Fun fact: back when I was dating my ex boyfriend of eight years, there was a time, six years in, when he suddenly became a master at picking out gifts. He randomly surprised me with an amazing Simple Modern Tumbler Cup ($25) on a casual Wednesday, and a few weeks after that a set of Bala Bangles ($55) was delivered to our door. At the time, TikTok wasn't even a blip on my radar, so imagine my surprise when I finally downloaded the app and learned that TikTok personality Christina Najjar, aka Tinx, was the real Santa Claus behind all of my new favorite products.
Tinx first came on the scene after going viral on TikTok, and she's known for her "Rich Mom Starter Packs" and overall relatable content. Recently, she just published her second book, a novel titled "Hotter in the Hamptons." The story follows Lola, an influencer who finds herself canceled after making insensitive comments during an Instagram livestream.
These days, my ex boyfriend isn't the only one buying the products Tinx suggests - her 1.5 million followers are on board as well. So when the opportunity arose to grill her on her beauty favorites and trends, I took it.

If you've ever scrolled the TikTok FYP and stumbled upon one of Tinx's videos, chances are you'll be able to recognize her by the eye patches she always seems to be wearing and the Skinny Confidential Hot Mess Ice Roller ($79) that rarely leaves her hand.
She's also been using the DMH Aesthetics Light Shield Mask ($199), which first gained popularity after Kourtney Kardashian was seen using it on Poosh and social media. "It has three different light settings, and it says it kills bacteria and beats wrinkles, so I just pop that on whenever I'm watching TV," Tinx says.
One new thing about Tinx you might not recognize? Her current hair color, which went from dirty blond to a darker hue. "I watched that movie 'Sliding Doors' a lot when I was growing up [with Gwyneth Paltrow], and in the movie, she changes her hair when she has a big life change," she says. "I just felt like I needed to usher in a new era and just try something new. I'm really happy with it."
"I just felt like I needed to usher in a new era and just try something new. I'm really happy with it."Still, don't get too used to her current color, as her recent hair change probably won't be her last. Taking inspiration from Kendall Jenner's latest look, Tinx even had a moment with red hair. "Kendall Jenner is obviously the most beautiful person in the world, and she just dyed her hair red, and I was like 'Oh! I can do it, too.' I think I'll look like Kendall Jenner, but I'll probably look like Pippi Longstocking."
When it comes to keeping her hair healthy through all the photo shoots and color changes, Najjar says she washes her hair two to three times a week, and if she doesn't have an event, she opts to let it air-dry. To deal with hair damage, Najjar turns to hair masks, like the Ouai Treatment Mask for Fine to Medium Hair ($38). "It is so good. You need to get this hair mask. It's literally life-changing. I'm obsessed with hair masks almost as much as I'm obsessed with face masks, and the Ouai one is phenomenal."
As for other hair products Tinx is using right now, she's a big fan of the Bed Head Tigi Hair Stick ($14). "I'm obsessed with the hair stick that everyone was loving, the Tancho stick. That sold out, so I got the Tigi Bedhead One, and that one works just as well," she says.

Tinx is also influenced to buy TikTok-famous beauty products just like the rest of us - stars, they're just like us - and one of her current favorites are the wands from Charlotte Tilbury. "I have tried the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm Wand ($42) that is literally sold out forever, and it's absolutely incredible. I love all of the wands. They're worth the hype."
Although she occasionally succumbs to the power of TikTok's influence, she's not always so easily swayed. Facial slugging, which has ticked up in popularity on the app these past few months, is a trend she's definitely avoiding. "I don't think it's for me, because I break out," she says. "Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I tried, and I'm not even going to lie to you - maybe it wasn't so much that I was breaking out, but that I just can't go to sleep with all of that gunk on my face. I know people swear by it, but to me, going to bed with a big thing of Vaseline on your face . . . I just couldn't fall asleep."
As for what's next for Tinx, we'll just have to wait and see, but for now, you can purchase "Hotter in the Hamptons" ($20) just in time to have the perfect beach read this summer.
