masters of the craft know how much power posting a beauty product that
delivers visual impact, an authentic caption with a personal product review and
tagging the brand, has over driving up your follower count.

Especially if your photo has cotton candy shades, retro luxe accessories, or Back To
The Future-worthy formulations. These are some of our favourite products that will stop people mid-scroll.

Glossier Eau de Parfum, US$60

Let’s face it: you can’t talk about #shelfies without mentioning Glossier. Their brand is the true testament to the power of internet marketing. Despite the fact that most of their products are of basic drugstore-ish formulations, they’ve garnered such a massive following that new releases get sold out on the same day. Their Eau de Parfum, however, is definitely one worth a try.

 

Hair by Sam Mcknight Cool Girl Barely There Texture Mist, US$36

Did you know that Instagram posts featuring the colour millennial pink get 150% more engagement than average? We know the colour has been trending for three years, but it helps when it’s a product this good. From the brainchild behind Kate Moss’ signature tousled locks, this spray makes you look like you never even tried. It’s perfect for creating long-lasting dimension and texture.

Morning routine ☀️💗. This is going up quite late hopefully you guys don't mind. Btw today is the first day of Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale Early Access! I only purchased the diptyque candle set, are you guys picking up anything from the sale? 😍😍 I'm trying to be good and not overspend lol. ✨Cleanse #tatcha Soothing Rice Enzyme Powder ✨*Mask Tacha Violet-C Radiance Mask First Impressions: The color of this mask is so freaking beautiful 💜💜💜. It has a subtle scent but I can't pin point what it is 🙈. Texture wise it reminds me pudding and the application process was a breeze. I left it on for the recommended 15 minutes, during this time I didn't experience any tingling; instead it felt soothing. Washing it off took some time but overall not bad. In the end my skin felt pretty damn soft 😍. It also appeared brighter. I just uploaded a clip on my story of how my skin looked this morning. Right after washing off the mask, but before applying any other skincare. Let me know what you think ❤️. Also please excuse my dark under eyes, I have had a hard time sleeping lately. ✨Spritz Tatcha Dewy Skin Mist ✨*Essence Tatcha ✨Moisturizer The Water Cream Tatcha Loving this during the summer 🙌🏽 ✨Eye serum Tatcha ✨Eye cream Tatcha ✨Face Oil Tatcha ✨Sunscreen Tatcha My coworker is so freaking nice and gifting me her Tatcha sunscreen bc she didn't like it. If you guys have been following me for a while you know this is my holy grail sunscreen. I haven't used for a bit though, mainly bc I'm trying to explore other sunscreens lol. But this is still my number one 💜💜💜. *PR Gifted

Tatcha steals your attention with beautiful packaging, and this baby is not messing around with its purple-orangey ombre hues. The mask itself is a thick creamy paste in a gorgeous hue of lavender and feels like a cool, comforting blanket upon application. It’s incredibly soothing and you’ll actually see brightening effects after rinsing.

 

Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil, $78

If you need ‘something blue’ to balance out all the pink hues on your shelfie, Sunday Riley’s top seller should be on your list.
