I love a little glitter in my life, and because of this love, glitter has a habit of just showing up at my doorstep. It’s like I blackout when I see it, and the next thing I know there is a charge on my credit card! This is how the TWINKLEPOP Pearl Flex Glitter Eye Palette ended up in my hands. Keep reading to learn more about the palettes, my and the Koreans’ thoughts, and where you can find one yourself.

K-Points: 9/10
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 affects your wallet. As such, all of my beauty reviews will be out of 10 points. I will not be going over that number.
So, these palettes are perfect if you need that extra little bit of pop in your look. They are cute, they are small, and they fit in any bag. Plus I love how they came in the cute bubble wrap in different colors. It was extra fun. Also, the formula of these glitters is lovely. They are pretty, but not ostentatious. That being said, if travelling, you cannot travel with these palettes alone, as there are no matte shades, so you will need to make sure you bring something else with different textures.
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 5 palettes, I will rank all 5 in order based on the number of reviews and stars. Also, I included the release date of the palettes so that you can account for the number of reviews.
All 5 in Order of Popularity:
- #1 Hey, Rose (17 reviews, 4.53/5 stars – released Fall 2020)
- #4 Hey, Pink (14 reviews, 4.14/5 stars – released Spring 2021)
- #5 Hey, Bora (7 reviews, 4.43/5 stars – released Fall 2021)
- #3 Hey, Coral (6 reviews, 3.33/5 stars – released Spring 2021)
- #2 Hey, Brown(9 reviews, 4.00/5 stars- released Fall 2020)
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. 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!
