Few things can make your eyes pop like long, thick lashes. I’ve tried false eyelashes in the past to achieve this look but ultimately gave up because I could never get the finicky glue application right. When Glamnetic came across my social media feed, it caught my attention because instead of glue, they utilize the…
I’ve had dry skin for as long as I can remember. Even back in my youthful college days, I always went back to my mom’s old fashioned Korean moisturizer for dry skin to survive the New England winters. I didn’t love the look or smell of the cream but using anything else would make me…
Most of us consider ourselves veterans at eyeliner application, but apparently we’ve been doing it wrong our whole lives! I’ve always had issues with hit or miss bad eyeliner days and wondered how those beauties on K-Dramas always have the most amazingly beautiful and natural eye makeup. After watching way too many online tutorials, I…
Most of us are guilty of hitting snooze, once or twice (or, if you are anything like me, a whole 7 times!) before we finally make it out of the bed. So it is no wonder that we are short on time and always rushing through our mornings, barely leaving us any time to give…

But the truth is that everyone, regardless of race, can achieve the coveted rewards of K-Beauty. What is K-Beauty? K-Beauty stands for Korean beauty and to understand it, the first thing you need to know…
The obscure and hard to pronounce DAENG GI MEO RI shampoo has been sold at Costco for the past several years. Now I know why. Even the best wellness and beauty products seem to take a lot of time and hard work to see results. Allow me to introduce some instant gratification into your hair…
Ever notice how so many Korean actresses have the most perfect, translucent skin? K-Dramas especially love to zoom in on their faces for extreme close-ups. You would expect to see every single pore, that is if these ladies had any. Yes, we know the power of a good makeup artist but poreless? That’s another level…
Makeup tattoos (aka semi-permanent makeup) demystified Many Korean women look makeup flawless from morning until evening. Not me! In fact, most days I don’t apply any makeup.
