New Kbeauty reviews on STYLE STORY

"I've used many face masks, however the 23 Years Old Aqua Bab Modeling Mask is by far the best I've used. I received a box which contains 4 uses. Its quite easy to make and use, the instructions are very easy to follow. Basically mixing sachet 1 then 2 and using the little mixing/application stick. The texture is quite thick, I was surprised at how well it held onto my face and stayed there as I did apply a thick layer all over my face.

The mask has a nice cool effect and when it dries it didn't feel stiff or dry on my skin. It felt quite nourishing and soft - a little like a jelly feel. To remove the mask I started from the bottom and rolled it upwards. It was super easy and clean to come off. I then gently patted the excess into my skin.

The results were amazing! My skin was super hydrated and I felt like my pores and fine lines were less visible. I had an instant glow to my skin. I applied the mask in the AM so I could enjoy the benefits of the mask throughout the day. My makeup applied so beautifully, I had a really nice flawless look without the effort. I am so happy with the 23 Years Old Aqua Bab Modeling Mask. definitely a holy grail product for me! I highly recommend!"

 

  • Jelly Ko Dewy Glaze Toner - 5 Stars
    • So glowy
    • Never had such glowy skin since using this toner. Love adding into my routine.

 

  • iUNIK Centella Bubble Cleanser
    • Best cleanser
    • I have been buying this quite often as the foam is very subtle to my face and love the feeling of my skin refresh after shower.

 

  • Real Review for the Korean Beauty Show Podcast
    • Fun and Informative by Nicky
      • "I absolutely love this podcast and have listened to every episode. Host Lauren Lee is amazing and when she says she is a K-beauty expert, she absolutely means it. Whether you are interested in some of the nitty-gritty details on how ingredients work or want to learn about the latest trends in Seoul, this podcast has it covered. It’s also fun to learn about her journey creating the brand JellyKo. But my favorite thing about this podcast is how intelligent, honest and ethical Lauren is when presenting information. I can really count on it to be factual and trust it to guide what I put on my face, which is a big deal!"

  Latest Kbeauty Reviews on STYLE STORY 

  • 5 star review Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask  
    • Beaut-i-ful
    • "Putting it on feels like a spa treatment, and my skin is so soft and smooth the next day! Like if I happen to touch my face during the day the next day, I stop in my tracks for a second and just think “wow” - so soft, so smooth!"
  • 5 Star Review for Charmzone Retinol Emulsion
    • Beautiful product
    • "I've been using this product for a short time and absolutely love it! If not only feels beautiful on my skin but hydrates it beautifully. Oh, and the scent is amaaaaazzzing. I can use this product after toner and then apply sunscreen and people often comment about how good my skin looks. Will definitely continue to use this product. Highly recommended :)"
  • Review for Subi Perfect Pimple Patch 
    • The longer you wear them, the better the results
    • "What impressed me most about this product is that it smoothed / evened out the skin like nothing I’ve ever seen before! I found that the longer I was able to keep the patches on, the better results I got. The best result came after I accidentally left a patch on for a whole day and night. I move around a lot when I sleep and I found that sometimes I would put a patch on before bed and wake up to find it gone. Would love if they had a few more patches in the packet as I lost a few of them this way! Will definitely be repurchasing though as the post-inflammatory pigmentation/acne scars that these patches save you from is priceless." 

 

Latest Kbeauty Releases on STYLE STORY - I Dew Care 

I DEW CARE creates fun skin care that is as colorful as it is effective. The Korean brand makes products for oily and blemish-prone skin, dry and depleted skin and dull skin. 

Popular I DEW CARE products include the Juicy Kitten Purifying Power-Green Serum and the Bright Side Up Brightening Vitamin C Serum, all of which are vegan friendly, cruelty-free and 100% made in Korea.

 

Question of the Week ​​- DIY Sheet Masks

"Can you give details about the best toners or serums to use and the type of cotton pads (I assume the Aus style are great for this)?

I have Pyunkang Yul 1/3 Pads and the APLB Noni serum, which I bought for this purpose (to justify buying a serum I didn’t really need). I also convinced myself it would be more economical and environmentally friendly not having individual wrapped masks (not sure if that is actually the case though). Would be keen to hear your thoughts on the best way to DIY."

