So, I have to admit that my Korean Beauty Haul didn’t end at all things lips.  I have another package waiting for me at the post office with a £30 customs charge on it so whatever it is (I really can’t remember) is just going to have to stay there! I’m pleased as anything with A’Pieu Whipping Mousse Blush.

This is totally the right kind of popping coral shade that I like to wear – and it’s silky smooth on the skin as well. There’s plenty of pigment so a little goes a very long way.

This is the Chosungah22 Mascara that I’ve been dying to try for a while now – I love it. I know the ball thing isn’t anything particularly new, but you don’t come across it all that often and it is good at winkling into those inner corner lashes that can be hard to get to.

I was making up words yesterday for black that’s blacker than black – we came up with Blaquer – and this would definitely qualify for that. Super, super dark.

The Hera Make Up Fixing Spray is interesting… I was sent a L’Oreal Paris fixing spray a few days ago and I can’t tell them apart. What’s noticable is the spray liquid is white in both of them, and not really fine enough to go on as a mist exactly. I cannot say that it kept my make up on all that much longer than usual, but it could be that I was a bit disinclined to squirt my face any more and didn’t use enough.

In the main picture are the samples that came with my order. Very generous and a few interesting bits and bobs. Beauty world is totally on the Korean trail right now – you might have noticed that beauty brands are sampling as standard these days. Korean brands have done this for ever, so it’s not just Korean design and innovation we’re emulating, but also their sales techniques.

    I blame you for my Korean beauty product lust! I got some Panda’s Dream cream and the other day received my Secret Key chubby jelly lip tattoo (the peel off lip stain stuff). It lasts a good 14 hours plus can use any gloss/balm over the top and now keep eyeing up handcream in bottles shaped like cows, pink dolphins & penguins, bunny lipglosses, candyfloss scented face powder etc. Do keep showing me these new things though as the cuteness goes on my birthday/xmas list as well as for treats when I have the cash. That blusher is definitely going on my wants list but will put it off til I’ve used up at least one of the 3 I’m currently using!

    While I’m sure these are all lovely products what I’m missing are some interesting visuals or a brand history. I like to keep up with brands like Dior and YSL because there’s a history and they make me think of my glamorous aunt and grandmother. With Korean beauty there’s the novelty aspect but I’m not sure if I feel enough of a ‘connection’ to become a loyal customer.

      Well, the point is that they’re new – mostly there isn’t really a heritage in Kawaii beauty because in itself it’s a subtrend … but there are Korean skincare brands that have some incredible history. Not so much make up though.

      Point! I also am skeptical about the ingredients information – the fact that there are heaps of Kr brands blooming all at once, it’s hard to know how to tell them apart, and who to believe in, let alone what they use (mass production of super affordable products, at least in Kr some brands are dirt cheap that you can’t help but wonder what they use in the formulations). There’s just something that makes me reluctant to believe in their products even though i’ve tried a few and impressed, others not so much (duds).
