If you’re looking for good Korean makeup products, this collection is perfect for updating your routine.

Korean Skincare for Glowing Glass Skin
As a korean skincare enthusiast I tend to wonder, what korean skincare products can I use to achieve glass skin? This question was finally answered when I was introduced to the Glass Skin Line from Cell Fusion C. The Glass Skin Line from Cell Fusion C is solely designed for the purpose of creating a synergetic effect delivered from products that evens out skin tone, rough skin texture, and accentuates the skin's natural glow. Look, I do understand that there are other korean skincare products that help achieve the glass skin look. So here in this blogpost we will also compare how the Glass Skin Line from Cell Fusion C differ from other popular korean skincare products~ Cell Fusion C Glass Skin Serum To deliver a dewy glass-like glow this brightening serum is infused with Vitamin B8, an inositol rich in moisture that is extracted from rice bran, and HY, a type of hyaluronic acid with low-molecular weight to deeply hydrate and revitalise the skin.💡Ingredients that are low in molecular weight are able to penetrate deeper into the skin compared to those in its original size. Not only does this serum enhance skin's radiance, it also gently exfoliates the skin by evening out skin texture through the use of LHA (Lipohydroxy or Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) 💡LHA is a salicylic acid derivative that helps promote cell turnover via targeted chemical exfoliation of dead skin cells, decongest pores, and refine the skin’s surface. Unlike any other korean serums, this glow serum is also multi-funcational and can be used to prep the skin for makeup application. 💡Can be used as an alternative to using a cream as the last step of a your makeup-prep routine. How does Cell Fusion C Glass Skin Serum compare to Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum and Anua Peach 70% Niacin Serum? From the table above, we can see that the Beauty of Joseon Glow Deep Serum is more suitable for those who are looking to improve pigmentation and unevenness on their skin. With the use of 2% alpha arbutin, it reduces the excessive production of melanin caused by UV rays hence, preventing new pigmentations on the skin while also reducing existing ones. 💡Alpha arbutin is a skin brightening agent that improves the appearance of melasma age spots, freckles, and inflammatory pigmentation! The Anua Peach 70% Niacin Serum, on the other hand, uses niacinamide that also inhibits melanin pigment movement and reduces its deposition in the outer layer of the skin. However niacinamide has extra benefits of minimising enlarged pores, strengthening the skin's moisture barrier, and reducing wrinkles. Cell Fusion C Glass Skin Tone Up Cream Made of 74% moisturising ingredients that melts into the skin, this complexion care cream brings out the skin's natural skin tone, resulting in a more vibrant complexion. Just like a glass bead, your face will thank you for using this tone up cream! With Vitamin B8 and HA Zn as its hero ingredient, your skin will be soothed and repaired, creating a transparent effect to the skin. 💡Vitamin B8 promotes cell turnover; replacing dead skin cells with new ones and hence leaving skin firmer. The use of brightening powerhouses such as vitamin C, niacinamide, and alpha-arbutin will also give you an instant tone-up effect while revitalising the skin from within! How does Cell Fusion C Glass Skin Tone Up Cream compare to COSNORI Pink Tone Up Cream and Biodance Skin Glow Tone Up Booster? As illustrated in the table, the COSNORI pink-tone up cream is suited for those who needs to color correct their skin. Due to its pink hue, it counters dullness and darkness of the skin to cover areas such as eyebags, the upper mouth area, and more. This then helps to prevent a "gray-ish" tone to appear after base makeup usage. Meanwhile, the Biodance Skin Glow Tone Up Booster is a CC cream that contains 4 different types of vitamins to nourish the skin even under makeup. This makes the complexion look radiant and resilient due to varying sizes of tiny tone-up particles that fills the skin's crevices, preventing build up and creasing. Cell Fusion C Glass Skin Collagen Mask I promise you this one will be one of the best Korean Collagen Masks you will ever try! Image a bottle of ampoule poured into a thin hydrogel sheet mask and brings out the glass skin glow from within, that's what you should expect from this collagen sheet mask. Using Vitamin B8 and 3 types of collagen, this mask not only will brighten the skin, it will also leave it plump and firm. 