Thank you for showing your real skin without filter in your no makeup demos. Makes you so relatable - and still you easily have one of the most beautiful faces on youtube. Great video as always, looove your reviews!
I know there's probably a million comments re-iterating this, but I always appreciate your thorough and well-researched long-form content. I know you must put a lot of time and effort into this, so know that you're appreciated! also I loooove K-beauty, have been using it for over ten years (showing me age :) -- yesss!
Hey Kait, just wanna let you know that, for most Korean glossy lip tint formulas, such as the Romand tints, rubbing your lips together or patting them in with your fingers makes them less glossy! To achieve maximum glossiness, they say to not touch the formula at all.
Have you tried Round Lab sunscreens? It's been the bestseller in Korea since it launched. The trend for blushes in Korea now is using a very light, almost white based color, to make your cheeks look plumper and more youthful. They put that color almost where you have that under eye hollow and even the wrinkles next to your nose/smile lines.
I soooo appreciate your description of the smells and tastes in everything. It saves me quite some time post-review-googling which I normally have to do. I haaaate almost every fragrance in lip products. Thank you!!
It’s genuinely adorable how you pine for the Nature Republic balms when talking about literally any other lip product. Really emphasizes how much you love them.
Thank you for doing so many in-depth reviews with no filters in good natural lighting!!! Your channel is the only reliable one for me as i need to refresh my make up which i haven’t changed or used since highschool as a woman in college now 😅 we also have similar skin tones and you always put on lip products as is not over concealer or three other products so i can actually see what products look like ❤❤
Missha in shade 13 is more pink toned than 21. It’s a perfect match on my very cool toned skin. But since the fragrance and essential oils in it don’t work well for you. But thought I’d mention it for anyone else interested in it.
Also, the eyelash trend in Korea now is to actually make your lashes clump together. They'd use tweezers to pinch the lashes together after applying mascara to create that look that almost feels like you're wearing thick individual lashes. Like those lashes you see in manga. That trend started with kpop stage makeup.
Oh lord I'd be good at that look. Sometime its hard to not get my lashes clump together . But I love that look , if it's like I'm thinking , the way twiggy used to do her lashes ? I'll have to look that up
Ha they like it neat and clean without actual chunks so they'd use heat to tidy up and melt those chunks away if there are any with heat. There are heated lash curlers or professional makeup artists would burn 2 toothpicks and use that remaining heat to melt the extra mascara away. It's fascinating.
Thank you so much for being so thorough, especially around fragrance. I have a genuine reaction to most essential oils which bring me out in rashes and turn my skin to crispy bacon, so avoiding them is more than a superstition - but that leaves very little left! Being unable to sniff means I can't justify risking something with a smidgen of fragrance, but hearing from you that something has subtle or less irritating scents means I might give it a try.
Agree the 3CE Water Blur Tint is perfect btw, I'm always surprised it gets less attention compared to the Etude House Fixing Tint. To me the 3CE lasts longer and looks subtler
I’ve discovered this RU-vid channel just now and I'm so amazed! Thank you so much for sharing with us your reviews I’m so impressed by how helpful your videos are: you’re not only showing us and describing all those products, but making detailed swatches and even putting the products on so we get to see every little detail, actual color, texture which are essential in order to understand what kind of product it is so I could easily go and order it online. I love that you add time codes so it’s easy to go to the products I’m more interested in directly, naming the prices is also great! I can’t even imagine how much time consuming it is to make these videos so again thank you a lot for your work I genuinely appreciate it ❤
So glad for this video! I also recently fell in love with the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen. I’ve been filling my cart over the last few weeks with various skincare items and you tried a lot of the ones I’ve been seeing recommended! Also for cleansing balms I was debating buying the Beauty of Joseon vs. Anua and you’ve solidified that I need to try both.
This is awesome. I LOVE the Juicy Pang Blusher in RD01 & so many friends borrow it from me in my studio (but I also love the Em Cosmetics one) - and yes, I have dry skin. Ironically, not a fan of the Holika Holika Jelly Dough Blusher
I love the way you review the products and Thank you for addressing smells! Also I wonder which gloss do you use after blotting the lip tint? I'm sure if you use it it's great.
That Judydoll gloss was actually pretty viral. The glossiness was supposed to be transfer proof. There are quite a few TikToks of people touching a wine glass to their lips and making Shocked Influencer Face when it doesn’t transfer.
@@StateofKaithey Kait, I made a similar comment about this elsewhere, but for the judydoll tints, you’re not supposed to rub your lips together or pat them in with your fingers. You have to let them set.
@@JenChenshuffler I have no idea what you guys are talking about! 😂 I just applied it again, didn’t rub my lips together, let it sit for ten minutes, and it still smudges like any other gloss. I guess the color doesn’t come off as much but the gloss definitely does.
