A Can't-Live-Without-It Eyebrow Pen
The Product: Suqqu Eyebrow Liquid Pen
The Reason: "I literally have this shipped from Japan because it is so amazing," says Bass. "It's a little felt tipped pen that fills in gaps in the eyebrows and looks completely natural."
She especially recommends it for people with sparse brows, or for people who want to totally reshape and thicken their brows. "The fine brush allows you to paint tiny strokes that mimic eyebrow hairs."

A Do-It-All Skin Cream
The Product: NoTS 28 Remedy Cream
The Reason: According to Jones, this cream is going to be featured in an upcoming Korean reality show because of its effectiveness -- and massive following. "The brand was founded by a former cosmetics industry marketer who got frustrated when existing products couldn't heal her own son's skin," Jones says.
The cream is meant for skin of all ages, and combines "intense ingredients from the oils and essences of fruits, herbs, flowers, vegetables and other natural sources" with scientific technology.

An Aloe-Infused Sheet Mask
The Product: Whamisa Organic Seeds & Rice Fermented Hydro-Gel Mask
The Reason: "Sheet masks are a beauty staple for women in Korea and just starting to fly off the shelves of Sephora and Target in the US," say Christine Chang and Sarah Lee, founders of GlowRecipe.com, a site that gives consumers all over the globe access to a curated collection of natural Korean beauty products. But what makes this mask different than the ones you can buy stateside is that they're made with a hydro-gel sheet, not a paper or cotton sheet that's hard to keep on, and it's packed with good-for-skin ingredients like Aloe and "drenched in a full bottle of fermented rice extract serum."

A Textured Blush That Delivers Amazing Results
The Product: Sonia Rykiel Glowing Gel Blusher
The Reason: "I love the sponge texture of this gel blush," raves celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh (she's worked with the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Chastain and Rosario Dawson). She says it gives skin an incredibly natural flush, because it "melts into skin" and leaves it with a "subtle, dewy glow."

The Nail Polish That's All the Rage in France
The Product: Kure Bazaar Nail Polish
The Reason: This is "the chicest polish brand in France," says Marie-Laure Fournier, founder of Fournier PR + Consulting. It's all natural, trendy and innovative -- she says that it truly changed the health of her nails, and that they no longer break.
Though the company is relatively young, they already have a salon in one of the nicest areas of Paris. If you get the chance to try this product, "You will die, you will die, you will die." It's that good.
