The list below is my personal experience with Korean brand makeup and beauty products. I've been converted for about 3 years when I picked some up overseas while in Asia and hooked ever since!
Please share your experiences and brands - I've only touched on a few! Some general notes I'll start with:
Skincare – oil cleansers, solid oil balms, essences, ampoules, serums, confused? Read this helpful board on Reddit, it explains all the steps for Asian skincare and also some ingredients to look out for https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/comments/2jcss2/asian_skincare_101_a_beginners_guide_faq/
Looking for trusted online sellers? check out this list on Reddit of trusted sellers people are purchasing through. https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/comments/290to0/giant_list_of_websites_ebayers_etc/
also thanks to Preciousia this site also analyzes products and gives you a breakdown of ingredients: http://www.cosdna.com/
Asian Beauty Reddit is another board I stalk on a regular basis, it's pretty helpful https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty/
edit to add I just tidied up the first post as I was getting tired scrolling past that long one lol

Regular buyer for a long time.
Im stuck buying this product literally. I used it when my children were babies and now there a bit older and understand they no bath, cream, then bed. No cream = no bed for 3 very angry toddlers.
Smooth cream that doesn’t feel too heavy
This moisturiser has a lovely smooth texture and glides onto my skin beautifully. I found it left my skin feeling soft and supple and it also wears well under makeup.
Goodness in a Jar
After more than a week of using Pro X by Olay Anti Aging Wrinkle Smoothing Cream I can really say that the I ❤️ the product;

I'm not sure where the year has gone but I am back with some sheet mask madness. Showcasing some newbies on the market (and some not so new but I was late to the party).
For starters, these are the I'm Sorry For My Skin Real range.
haha....name of these, so right!
Latest pH 5.5 jelly mask range.
Weekend face masking party...they look so much fun! Reminds me to buy some masks, have now zero sheet masks for a while...was on a mission to use up skincare like mad
I was sheet masking twice a day - once during the day and at night (and also eye masks) - but lost traction pretty quickly. Never ran out of masks though (hur hur). Please rectify that ASAP - horrified on your behalf lol
As you probably know/recall, I am based in "metropolitan" Melbourne and stage 4 lockdown is pretty hard to endure. I also don't actually have all that time on my hands as other people do. My job got even more hectic - most of my clients are overseas and they expect business as usual from me. Feels surreal working like a busy beaver in mandatory detention while the world is falling apart at the seams with people dying and so much racial tension in the world.
I've been away from BH for this reason (also site is SUPER slow to load) but have made so many hauls of stuff over the last couple of months - retail therapy keeps me mentally/emotionally upbeat. Thought I'd come back like a wrecking ball for a bit!
Hang in there Ethelinde, all this shall pass. Glad to hear you are still busy. And all this pampering is great for those down times.
Thanks Yoh. All good here. I'm a fairly upbeat person and keep myself entertained.
Sorry about the lockdown and stress, Ethelinde, it's been dragging on for quite a while for those in Melbourne. I hope you're feeling ok. Please take care of yourself and I hope you get time to just unwind from your job.
Thanks for sharing those sheet mask photos. I noticed this brand (who wouldn't with that brand name) when shopping for some K-beauty too. Made me laugh :)
Thanks jupiter. Planning some leave soon so that's something to look forward to, even if it's a staycation!
That sucks! Home is supposed to be your haven from work. So, when you work from home how do you escape from work?! Hopefully your restrictions will be eased soon.
Exactly, I have been working from home for nearly six months and I live in Qld. It's hard to differentiate between the two when you work from home. Will thankfully be going back to the office on 7 October. Grateful to have a job the way things are at the moment and feel for those who have lost theirs due to COVID 19.
On weekdays and nights, it's a bit of blur since we entered lockdown and I have been in lockdown for over 6 months... well, most of this year actually since March. Find myself working till midnight a lot but also at the same time listening to music or playing something on Netflix in the background like The Chef Show. On the weekends, I shut my phone off and read.
Before stage 4, I did go to the office on Fridays which broke up the week nicely but ever since my office shut, I have trouble telling what day it is sometimes, even Fridays!
These are not new: I'm Sorry For My Skin Clay Sheet Masks.

Tempting... I have most of these already but they're all really great products.
And... I ended up buying it plus two toners (they are SO GOOD).
oooh I am so envious! They are great products :)
Edit: That's very fast shipping as well!
I have orders from Korea and Hong Kong that have been held up for months. I still don't have them all, but this arrived in only a few days after I put the order through. It's astounding.
Wow that is awesome service! So tempted :P