New K-Beauty Product Reviews

Jelly Ko Bubble Tea Steam Cream 

"Great product

This feels amazing, soft & so moisturised on the skin. Love it 😍

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask"

 Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

"Just what my lips needed 

I love this lip sleeping mask! My lips get dry and cracked easily and I'll put this on at night and wake up with nice soft lips in the morning. The scent is pleasant but it doesn't leave a taste, which is nice. I will definitely buy again when this one is gone." 

APLB Pink Sheet Mask

"Best sheet mask  

This sheet mask is really so good!

Whenever I use a sheet mask in our region (western style) my skin gets pimples and irritation. When you put on this mask it unifies with your skin. 

After using it your skin feels so hydrated and all the red spots disappear. Even the day after."

Best BB cream ever!!! - Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream

"My first order of K-beauty products is likely one of the best things I've done for my skin.  I wanted this BB cream in No.23 and it was out of stock, so in my eagerness I ordered No.27 just to try it.  I'm in my low 60s and was looking for something with good coverage and not settle in creases.  It was a little too dark for me so I diluted a tiny amount with my sunscreen and it's AMAZING!  You only need a very small amount and the coverage stays neat all day without feeling weighed down.  Thank you StyleStory :)"

Episode Summary 

If you use beauty products, it’s impossible not to have heard of clean beauty. These days you’ll see Korean beauty companies claiming that their products are “Free from Nasties”,  use “Green Level Ingredients Only”, are “EWG Green Grade Approved”, “Toxin Free” and “Sustainability Friendly”. 

When the average consumer sees this they think, “Great! I want my products to be clean. Well, I certainly don’t want dirty products!”

It’s only natural that you want your products to be good for your health and good for the environment. 

But what if all of this was based on a lie?

On today’s episode, we’re covering: 

  • What is Clean Beauty?
  • What’s the legal definition of clean beauty?
  • What are the blacklisted ingredients?
  • What’s the problem with clean beauty?
  • Why are natural products not necessarily safer than those containing synthetic chemicals?
  • Why can’t you make a blanket rule about whether a particular cosmetic ingredient is good or bad?
  • Are clean beauty products worth paying more for?

  • “I really didn’t know where to start in terms of using a kbeauty process so I emailed staff. Received a really helpful comment back recommending this pack as a starting point to get a feel for different products. Best advice ever.  Really enjoyed trying and using these products and have now moved on to purchasing some of the products to use on a regular basis. Thanks so much Style Story.”
  • Review for Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask 
  •  “Can I just say wow?! This mask has blown all other gels out of the water. A heavyweight gel that packs a punch. I don’t know if I can look at other gels the same. I may have found the one for life for me! This rich texture of this one makes it great for all skin types. My only con is the floral scent. It is not very potent and does not stay for long, but I’m not the hugest fan of them.”

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: What are Cleansing Sticks?

 

New Kbeauty Products on STYLE STORY:

  • Hanyul Yuja Face Oil (30ml) is ideal for those with dull, fatigued, tired looking skin. Hanyul's Yuja Face Oil contains 82% Yuja extract, providing skin with a rich antioxidant boost. 5% Niacinamide acts as a brightening powerhouse to help reduce the appearance of spots and dull skin.
  • Hanyul Pure Artemisia Watery Calming Toner (150ml) is a calming toner that contains baby mugwort to provide a soothing effect on skin. It can also improve skin's texture and appearance.

Korean Beauty Product Reviews of the Week:

      • So worth the price
      • “Wow! Never again will I buy the cheap sprays that supposedly "hydrate" your skin when all they really do is have the opposite effect. This stuff is actual skin care in a spray bottle. You can feel the mist of serum on your skin and it actually hydrates - I use it all throughout the day if I feel dry or if I want to feel fresh or refresh my makeup. It's so good for travelling on a flight as well. It is expensive but so so worth it and it lasts ages.”
    • In love
    • “Hydrates my skin and soooo suitable for those with sensitive to combination skin types.”

New Kbeauty Reviews 

  • Tosowoong Ovalicin Cream 

“Instant relief

Instantly soothe my currently irritated skin due to barrier comprised. The cream is thicker yet smooth and I can comfortably applying it generously though not needed over other serums and moisturiser without experiencing any pilling. I have even tried it over my makeup when my skin decided to flare up in the middle of a very long day and surprisingly it worked! I love the tea tree smells too as it reminded me of my childhood. Overall, I really love this product, it’s a gem.”

  • APLB Derma Daily Repair Cream 


“Really like it I've tried a lot of moisturisers and this is gorgeous The texture is beautiful and it did a really good job of hydrating my really dry skin as it's quite thick but absorbs well”
