What is Korean beauty?
Also known as K-beauty, Korean beauty typically refers to skin, hair and bodycare that originates from South Korea. Korean formulas are often made from natural ingredients, such as ginseng, bamboo and green tea, which are likely to be derived from antioxidant-rich botanical extracts. Many of these innovative ingredients focus on skin barrier health, in particular centella asiatica, which is rich in amino acids to help strengthen your surface layer and keep your complexion protected.

Ever since I was a little girl, I have been interested in all things beauty as I used to watch my mum do her makeup and hair all the time and then I would try and use her products! I now love finding the best beauty buys out there and then recommending them to my friends and family to find out there experience with using them. To me the beauty industry has no limits, you can use different products or even just one product to create a variety of looks and through using different tools it can be made into an experience tailored to you. For me, perfecting my base is my fave thing to do and play around with, as I like it to last me all day whilst still looking flawless! So a handful of high quality products that I can rely on to achieve my natural yet airbrushed effect daily look is an essential as it gives me the confidence to be bold. As I am always trying and testing out new foundations, concealers, powders, primers and setting sprays I feel like I have a handle on the best makeup products out there. I am an advocate in using products that make you feel FANTASTIC as well as LOOKING FANTASTIC! I am currently loving the NARS Afterglow Lip Balm in the shade 'Orgasm' as it adds the perfect sheen of colour onto my lips whilst also moisturising them!
