Mikayla Nogueira’s POV Beauty Lip Launch

In this #DamnGood review episode, we’re testing the most viral products to hit our feeds this year. From a $6 drugstore cheek stain to celebrity launches and a $400 fragrance, we determine once and for all: are they really #DamnGood – or just hype? 

But first, we have a PSA "phone-a-friend" in partnership with the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) to chat with toxicologist Dr. Kimberly Norman about the potential risks associated with counterfeit beauty products. 

We break down:

• Our honest review of the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Hydrating Serum Foundation – is this actually the best foundation of the year? Plus, our take on the Tarte CC Under Eye Corrector. 
• The truth about Mikayla Makeup’s POV Beauty Lip Ampoule & AMP Kit. We test the longevity, texture, and why this launch has been so polarizing on TikTok.
• $6 Dupe vs. Designer: The viral ELF Sheer For It Blush Tint is the affordable dupe for Benefit Benetint – we compare the wear, pigment, and application tips.
• Primer showdown! Reviews of the Maybelline Poreless Jelly Primer and the viral hit Grown Alchemist Primer (millions of views!).
• Primo supremo? Does the Dua Lipa Augustinus Bader Ula line live up to the hype? Plus, our take on the esthetician-beloved Ziip Dot Nano-current Acne Device 
• Fragrance fever? Carlene tries out the highly sought-after (and highly priced) white floral scent Parfums de Marly Valaya Exclusif.
