Wish Formula: The Fermented Hydra Ceramide Lotion & Essential Toner Review
I’ve got a few Korean beauty brands that are my go-to for various reasons and Wish Formula is one of them. While I reach for Troiareuke when I want to clean my face, I reach for Wish Formula when I want to nourish and hydrate my skin. Almost everything I’ve tried from Wish Formula has been great but these two products have by far been the best for my dry skin. I’d never heard of fermented skincare products prior to using these but after, I definitely looked into them more. The Wish Formula Fermented Hydra Ceramide Lotion and the Fermented Hydra Essential Toner are currently my essential skincare products producing…

Sulwhasoo (설화수) is a Korean luxury skin care brand that is renowned for high quality herbal medicine based products and the Sulwhasoo Flagship Store Dosan (설화수 도산 플래그십 스토어) is an absolute must visit for not only KBeauty lovers but any tourist in Seoul interested in unique experiences that you can only have here.

Troiareuke: A Review Of The Prescription Skincare Brand
Troiareuke takes its name from the ancient Greek word “foundation” or “beginning”. Their company offers holistic options like chroma therapy, aromatherapy, and herb therapy for skin concerns such as aging, blemishes, dryness and sensitivity. This is a cruelty-free Korean beauty brand that manufactures all of its products in Korea. The brand actually started as and still is a spa brand that caters to clients with acne and skin problems.

Jumiso: Toner, Serum & Cream Review
About a year ago I was introduced to the brand Jumiso through the KBeauty Collective here in Seoul. The collective seeks to promote awesome clean Korean beauty companies and their products. Jumiso (주미소) is a Korean beauty brand that wants to “give smiles to their customers”. Their name literally means that with the words 주 (ju), to give; and 미소 (miso), smile. Jumiso is a subsidiary of the KBeauty brand Helloskin and the products feature some adorable design and packaging. All of the Jumiso products are manufactured in Korea and their top priority is listening to their customers. All of their products are cruelty-free and vegan friendly too. Want to learn…

Where To Get Skin Treatments In Seoul: Lasers, PRP, and Serums Oh My!
In this post, I’ll talk about the skin treatments I received in Seoul, how each visit to the dermatology clinic went and at the end there is a breakdown of costs. So, sit back, relax and lets delve into my experience getting a beauty treatment in Korea. I was invited by Seoul Cosmetic Surgery and Banobagi to receive a consultation to talk about some of the dark spots I had noticed more over the past couple of years. I’m pale so freckles are nothing new to me, but some of these spots seemed to have come while I was pregnant or just after giving birth and they just got darker.…

8 Up & Coming K-Beauty Influencers To Follow
After attending the first Seoul Blogger Brunch some months back, I not only walked away with a huge bag of K-Beauty products from companies like COSRX, Eunogo, Tiam and more, but I had also had the opportunity to meet up with some K-Beauty movers and shakers. Since I walked into the event knowing very little about what I was stepping into and didn’t know what half of the products in my bag even do (still learning what an ampoule is good for), these ladies have been an invaluable resource for all of my many questions. I consider myself a general consumer. A general consumer that didn’t know there was a…
