With Olive Young being the mega mall housing the most Korean cosmetic brands in one store, I’m not sure why I never knew they had their awards that happen yearly.  They’ve had their award system since 2015 and their awards are pulled from data on which products sold the most in each category.  Compared to Glowpick’s awards, I find Olive Young’s awards to be more generalized and less specific.  Maybe it would be fun to cross reference Olive Young’s to Glowpicks, so let me know if you guys want me to do a recap for Glowpick’s awards as well.  I recognized some products in the ..read more

I think it is safe to say that Romand lip tints have now reached a legendary status, am I right?  At this point, I have tried a lot of Romand lip tints and I have to say, this Romand juicy lasting tint is my favorite.  At first, I only stuck to one color which was the Romand Juicy lasting tint in 22 pomelo skin.  I then ordered two more to test out, however, I mistaken one of the shades to be one I didn’t have.  So….. now we have only two shades to swatch HAHA.  Nonetheless, I got another shade which is also amazing and another go-to.  Let’s get into why this vers ..read more

Happy 2024 everyone!  I can’t believe it is a new year already and yes, I do acknowledge I haven’t been on here for a while.  Life has been busy and a mess all at the same time.  So let’s get back into the wonderful world of skincare to keep everyone’s mind off of things haha.  After the sunscreen craze two years ago, the trend has continued, for me at least.  The mission to find the best Korean sunscreen continues.  One of my top favorites which I used daily was also from Cosrx, so when they came out with a new one called Cosrx Aloe 54.2 aqua tone-up sunscreen, I ..read more

It has been a since I have ventured back into the cosmetic side of the K-beauty world.  The last time I was in Korea at the beginning of this year, I made it a point to check out the new hot brand called Dasique.  I had to know why everyone was raving about their products and I knew the Dasique eyeshadow palette was the go-to product.  Although they had a ton of color stories to choose from, I ultimately fell in love with two specific palettes which were sold out in so many Olive Youngs.  Finally finding them in a small Olive Young, here we are guys.  I’m just going to ..read more

If you didn’t know already, one of Korea’s hottest trending products right now is toner pads.  Not only can you incorporate it into your skincare routine with a simple wipe down after your cleanser, but Korean girlies and even professional makeup artists have also been using them as spot sheet masks before makeup.  This is quite clever and works well since it takes less time and effort than using a whole sheet mask and these come in bulk packaging.  Skinfood’s carrot carotene calming water pad is one of the bestselling toner pads and even won first place in Glowpick’s consumer r ..read more

It seems like there are two brands these days that I can’t stop seeing while scrolling through the internet.  One of those brands is Unleshia, which has surged in popularity lately.  Many people have been talking about their Unleshia glitterpedia eyeshadow palettes!  So to feed my own curiosity, let’s test out two palettes from the brand.  It seems that Unleshia’s philosophy is to offer vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics, which I’m always down to try if it means we are saving more animals from cruelty!  Let’s get into the review. Full name of product:Unleshia glitterped ..read more

Still on the hunt for the best sleeping lip mask?  Torriden solid in lip essence has been all the rage in Korea.  Heck, even Haley from IG: @Kbeautysleuth raved about it when I was in Korea.  On top of that, it is ranking quite high on Glowpick too, which means I’m going to have to try it for you guys!  If you didn’t know, I already have a holy grail lip sleeping mask which I’ve been using for years called Etude House ginger sugar overnight lip mask (formerly known as Aritaum but the brand is extinct and now moved their iconic product to Etude House).  With all that be ..read more

From Torriden dive in serum to their Torriden solid in ceramide lip essence, the brand has been popping off like crazy in Korea and I thought I would test it out for you guys.  During the time of ordering, Torriden dive in mild sun cream was ranked pretty high on Glowpick (Korea’s consumer rating platform).  The ranking has dropped quite a bit, but the average ranking is quite high 4.42/5 stars!  Let’s get into the review.

Have you been questioning what LED light therapy mask is the best in the market? Look no further! I’ve tried a couple of LED light therapy devices in my lifetime and I have to say, this FAQ 202 LED face mask is one of the best so far.  If you don’t know the brand FAQ, they are somewhat new although they’ve been around for about 2 to 3 years now.  They are the higher-end, more professional sister of Foreo (which you know is a company I love and trust).  This might be one of the most expensive devices in my collection, so let’s see if it is the right device for all your LED light ..read more
