The absolute best blurring loose powder I've ever used. It smooths out everything under my eyes and on my cheeks. I'm on my third one!

Breathable BB cream that acts as a sunscreen and foundation. Doesn't oxidize and works well with powders.

Legitimately one of the only mascaras on the market (both Western and Asian) that doesn't give me panda eyes. I have a very exaggerated lower lash line that gets smudged all the time, and this works wonders

I really like the “Ash Black” color (gray stick) for a more subtle liner brow fill. Easy to work with and can double as an eyeliner if you want to have matching colors

People don't talk about this enough! Great for acne prone skin, decent scent, and non-irritable! Reapply throughout the day to ensure maximum coverage but otherwise great for face and body. Use code: SHAEPOP1024 for a discount on OliveYoung!

I always bring this with me when I travel in case my skin gets irritated by the change of environment (my skin dislikes different waters!). Code SHAEPOP1024 for a discount at Olive Young

A great soothing cream for irritated or sunburnt skin. Saved my poor face when I got roasted like a lobster in the Caribbean! Use code SHAEPOP1024 for a discount at Olive Young

A really luxurious feeling serum that gave me a really natural glow. Loved this best out of all the Beauty of Joseon serums and is far more impressive than their sunscreen. Use code SHAEPOP1024 for a discount at Olive Young
Glow Serum : Propolis + Niacinamide - Beauty of Joseon

Great for dry skin because it is a bit oiler and slippier than the Clean It Zero (which is also a decent balm). Great emulsion. Use code SHAEPOP1024 for a discount on Olive Young!

This toner has anti-fungal properties which is great for people who have sweat related acne (guilty)!
