Matilda never fails, prom was great and I splurged on a dior lip oil and black honey lipstick instead of the dupes despite the entire video about alternatives. Kaja topped my lids and the pimple patches helped me prep
i really love unleashia because they're cruelty free and their stuff is super fun. Their glitterpedia pallet is probably my favourite eyeshadow pallet ever made, (i like the lavender fog one) plus their foundation cushion has got bakuchiol in it!
i absolutely LOVE romand's glasting water lip balms!! especially in the shades kaya fig and nougat sand. also romand's eyeshadow palettes are some of my favorite formulations among k beauty brands. I especially love the light & glitter garden and the rosebud garden ones. also i LOVE peripera's ink mood matte tints 😍 and k beauty skincare has changed my skin for the better!
Not a hidden gem necessarily, but I've been loving Beauty of Joseon's ginseng line, especially the essence. It looks and feels like health food, in the best possible way. Their probiotic sunscreen is wildly popular for good reason, but I actually prefer Skin 1004's centella hyalu-cica sun serum, which has the same actives in a lighter base. I'm taking this video as a sign that it's time for me to try some Rom&nd lip products! Pomelo Skin looks right up my alley.
LOVE K beauty!!! Romand’s dewyful lip tint in #13 custard mauve is my current fave (and formula). Skin 1004, Purito, and Beauty of Joseon are my three favourite skincare brands, although Isntree’s SPF has definitely earned its cult status (I’d recommend trying their best selling centella & niacinamide rich products).
Love korean skincare. CosRx is a go-to, I especially love their propolis serum for improving my skin barrier. Other brands I love are Benton (the snail and bee venom line especially but the green tea line is also great) and Pyunkang Yul (simple, but so hydrating and nourishing)
i love your content so much, you’re truly the best beauty channel on this platform. id love to see you do an entire video dedicated to korean lip tints (glosses, balms, lipsticks)
Big love to cosrx! Other than their snail line, i really enjoy their propolis synergy toner! And im currently on my 4th bottle of it ❤ feels so hydrating and nourishing even when its just a toner. Pairs well with alot of serums/essence too!
I remember getting into makeup and feeling like I wasn’t good because around the time I got into it 2016-2018 bold matte makeup was the trend which didn’t fit me at all. After learning how to do makeup styles from East asia and Europe I realized I was never bad at makeup but that certain makeup styles don’t fit me and some look absolutely gorgeous ⭐️ also some other skincare Korean brands you may like is the brand “I’m from” I heard the brand is really good especially their toners
Absolutely, it's all about finding what works for you and working out what's in your beauty comfort zone! I'm glad you found styles that could inspire you ❤️ x
I think you'd love illyoon's ceramics ato concentrate cream, its deliciously hydrating and rejuvenating. I've also been loving the brand skin 1004. Their Madagascar Centella line has definitely been part of the reason my skin is looking so lovely as of late.
I love the Hado Labo "Lotions." They aren't actually what you probably think of when you think of lotion, they feel like a toner or an essence, not a moisturizer, and they are so hydrating! I learned of them through Gothamista, and they are so lovely! There are also many different types, like Gokujyun or Gokujyun premium for hydration, Shriojyun or Shriojyun premium for brightening, and Gokujyun Alpha for anti-aging. They also have light or moist formulas, so you can use the lighter version when it's hotter or humid outside or the moist version when it's colder, or your skin is dryer. They also have a great cleansing oil and vitamin C serum (the melano cc), and everything has a great price, less than USD 15! 😍
Thank you so much for sharing this Madison! I definitely like the sound of their hydrating formula. The concept of 'light' for daytime and 'moist' for my night time routine is very promising too! 💧 x
idk if this is only exclusive to asian countries 😅 but for those who still gets a little icky about dipping their fingers on tub packaging, the Cosrx snail mucin moisturizer also comes in a tube packaging! i think its around the same price as the tub one or maybe a few dollars more
hey matilda! I personally love the banila co clean it zero cleansing balm it feels like butter and removes makeup so so well and the Peripera ink mood glowy tint is an absolutely wonderful formula, it feels so comfortable on the lips ,has high shine with shades I'm sure you'd love (my favourite shades are number 3 and number 11).Another great product is the Too cool for school contour palette , its so nice for creating a natural shadow and its buildable. JungSaemMool has amazing base products! love your videos
some hidden gems that became new faves for me are Oenir's our glow lip and Hince's Mood Enhancer Lip Glow, both are glossy balms that aren't drying on the lip with pretty colours ♡
Hi Matilda! I love the kaja bronzer and blushes! They are so creamy and luminous. Also you should really check out matilda djerfs makeup style! I think its quite similar to yours! Lots of love
Found your videos about a year ago, you've drastically Improved my makeup preferences. I bought the dior lip oil and love it, as well as black honey which is my perfect shade and product. Your black honey video has Improved my options on shades I love. Would you be able to do a video about suncream? Especially ones that can be bought in europe/UK
Amazing video as always! Cosrx was my first korean skincare love that I truly enjoyed. My current loves: - Etude house soojung toner - Beauty & joseon tiktok famous sunscreen - Toboco tone up sunscreen - Numbuz:n serum 2 protein 43% creamy - Amuse lip tint shade breeze & dew boksoonga I am also eyeing to try Rovectin sunscreen that repairs skin barrier too! Generally I enjoy most of korean beauty product except concealer (too light for me) and retinol (too gentle for me). To repair skin barrier, hydration, giving moisture, and dewy looking skin? k-beauty, take my money.
