Did you see our K-Beauty Awards poll? Yup, this is COMMUNITY VOTING (not what some store decides are the best of the year). We want to hear from YOU! What was the best of K-beauty in 2017? Take the poll now (oh, and you can win a big box of 25 K-beauty products worth over $400 — just a little incentive 😂). https://w2beauty.com/k-beauty-awards/

Just tried this last night. OMG. Stopped my raging cystic hormonal pimple in its tracks. I love how this tackles a blemish in three different ways: a giant (I’m talking 5x the size of a regular swab) AHA BHA swab, a pink zinc and calamine cream, and a hydrocolloidal. Has anyone else tried Tiam’s Spot Remover Kit?

It has seriously replaced my previously go-to COSRX Master Acne Patches. They’re extra sticky to really suck out all that grossness.

You know you\’re a beauty addict when you lose your Sulwhasoo Cushion Compact in the middle of a rice field in Vietnam, and you would rather go all the way back the next day to find it than enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel. What makes you a K-beauty addict?

Hope you found it in the end, lol. I know I’m a K-beauty addict when I’m physically incapable of going to sleep without double cleansing and putting at least three moisturising layers of skincare products on my skin!
annapark
December 2, 2017 at 5:47 PM
I didn’t find it! 😫 So of course, on my layover in Seoul, the first thing I did was head straight to a Sulwhasoo counter and buy a refill.
sephiria
December 3, 2017 at 10:20 PM
Aww, at least you could get a replacement quickly! And hopefully duty free. ^.^
annapark
December 4, 2017 at 4:56 PM
I did get it duty free, but did you know that Sulwhasoo is more expensive in Korea than in the U.S.? Isn’t that crazy?
sephiria
December 5, 2017 at 2:00 AM
:O Whaaaaa? That’s actually insane!! Does that apply to many of the other brands as well? I’ve been holding off on buying some skincare since I’ll be going to Korea in March next year but if that’s the case I might as well buy them here. 🙁
annapark
December 5, 2017 at 3:46 AM
No, it’s only for Sulwhasoo as far as I know. All the other K-beauty brands are a little cheaper in Korea.

Thanks for the recommendations @lovekathy_21. I spent 1 day in Myeongdong and 1 day on Garosugil and that took ALL my time. And I was even rushed! Thank goodness for duty free shopping at the airport. You think you have enough beauty and then all of a sudden you see … next thing you know, I have a new suitcase I’m lugging home. 😂

i want to try it but how was the shades? is it super light for 23 shades?
annapark
August 30, 2017 at 10:24 PM
I’m ideally a 25, so the 23 was a tad light for me. But now what I do is dab the puff into the cushion once, then dab the puff into a darker foundation on the back of my hand, and not only do I get the perfect shade for me, but I get the benefits of the luminous finish of the Romand cushion. I know this because I’ve tested this mixing method with all my cushions and so far, only the Romand cushion looks that luminous and that natural while still covering my dark spots. It’s amazing. Even better than Sulwhasoo, Missha, etc.
kbeautyholic53091
August 30, 2017 at 10:28 PM
i see i must try this one before my favorite cushion is from w.lab but i dont know where i can purchase it .then i switch to april skin…and im looking for new cushion im thinking etude house cushion but hearing your review i think i might buy the romand cushion😀😀

annapark
August 30, 2017 at 10:11 PM
Ok, that\’s it. Romand has officially converted me away from all my other beloved cushion compacts (yes, even you, AmorePacific Age Control). Like @cocopark said, it may well be the \”find\” of the year. Of course, I have to mix it with my darker foundations to get the right color (why, 23, why?!), but it\’s worth it because seriously the finish is … like its name … like Innerlighting. 😍😍😍😍
Jude Chao
August 30, 2017 at 10:14 PM
REALLY. I need this! What would you say the shade is like?
annapark
August 30, 2017 at 10:27 PM
I have a 23, but they have a 21 also. 23 is always a bit light for me (like dead of winter skin). You’d look amazing in the 21.
Jude Chao

i love cushion so much it saves me a lot of time😀😀is 23 shades is super light?
annapark
August 30, 2017 at 10:28 PM
23 is light for me @angelica. But I mix it with a darker foundation and it’s perfect! Their puff is so soft, I love it. I feel like it’s one of the best puffs out there. And I loooove the pink packaging. I’m a sucker for pretty packaging.
kbeautyholic53091
August 30, 2017 at 10:38 PM
im currently using the 23 shades but sometimes cushion even it said 23 are sometime too lighter…what darker foundation you can recomend that blend well with it??

