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.
Longtime drugstore favorite, Revlon, has been a beauty staple since the 1930's. Their colorful array of cosmetics and nail polishes as well as their ability to stay on-trend has kept them in the biz for decades. Their new Youth FX line is evidence of that. Try the Fill + Blur Foundation and watch it blur out everything from hyperpigmentation to fine lines. The result is an even, diffused complexion -- pretty as an Instagram filter.
