I’ve been watching for 8 weeks—here are the beauty products that it girls are currently using in secret.

      I have a slight obsession with being a detective. Perhaps it’s the true crime podcasts I listen to while preparing dinner or the innate investigative instincts many women possess, but I excel at uncovering the beauty products that celebrities use discreetly. Whether it's the unmarked bottle seen in a dressing room selfie or the partially hidden, label-free perfume in a bathroom snapshot, I often tap into my overflowing knowledge of beauty to pinpoint the cleverly disguised items (with labels turned away or bottles cropped out) based solely on the packaging. (Honestly, it’s typically the products celebrities don’t promote through endorsements that they use the most.) Celebrities and internet influencers have mastered the art of disguise, aware that a candid shot of the products they actually keep on hand, which aren’t tied to brand deals, can cause them trouble. Yet, some stars are unfazed—or perhaps just authentic—and occasionally post unpaid, non-promotional product photos that remind us they’re just like us. For instance, consider the exact shade of Barbie-pink blush that Olandria Carthen used recently, which I found on her makeup artist’s page, or my recent favorite: the Sol de Janeiro body cream seen in the shared sprinter van of Tyla and Zara Larsson during the Coachella weekend. The findings of my detective work don’t stop there. Continue reading for more.

      Sol de Janeiro Rosa Charmosa Dewy Body Cream

      Singers Tyla and Larsson not only made headlines during their exciting Coachella weekend filled with surprise performances (PinkPantheress brought Larsson on stage during her set in the second weekend, where she revealed a brand-new rendition of "Midnight Sun"), but they also showcased their genuine friendship through their well-documented girls trip. This included memorable moments like a photo of Tyla. Once I diverted my attention from the singer’s sparkling lower back “tattoo,” I quickly noticed Sol de Janeiro's beautifully scented Rosa Charmosa Dewy Body Cream placed behind her. Let’s be honest—the desert sure can be dry!

      All eyes were on actress (and yes, the great-granddaughter of Ernest) Dree Hemingway as FX's American Love Story premiered, but I was more focused on the fashion-savvy star's Instagram. She wore Dior's cooling under-eye patches while preparing for an event, hydrating and energizing her under-eyes. Many celebrities are now seen using eye patches as fashionable accessories, but none look as elegant as this designer pair.

      Vaseline Cocoa Butter Petroleum Jelly

      Larsson is known for numerous things: her viral glittery glam, a vibrant tour wardrobe that fits her beach siren vibe, and her candid online presence. An Instagram post from two weeks ago offers a glimpse into her hectic tour life, showcasing moments from naps to hotel hangouts with friends. However, what caught my attention was a photo featuring Vaseline's Cocoa Butter Petroleum Jelly (after I registered the clementine and burning incense stick, of course). Though a drugstore buy, this snapshot proves that staples are effective for everyone—even celebrities on tour.

      Anastasia Beverly Hills Magic Touch Blush Trio in Pink

      If you've ever pondered which pink blush Carthen uses for her signature bubblegum-pink cheeks… you’re not alone! Until I discovered a post from her makeup artist, Kimora Milan, shared during a recent Barbie activation at Coachella, where she noted in the caption that the vibrant pink look was achieved using Anastasia Beverly Hills' Magic Touch Blush Trio in Pink. These cream blushes are incredibly easy to blend and build, allowing anyone to create a pigmented look like Carthen's effortlessly.

      Hemingway has showcased her beauty skills in an Instagram reel that reveals her simple yet sophisticated Paris Fashion Week glam routine, completed only with Saie beauty products. Her first step was applying the popular Glowy Super Gel over clean skin, which not only hydrates but also imparts a glitter-free glow. It can be used all over the face, like Hemingway does, or for targeted spots where you want a concentrated shine.

      Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Berry

      In a now-deleted post by Jenner, the model shared a photo of her open handbag featuring the Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Berry with the label facing down. Nevertheless, it’s hard to overlook this bright-pink packaging. Laneige is a favorite among editors and celebrities alike, with this glossy lip balm standing out for its convenient packaging, highly moisturizing formula, and shiny finish. It’s no wonder this star keeps a rosy tube nearby.

      YSL Beauty Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick

      I know that Dua Lipa is a YSL Beauty ambassador. However, doesn’t this rosy monochromatic lip and cheek look on the "Levitating" singer make you want to replicate it? A few swipes of this smooth, nourishing stick give a buildable wash of color and noticeable hydration. Finish the look with the coordinating Y
