If you’re looking for the next big thing in beauty, odds are you’ll find it on Peach and Lily or Cupidrop. Both sites stock exclusively Korean products. While much has been made about the 10-step Korean beauty routine, there’s plenty to covet even if you don’t have the time or funds for an extensive regimen.
In fact, because Korean women are so discerning about skincare/makeup and because the Korean market is so competitive, brands are constantly innovating to the point where they’re multiple steps ahead of the US and Europe. Just take their masks for instance. If you head to Peach and Lily, you won’t just find your standard cream, you’ll find overnight masks, paper masks, rubber masks, sheet masks, modeling masking…endless options!
The Korean market has also moved on from BB and CC creams and now has VV creams. Check out Banila Co. VV Cushion, a new line of VV products formulated with collagen to help firm and plump the skin. Also worth a special shout-out is Laneige Two Tone Lip Bar. Designed to make getting an ombré lip easy while cutting down on products, each applicator is a 2-in-1 rectangular shape that combines a darker lip color and a lighter, brighter lip color. There are literally dozens upon dozens of other products you’ve likely never seen before if you peruse these two e-commerce sites.
Packaging is also eye-catching, even when it comes to their inexpensive products. The only downside is that most Korean products aren’t made with darker skin tones in mind, but that may well change as their popularity grows outside of Asia.
