I stopped by Good Day Philadelphia with the scoop on the latest beauty trends shaking up Instagram. From #bubblemasks to #peelofflipstick, this is your guide to the latest makeup and skincare trends for summer ’16. 

#PeelOffLipTattoos

This trend is making the rounds on social – just in time for a scorcher of a summer. The peel off lip tattoo is a K-beauty export that’s racking up views on Instagram for that oh-so-satisfying climax of the lip peel. This “tattoo”  delivers a punch of color that doesn’t wear off and lasts all day, you simply apply a thick, evenly spread layer with a lip brush and let it dry for 10 minutes before you peel it off to reveal a matte finish.

#BubbleMask

You’ve probably seen faces that look like a foam cappuccino on Instagram, and no, they are not interviewing for a gig as a barista, this is actually another innovation from – you guessed it, Korea! The ‘bubble mask’ has inspired its own hashtag (#bubblemask) and typically starts as a gel that transforms and ‘grows’ on the surface of the skin.

You can actually hear the effervescent bubbles and feel them pop, much like bubble wrap, right on your skin. It’s a bit gimmicky, but it does help deep cleanse pores and some formulas brighten and clarify with Vitamin C.

A combination of powerful antioxidant actives include Green Tea, Acai Berry and Spirulina, that boasts a high chlorophyll content, stimulating healthy nail growth – indeed ideal for recuperation between gel manicures. It’s so easy to apply, just polish it on with the doe foot applicator and massage into the nail bed. The mask washes off in the morning with water, leaving you with hydrated, healthy nails.
