As a Japanese girly that studied abroad in Korea, I know a thing or two about skincare and makeup. Here are my recommendations for hair, skin, makeup - my routine leans Asian products and you can see that reflected here! 💖

Makeup
Been through three full compacts (side note there are refill cartridges so you can be eco friendly too!) AND bought the mini for my bag, that’s how good it is. SERIOUSLY blurs pores and makes me look airbrushed in real life. People stop and ask me fo...
Marshmallow Finish Powder
I’ve worn a wing every day since high school lol. This is the only eyeliner that glides on smooth, stays all day, and doesn’t smudge into a sad raccoon tail. You can also get this to be a fine point because it’s a skinny cartridge. Tons of colors if ...
CANMAKE Creamy Touch Liner
I only use mascara from this brand. Both the regular OG mascara and the skinny tube that is wash off with hot water only are incredible at pumping up my very thin lashes. I also use their primer before and it’s the best push-up bra combination of a m...
Heroine Make
Asked my sis in law for a pink palette and she got me this - it’s been years and I’m still using it for shadow, contour, and blush! Every shade is wearable, blendable, and somehow makes me look put together even if I slap it on half-asleep.
Hydrating, blends like a dream, and somehow the perfect color match (I use shade vanilla). I’ve tried high-end (Kosas - that was a disaster) and still came back to this. Doesn’t cake, doesn’t crease, just reliable and flattering.
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
Easy to throw in your bag and go! If the sleeping mask works for you this is the lighter formula version. I usually have this plus something with color. The combination of both will cover all lip scenarios.
Lip Glowy Balm Moisturize & Nourish
This OG is supposed to be for night time but tbh I use it in the day before I do my makeup and by the time I’m ready to apply something to my lips I’ve got pillowy, lush, soft lips. High key recommend - it’s an OG for a reason!
Lip Sleeping Mask Nourish & Hydrate
Got this in a birthday freebie from Sephora and have been using it everyday. Perfect way to keep your lips hydrated and soft as we transition to cooler and dryer months!
Lip Butter Balm, Pink Sugar
Tools
Stick straight lash girlies unite. This is the only one that understands the assignment. If you’ve got lashes that grow straight down like they want to shield you from the world, this is for you.
Eyelash Curler
The eyelash applicator that looks like surgical equipment but in a sexy way. It hugs your lash line like it’s been made with it in mind. Grips the lashes gently but firmly, like a supportive friend who’s also a little bossy. Yes, it’s overpriced. Yes...
Fuse™ Control Wand Horizontal Clamp Force™ DIY Lash Extension Tool
Hair
This heats up fast, smooths everything out, and makes my hair look polished without actually trying. It’s the lazy girl’s blowout but somehow looks like I paid for a blowout. Such a winner from the TikTok shop!
Wavytalk
My hair is so shiny. Silky. I’m obsessed.
The nanoe tech isn’t just a buzzword, it’s real science. It pulls moisture from the air and breaks it into super fine ions that penetrate your hair shaft. So instead of blasting your hair dry and frying it, ...
nanoe™ Hair Dryer with Oscillating Quick-Dry Nozzle
This is secretly a deep-conditioning assassin. It makes my bleached, tired ends feel soft without that heavy, coated feeling. Lathers up like a salon shampoo, smells clean without being try-hard, and costs less than your lunch salad. A Japanese drugs...
Shiseido Fitit Fino Premium Touch Shampoo
Looks chic in your shower and actually earns its spot. This one moisturizes, for real. No fake slip, no waxy buildup pretending to be hydration. It leaves my hair soft, swishy, and detangled without flattening it into a pancake. Plus the scent is sal...
