Highlights
The next product is a stick foundation from Boca Rosa, a Brazilian beauty brand. She notes the popularity of stick makeup in Brazil due to its quick application and suitability for hot, humid weather. Though it's a bit warmer in shade than her skin tone, she likes its lightweight feel and ability to cover minor redness. However, it doesn't displace the Netherlands' product from the top spot.
The first stop is Iceland, specifically the Blue Lagoon, known for its hot springs and silica mud masks. The influencer tries the Silica Mud Mask, which is said to boost collagen and strengthen the skin barrier. Despite its ordinary appearance, she finds the mask pleasant and effective in making her skin glow. The Blue Lagoon mask initially takes the lead as the winning product.
Next, the influencer attempts a cold bath for beauty benefits, a trend suggested from Canada. While it's supposed to reduce inflammation and minimize pores, she finds the three-minute cold bath experience uncomfortable and painful, concluding it's not a podium contender.
From the Netherlands, the influencer tries Gisou's Honey Infused Hair Mask, a brand inspired by beekeeping. She praises its sweet scent, luxurious feel, and claims it made her hair shiny and soft after washing and styling. This product earns a spot on the podium.
Australia offers McoBeauty, a brand known for affordable alternatives to luxury makeup. The influencer tests their concealer, which she believes is a dupe for Tarte Shape Tape. Despite limited shade options, she finds it effective and sparkly, temporarily placing Australia on the podium.
Lithuania introduces Uoga Uoga's mineral foundation with amber, a unique ingredient known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The influencer applies it over her liquid foundation to set it, admiring its luxurious packaging. She finds it provides a beautiful, unifying, and matte finish but doesn't elevate it to the podium.
From Japan, the influencer tries Canmake's Luminous Finishing Powder, praising its cute pastel packaging and affordable price. The powder, a mix of colors, aims to even out skin tone. She finds it effective in mattifying and blurring imperfections, making Japan a strong contender for the podium.
India's viral product is Fae Beauty's Lush Blush. She also receives a lip gloss as part of a deal. The liquid blush, in a soft coral shade, proves easy to blend and gives a natural pink flush. She declares it one of the best liquid blushes she's tried but ultimately keeps Japan on the podium, preferring the setting powder's overall utility.
For the USA, the influencer selects Fenty's Diamond Bomb All-Over Diamond Veil, a popular highlighter. She is impressed by its packaging and texture, noting its creamy application and buildable glow. However, she enforces a new rule, disqualifying the USA from winning as she resides there.
Germany presents Essence Cosmetics' Polly Pocket eyeshadow palette. Despite the adorable, nostalgic packaging and design, she is disappointed by the lack of color payoff and vibrancy in the eyeshadows when applied, leading her to exclude it from the podium.
From Poland, the popular Inglot Gel Eyeliner is tested. She is amazed by its creamy texture, smooth application, and intense black pigment. While impressed, she admits she's not typically an eyeliner user, so it doesn't make it to the podium for her personal preferences.
Mexico's contribution is Prosa Maxi-Volume Mascara, praised for its affordability. She finds the brush thick and fluffy and notes its ability to define lashes without clumps, but she desires more dramatic volume, keeping it off the podium.
From Korea, Clio's Crystal Glam Tint is tried. She expects a strong jelly lip trend effect but is underwhelmed by the tint's subtle color and shine, finding it too light for her preference.
Morocco offers a traditional Aker Fassi lip tint, a solid pigment in an earthenware pot. Applied with water, it transforms into a vibrant red stain derived from pomegranate. She is highly impressed by its strong, quick-drying tint and cultural significance, placing it on the podium.
The UK presents Made by Mitchell's Glitter Slime for the body. She appreciates its branding, packaging, and strawberry scent, but its glitter intensity does not quite meet her expectations, failing to earn a podium spot.
Finally, from Italy, Kiko Milano's Eau de Parfum. She is drawn to its elegant bottle and Italian-inspired scent. The perfume smells sophisticated and pleasant, making Italy a strong contender.
The influencer reflects on the Moroccan lip tint staining her teeth, which she considers a drawback. She narrows down the top three contenders to Morocco, Japan, and Italy. She asks viewers to vote on her Instagram for the ultimate winner, who will determine her next travel destination for a complete makeover.
