TikTok is a great space to mindlessly scroll to avoid your responsibilities, but it can also be a place to spot cool, popular and innovative products. But because not everything lives up to the hype, we've rounded up this list of our top recommendations for which viral TikTok products are actually worth getting. 

Whether you're on the hunt for that one perfect shade of lipstick or that portable blender people can't stop talking about, we've gathered some of the best "TikTok made me buy it" products. Some of these items make for perfect gifts, while others can spruce up your home aesthetic or skin care regimen. Others are just a great way to treat yourself.

So, without further ado, here are our top picks.

Home and organizational finds

Amazon

This fragrance diffuser is compatible with Amazon's Alexa, and lets you customize and control your scent selection and intensity with the Pura Smart Fragrance app.

Amazon

Milk frothers -- and anything else related to coffee, really -- have been all over TikTok. This option from PowerLix is battery operated and comes with a stand.

Amazon

Keep your bathroom organized with these stackable clear drawers from Stori, which will help you see what you have and keep you from rummaging around while looking for that one bottle of foundation you swear you saw the other day. 

Amazon

These organizer bins can help keep your fridge, freezer, countertops and cabinets in order. This set from Utopia Home includes five drawers and one egg holder.

Amazon

A perfect companion for chilly nights, this blanket has six different heating levels and comes in brown, gray and red.

Tech accessories

Amazon

This sleep mask from Topoint also doubles as a pair of Bluetooth headphones (with a built-in mic for calls) so you can comfortably listen to music while falling asleep.

Amazon

This is probably one of the most recommended tech products I've seen from TikTok. This digital clock has a big display that doubles as a mirror, three levels of brightness and two USB ports on the side so you can charge your other devices. 

Amazon

These cord holders help keep all your wires within reach. Stick them on your desk or on any smooth surface to keep everything organized. This option from AhaStyle comes in packs of either three or five.

Amazon

Good lighting can make a world of difference in a video, and with the popularity of apps like TikTok, Instagram Reels and even Zoom, this LED light clip can level up your footage. Attach this rechargeable light to your phone, tablet or laptop, and give your content a leg up.

Amazon

This portable alarm offers some peace of mind in the event of any threat or danger. The keychain, from Taiker, makes a loud noise to signal for help and scare attackers. It also includes an LED light for walks at night.

Amazon

This one's fun and a little out there. My colleague Jessica Fierro has this suction case on her phone, and she's used it to attach her device to the wall so she can shoot without a tripod, and to windows in moving cars to get dramatic, TikTok-worthy footage of landscapes passing by.

Beauty and skin care

Revlon

My colleague Karisa Langlo raves about this product, noting it made her hair look "almost salon-sleek after just one try." Made for folks like us who aren't too good at juggling a round brush and a blow dryer, this product does the job of both, making luscious locks more easily attainable.

Amazon

Keeping your makeup brushes clean is important for helping maintain clear skin. This UV sanitizer from Brushean disinfects your brushes and kills up to 99.9% of viruses and bacteria. It also doubles as a way to store your brushes and prevent them from collecting dust. It comes with a built-in rechargeable battery, with one charge lasting up to 50 cycles.

Clinique

This is one of my personal favorite makeup products. Almost Lipstick has skyrocketed in popularity thanks to rave reviews on TikTok, with users saying it looks good with all skin tones. As a testament to its popularity, this product can be hard to pin down, since many vendors quickly sell out.

Amazon

This may be my favorite item on this list; I won't shut up about how much I love it. Dior Addict Lip Glow is that perfect lip balm that gives your lips a natural-looking tint, and it comes in a variety of shades and intensities (my favorite is Raspberry). The biggest downside is the price, but until I find a worthy replacement, I'll keep singing its praises. 

Ulta

With all the hype around hyaluronic acid, it's no surprise that this lip gloss is all the rage. Give lips a fuller look with this gloss, which also offers a hydrating shine.

Ulta

It turns out you can get great coverage from a foundation without breaking the bank. TikTokers are obsessed with this product that offers full coverage for a super smooth look. (Though many have noted it would be nice to have more shades.)

Target

This isn't the sexiest option on here, but it may be one of the most useful. Dermatologists and skin care experts on TikTok swear by CeraVe's facial cleansers, particularly the foaming cleanser for normal to oily skin and the hydrating cleanser for normal to dry skin.

Mugs, cups and blenders

Amazon

This rechargeable USB blender from PopBabies lets you blend a drink anywhere -- at home, at the office or while traveling, for instance. You can then drink your concoction out of the same bottle, making for an easier cleanup. 

Bed Bath & Beyond

The collapsible design of this mug makes it easy to take with you anywhere or throw in a purse or bag. It includes a straw, lid and heat sleeve, and is microwave and dishwasher safe.

BruMate

This BruMate Toddy XL stainless steel coffee mug is leakproof and triple insulated. It also comes in a range of fun colors.

Target

Simple Modern is another drink ware brand that's dominated TikTok. This stainless steel water bottle has a straw-equipped lid, and also comes in a variety of colors. There are plenty of other popular designs, too, like this stainless steel tumbler

Amazon

I can't make a list of TikTok items without talking about Stanley. You've probably seen not only the tumblers themselves, but also memes about how massive they can be, but, hey, you gotta stay hydrated. I have the IceFlow stainless steel tumbler with a straw, and I love it. It really does keep your drink cold for a ridiculous amount of time, and it's got a convenient handle that makes carrying easy.
