This spray wakes me up. The smell is so refreshing and it is a great product for travel. Before makeup, after makeup and throughout the day for a boost. Helps give you the glass skin glow that K-Beauty is known for.

This not only helps with those pesky blemishes but also helps with pigmentation. It really helps to improve your complexion. Absorbs well and makes your skin soft.

These are excellent for travel. Helps keep your skin hydrated and prevents the dryness you can get with changing climates. And they smell great!

I love this eye serum. Beauty of Joseon is hugely popular and for good reason. The brand is inspired by traditional herbal medicine such as ginseng, rice, green tea and mug wort.

These under-eye patches are also great for travel. The cooling sensation really helps with the puffiness that you can get with lack of sleep. And they do not irritate my eyes like other brands have.

I will always have this in my skincare routine. It does have a prickly feeling when applying but it doesn't last long. It does not irritate my skin at all and I love the way my skin feels the next morning.

This is a rice sunscreen with a creamy texture that isn't greasy and absorbs well. SPF50. Doesn't leave a white cast and is lightweight.

If you are a fan of peel off mask, then you must give this brand a try. Apply before bed (and yes, it stays on) and peel off the next morning. Very satisfying.

This is very popular in Korea and it was one of the first products I was told to buy. Prevents your skin from getting dry and dull and give you a natural glow. In fact, I purchased two bottles because I knew I was going to love it.