I\’ve been masking all week to recover from KCON, and I have to say — not unhappy with the results. 🎉 💃 🎉 We\’ll see how long this lasts … but I\’m going to enjoy it for now. Does anyone else do daily sheet masks to help their skin recover from a stressful week? What\’s your go-to mask? I\’m loving Papa Recipe Bombee, Moksha Shea Butter (did it today!), and my new love, Goodal Black Charcoal Oxygen Radiance.
Jude Chao
August 30, 2017 at 9:58 PM
I do sheet masks probably 5-6 nights a week and it makes a huge difference for me! I really like the Papa Recipe masks too, and the Chinese Medicine line from a Taiwanese brand called Maskingdom. I need to restock on hydrogels though–those are super refreshing!
annapark
August 30, 2017 at 10:19 PM
I haven’t used a hydrogel in ages. Is microfiber or silk more common these days, or still the usual cotton?
Ruth Kim
August 30, 2017 at 10:08 PM
Do you ever use wash-off masks instead of using sheet masks on some days? Or strictly sheet masks?
annapark
August 30, 2017 at 10:17 PM
I do wash-off at night, when I’m multi-masking like every 10 days, and finish with a sheet mask. For day, I only use sheet masks because I don’t wanna wash my face like 6 times in the morning. What about you @ruthkim
Ruth Kim
August 30, 2017 at 10:26 PM
I actually multi-masked last night! After cleansing with foam cleanser, I used Skinfood’s Black Sugar Mask, and after washing it off + toner, I used Moksha’s Tea Tree essence mask!
annapark
August 30, 2017 at 10:29 PM
Is that Black Sugar Mask really that amazing? I’m not much of an exfoliator so I’m weak in that area. How does it compare to Moksha’s Berry or Orange mask?
Ruth Kim
August 31, 2017 at 1:20 AM
I think that mask was one of my first exfoliating products. I like it because it smells delicious, and it’s really gentle on my skin (and you know me, I have weirdly sensitive skin!) I feel like Moksha’s Berry mask doesn’t necessarily exfoliate as well, but I like both the Black Sugar Mask and Orange mask equally!
sophiebxl
August 31, 2017 at 4:17 AM
Yes it is great! I like that you can change the level of exfoliation by adding water to it! When my skin is not happy but need gentle exfoliation I will add a bit of water. Otherwise I use it pure!
kbeautyholic53091

before i do everyday mask but rightnow with a broken tiring schedule i do only 3x a week.

I wish I could do every day, but I definitely try to do every day after a really tiring week!

Phew! Now that KCON’s over (and we gave away 2,000+ gift bags!), back to the daily grind! I treated myself to a La Flor mask on Monday (heaven), a Moksha Berry Mask on Tuesday (surprisingly heavenly!), then a Papa Recipe Bombee Rose Gold Mask (even more heaven) on Wednesday. My skin is feeling soooo good. Have you ever tried any of these masks? I love the gold honeycomb print on the Bombee mask.

My (beauty) goal in life: To have such good skin, I can be a beauty minimalist, needing only an antioxidant-enriched facial mist and a good cushion for coverage.
jacmakeup
August 6, 2017 at 6:36 PM
I find that I go back and forth between wanting the fresh, dewy no makeup makeup “cool girl” look, and wanting full glam six eyeshadows and false lashes Instagram look. Thankfully, a base of well tended skin makes both of them even easier to attain.
jerrica
August 6, 2017 at 10:48 PM
I agree, Jules! I also think seasons play a huge role into how I plan out my makeup. For fall and winter I’m pretty minimal, using neutral tone shadows, a quick mini cat eye, and neutral lip. In the spring and summer though I love bright vibrant corals and shimmery shadows. I completely agree that having a clear, bright canvas though on our skin makes all the difference!
annapark
August 7, 2017 at 12:56 AM
Oh, I’ll never give up my liquid liner and lip colors. They’re too fun. But yeah, I’d love to be one of those girls: Just concealer on my imperfections and I’m ready to go! Mmm, yeah. Not there yet 😂

Beauty tip I didn’t know: Back away from chemical exfoliation during the summer.
Jude Chao
August 4, 2017 at 7:52 PM
I also dropped my tretinoin this summer! It’s good to lay off of photosensitizing stuff when the sun is so strong, yes.
jacmakeup
August 4, 2017 at 8:01 PM
I’ve still been using chemical exfoliants, but mostly BHAs since my skin gets clogged from sweating so damn much! I still use AHA about once a week, but I’m also not an “outside person” in the summer, so I’m inside all day. (And my runs to the car-work-house are under 15 minutes and not during peak sun.)
I love the Goodal Water Oil! It’s definitely perfect for summer.
annapark
August 5, 2017 at 12:24 AM
I limit my AHA to about once or twice a week now too. (‘Cause Coco scared the bejeezus outta me. 😂) BHAs are ok for summer tho, thank goodness.
sheryll
August 5, 2017 at 12:43 AM
you can pry my chemical exfoliants from my cold, dead hands. LOLOLOL! I know it’s bad but my skin is a mess if I don’t use lactic acid like 3x a week, lol!
