Unless you've been living under a literal rock, you probably know who Alix Earle is. I, a casual viewer, have followed her for a while now, and if there's one takeaway I have, it's that her lighting is always ✨flawless✨.
So naturally, I hunted down the exact light the reigning queen of TikTok uses, and found out you can get it on Amazon Canada.
It ain't cheap, but honestly, it's worth every cent of the $48.99 I paid for it. I mean, just look at the difference it makes.
First off, this thing is BRIGHT. I turned it on and seared my retinas immediately. Frankly, I think it should come with a warning label, but I digress.
Once I got over the shock of being momentarily blinded, I got to setting it up. It comes with a regular phone clip and a back clip that you can slide your phone into with the light attached (great for taking videos with your phone's back camera). We love options!
It's super thin, pretty lightweight (which is shocking for its size), and, in case you forgot, VERY BRIGHT.
And when you're not using it for lighting, it can double as a phone stand. How neat! How useful!
TL;DR: This is *the* light you want if you're jonesing for cinema-level lighting for your selfies and TikToks. And, if you're ever stuck trying to find your keys in the dark dead of night, it'll probably come in handy for that, too.
Get it from Amazon Canada for $48.99.
