Everything TikTok Made Us Buy — Fashion, Beauty and Home
Though the past year -- and the beginning of this year -- has been wild and unpredictable (don't worry 2021, we still have high hopes for you), TikTok has been the MVP in bringing us all a healthy dose of joy. And with all of the hours of entertainment and attempted choreographed dances, we’ve picked up more than a few helpful life hacks and unexpected product reviews.
When the ET Style team see an item trending, we trust the algorithm and add it to our cart. Let us tell you: TikTok does not disappoint. From affordable fashion finds, like the best Lululemon dupes from Amazon and surprisingly perfect jeans from Walmart to the best drugstore mascaras, heated eyelash curlers and kitchen tools you didn’t know you needed, TikTok became the ultimate destination for anything you’re shopping for (and even the things you're not). So much so that once an item goes viral on the Gen-Z approved social media app, there's no question it's bound to sell out. Case in point: the affordable Gap jeans with a flawless fit that TikTok users can't stop raving about. Plus, you'll find unexpected items -- like a heated mattress pad or an easy-to-use outlet extender -- that you never knew you needed (until now, that is).
Ahead, shop all of the items that TikTok made us buy that were 100% worth it.
