Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics (SPF50+ PA++++)
I haven’t tried this one yet, but it’s on my radar. I’ve seen great reviews about how hydrating it is, especially if your skin needs a pick-me-up after a long day. The collagen boost looks like a good option for tired, dull skin. Saving this for my n...

If I need to look human in under five minutes, it’s probably something from this section. Just enough to add color, glow, or life back into my face without trying too hard. These are my fuss-free favourites.
This blush is hyped for a reason. Just one dot gives your face instant color and lift, even if you barely slept. It blends easily with fingers or a sponge and lasts all day. I use the shade Happy, but if you have fair skin, you might prefer something...
This is the only brow pencil I’ve stuck with. The tip is super fine, so it’s easy to fill in gaps without going overboard. The color looks natural, stays put all day, and the built-in spoolie makes touch-ups quick. I use it when I want to look a litt...
