K-Points: 9/10

So, for beauty reviews, unlike my album unboxings, I will be much harsher because this can directly impact your health, where 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.

I’m not going to lie, every time I do my makeup, shade #01 – Sugar Bling gets pulled out every time. I am so fair skinned that this is the perfect under brow highlight and inner corner highlight. Also, I’ve discovered that the other shades are all really great for other parts of the eyes. For example, I have used #02 – Peach Coronet and #03 – Pink Charm under my lower lash line. Also, I have used #04 – Rose Cape and #05 Taupe Trinket on my lid. All of the shades are gorgeous and blend incredibly well. The only reason that I am deducting a point is that if you do not use an eye base, they can smudge a little bit, and get stuck in the crease.

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. After searching for some time, none of these products were in the app. As such, you will have to just trust my opinion.

Where Can I Buy It?

Whenever I buy K-Beauty, I do 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. I picked these up from Olive Young. If you use this link to register, you can get 10% off of your second purchase on the site. Plus, with a number of the places I shop for cosmetics at, 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!