💡Three types of collagen—low-molecular collagen, low-molecular fish collagen, and Atelo collagen—each with different molecular sizes to maximise absorption. Its hydrogel mask sheet will also turn transparent as the active ingredients of this mask gradually seeps into the skin, giving it a boost of hydration and glow~ How does Cell Fusion C Glass Skin Collagen Mask compare to Biodance Bio Collagen-Real Deep Mask and Luvum Slow Aging Phyto Collagen Gel Mask? The ever-so-popular Biodance Bio Collagen-Real Deep Mask is definitely a strong contender on this round of comparisons! Although this mask truly has it all, if you're aiming for a glowy-glass skin effect that also plumps the skin, the Cell Fusion C Glass Skin Collagen Mask would be the best choice for you! The Luvum Slow Aging Phyto Collagen Gel Mask is also a hydrogel mask like the other two. However, it is solely focused on anti-aging care. So if your concern is early signs of aging, or if your main goal is to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, then this should be your top pick. Now that you've considered all the skin-glowing options to be added into your routine, I expect to see you next time with the glowiest glass skin you've ever achieved! For more korean skincare products, we are excited to help you at your closest La Cosmetique store or visit https://lacosmetique.com.au/.

The Ultimate Korean Skincare Routine: Biodance Skincare
Looking for glowing, clearer, and smoother skin? We've made the ultimate korean skincare routine for you with Biodance's skincare line! If you haven't known already, Biodance is currently one of Korea's most popular brand! Focusing on top-grade, safe, and clean ingredients, it offers korean skincare products that rivals those of its predecessors. The viral Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask has even reached over 1 million sales worldwide, that's a rate of one bio dance mask sold every 2 seconds! (We're also obsessed with it!) Now that the Bio dance mask has risen to fame, it's time for the rest of its best-selling korean skincare line to shine~ Let's start shall we? 1. Cleansing You should never skip cleansing your skin daily! Cleansing your face with the right cleanser can effectively remove impurities, dirt, oil, makeup, and sunscreen that builds up on your skin. It also ensures optimal absorption of your skincare products. This helps you (and me) to achieve the glass skin effect we've always wished for! However... be aware that some cleansers can strip your skin barrier. Always opt for a gentle cleanser such as the Biodance Soothing Barrier Cleansing Foam. This cleansing foam is a micro-bubble type, hypoallergenic foam that maintains the pH levels of your skin after cleansing WITHOUT stripping the skin barrier. It instead replenishes moisture to the skin while also soothing it using natural surfactants extracted from coconuts. 💡Petroleum-based synthetic surfactants used by other cleansers in the market are usually irritating to the skin! Planning to bring a proper cleanser around with you while travelling or when going out? But lazy to carry a big tube or bottle of cleanser with you? Don't worry, Biodance even has a travel-friendly cleanser! The Biodance Hydro Ceramide Cleansing Powder are packed into 30 individual sachets. Easy to carry around, travel stress-free! 2. Toning Pair your korean gentle cleanser with a gentle hydrating toner. With a pH level of 5.5, the Biodance First Synergy Toner will restore the skin's natural pH post-cleansing. Its hypoallergenic formula and 96% hydrating ingredients will give a punch of moisture to the skin, even with just a small amount! Want a toner that does more than just daily hydration? We hear you! Introducing you to our new arrival from Biodance, the Biodance Collagen Gel Toner Pads! Unlike other toner pads, this korean toner pad does not irritate the skin and can be used for daily pore care or even as a skin prep before makeup. Just like its popular Biodance collagen mask, this gel toner pad tightens pores and improves rough, sagging skin with 100,000pm collagen water and 243Da collagen💡A type of collagen that is 1.5 billion times smaller than a pore. This allows deep penetration into the skin! 3. Ampoule Treatment Planning on purchasing a korean serum? Try out a korean ampoule instead!