Celebrities often branch out from what originally made them famous, such as acting, to explore a new creative endeavor. The products they create usually are incredibly hyped up, but not all of them really live up to it.
Selena Gomez has been having such a wonderful year from producing movies to creating her own cooking show at home. Recently, she has branched out into another facet makeup and beauty, with her new makeup like called Rare Beauty. She has worked on this project for two years prior to its release in early September. She sent out PR packages to celebrities as well as makeup Youtubers who have all been raving about the quality of the products Selena and her creative team have produced. Specifically, the highest praise from those who have either been sent the makeup collection or bought it for themselves has gone to the Liquid Touch Weightless Foundation. This has been one of the most talked-about celebrity products over the past couple of weeks and the hype that it has received is accurately placed with this foundation. This foundation is a rarity itself because it is available in a wide range of shades, forty-eight to be exact, which is the biggest shade range I have seen produced for a single foundation for a mid-range makeup line. It is advertised as a medium coverage foundation with a natural finish and incredibly blendable. All of the claims about this foundation are spot on. This foundation blends into the skin so beautifully and gives medium coverage without looking caked on. It gives the skin such a natural glow and really looks like your skin. For $29.00, I think this foundation is a great option if you are looking for a natural-looking foundation that will give you medium coverage. Selena Gomez’s makeup line is sold exclusively at Sephora and on the Rare Beauty website and honestly is so worth the hype!

Another makeup collection of celebrity products is Fenty Beauty created by Rhianna. This makeup line has been on the market since September of 2017. All of the products from Fenty Beauty have received really positive reviews, but one of the most highly rated is the Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer which retails for $19.00. Along with customer and makeup gurus’ reviews, this product also received the Allure Reader’s Choice Award for 2020. There are seven shades in the range of lip glosses and they are advertised as super shiny, having an enriching formula for better feeling lips, and an important claim for lip gloss lovers, it is advertised as being non-sticky. My older sister has this product in the shade Fenty Glow and after trying it for myself, I can truly say that this is one of the celebrity products that lives up to the hype surrounding it. The Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer makes your lips look and feel so luscious! The formula, as advertised, gives your lips such a gorgeous shine without feeling sticky and the shade is so pretty as well. After using it, my lips felt super moisturized and looked so healthy. If you are looking for a great lip gloss with lots of shine, I definitely recommend you giving this one from Fenty Beauty a try.

Moving on from makeup collections to a more wide range of products, we have the brand SkinnyGirl which was created by Bethenny Frankel who was made famous for her time on The Real Housewives of New York City, which she starred on from 2008 until 2019. Other than the company’s food and beverage products, SkinnyGirl’s bestselling products are in their shapewear line. Specifically, the number one bestseller on the SkinnyGirl website is their Shapi Cami with Adjustable Straps. This shaping cami is advertised as being super lightweight and to have the ability to create the perfect fit for your figure due to the adjustable straps. It is made out of mostly nylon as well as a small amount of spandex. These shaping camis are sold in a set of two, are available in nude, black, gray, or white, and retail online for a total of $36.00 for the two shaping camis. I have seen these SkinnyGirl Shaping Camis in action, as my mom has a few of these from the brand. The material is so comfortable and stretchy, while still doing a fabulous job at holding everything in. The camis look so sleek underneath nice tops and dresses and these celebrity products are totally worth the hype if you are on the lookout for some good shapewear pieces that are still very comfortable.

One of the most popular jeans I have seen on the market is from the brand Good American which was created by Khloe Kardashian famous for the hit reality television show Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Known for their high-quality denim and creating a size 15, which is advertised as a midsize in their jeans that other brands do not offer. One of their top ten bestselling jean styles is the Good Legs Crop which retail for $175.00. These jeans are advertised as a skinny mid-rise jean that is super stretchy and sculpting. The fabric has a lot to do with the stretch and sculpt that these jeans are hyped up for. These jeans are made out of mostly cotton, rayon, elasterell, and a smidge of elastane. These fabrics combined together do really create such a comfortable fit that works to smooth and sculpt in all the right places. These jeans, like the hype surrounding them suggests, look so stunning on and last for such a long time. If you are in need of a good, staple pair of jeans then check out Khloe Kardashian’s brand Good American!

The last on this list of celebrity products is a bit more recent of a release. Nick Jonas has been famous for such a long time now for his and his brothers’ band, The Jonas Brothers. During their comeback tour in 2019, Nick began advertising his newest venture, Villa One Tequila. Nick collaborated with John Varvatos to create this brand of tequila that quickly became a love project for them. As it was partially created by a Jonas brother, there is a ton of hype surrounding the products. They launched the brand in September of 2019 and have come out with three different tequilas: Villa One Silver Tequila, Villa One Reposado Tequila, and Villa One Anejo Tequila. The tequila ranges in price from $30-50.00 and it advertised as a smooth tequila with a unique taste that aligns with Nick and John’s passion for living “life as it should be.” Their artesian claims for the tequila holds up due to the production process. The blue agave used in the tequila recipe is slow-cooked, double distilled in copper pots as per tradition, and freshwater drawn from the property in Jalisco. Drinking this tequila is truly an experience and the hype surrounding this company is well placed.
