From a sellout highlighter to a TikTok-famous primer, these viral beauty buys don’t stay on the shelves for long…


Social media plays a huge part in discovering new beauty products. From the hero hair conditioner that’s all over your TikTok feed to the pleasingly affordable retinol that you keep ‘saving’ on Instagram, the beauty buys that go viral online are often well worth the hype. But it’s one thing discovering a trending beauty product online, and a whole other ball game actually getting your hands on the product itself IRL. 

Thanks to the popularity of these viral products, they often don’t stay in stock for long. Luckily, we’ve rounded up 11 of the best viral beauty buys that have come back in stock recently so that you can stock up before they fly off the shelves once more…