When I was visiting Korea I purchased the Hince New Depth Eyeshadow in 'Point Out', I actually use it as a blush and stipple it on. Blends beautiful, as such a lovely 'blushing from within' sheen to the cheeks. The formula is to die for.
Love the Cosrx patches! Recently picked up the Beauty of Joseon sunscreens in NY and have loved them, along with the body wash - woody with a hint of citrus!
I have loved the Cosrx brand for years - affordable and works great no matter how my skin is feeling that day. As far as Korean skincare goes, I've been loving the Round Lab Birch Juice Sunscreen (just don't get the "tone-up" one since it purposefully leaves a bit of a lighter cast for a whitening effect). Also the Neogen green tea cleansing stick is my go-to travel cleanser since it's in a stick form, but isn't nearly as drying as many of its contemporaries.
i will say if you’re allergic to dust mites be cautious with the snail products and do a patch test! i had a horrible reaction and it turns out it’s linked to my dust mite allergy 😅
Hi Matilda! I would recommend trying Pyunkang Yul if you haven't already; their skincare is even better (for me) than COSRX. Their Essence Toner makes my skin ridiculously soft and has gotten rid of texture problems I was experiencing on my forehead. I second comments from others regarding the COSRX AHA/BHA toner. It has an incredibly watery texture, but it does give good results. For a manual exfoliant, I would suggest Secret Key's Lemon Sparkling Peeling Gel - it smells wonderfully citrusy and makes my skin as smooth as an ocean-worn pebble!
i was soso excited to see this video!! ive been OBSESSED with k-beauty, and skincare! i like the simple, dewy skincare style and the sheer makeup! i did some research on sunscreens andi really want to try the CORSX aloe vera sunscreen and the Beauty of Joseon rice water sunscreen! Joseon also has some serums that seem amazing for brightening! thankyou for the video! ive been looking at the Rom&nd tints! :)
Yey, another K beauty dive. Love the cosrx products, especially the creams. My new k-beauty fave is skin1004 centella line. I've already repurchased the ampoule ( a liquid toner type, very healing) and a moisturizing cream.
the cosrx snail essence + all in one cream is my ride or die!! you can get the all in one cream in a tube form if you get icky with the jar form, been through several tubes now and it makes such a difference on my oily skin if i skip these two 😅
Always been curious about those Kaja Bento boxes, glad to hear you like the formula. Will be checking out the Corsx essence to see if it helps with spot scarring. Spot patches have been so helpful with managing breakouts and healing, wish they’d been around when I was younger!
I tried the CosRX snail mucin power essence after seeing it featured in your other video and fell in love! A kbeauty recommendation I have would probably any of the Clio lip tints! I own one in 03 Afterlight Pink, and find that the dryness is somewhat solved with a layer of lip balm before, wiping off the excess lip tint after a few seconds, and then a layer of lip balm afterwards!
For pimple patches I prefer somebymi to cosrx. The shape of somebymi is different - it’s still a circle but has an outer ring that’s the sticky part? And another inner circle. As a result it ends up more invisible looking and sticks to the face better, even during sweat-intensive workouts 🎉
@@matildaonvideoother than the snail mucin, I really like their Cosrx AHA to fade hyperpigmentation and get rid of white heads. It is pretty strong though so you could sandwich it over moisturizer first then work your way up to using it straight onto the skin. I went straight into the skin and saw a visible difference overnight. My acne hyperpigmentation marks were sooo much better.
Not surprised you like both I’m meme and kaja as both are made by memebox. I love skin1004, Purito & Beauty of Joseon currently. BoJ has a ginseng & snail serum that’s fab. I’m a big ginseng fan and that line has lots of great uses of it. I’m also a fan of the lip tints from r&nd, both of those are great and I like the Dewy Waterful Tints too. They also have some great nail polishes, mostly jelly’s which I’m really liking currently.
i’ve loved just a bit of contour most days, but i’ve struggled with finding a good color that isn’t warm and orange. too cool for school Art class in Modern is the perfect palette! it’s cool, subtle and just fits my skin
Omggg k beauty and skincare from matilda! You introduced me to high end makeup and I'm glad you're branching out to high quality yet affordable k beauty 💗
Thank you Della! It's been so nice to revisit Korean brands on my channel after all this time 😄 I'm glad people were excited to see this video pop up! x
i love everything k-beauty!! for some skincare recs, anything beauty of joseon (but anyone will tell you that), i esp like their eye cream and toners. the heimish cleansing balm is my most repurchased product. the i'm from rice toner is fantastic and the cosrx propolis serum is so lovely! as for makeup, it's all about the lip tints. i love the other lip formulas from rom&nd, glasting water tint and dewyful water tint especially! i think our colour tastes differ so i won't suggest specific shades but they are lovely formulas! unleashia also has some really nice lip products that i highly recommend!
