TikTok Made Us Do It: Are These Viral Products Worth It?

written by JESSICA WELSH

The Everygirl’s product selections are curated by the editorial team. If you buy something through our links, we may earn an affiliate commission, at no cost to you. We only recommend products we genuinely love.

If there is one thing our entire team has slowly but surely given into, it’s TikTok and TikTok trends. At first, we were reluctant, and then we were all in. A day rarely goes by where we don’t discuss at least one of the latest trends, products, or dramatic feuds that seemingly take the app by storm overnight. 

And yes, all of the drama, dances, and silly trends are fun to watch, but can we just take a moment to realize the sheer power teens on TikTok have in selling out products? We’ve seen it happen with the Aerie Crossover Leggings, Abercrombie ’90s Jeans, the Simple Modern tumbler, and so much more. Our editors have tried them all, and we’re here to give our recommendations on the products that were, in fact, sell-out-worthy.

These are the items taking over our Slack channels and making their way into our daily routines—the ones we truly just can’t stop raving about. It’s the workout wear we’ve come to own in multiple colors, the beauty products we rebuy every time we run out, and the fashion pieces that have become wardrobe staples. 

Keep reading for the viral TikTok products that are Everygirl editor-approved and definitely worth the purchase: 

 

The Ness
Rebounder

I’ve not only seen a mini trampoline all over TikTok but also all over the TikToks and Instagrams of celebrities, so obviously, I had to get my hands on one and try it for myself. I saw people TikToking about it for not only the good workout benefits (according to a study done by NASA, it’s more effective than jogging!), but because it also offers lymphatic drainage benefits to assist in the body’s natural detoxification system, and if you twist while jumping, you can have added digestive benefits. No surprise, I am hooked. I love my at-the-gym workout sessions too much to give them up, but this is the perfect quick (but crazy effective) workout when I only have a short time at home, and I go on it to jump when I need an energy boost because it’s just that fun and energizing.

Cloud Pillow slides

Talk about having a pep in your step—these slippers are the best! I keep them right by my doorway for when I need to go chase after my Postmates order or grab the mail. They’re really affordable and super comfortable—a win-win in my eyes. I love how light they are—it truly feels like I’m walking on a cloud. Even better, these slippers get comfier over time as they adjust to your feet.

Spin Mop

If you are anything like me, then you have always been a Swiffer Sweeper girl. It took exactly one Tiktok video of how much dirt the spin mop can pick up for me to make the switch over. The first time I mopped, I was shocked at how much dirt it picked up. I can truly say that swapping out my old Swiffer Sweeper mop to this spin mop has helped my house become so much cleaner!

Press-On Nails

Although I’m far from a pro when it comes to applying my own press-on nails, TikTok has definitely made me a believer in the process. Seeing the amount of time and money saved by doing this at home was already a plus. With such a cute array of nail sets fit for each season, I’ll for sure be on YouTube for the next month or so perfecting my skills.

Clip-on Pasta Strainer

I have a terrible habit of watching Tiktoks about Amazon kitchen essentials and then buying the products, but I have absolutely no regrets about buying this clip-on pasta strainer. Pasta is a staple in my house, and using these strainers instead of a big metal colander makes the clean-up so much easier and saves space in my cabinets. I actually bought a second one because of how easy they are to use and clean.

Charlotte Tilbury
Contour Wand

I couldn’t watch one more makeup tutorial without giving this product a try. I was so excited when it was finally in stock and ordered it right away. This wand is great for contour beginners because it is so easy to apply and blend out. I love cream products for a more natural look and now use this as my everyday contour. If I want to define it even more, I’ll go over it with a powder bronzer for a more glowy look.

Old Navy
Sweat Shorts

The TikTok girls are onto Old Navy, and after seeing these pop up on my home page a couple times, I bit the bullet (for under $20, what did I have to lose?). After getting them in the mail and wearing them for a couple of days, I literally ordered five more. I’m so obsessed with how these look and feel and have been wearing them every single day with a cropped tank and my Birkenstocks for an off-duty look that still feels a bit cool. 10/10.

SOJOS
Oversized Retro Sunglasses

I saw one of the many fashion girls I follow on TikTok wearing these, and I’m not sure if I’ve ever opened my Amazon app faster. I had been admiring the Bottega pair that look just like these for quite a while, so when I saw that there was such a great (and insanely affordable) dupe, I knew I had to get them. Plus, they’re the SOJOS brand, which I’ve bought before, and I have always been impressed with the quality. These feel much more expensive than they are, and I always get a ton of compliments on them.

Faux Leather Tissue Box Cover

This might sound silly, but hear me out: This product is a valuable asset to your life. I always hate the look of tissue boxes and can never find options that match the decor and overall aesthetic of my home. I saw a couple of home TikTokers (including my favorite Amazon finds account, Teresa Caruso) post about this and decided I absolutely needed it—and I don’t regret it at all.

Acupressure Mat and Pillow Set

It’s no secret I’m a sucker for any wellness product, so naturally, when I came across this TikTok-approved acupressure mat and pillow, I had to have it. And let me tell you, it’s the real deal. With over 6,000 acupressure points, the tight muscles in my neck, shoulders, and back don’t stand a chance. I’ll admit, it took a couple of times to get used to the sensation, but once I did, I became obsessed. I like to use it as a recovery tool after a workout, anytime I feel a headache coming on or need to de-stress, and before bed to help me wind down. It's made of natural linen and coconut fiber filling (who knew?)—need I say more?

