K-Points: 8/10

So, for beauty reviews, unlike my album unboxings, I will be much harsher because this can directly impact your health, whereas buying K-Pop albums does not. It just impacts your wallet. As such, all of my beauty reviews will be out of 10 points. I will not be going over that number.

Honestly, I do really like all of these palettes. They definitely have some unique shades that I do not see in any other palettes that I own. For example, that shade in the center of 02 Rose Petal is a very unique shade. Now, I will say, there is one downside to these palettes: there is a wee bit of fallout. It isn’t enough to completely deter my love for these palettes, but there is a bit of it.

What are the Koreans saying?

I was digging through reviews on 화해 (Hwahae)*, a Korean skincare app that lists out the ingredients of products from many brands for people to look through as well as post reviews. So, instead of going through and talking about what the Koreans thought since there are 13 palettes, I will rank all 13 in order based on the number of reviews and stars.

X in Order of Popularity:
  1. 07 Milk Latte (4.51 out of 5 stars – 72 reviews)
  2. 03 Nude Potion (4.17 out of 5 stars – 93 reviews)
  3. 05 Muhly Sunset (4.51 out of 5 stars – 43 reviews)
  4. 01 Sugar Brownie (4.10 out of 5 stars – 30 reviews)
  5. 10 Autumn Breeze (4.58 out of 5 stars – 12 reviews)
  6. 02 Rose Petal (4.12 out of 5 stars – 16 reviews)

  13. 06 Snow Blossom (4 out of 5 stars – 1 review – Limited Edition – Winter 2020)

Where Can I Buy It?

Whenever I buy K-Beauty, I shop at a couple of different places. If you want to see all of the places that I shop at, you can check them all out here.  I picked these up at a number of different places, including Style Korean and Olive Young. With a number of the places I shop for cosmetics, you can also use Rakuten for cash back off of your purchases on their site.

What is Rakuten?

Rakuten is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Rakuten, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over $80 back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!

If you’ve never used Rakuten before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using Rakuten. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from.  Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Ulta typically has 3%. These are just some of the companies on the website, but there are other major retailers on there as well!

Rakuten also has a Google Chrome extension that will tell you as soon as you log onto a site that has cashback with a little pop-up in the corner so that you can ensure you are saving money!

Which of these palettes do you like the most, K-Nuggets? Let me know in the comments down below!

사랑합니다!