Thank you so much for this suggestion, you'll see this formula in a video very soon! Can I please ask your name to thank you for the recommendation? ☺️👏 x
Thanks for this video Matilda! I’ve been wanting to try K beauty for so long but had no idea where to start. Love your manicure too, impeccable as always!
I just love the COSRX low ph gel cleanser, my skin is sensitive but oily so it helps reduce oil without irritating me at all, i also love the aloe vera suncream because it makes my skin super glowy and doubles as a great primer
The Mucin Power Essence works really well as a gel conductor for the NuFace as well. I use mine in the morning and I found the NuFace gel pills and I just didn’t like it as a base for makeup. The snail mucin is such a great, affordable, elegant alternative and a bottle lasts a long time too. Love your videos!
This is genius Sarah! 😱👏 I'm about to start testing a NuFace device for the first time so I'll definitely give this a go, thank you (it feels reassuring to use it with a skincare formula I already know works well for me!) x
I got the im bare cheek liquid in bouncy almond baded on your rec and i am OBSESSED with the colour! Anyone have any recs for cream blushes in similar bare/beige/ almond tones? ❤
Hydrocolloid doesn't pull out the he gunk from the pimple but only take out the excess fluids. We use it in the hospital to take out extra fluid without drying it out.
💄 Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint #23 Nucadamia 💄 Rom&nd Glasting Water Tint #8 Rose Stream 💅 Rom&nd Mood Pebble Nail #2 Rosy Syrup, #19 Bare Peach, #20 Nougat Rose and #21 Melting Caramel 👆 These are my favorite makeup items. I have been been using only Rom&nd lip products for the past 2 years! I have darker lips so I love that the lip products I've used so far leave a beautiful tint that lasts a long time. I also love how it smells like sweet milk tea! Can't wait to try the matte ones too! Also, if you love a good jelly look on your nails, I HIGHLY recommend Rom&nd's Mood Pebble Nail nail polishes! They're so pretty and dry quickly!
Oohhhh Korean skincare...jadore! Ok Beauty of joseon ginseng essence, their serums are to die for (my fav is the propolis & Niacinamide) and their sunscreen are amazing, haru haru wonder Essence is so luscious and hydrating, skin 1004 is a master in centella products. Those cosrx pimple patches are great! Axis-y has a mineral sunscreen that is so lovely however a bit of a white cast if you are of brown or darker skin tone but the ingredients are great for problem skin and smell is pleasant. Oh my fav toner is the pyunkang yul black tea toner it comes out like a serum and it has all the ingredients you would want ceramides, ginseng, black tea, Niacinamide, peptide, centella and so many more its like a serum and toner in one step for me dont need hydrating serums after I use that. And obviously sunscreens are just so good no matter the brand. Very elegant and light weight.
I think you would love Purito's All Care Recovery Cica-Aid Pimple Patches even more than the CosRX. They come in 2 sizes and are thinner but more pimple patches per pack! They have better adherence than the CosRX ones!
This may be a dumb question but I really have been wanting to try the snail mucin serum, but is it abusive to snails in any way when they gather the slime? 😅
Not at all Krista! It's something I looked into as well and am very happy COSRX collect mucin in a safe way for the snails. There's more information on their website but here's a snippet - “Snails are placed over a mesh net in a dark and quiet room. As nocturnal creatures, this provides them with a comfortable space to freely roam about. After about an hour, the snails are transferred back to their homes while the mucin is collected and processed for use. No external stress is applied to the snails or the mesh" 👍 x
Thank you Eve! Aren't they fantastic! Not only do they work so well, but the texture/finish of the patch looks much nicer than an angry pimple anyway, so I even wore one out to dinner with friends the other night 😂👍 x
you have SOLD me on the snail mucin 96!!! was gonna buy it a while ago but i thought it just restored moisture which i dont think i really need at 16, but i will buy it if you say it helps with redness and fixes pimple scars!
Hi Mabel! Everyone's skin is so different so it's always a tricky subject to talk about (particularly for someone young like you, I'm conscious of you spending your pocket money!). I can tell you I've had a great experience with the formula and love that there are a few different benefits, but make sure you do some more research and listen to other reviews so you can feel confident making a purchase ☺️💙 x
Hey Matilda, have you tried Missha's Super Aqua Cell Renew Sleeping Mask? Its honestly one of the best sleeping masks i've used. I only use this and the Laneige water sleeping mask on a regular basis.
Ooh no I haven't Ruth! I've heard good things about the Missha Essence over the years too so I might have to give the brand a try next time. Thank you for the tip! 😄 x
@@matildaonvideo That's great!! Do let me know how you get on :) I feel like Missha was very popular back in the early to mid 2010s but it seems like not many talk about them anymore. They're still a great brand in my opinion! The sleeping mask is truly a stand-out product for its efficacy and its price. Hope it works for you!
I am sorry, I am just...not thrilled to put snail "essence" on my skin. The pimple patches are a very good thing, though. The Kaja shadows look like a perfect for travel combo.
