Quick review, swatches of five new K-Beauty finds I've discovered recently.
The Anua Rice Enzyme Brightening Cleansing Powder ($18; ulta.com) has been my go to enzymatic cleanser. It is a great skin cleanser and exfoliant and I like to use it 2-3 times a week on clean skin, especially after makeup cleansing. I love the foamy texture, ease of use and how beautiful it leaves my skin feeling. Its a really nice enzyme powder for the price and something I'd repurchase.
The Juicy Glass Instant Hydrating & Plumping Lip Gloss ($18; shop.nordstrom.com) is a sheer, hydrating gloss from Kaja Beauty. The texture is slightly thicker, but very emollient and super glossy. It does have a slightly strong fruity scent. The colors are great to layer and also nice as a sheer wash of color and gloss. I found them to be a tad long wearing for a gloss because of the texture and the colors and packaging are both are super fun.
The April Skin Artemisia Squalene Hydra Gel Cream ($19.99; amazon.com) is a super lightweight gel cream, perfect for this time of the year. The formula is great to layer under makeup and also by itself. It does feel a tad sticky initially, but absorbs quite nicely onto the skin. It is a nice texture for the humid days ahead and works for most skin types.
The Mood Glider Lip and Blush Stick ($20; ulta.com) is a lip/cheek product from TirTir that comes in six fun shades. The formula is smooth, creamy and also easy to blend with fingers or a brush. I do like these on the cheeks more than my lips and think the color range is great for most skin tones, including olives like me.
Olivia Umma's Milky Resurfacing + Brightening Toner pads ($48; sephora.com) are great as a pre makeup step or as part of a nightly skincare routine. They come with a small tweezer and the pads are enriched with Backuchoil and Rice to refine and even out the skin. Its a quick and effortless step to add into your skincare routine.