💡Serum vs ampoule, what's the difference anyways? Although both products contain active ingredients that targets a specific skin concern, an ampoule is much more concentrated and potent than serums! Luckily for us, Biodance offers 4 types of ampoules suited for different skin concerns: Uneven skin tone or damaged skin? Try using Biodance Skin Glow Vital Ampoule! Concentrated with 80% probiotics, this skin immunity boosting ampoule provides triple care solution for hydration, skin barrier and immunity. Not only will it brighten the skin, it can even improve the appearance of wrinkles! Enlarged Pores or Lacking Firmness? The Biodance Pore Tightening Collagen Ampoule tackles wrinkles and aging by stimulating the production of collagen. What makes this pore care ampoule more special is that it has been clinically proven for 168% increase in intracellular collagen production! It's also free of allergens~ Irritated or dry skin? A true champion of soothing, the Biodance Hydro Cera-nol Ampoule is a calming ampoule for sensitive skin. Concentrated wuth Biodance's patented ingredient (5% Cera-nol), panthenol, and hyaluronic acid, this ampoule will be your hero in offering powerful and deep hydration into the skin. Dull Skin? As a one of a kind 7-in1 whitening solution, the Biodance Intensive Whitening Ampoule is designed to help you have brighter skin (clear like jade!). The secret to its effective brightening powers is the use of clinically-proven brightening ingredients such as 50,000 ppm niacinamide, glutathione, and fermented rice filtrate. 4. Moisturising Now that we've found the right ampoule to treat your skin concern, end your skincare routine with a complexion care cream. The Biodance Pore Tightening Collagen Cream is a korean moisturizer formulated with 70% Meragen Complex that gives instant effect to correcting and tightening enlarged pores. The blend of hyaluronic acid, fibroblast ingredients, and elastin infused within this cream helps to tighten those pores and prevent sagging by generating the skin's elastic fibers. 5. BB Cream Asian makeup is known to lean towards enhancing one's natural beauty. The one secret to achieving a skin-like base is to use a BB cream instead of a foundation. 💡A BB cream is a skincare-makeup hybrid that offers coverage but with added skin care benefits. People tend to ask us, what's the best BB cream in Australia? We believe that the Biodance Skin All-day Cover Balm is most definitely one of the best you can find! Formulated with 0% harmful ingredients (slay!), it contains Air-Pore Complex and Panthenol that allows skin to breathe even when using makeup. It has also been tested to have improved pore volume by 9% and pore area by 10%! What a dream~ Can't ignore the fact that it also uses micro-pigment particles that minimises oxidation and ensures a long-lasting finish. Whether you'll use the full collection or just a few products from this list, we trust that the Biodance Skincare line will be the cherry on top to your skincare routine! Shop the full range or discover more beauty products online Australia at La Cosmetique. We can't wait to see you with glowing, healthy skin!

Best Hydrating Glossy Korean Lip Tint: Dew Glow Tint
With all the craze over Korean lip tints and stains, it's hard to miss the new launch of Banila Co's Dew Glow Tint! This product was produced in collaboration with famous Korean beauty YouTuber Urishop, who is known best for her plump, glassy lips! Being a glossy lip girl myself, finding a lip tint with a non-sticky, long-lasting finish is probably one of the best feelings. Well, the Dew Glow Tint does just that, but even better. It features a Water Holding Technology that sufficiently fills lips with a dewy hydrating moisture that lasts without any discomfort. With mild plumping ingredients that are safe for even beginners to use, it leaves your lips looking luscious, shiny, and irresistibly cute! It also comes with a super helpful, water drop-shaped applicator that emphasises the gloss and leaves you with more voluminous lips. This lightweight tint is available in 8 stunning shades that can perfectly match your own personal colour. To be honest, I wish someone had told me sooner that I needed to find the right shade for my skin tone! I didn't know how important it was until I finally tried a lip shade that instantly brightened up my complexion! Not even kidding, I started getting so many compliments on how nice my lips were and also how radiant my skin looked! So this is your sign to select the best shade for your undertone, because a subtle difference could entirely change your look for the better.