Totally understand Valarie! If it makes any difference, mucin is different to the trails snails leave on the ground (they make mucin to protect themselves which is why it works well for our skin barrier too!) ☺️💧 Very true about Kaja being great for travel, such compact packaging! x
Absolutely Anastasia! I've loved the regular Snail Mucin for over a year now, but the Dual Essence was something I started using a few months ago and I enjoy that one too 😄💧 Do you have a favourite? x
@@matildaonvideo AAAHHHH Sorry I’ve been following you since freshman year of high school and now I’m a rising sophomore in college! So this is very exciting 😭🥹💖💞
@@elid5810 Wow, thank you so much! It's always amazing to hear how people's lives have changed since they started watching 🥹❤ All the best with the rest of your studies! x
COSRX snail mucin just makes me feel like ew ha ha. I just can’t put that on my face willingly, and I think snails are absolutely cool, no issue with them at all, I just can’t do it. 😂 I wish I could get over that as I’m sure it’s an amazing product.
I know it's an unusual concept to get your head around! I think it's easier if you don't picture actual snails 😅 and being fragrance-free helps it seem like any other hydrating serum or essence in my bathroom x
@@matildaonvideo Omg I'm so excited you responded! I've been a follower for a while :). I have combination skin that's prone to eczema, so I'm always looking for a gentle exfoliant that isn't too harsh or has fragrance, and this toner overperforms! I feel clean and refreshed after, pores are visibly smaller in a matter of days, and it balances my skin so well that my complexion just becomes brighter. I always try to change nothing else when I test a new product, and it was honestly like magic. I've tried some other toners occasionally and they are often thicker, stickier, and just don't have the results.
once i started using asian lip brands i discovered the reason i couldn't do the famous gradient lips was because asian lip products are just designed to do it in a way western brands cant LOL. apparently that was the secret all along.
Kaja is WAY overpriced for what it is. Cosrx shouldn't have shelved their Hyaluronic acid range, it was so so good, if you can get hold of the hyaluronic intensive cream and you have dry skin, you're gonna LOVE it. It's my holy grail. For me, the Snail 96 mucin essence is not great, it actually makes my skin oily and I'm super dry and also, sometimes breaks me out. I believe there's something in snail mucin that you can be allergic to and I didn't know until Lab Muffin Beauty Science said it. Rom&nd lip products are the best I've ever tried specially Juicy Lasting Tint Summer Light in Pink Popsicle and Dewy-Ful Water Tint in Taffy they're lovely subtle pinks, perfect for summer. I also love anything Clio, BBia and Etude. Skin care-wise, anything from the Etude House SoonJung line is awesome, Goodal's Green Tnagerine range is great, for sheetmasks SNP and Mediheal are the very best in my opinion.
Ooh I think you've mixed me up with someone else... This is my only channel, I don't make ASMR videos! But I'd love to hear who you've been watching? 😄 x
@@matildaonvideo HAHA well I’m an idiot, I think I just mixed up your filming aesthetic with someone else! But I’m pleased to have found your channel all the same!!! Sorry about that 😂😂
COSRX may not be vegan due to the inclusion of snail mucin but they are a cruelty-free brand Aylin! Animal testing is illegal in Korea, and the brand's website shares how they collect mucin in a safe way that doesn't harm the snails ☺️👍 x
It varies a bit depending on whether the products are already in stock, but sometimes it's only been 2-3 weeks to Australia! I'm happy to factor in the longer shipping time when the prices are better than other sites and you can find so many different formulas and shades in one place ☺️👍 x
It is Tif! It might seem strange at first, but mucin is what snails naturally produce to protect themselves (not the same as the trails they leave), so it's why it works nicely for our skin barrier too. There's some information on the COSRX website about the process - “Snails are placed over a mesh net in a dark and quiet room. As nocturnal creatures, this provides them with a comfortable space to freely roam about. After about an hour, the snails are transferred back to their homes while the mucin is collected and processed for use. No external stress is applied to the snails or the mesh" 👍 x
All brands featured here are made in Korea! 👍 Some have certainly become more well-known internationally, but COSRX and Kaja are made in Korea too. Kaja has a slightly different origin story as it was originally developed as a partnership between Memebox (the same Korean parent company as I'm MEME) and Sephora, but the products are still made in Korea x
I appreciate you watching! I hope you don't feel any pressure to purchase here and can enjoy tuning in whether you're shopping or not ☺️👍 (Many of my viewers don't even wear makeup but we can still share a passion and interest in beauty!) x
Thank you for mentioning this Salma! 👍 Talc isn't something I've been conscious of before but I've just been doing some reading on it... a bit of mixed messaging around so I'll look into it further in future x
Matilda never fails, prom was great and I splurged on a dior lip oil and black honey lipstick instead of the dupes despite the entire video about alternatives. Kaja topped my lids and the pimple patches helped me prep
Yay Elle! So happy to hear you had a great night 😄✨ and thank you for reporting back about your beauty steps! x
i really love unleashia because they're cruelty free and their stuff is super fun. Their glitterpedia pallet is probably my favourite eyeshadow pallet ever made, (i like the lavender fog one) plus their foundation cushion has got bakuchiol in it!

Same here , I used both Boj and skin1004 sunscreen and I prefer the later one
they have a great sunscreen stick too! it's ginseng and camellia, I think? and comes in this really convenient mini deodorant style stick.