Colorfulkoala
High Waisted 7/8 Length Leggings with Pockets

The only way to describe this material is that it feels like butter. Prior to having them, I didn’t understand what that meant, but after trying them, I couldn’t imagine wearing other leggings again. These check the rare box of being a pair that I both want to work out and lounge in because of the unique material; they aren’t just cotton like so many lounge leggings, but they also aren’t a dry-fit material like most workout leggings—they’re truly in a league of their own.

The Ordinary
AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

This is one of my favorite facial treatments because it's one of the few where I can actually see immediate benefits. I make sure to do it in the mornings because for the rest of the day post-peel, my skin is so glowy! I also notice that when I do it consistently, I have significantly less blackheads.

Simple Modern
Classic Insulated Tumbler with Straw

Am I obsessed with Simple Modern tumblers? It's safe to say yes; I have one of these filled with perfectly chilled water always in arm's reach. I transitioned from being a loyal Yeti user and I will never go back for a few reasons: The slim grip is easy on my hand to hold, the straw is slip-free, making sipping extra enjoyable, and its insulation is truly noteworthy—it takes 12+ hours for a cool beverage to lose its chill.

BUTABY
Retro Rectangle Sunglasses

I bought these sunglasses after I broke my Ray Bans (RIP). I love that they're super affordable, on trend, and come in a pack of two! I've definitely gotten a ton of use out of them so far.

Paula's Choice
2% BHA Exfoliant

I caved and bought the 2% BHA Exfoliant so I could test the magic for myself. The formula takes a moment to get used to—initially, I was really skeptical since it feels quite oily on the skin. Despite my doubts, I’ve actually gotten used to how the formula feels, and after around eight months of use, it’s made my hallowed list of auto-buy repurchases. My favorite part is how gentle it feels, with no burning, itching, or stinging like other exfoliators—both chemical and physical—that I’ve tried.

Weighted Exercise Fitness Hoop

I bought my weighted hula hoop after TikTok swore that it would make me lose inches off of my waist, and while I'm not measuring, I've found that even hula hooping just 10 minutes a day to my favorite songs has been the ultimate dance party and a great, quick way to get my heart rate up for a quick cardio sesh. It could have been the worst purchase of my life, but honestly, it's been one of the greatest.

The Mellow Sunset Lamp

I'd seen the sunset lamps all over TikTok and knew it would be the perfect afternoon light by my bed for reading, watching TV on my laptop, or just scrolling on my phone (likely on TikTok). I love the beautiful muted, warm light it adds, and it makes my apartment feel like it's a beachfront villa in Bali instead of nestled in between a bunch of buildings in Chicago.

Revlon
One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer

As a longtime hater of blow drying my hair, I was reluctant to try this one. My coworkers and friends have been singing its praises long before TikTok, but I just wasn't on board yet. Then, after watching some of the most beautiful at-home blowout routines I've ever seen, I finally caved. I won't lie and say this tool doesn't take a while to get used to, but once you do, it is oh-so-worth it. I truly think it is the only tool that could ever come close to providing me with that post-salon feeling.

PAVOI
Lightweight Chunky Hoops

I seriously cannot open TikTok without seeing at least one "outfit of the day" video that ends with "and the Amazon gold hoops!" Well, ladies, these are the hoops. They are by far my most worn earrings of the year (like, it's not even close). They are lightweight, go with everything, and come in multiple sizes so you have an option for every occasion. The best part? They do not tarnish. Do yourself a favor and add them to your cart ASAP!

Lemedy
Workout Tank Top

I wear this thing everywhere. I’ve gone to the gym in it, I’ve worked from home in it, I’ve napped in it, and I’ve worn it under a puffer during winter grocery runs. It’s lightweight, breathable, and functional AF. When I go to the gym to do an incline walk, a weightlifting session, low-impact HIIT, or yoga, I leave the pads in. When I’m lounging at home, I simply slip them out.

Aerie
OFFLINE Real Me High Waisted Crossover Legging

The crossover legging trend is one I wanted to jump on immediately. I love how flattering the style is on all kinds of body types. However, as I was researching different options, I just could not bring myself to spend $70-$100 on another pair of leggings. The AE crossover leggings answered all my prayers. They’re just as comfortable as my Lululemon Aligns for a fraction of the price. I will say, they don’t offer the most structure or support, so I wouldn’t wear them for any intense workouts. As everyday leggings, though? There couldn’t be a better choice.

Abercrombie & Fitch
'90s Ultra High Rise Straight Jeans

After years of gravitating toward cropped jeans, these full-length ones not only feel super flattering, but they also just feel cool. They’re a little more of a rigid fit for me, but I find that they’re still extremely comfortable and I love that they don’t stretch throughout the day. If I had to get rid of all of my jeans except one, this is the pair I would keep. I love how they make whatever I style with them look better, and they’re going to be the gift that keeps on giving for me.

Jergens
Natural Glow Wet Skin Moisturizer

I have always loved to be bronzed but always hated the process of getting there. Self-tanners are tedious and messy, spray tans are expensive, bed tanning is an obvious no, and, unfortunately, I live in Chicago, where we are blessed with sunshine for only about half the year. Enter: this gradual self-tanning lotion. I had seen it all over TikTok and was very intrigued, so I decided to give it a try. Now, I am obsessed and don't think it will ever not be a part of my routine. It is so easy to add to the end of my shower, it's not messy, and not only does it provide a beautiful natural glow, but it also moisturizes my skin unlike anything else I've tried.
