Twenty six dollars sounds like a lot to drop on drugstore eyeshadow. But if you are looking for a natural beauty brand that really delivers on professional quality, Mineral Fusion is that brand. Their line of makeup, skin and haircare products are free of gluten, parabens, phthalates, artificial colors, synthetic fragrances and SLS -- many of which are 100% vegetarian or vegan (and cruelty-free). A standout product, the Eye Shadow Trio is extremely pigmented and comes in a variety of beautiful matte and shimmer shades that blend effortlessly and allow you to create looks for day or night.
Let's just get all of our squees out of the way first. If you couldn't guess, Holika Holika is another K-beauty brand known for their adorable packaging. Their Gudetama line, featuring Sanrio's darling lazy egg character, is full of effective and affordable products.
The Smooth Egg Peeling Gel is a fun and fast way to gently exfoliate your face. Apply the gel and work the egg-shaped product in circular motions with your fingertips -- the rest feels a bit like a science experiment as the product and dead skin cells ball up into tiny clumps that you rinse away with warm water. Kinda gross, but worth it when you witness your newly smooth, baby soft skin.

Ever thought you would put snail slime on your face? Try these hydrogel eye patches from Elisha Coy -- popular in Korea (and everywhere else) for containing Snail Mucin, a regenerative substance that heals soft, snail bodies quickly from injury. It will do the same for your face by encouraging cell turnover to fade scars and hyperpigmentation. The patches also contain ginseng and green tea extracts to plump and tighten the fine lines around your eyes.
This charming Korean brand is eco-friendly, sources its ingredients from all over the world and is oh-so-cute. Their Wrapping Lip Tint is such a fun product -- essentially a temporary tattoo for the lips. Apply generously and let sit for five to ten minutes, then peel off and admire your gorgeously stained pout. The tint lasts all day, is totally waterproof and you can layer gloss or your favorite moisturizing balm over the top for added smoothness.
This line of concealers and color correctors has made its way into countless YouTube tutorials. Loved by influencers like Desi Perkins, Kathleen Lights and Jackie Aina (to name a few.) This inexpensive concealer really hits the mark when it comes to concealing, contouring and color correcting. Twenty-one shades to be exact, ranging from the lightest to the darkest shades available. Touted for its excellent coverage, ability to blend and costing under five dollars.