LOVE K beauty!!!

i was soso excited to see this video!! ive been OBSESSED with k-beauty, and skincare! i like the simple, dewy skincare style and the sheer makeup! i did some research on sunscreens andi really want to try the CORSX aloe vera sunscreen and the Beauty of Joseon rice water sunscreen! Joseon also has some serums that seem amazing for brightening! thankyou for the video! ive been looking at the Rom&nd tints! :)
Yey, another K beauty dive. Love the cosrx products, especially the creams. My new k-beauty fave is skin1004 centella line. I've already repurchased the ampoule ( a liquid toner type, very healing) and a moisturizing cream.
the cosrx snail essence + all in one cream is my ride or die!! you can get the all in one cream in a tube form if you get icky with the jar form, been through several tubes now and it makes such a difference on my oily skin if i skip these two 😅
Oh a tube would be perfect! I'll definitely keep an eye out for that packaging next time. Thank you for sharing Anj! 😄👏 x
Always been curious about those Kaja Bento boxes, glad to hear you like the formula. Will be checking out the Corsx essence to see if it helps with spot scarring. Spot patches have been so helpful with managing breakouts and healing, wish they’d been around when I was younger!
I tried the CosRX snail mucin power essence after seeing it featured in your other video and fell in love! A kbeauty recommendation I have would probably any of the Clio lip tints! I own one in 03 Afterlight Pink, and find that the dryness is somewhat solved with a layer of lip balm before, wiping off the excess lip tint after a few seconds, and then a layer of lip balm afterwards!
Oh yay, so happy to hear that! ☺️💧 Thank you for the lip tint application tip too x
my sister gifted me the rom&nd dark coconut lip tint and it smells absolutely PERFECT 💛
For pimple patches I prefer somebymi to cosrx. The shape of somebymi is different - it’s still a circle but has an outer ring that’s the sticky part? And another inner circle. As a result it ends up more invisible looking and sticks to the face better, even during sweat-intensive workouts 🎉
Oh interesting, they sound good! Thank you for sharing 👍 x
Skinfood's Fresh Fruit Lip&Cheek trios are lovely. They feel balmy in the pans but have the perfect satin/semi-matte finish on the lips or cheeks.
Ooh I like the sound of this! Thank you for sharing 😍 x
I really love the unleashia and lilybyred eyeshadow palettes! I'm definitely a subtle eyeshadow person so I use them all the time
Someone else just mentioned these Meli! Going to take a look right now 👀 x
I love Cosrx for my sensitive skin. Also love Beauty of Joseon, Hada Labo, and La Roche Posay. All fragrance free.
Any favourite COSRX formulas Christine? They've become a firm favourite for me too! 😍 x
@@matildaonvideoother than the snail mucin, I really like their Cosrx AHA to fade hyperpigmentation and get rid of white heads. It is pretty strong though so you could sandwich it over moisturizer first then work your way up to using it straight onto the skin.
I went straight into the skin and saw a visible difference overnight. My acne hyperpigmentation marks were sooo much better.
I also use it to control the bumps on my arms. Has been a great way for me to control my KP :)
Congrats on the beautiful bag, you deserve it! I have two Polène bags and looove them, you should go for it!
Not surprised you like both I’m meme and kaja as both are made by memebox. I love skin1004, Purito & Beauty of Joseon currently. BoJ has a ginseng & snail serum that’s fab. I’m a big ginseng fan and that line has lots of great uses of it.
I’m also a fan of the lip tints from r&nd, both of those are great and I like the Dewy Waterful Tints too. They also have some great nail polishes, mostly jelly’s which I’m really liking currently.
Nail polish?! I'm on it, thanks for sharing Laura! 👀💅 x
i’ve loved just a bit of contour most days, but i’ve struggled with finding a good color that isn’t warm and orange. too cool for school Art class in Modern is the perfect palette! it’s cool, subtle and just fits my skin
Omggg k beauty and skincare from matilda! You introduced me to high end makeup and I'm glad you're branching out to high quality yet affordable k beauty 💗
Thank you Della! It's been so nice to revisit Korean brands on my channel after all this time 😄 I'm glad people were excited to see this video pop up! x
i love everything k-beauty!! for some skincare recs, anything beauty of joseon (but anyone will tell you that), i esp like their eye cream and toners. the heimish cleansing balm is my most repurchased product. the i'm from rice toner is fantastic and the cosrx propolis serum is so lovely! as for makeup, it's all about the lip tints. i love the other lip formulas from rom&nd, glasting water tint and dewyful water tint especially! i think our colour tastes differ so i won't suggest specific shades but they are lovely formulas! unleashia also has some really nice lip products that i highly recommend!
Thank you for all of these tips Luna! Love the sound of those skincare formulas in particular, very intrigued by the cleansing balm 👀💧 x
oh!! not to mention the rom&nd glasting melting balm which is perfect if you want a glossy, tinted lip balm type product!
Adding it to my list to investigate! Thank you 😄 x
Kaja’s jelly charm glazed lip stain is amazing for lips and cheeks!! I love all their shades ❤
Thank you so much for this suggestion, you'll see this formula in a video very soon! Can I please ask your name to thank you for the recommendation? ☺️👏 x
Of course!! Carrie!
