TikTok user @finalgirl_avery is just one of the many shoppers who have taken to the social media platform to show off the Romantic Bear Lip Tint. In the video, they hold up two pink shades and start applying the darker version like a lip gloss. Once the lip tint has fully dried, they simply peel it off, then complete their makeup look with a nude lip liner topped off with some clear lip gloss.
Other shades included in the variety pack include orange, cherry red, light pink, sexy red and watermelon. If you want a peek at what some of the other shades look like, @daniarribere tried on the cherry red color and gave it a *chef’s kiss.*
Keep scrolling to see the full video.
Both reviewers and TikTok users suggest applying a gloss as a top coat to really help the lip stain shine. You can also use a handheld fan to help the formula dry faster — especially if you’re in a rush.

Tattoo Magic Color Lip Stain
$13.75
This peel-off mask-inspired lip stain has captured beauty lover’s eyes for its ability to give your lips a pop of color without breaking the bank. Rather than drop $20 on one tube of luxe lipstick, you can get six shades ranging from pink to cherry red and all for $14. One reviewer even went as far as to say “it’ll be replacing all my lipsticks.”
Before application just make sure your lips are moisturized as one shopper says “you will see more coloring in the cracks of the lips.”

The Midnights singer paired the skort with an oversized button-down top while taking a break from her Eras Tour to hang out in New York City on Monday (June 26). The exact style is still available on Free People, but we don’t expect it to stay in stock long. It’s not uncommon for Swifties to quickly sell out everything from her tour to Swift outfit finds.
While she donned the skort in blue there are, thankfully, three colors total allowing you to still wear the same style piece.

Fortunately, we’ve found a great weighted blanket alternative on Amazon, with a number of companies introducing weighted heating pads. As the name suggests, a weighted heating pad uses pressure and heat to help ease cramps, muscle soreness, tension and stress.
This one, from the wellness brand OCOTRO, is one of the best-reviewed weighted heating pads online, with more than 70% of users giving it a full, five-star review. At just $27.99 right now, it’s an easy pick up to help with stress relief and recovery.
Amazon
Weighted Heating Pad for Back Pain Relief
$27.99 $29.99 7% OFF
The pad weighs just over 2 pounds, with tiny weighted beads set inside 32 “grid pockets.” Because the beads are stitched into individual grids, the weight is evenly distributed throughout the pad, with no worries about any beads sliding around.
Four different temperature settings let you adjust the heat to your desired level, with a range of 95 degrees to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
Measuring 12 x 24 inches (about the size of a hand towel), this heat pad is easy to use and lets you wrap it around your legs and shoulders, or set it on your waist and back. The plush microfiber material is soft and cozy, while staying super breathable; it’s machine-washable too.
This set gets you the weighted heat pad and a seven-foot-long power cord with an attached remote control to adjust settings. Built-in safety settings prevent overheating, and the heating pad will automatically shut off after two hours (most reviewers say they use it for 15-20 minutes at a time).
If you’re looking for a way to ease muscle tension, back aches, cramps, bloating or just everyday stress, you’ll want to try a weighted heating pad. An Amazon deal gets you this best-selling weighted heat pad for just $27.99 right now. See full details here.