@@StateofKaityou’re right - when ppl say it’s transfer proof I think they’re mostly talking about the colour. I think it’s similar to the Romand Glasting Water Tint in that respect.
Water tints really do suck sometimes, as even as someone who loves them. They're finicky, and have to be used in a very particular way to make them look good. When I use water stains, I use the elf concealer brush (its a VERY small brush) to layer miniscule amounts of product at a time until I get the pigmentation I want. Using this method, the stain dries down before it has a chance to get in my teeth, and it doesn't have the time to settle into the cracks as much. I make absolutely no excuses for the packaging of the Etude stain. It sucks, and the damage to your floors is horrifying. I use it all the time though because I haven't found a good sheer red stain that is actually red, they're usually pink or orange when sheered out.
This vid is what made me finally decide to get the Honey Melting Lip! I kept getting tempted by all your vids but this officially put it on my list! I snagged Plum and Coconut for $6-7 each on Amazon for prime day. SO cheap but such quality! I hate goopy lip glosses so much but this gives the shine I’m usually jealous of with those goopy glosses, but without the goop 👏🏽 It does feel thick like you said but in a good way, that it’s gonna stay on my lips and hold in that moisture. It’s not exactly a nourishing lip balm for me; I think wearing it alone makes a bit of lip skin feel slightly dry (but like… BARELY), but I don’t get that at all if I just moisturize with a proper balm (Summer Fridays is my holy grail) before applying this. This as a topper to a balm is perfection because that shit will lock in all the hydration. I loveeee. I also got these right before I was gonna go to the mall to get the new gloss stix…… but I was so excited about these that I felt I could skip on the fenty!
Amazing video. Timestamps are epic. Thank you so much for helping inform my purchases on this site. I have had some fails (water tint 😢) but am still excited to try more and now I don’t have to blind buy.
Perfect timing! I was just looking through YesStyle last night because I need to restock my sunscreen but wanted to add on some makeup (all the lip products are confusing, they seem so similar looking at the product page!). Bummer you reacted to the skin1004 so bad, that one is my favorite, and beauty of joseon actually stings my eyes! Sunscreen is so personal
I love Cosrx products, so far they don't seem to irritate my skin. Wish I didn't have to buy so many single ingredient products. Hate to say it but I really like Charlotte Tillbury products. Just bought the cream 40% off plus a discount for being a rewards member.
Oh my gosh, the way I could immediately smell that Missha cream when you were talking about it even though I haven’t used a Missha product in like 10 years lol. Their sunscreen used to give me a massive headache because of the fragrance. Also, I’ve watched several of your longer form review videos now and can I just say, your presentation is so good! You speak so clearly, I love all the different demo shots you give us of the products, and the details you give are super informative and actually helpful for making purchasing decisions ❤
I have to go to bed wish Id watched your content earlier because your straight talking no nonsense person. I have work tomorrow. Will pick up were I left off tomorrow. Ill try the kaja eyeshadows youve suggested, thanks. 😊😘😘😘
As always, thank you for this absolutely legendary deep dive! I appreciate how even for products you don’t like, you mention what type of person may still enjoy them. I have tried many of these already, but the product I am most interested in trying now is the 3CE blur water tint! I also need more shades of the nature republic melting balm. I only have the darkest plum shade which is gorgeous, but I don’t get enough use out of bolder colors.
Thank you for this video! U work hard!! Im gonna get the clio lip liner and eye stick! U have gotten me into nature republic lippies and i love them!!!
As I watch I’m realizing how many things I’ve gotten from your recommendations! I got the nature republic lip balms a couple months ago and wow are they beautiful! Also fun fact, my bf and I were fishing the other day and couldn’t get the hook out, and my bf used my NR lip balm to get the hook out and save the fish! 😂
Thank you for this thorough review! Sunscreens and lip products are items I stock up every time I visit Korea. Rom&nd is my overall favorites brand, because they're just so good!
This was the video I needed. I am drawn to k-beauty, but finding reviews is difficult. Also, I was seriously laughing out loud when you said, “slime, it smells like slime”. 😂😂😂
amazing video; thankyou!!! i really appreciate the daylight swatches but you also added shade names and arrows. soooo professional and appreciated. top notch!
We have quite different tastes but I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. They are quite in depth. I absolutely adore the Peripera Mood Glowy Lip Stains and do not like their new gloss. It doesn't do absolutely anything for my lips. I do enjoy the Nature Republic lip balms, though and I found out about them through you! I have dry lips and Sahara-like skin (thanks genetics and illnesses!😞).