Thanks for this video Matilda! I’ve been wanting to try K beauty for so long but had no idea where to start. Love your manicure too, impeccable as always!
Thank you Andie! ☺️💅 Really appreciate this x
I just love the COSRX low ph gel cleanser, my skin is sensitive but oily so it helps reduce oil without irritating me at all, i also love the aloe vera suncream because it makes my skin super glowy and doubles as a great primer
I like the sound of that cleanser! Thank you for the suggestions ☺️ x
The Mucin Power Essence works really well as a gel conductor for the NuFace as well. I use mine in the morning and I found the NuFace gel pills and I just didn’t like it as a base for makeup. The snail mucin is such a great, affordable, elegant alternative and a bottle lasts a long time too. Love your videos!
This is genius Sarah! 😱👏 I'm about to start testing a NuFace device for the first time so I'll definitely give this a go, thank you (it feels reassuring to use it with a skincare formula I already know works well for me!) x
I got the im bare cheek liquid in bouncy almond baded on your rec and i am OBSESSED with the colour! Anyone have any recs for cream blushes in similar bare/beige/ almond tones? ❤
Hydrocolloid doesn't pull out the he gunk from the pimple but only take out the excess fluids. We use it in the hospital to take out extra fluid without drying it out.
That snail cream is my holy grail moisturizer! I don't buy anything else now!
I can see why Monica! Such a great formula 😄 x
💄 Rom&nd Juicy Lasting Tint #23 Nucadamia
💄 Rom&nd Glasting Water Tint #8 Rose Stream
💅 Rom&nd Mood Pebble Nail #2 Rosy Syrup, #19 Bare Peach, #20 Nougat Rose and #21 Melting Caramel
👆 These are my favorite makeup items.
I have been been using only Rom&nd lip products for the past 2 years! I have darker lips so I love that the lip products I've used so far leave a beautiful tint that lasts a long time. I also love how it smells like sweet milk tea! Can't wait to try the matte ones too! Also, if you love a good jelly look on your nails, I HIGHLY recommend Rom&nd's Mood Pebble Nail nail polishes! They're so pretty and dry quickly!
Anything with 'rose' in the shade name is usually a good start for me so I *love* the look of this list! 😍👏 Thank you for taking the time to share! x
@@matildaonvideoMatilda!! I love your videos! Thank you for your thoughtful response 🥰
I haven’t dive into Korean makeup yet, but I’m more and more curious about it, thanks for the recommendations! ❤
Thank you! Hope this gives you a simple list of ideas to start with ☺️👍 x
Oohhhh Korean skincare...jadore! Ok Beauty of joseon ginseng essence, their serums are to die for (my fav is the propolis & Niacinamide) and their sunscreen are amazing, haru haru wonder Essence is so luscious and hydrating, skin 1004 is a master in centella products. Those cosrx pimple patches are great! Axis-y has a mineral sunscreen that is so lovely however a bit of a white cast if you are of brown or darker skin tone but the ingredients are great for problem skin and smell is pleasant. Oh my fav toner is the pyunkang yul black tea toner it comes out like a serum and it has all the ingredients you would want ceramides, ginseng, black tea, Niacinamide, peptide, centella and so many more its like a serum and toner in one step for me dont need hydrating serums after I use that. And obviously sunscreens are just so good no matter the brand. Very elegant and light weight.
Thank you for taking the time to share this Vivienne! Lots of promising products here 😄👏 x
BEEN WAITING SOOO LONG FOR THISSSS
Thank you for waiting! 🥰 x
Oooh, I love k-beauty so much, it’s almost like you read my mind!! Thanks so much, Matilda!!
Thank you Ella 😄 Would love to hear which products and brands you enjoy! x
sulwhasoo is a fantastic korean beauty brand and numbuzin or isntree also great
Thank you for sharing! Any particular formulas you enjoy from those brands? 😄 x
Thank you for your videos! I love learning about new products from you :D
Thank you! I really appreciate that ☺️ x
I think you would love Purito's All Care Recovery Cica-Aid Pimple Patches even more than the CosRX.
They come in 2 sizes and are thinner but more pimple patches per pack! They have better adherence than the CosRX ones!
Ooh thank you for the tip Andreea! I'll look into them next time 😄👍 x
This may be a dumb question but I really have been wanting to try the snail mucin serum, but is it abusive to snails in any way when they gather the slime? 😅
Not at all Krista! It's something I looked into as well and am very happy COSRX collect mucin in a safe way for the snails. There's more information on their website but here's a snippet - “Snails are placed over a mesh net in a dark and quiet room. As nocturnal creatures, this provides them with a comfortable space to freely roam about. After about an hour, the snails are transferred back to their homes while the mucin is collected and processed for use. No external stress is applied to the snails or the mesh" 👍 x
@@matildaonvideo Omg that is sooo cute actually! Thank you so much for being so informative, you are truly one of the best creators I follow
Love seeing Romand get some love ❤ I was super curious about that cream blush, too bad I just posted an order from them a week ago…
Oh no! Next time 😉 (My code lasts for a few months so there's time for another YesStyle order later on!) x
They are all my favourite products ❤️😍 I feel lucky having easy access to most of them 😊
You lucky thing being able to find these formulas near you Fatma! 😄 Do you have any particular favourite products? x
Omg I have the cosrx cream!! I loooovvveee the gel texture and how cooling it feels on my skin, it's amazing.
