don’t have to worry about feeling irritated after a long wear. Also, a little goes a long way with this product and you can feel the positive difference on your lips instantly. I’m a fan of this ‘new philosophy on skincare’ by Mrs. Bieber.

The balm is available in three flavors – watermelon slice, salted caramel, and an unscented version. So you can take your pick and have loads of fun. The product adds the extra oomph and gloss and all things good that give your lips the much-needed tender loving care.

FINAL VERDICT

While all of Rhode’s products are solid options worth trying if you’re looking for hydrating products or an entry into skin care, they’ll have to be combined with other products to target specific skin concerns that acne-prone or mature skin types might want to treat.

If someone is combating more severe acne, hyperpigmentation, or inflammation, they would need to utilize skin care with active ingredients that are tailored to treating such skin conditions.

PRIMP TIP: Of course, if you’re concerned about any of the ingredients, it’s best to consult your dermatologist.

Advertisements

As for user experience, all of the products are accessible and well made (and use recyclable postconsumer materials when possible), but I noticed that the Peptide Glazing Fluid bottle contains less product than you might think when looking at it (the cap is nearly the same volume as the bottle itself).

Have you tried Rhode Skin? And if so, would you be willing to try Rhode cleanser, toner, vitamin C, and eye cream if they extend their line?

Viral TikTok Pepper And Cucumber Salad

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

This Viral Pepper and Cucumber Salad is popular for a reason! It’s sweet, tangy, spicy, and full of flavor. It works great as a quick afternoon snack or side dish.

This salad recipe came from the amazing Rachael Kirkconnell who recently took TikTok by STORM with this creation. As soon as I saw her recipe, I knew that I had to try it out. And truth be told, it may just be my favorite cucumber salad recipe yet.

I am in love with crunchy salads like this. Not only are they easy to make, but they’re so fresh, flavorful and it’s a great way to get your veggies in.

So whether you’re looking to have glowing skin this summer, or are just looking for a delicious recipe that comes together in just 5 minutes, then I’ve got you covered with this recipe! It’s quick, it’s simple, and it’s sure to make you glow from the inside out.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Viral Pepper and Cucumber Salad only take 5 minutes to make!
  • It’s the perfect side dish for any meal!
  • A great quick simple and healthy snack recipe that makes it easy to get your veggie servings in for the day.
  • It’s sweet, savory, and a little tangy!
  •  crispy, crunchy medley of flavors
  • Lot’s of yummy textures going on with the sweet crunchy peppers and juicy cucumbers.
  • Cucumbers are incredibly good for you and are super hydrating.
Advertisements

Health Benefits Of This Viral Veggie Salad

  • For starters, cucumbers are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory vitamins and minerals. Cucumbers contain vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, vitamin K, B vitamins, manganese, and copper.
  • The potassium and vitamin found in cukes are beneficial for regulating fluid balance, which can help with blood pressure and bone health. Finally, cucumbers are one of the most hydrating foods out there: Each one is comprised of about 96 percent water. This is important, seeing as most folks are chronically dehydrated, especially as the weather warms.
Advertisements
  • Meanwhile, peppers—another hydrating food—are packed with immune-boosting benefits. Peppers have more vitamin C than oranges, and also contain potassium, folate, vitamins A and E, and are rich in various antioxidants.
  • To put the immune benefits of peppers into perspective, one cup of sliced raw red sweet pepper has 118 milligrams of vitamin C; meanwhile, one cup of oranges has about 97.5 milligrams of vitamin C. (The recommended daily intake is 65 to 90 milligrams.)

Ingredients And Substitutions

These are the main ingredients and substitutions for Viral Pepper and Cucumber Salad. Scroll down to the recipe card for a full list of ingredients and instructions.

Advertisements

The base of this salad is made with sweet tri-colored bell peppers. These are the small mini ones, not the large bell peppers. Although, I’m sure both would work!

I used Persian cucumbers for mine, but you can also use regular cucumbers. I love using Persian cucumbers in this recipe because they are smaller and crunchier than traditional cucumbers! Plus, they’re a tad sweeter, which adds the perfect flavor to this recipe.

