Pinrose Candles
You know Pinrose as the playful perfume brand that makes EDPs way more approachable. Though it's not totally bonkers to move from personal fragrance to home fragrance, it's not a move anyone was expecting. Still, we're delighted that some of our favorite Pinrose scents — including Secret Genius, Merry Maker, and Sun Saint — can now fill an entire room.

BTS Edition Bio Capsulin Love Me Mask Set
If you know anything about K-pop, then chances are, you're very acquainted with boy band, BTS.

According to PopSugar, the collection "was initially launched in Korea, but sold out within three hours." It's currently available on Amazon.