So glad you enjoy it too! Yes, I had to include 'cooling' in the video, it always feels refreshing 😄💧 x
I’d love a peripera review and some other YesStyle brands
Love the make-up colour theme! 😍 are the lip brands available in Oz?
Thank you! I'm not sure about physical stockists, but YesStyle ships to Australia so that's the website I've always used ☺️👍 x
I love the cosrx pimple patches they're so effective! loev you videos
Thank you Eve! Aren't they fantastic! Not only do they work so well, but the texture/finish of the patch looks much nicer than an angry pimple anyway, so I even wore one out to dinner with friends the other night 😂👍 x
May I recommend the Saem Healing Green Tea Cleansing water ❤
Thanks for all you do for us.
Ooh thank you for the tip Jules! ☺️ x
you have SOLD me on the snail mucin 96!!! was gonna buy it a while ago but i thought it just restored moisture which i dont think i really need at 16, but i will buy it if you say it helps with redness and fixes pimple scars!
Hi Mabel! Everyone's skin is so different so it's always a tricky subject to talk about (particularly for someone young like you, I'm conscious of you spending your pocket money!). I can tell you I've had a great experience with the formula and love that there are a few different benefits, but make sure you do some more research and listen to other reviews so you can feel confident making a purchase ☺️💙 x
how long will the discount code be up for?
I think it lasts for a few months! 😄👍 x
Hey Matilda, have you tried Missha's Super Aqua Cell Renew Sleeping Mask? Its honestly one of the best sleeping masks i've used. I only use this and the Laneige water sleeping mask on a regular basis.
Ooh no I haven't Ruth! I've heard good things about the Missha Essence over the years too so I might have to give the brand a try next time. Thank you for the tip! 😄 x
@@matildaonvideo That's great!! Do let me know how you get on :) I feel like Missha was very popular back in the early to mid 2010s but it seems like not many talk about them anymore. They're still a great brand in my opinion! The sleeping mask is truly a stand-out product for its efficacy and its price. Hope it works for you!
I am sorry, I am just...not thrilled to put snail "essence" on my skin. The pimple patches are a very good thing, though. The Kaja shadows look like a perfect for travel combo.
Totally understand Valarie! If it makes any difference, mucin is different to the trails snails leave on the ground (they make mucin to protect themselves which is why it works well for our skin barrier too!) ☺️💧 Very true about Kaja being great for travel, such compact packaging! x
yay, so excited for this!
Thank you Eliza! (Love your name) ☺️ x
I'm so glad you tried the snail mucin and niacinamide dual essence!
Absolutely Anastasia! I've loved the regular Snail Mucin for over a year now, but the Dual Essence was something I started using a few months ago and I enjoy that one too 😄💧 Do you have a favourite? x
Love these videos! 💞💖🥹
Thank you! 😄 Hope you enjoy it x
@@matildaonvideo AAAHHHH Sorry I’ve been following you since freshman year of high school and now I’m a rising sophomore in college! So this is very exciting 😭🥹💖💞
@@elid5810 Wow, thank you so much! It's always amazing to hear how people's lives have changed since they started watching 🥹❤ All the best with the rest of your studies! x
Cant get enough of J beauty amf K beauty❤
I am very tempted now
Thank you for watching Anita! What caught your eye? 😄👀 x
COSRX snail mucin just makes me feel like ew ha ha. I just can’t put that on my face willingly, and I think snails are absolutely cool, no issue with them at all, I just can’t do it. 😂 I wish I could get over that as I’m sure it’s an amazing product.
I know it's an unusual concept to get your head around! I think it's easier if you don't picture actual snails 😅 and being fragrance-free helps it seem like any other hydrating serum or essence in my bathroom x
@@matildaonvideo I’m not bothered by snails, that’s the weird thing, but sticking snail goo on my face, not too appealing. I’ll work on it 🤣
COSRX's AHA/BHA Toner is literally my ride or die, if i was trapped on a desert island and only allowed one skin care item, product.
Wow Trish! That is such a big call! 😱👏 What do you like most about it? Definitely going on my list to try in future, thank you x
@@matildaonvideo Omg I'm so excited you responded! I've been a follower for a while :). I have combination skin that's prone to eczema, so I'm always looking for a gentle exfoliant that isn't too harsh or has fragrance, and this toner overperforms! I feel clean and refreshed after, pores are visibly smaller in a matter of days, and it balances my skin so well that my complexion just becomes brighter. I always try to change nothing else when I test a new product, and it was honestly like magic. I've tried some other toners occasionally and they are often thicker, stickier, and just don't have the results.
once i started using asian lip brands i discovered the reason i couldn't do the famous gradient lips was because asian lip products are just designed to do it in a way western brands cant LOL. apparently that was the secret all along.