For a bit of crunch, add on the chili oil onion crunch from Trader Joes. If you don’t have a trader joe’s near you, don’t worry. Most stores sell it!

If you haven’t tried a chili crunch topping yet, then what are you doing!? This delicious seasoning adds the perfect amount of heat to this recipe, and is buildable, so you can truly add as much as you’d like, depending on how spicy you like it!

What makes this dish special is the ginger dressing. You can use store-bought or homemade, whichever you prefer.

Sprinkle on some Everything But The Bagel Seasoning to finish it off. This adds a savory flavor and a bit of crunch. Again, I get mine at Trader Joe’s, but most stores sell it! Also, it is on Amazon too. This simple seasoning is packed with flavor to take your salad to the next level!

How To Make

ONE: Start by slicing the sweet bell peppers and dicing the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces.

Advertisements

TWO: Add the veggies to a bowl and top with the ginger dressing, chili oil crunch, and EBTB seasoning. Mix well until each veggie is well coated.

Advertisements

THREE: Serve as it is, or enjoy with your favorite meal.

Tips And Tricks

Use sweet tri-colored bell peppers. These are different than your standard bell pepper.

Any store-bought dressing that has ginger in it will work! If you can’t find ginger dressing, you can use an Italian dressing.

Is This $2 TikTok Trending Lip Liner A KKW Dupe?

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Never thought we’d find a lip liner for $2… But here we are. Say hello to TikTok’s latest obsession: Italia Deluxe’s UltraFine Lip Liner, $2, AKA the lip liner creamier than butter but cheaper than your daily latte. Here’s why four million TikTokers (and us) cannot stop talking about it. 

The TikTok-Trending Lip Liner: Italia Deluxe UltraFine Lip Liner, $2

What it is: An easy-to-use pencil lip liner that glides effortlessly with minimal effort and zero tugging. Oh, and it’s available in 31 saturated shades.

The hype: Although humbly priced at $2, these pencils rival some of the best-selling formulas in the lip liner bizz (but more on that later). @loveashleyzenith says she’d still buy them even if they were x5 more expensive – if that doesn’t explain the hype, we don’t know what will.

@lovezenith_

I’ll still buy them even if they go up to $5 😂 #fypシ #foryou

Wanna buy 12 at once? Take notes from @kativoryia and shop their 12-pack on Amazon for just $9. #Beautybargains!

This is for anyone gutted that KKW Beauty’s lip liners were taken off the shelves – you’re in luck! Shade Light Brown of the Italia Deluxe lip liners is considered a near-perfect formula dupe of the discontinued Shade 2.5, a gorgeous golden brown. Plus, it’s MUCH cheaper. Fair warning, there’s a difference in the packaging (one’s a twist-up), but for that price point? We’ll take it.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find a shade that doesn’t grab your attention. From coffee browns to burgundies, bold reds to berry mauves, there’s something for everyone. For a gorgeous nude shade, try Terra Cotta on fair complexions and Chocolate and Cabaret for a divine look on rich to deep skin tones.

What we liked: Discovering drugstore formulas is always exciting, but a $2 formula that performs better than its Spenny counterparts? That’s rare. It’s impossible to ignore how it delivers a shot of color with a single swipe – shook. Makeup newbies will adore its buttery texture, especially since it blends out in seconds, making it so much easier to line, sculpt, and define pouts.

FYI: Size matters with lip liners, and thankfully, these are longer than most, translating to increased product and value for the $2 bucks you spent. *Cue the squeals*

♬ original sound – Kriss&Esme

What we didn’t like: Cream lip liners – like this one – can be more likely to smudge, so don’t forget to re-examine your lip look every few hours. On the downside, regular top-offs also mean that pencils’ sharp tips are bound to become blunt after a few weeks. If only they included a built-in sharpener… But we’re just nit-picking here. 

The bottom line: STOCK UP! This pigmented lip collection is (undoubtedly) the drugstore steal of the century, with $2 lip liners in 31 colors. While we’re obsessed with the price tag and the shade range, we have to admit that our fave feature is that it blends like butttahhh – #love.

BTW, here are six ways to line, elevate, and plump your pout with lip liners.
