4 Korean Beauty Products you need to try!

Ever since I first got into Korean beauty and skincare a few years ago, I've never looked back. Korean cosmetics have way higher quality formulas compared to western brands and have become a globally viral sensation in the past few years for all the right reasons. These are my personal favourite products I keep with me anywhere I go! 

NEOGEN Day-Light Protection Airy Sunscreen SPF50

This is hands down THE best spf I've used in my life, and i don't plan on changing anytime soon. An incredibly underrated sunscreen I recommend to all of my friends and family, regardless of their lifestyle or skin condition. I have incredibly sensitive skin and an oily t-zone, and this is my holy grail. Not only does this protect my skin from UV damage, it additionally provides deep hydration with its lightweight and thin texture. It’s everything you’d want in sunscreen, even smoothing the skin texture. No white cast, no irritation, no greasiness - it's for anyone to use everyday. 

I even use this as a primer to prep my skin before makeup, and my foundation sits perfectly with this product all day. 

Due to the importance of reapplying sunscreen every 2-3 hours, this is perfect for makeup lovers too! I wear makeup daily, and this spf makes an effortless reapplication even over full glam looks. The silky texture of this cream gives you the healthy summer skin glow that everyone is dying to get.

CLIO Kill Cover Glow Fitting Cushion SPF50+ PA++++

After years of searching for the perfect foundation, brand after brand, this foundation was love at first sight. Providing the “glazed donut skin” look with minimal effort. After hours of wear, this foundation stays put on this skin, without piling or caking up. The lightweight formula feels comfortable on the skin all day. This foundation is the perfect pair with the Neogen sunscreen, both giving that perfect airy finish on the skin.

I can’t talk about this foundation without mentioning the convenience and efficiency of this cushion foundation’s size and shape. Easy to be stored in any makeup bag, daily bag or even a mini clutch on a night out. 

Application takes zero effort, and is perfect for makeup beginners too - with a cushion applicator to press into the foundation sponge. No need to pour heavy amounts of liquid on the back of your hand, it's a mess-free process to achieve flawless base makeup. This is perfect for those with busy lifestyles who are always on the go. I store this foundation in my mini daily bag, and it’s super efficient to apply while on public transport, and it includes a mini mirror to assure you get the perfect and even application every time. This is the perfect foundation for those looking for a lightweight, full coverage foundation which provides a glossy, radiant glow.

CLIO Kill Lash Superproof Mascara: Long Curling

My ride or die mascara that has never failed me. This product brings out the true length of my lashes, unlike any other I've used. Clios’ competitors don't even come close to the quality of this mascara. I prep my lashes with a lash curler before applying, and Kill Lash holds the curl all day long. Incredibly durable formula, and doesn't melt when you cry, apply water or even rub the eye area, and never clumps or dissolves. 

People actually ask me if I'm wearing false lashes when I wear Kill Lash - it's just that good!

PERIPERA Ink Velvet Lip Tints

A product that I've loved for years now, Peripera’s lip tints are all created with hydrating and smooth formulas to ensure a seamless application and wear. With a wide variety of pigmented shades, beige nudes, deep mutes, romantic reds and vibrant corals, this range satisfies everyone! The ink tints are multi-purpose, able to be used on lips, as a cream blush, cream eyeshadow… anywhere you wish! The creamy formula is incredibly easy to blend and blur edges with its feathery texture. This is the ultimate product for a pop of colour for the face. Small and convenient packaging to be stored anywhere, and the perfect applicator tip.