Yes, ombré lip colours were happening before we even had a name for the look! 💄 x
can u try indonesian makeup plzz? (wardah, somethinc, etc)
Great video
Thank you Kirsty! 😄 x
@@matildaonvideo your welcome
I really like Orjena skincare
Thank you for sharing Barbara! Any particular products you enjoy? 😄 x
Hi stock up on good molecules overnight exfoliating treatment. It’s really good.
Thank you for the suggestion! 👍 x
It’s the best 😭
🥰👏 x
If you have acne under the skin I recommend the zitkilla patches with the micro needles. It really penetrates under the skin.
Ooh yes I've heard of those! Thank you for sharing Leah ☺️👍 x
the snail essence and moisturizer have been a staple for me! Used many bottles already 😁 they really helped my skin when I started using tretinoin
Great to hear they've been a big help for you too! ☺️💙 x
Kaja is WAY overpriced for what it is. Cosrx shouldn't have shelved their Hyaluronic acid range, it was so so good, if you can get hold of the hyaluronic intensive cream and you have dry skin, you're gonna LOVE it. It's my holy grail. For me, the Snail 96 mucin essence is not great, it actually makes my skin oily and I'm super dry and also, sometimes breaks me out. I believe there's something in snail mucin that you can be allergic to and I didn't know until Lab Muffin Beauty Science said it. Rom&nd lip products are the best I've ever tried specially Juicy Lasting Tint Summer Light in Pink Popsicle and Dewy-Ful Water Tint in Taffy they're lovely subtle pinks, perfect for summer. I also love anything Clio, BBia and Etude. Skin care-wise, anything from the Etude House SoonJung line is awesome, Goodal's Green Tnagerine range is great, for sheetmasks SNP and Mediheal are the very best in my opinion.
I’m shocked at your accent because I can’t hear it AT ALL in your ASMR videos! Thanks for the amazing content!
Ooh I think you've mixed me up with someone else... This is my only channel, I don't make ASMR videos! But I'd love to hear who you've been watching? 😄 x
@@matildaonvideo HAHA well I’m an idiot, I think I just mixed up your filming aesthetic with someone else! But I’m pleased to have found your channel all the same!!! Sorry about that 😂😂
I’d like to know if cosrx is cruelty free, but then they’re using snails.. so I guess not 😪
COSRX may not be vegan due to the inclusion of snail mucin but they are a cruelty-free brand Aylin! Animal testing is illegal in Korea, and the brand's website shares how they collect mucin in a safe way that doesn't harm the snails ☺️👍 x
@@matildaonvideo thank you Matilda
Can you do drug store beauty favorites next?
Working on some drugstore dupes content coming soon! 😄👍 x
@@matildaonvideo Yay! Can't wait!
💙💙💙
Thanks for watching Aaron! ☺️ x
Any vegan options anyone loves?
Certain Kaja and Rom&nd formulas might be vegan if you look into them online Jody? Hopefully you'll find some more information 🤞 x
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for watching Anna! 😘 x
I just wish yes style didn’t take so long to deliver. It takes a month sometimes.
It varies a bit depending on whether the products are already in stock, but sometimes it's only been 2-3 weeks to Australia! I'm happy to factor in the longer shipping time when the prices are better than other sites and you can find so many different formulas and shades in one place ☺️👍 x
Try Lila Beauty - you’ll have your haul in a matter of days!
Im so confused and put off by "snail" ....its not really snail slime from an actual snail is it???!!
It is Tif! It might seem strange at first, but mucin is what snails naturally produce to protect themselves (not the same as the trails they leave), so it's why it works nicely for our skin barrier too. There's some information on the COSRX website about the process - “Snails are placed over a mesh net in a dark and quiet room. As nocturnal creatures, this provides them with a comfortable space to freely roam about. After about an hour, the snails are transferred back to their homes while the mucin is collected and processed for use. No external stress is applied to the snails or the mesh" 👍 x
Oh wow thanks! Might check some products out next boniik order 🙂
@@matildaonvideo oh I was incorrect! I totally thought it was the trail they left! Now I can handle this, thank you. 🤣💜👌
Love videos like this.🫶 Keep up the good work Mathilda❤️
Thank you Edith! 🥰 x
The only real Korean brand on here is Rom&nd. Cosrx is far more popular internationally atp. Kaja is marketed towards North America.
So none of the others are made by Korea? I think this video isn’t about what’s popular in Korea, but just Korean brands in general.
All brands featured here are made in Korea! 👍 Some have certainly become more well-known internationally, but COSRX and Kaja are made in Korea too. Kaja has a slightly different origin story as it was originally developed as a partnership between Memebox (the same Korean parent company as I'm MEME) and Sephora, but the products are still made in Korea x
POV: you are from a poor country and can't afford good quality products so you can only watch reviews.
I appreciate you watching! I hope you don't feel any pressure to purchase here and can enjoy tuning in whether you're shopping or not ☺️👍 (Many of my viewers don't even wear makeup but we can still share a passion and interest in beauty!) x
I love Kaja but I found out that it has talc !:/
Thank you for mentioning this Salma! 👍 Talc isn't something I've been conscious of before but I've just been doing some reading on it... a bit of mixed messaging around so I'll look into it further in future x
