A few weeks ago I wrote an article about the best stores where you can buy k-beauty products during your trip to Korea, but today I would like to go into detail and recommend 6 products that I personally love and that I think might interest you.
So if you’re not sure what to buy, keep reading the article
1. Clio pro eye palette N.14 Atelier in Hannam
Let’s start with a product for the eyes; I personally love glitter, pink and all its shades, and I bet there are many people like me, so I think that the Clio pro eye palette N.14 is perfect for you.
The colors are pigmented and give you that beautiful natural effect but which manages to give character to the eye. The glitters – which is a must in Korean makeup – is easily applied both with the brush and with the fingers.
In my opinion, this palette fully represents everything related to the classic make-up that we see K-celebrities wearing all the time, i.e. neutral and natural colors but with a touch of brightness and glow effect.
I found this palette at Olive Young but it was new and therefore they no longer sell it in stores but you can purchase it on the CLIO website.

2. Peripera Ink Velvet
This lipstick is literally one of my absolute favorites, Peripera never ceases to amaze me honestly.
The velvety formula of the lipstick leaves the lips soft and hydrated, it is absolutely not heavy and lasts all day. You can also use it to make the famous gradient lips: more intense in the center of the lips and then blended out, or simply applied normally on all the lips.
I personally prefer red tones, but Peripera offers a wide range of colours, from nude to brighter colours.
You can find this brand and this specific lipstick in all the most famous make up shops in Korea (Olive Young) or you can buy it online. I highly recommend to try it, you won’t regret it.
You can buy it on Yesstyle website: Peripera Ink Velvet
3. JMsolution Water Luminous mask
We all know that Korea is famous for its face masks. During my stay in Korea I tried many and many different brands, and this has become one of my favorites.
The JMsolution water luminous mask leaves your skin super hydrated and moisturized, after removing it you will immediately feel better and much more glowy.
I also recommend it because there is a lot of product in the package that you can also use on your neck and the rest the body to give more hydration to the skin and not waste anything.
You can find these masks in all the shops that sell face masks in the so-called ”shopping streets” such as in Myeong-dong.
But if you are not in Korea you can buy them online.

4. Ma:nyo Pure&Deep cleansing foam
Cleaning your face every day is a very important thing, and using the right products by choosing them carefully is essential, so I would like to recommend this cleansing foam by Ma:nyo because it cleans the skin thoroughly but delicately, leaving the skin beautifully hydrated and soft after washing.
I find it perfect for those who, like me, have sensitive skin.
Furthermore, the product lasts a long time as only a small amount of product is enough to clean your entire face.
You can find it at Olive Young when you are in Korea or buy it online.

5. Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen
Let’s talk about sunscreens; one of the most important things in our entire skincare/make up routine, to protect the skin from damage caused by the sun.
I know that finding the perfect sunscreen for us is often difficult, I also tried many before finding the right one, and I finally found it! Beauty of Joseon’s sunscreen is one of the best on the market in my opinion. This sunscreen is very light on the face, hydrates the skin and is SPF50+ PA++++, therefore it protects our skin as much as possible.
It is also composed of vitamin B, C, E and rice extracts (30%).
But the most important thing is that it doesn’t leave that terrible white halo that many sunscreens unfortunately leave on the face, making you look like a ghost. With this cream and its light formula you won’t have this problem.
You can find the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen, obviously at Olive Young and on the Beauty of Joseon website.

6. Stay Nudie ”Over Floral” Hair and Body mist
As a last product I would like to recommend a hair and body mist that I fell in love with during one of my usual visits to Olive Young.
This fragrance is called Over Floral and is incredible; First of all it lasts all day and then if you like floral scents this perfume is for you.
The packaging is super cute in pink/peach tones.
This fragrance is composed of coconut, jasmine, Lily of the valley and vanilla. In short, you will taste fresh and clean.
As mentioned before you will find it at Olive Young but if you are not in Korea you can buy it on yesstyle.