Interesting! I am allergic to almost every chemical sunscreen including the beauty of Joseon sunscreen but the Skin 1004 hyalu sunscreen is the only one I am not allergic to 😅
Ohhhhh. Next time I've got some extra money, you can bet I'm heading to YesStyle for at LEAST the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen...even though by the time it takes to arrive, I'll probably have purchased another mini of my beloved but stupid expensive Kinship, because I'm nearly finished with my current tube. I'll definitely be returning to your video for lip jazz references, too. PS: If you are recording some of this in your new house, I LOVE IT. PPS: Every time I see him, I yell "THUMPERRR!" aloud. He's the most precious.
Yes! Yes! Yes! I absolutely loved this video. I’ve been waiting for something like this. I deeply appreciate how thorough and honest are you in describing these products. I do prefer the romand glasting melting balms over the nature republic ones and the hourglass for a sheerer formula but I like all 3!
The Beauty of Joseon and the Skin 1004 sunscreens both use the exact same filters, and the rest of their formulas are extremely similar as well (except that they use different "extra" ingredients, like the plant extracts) so hopefully you might not actually be sensitive to these newer chemical filters after all? The Skin 1004 one also has a couple of different types of hyaluronic acid though (which always makes my skin burn personally) - maybe that's what you reacted to as well? (Sorry for the unsolicited advice!) Also, I just wanted to say that I really love your videos! It's always so refreshing to see beauty content that's focused on thorough testing, honest reviews and clear swatches! 💜
The Beauty of Joseon works for my acne prone, sensitive skin, but the Skin 1004 breaks me out, unfortunately (I just gave it another shot this week, just to make sure, and I have pimples again after a few months without any).
@johanna2076 that’s very interesting. I have dry mature skin and I love the BOJ, but the Skin 1004 just pills on me. Sunscreen/skincare/makeup is definitely a very individual thing! My favourite K sunscreen is the Numbuzn no 3 I think, although there are quite a few I like. If you prefer a physical sunscreen @StateofKait, you might like the one by Sioris. Their cleansing oil is also nice, and their mists, although I’m definitely with you on the CosRx mist which I adore!
I’ve been watching this video over a view different viewing sessions and I just finished it, first of all I’m blown away by your dedication and time and effort to make this video. I can only imagine how time consuming it was as well as being costly! But you’ve created something so thorough and helpful, I wish I had this to watch before I bought any KBeauty as I agree with so much of what you said. Some products you reviewed are currently on their way to me over a couple of orders so now I’m even more excited to get them! I believe Clio have a tubing mascara, My sister just bought it so I’ll let you know if she likes it as she only wears tubing too. Well done on such an impressive video. We need YesStyle or Stylevana to sponsor you now so we can get more KBeauty reviews! ❤❤❤
Oooh also going to recommend applying a thin layer of Laneige lip mask on your cuticles over night with a brush then put cotton gloves on when they get ragged. Miraculous.
The way I went to install Vetted and didn't want to click out of the video and then had to uninstall it and come back so I could click through your link and install it so you could get credit for it
thanks for a new video ive been needing a good distraction, my illness has been really bad for a couple of days and was just sitting and wondering what to do when i saw you posted a video. you always cheer me up. loved that it was the k beauty one ive been looking forward to it. hope you are well and safe, and i hope your job situation has been improving. you said your all time fave lip product was the ct happikiss, has something changed? thanks for such thurough reviews. love ya sending you love and positivity
I'm so sorry your symptoms have been severe, I'm sending you big hugs. And yes, once I tried the Nature Republic honey melting lips, that bumped all other products out of the #1 spot. If I HAD to rank them in order, I'd say: Nature Republic honey melting lip, Naturium phyto glow lip balm, Fitglow lip serum, Charlotte Tilbury happikiss, Rhode peptide lip balm, Ami cole lip oil.
@@StateofKait thanks for the hugs it made me happy for goodness. and thanks for the shopping list haha. i just finished buying all your fave glossy lip balms tihi. im slowly getting back to my life before my relapse but it is slow and very challenging. but im hanging on. hope your day is great and the week to come. love ya
Ohh love the video. I am in love with the romand lip formulas. I have most of the colors of the blur fudge tint. The colors are lovely the texture , everything ❤. Did you try the mcqueen water tint? It last amazing on me, color is great. On me they last well , but the spill able glass bottle is somewhat concerning. Searching for it I can't find it anymore, possibly they repackaged it
What a BANGER of a k-beauty video! I seriously couldn’t love it anymore if I tried. Thank you so much Kait for always making such long, informative videos. I appreciate you to the moon, & back❤ PS - I downloaded the Vetted app, I cannot wait to try it out!
I think some mascaras aren't advertised as tubing mascaras but are tubing mascaras. Like I heard the heimish dailism smudge stop mascara is tubing but I've personally never tried it. It does say in the detail "washes off easily woth just lukewarm water"
That’s so funny, I love the Apieu Juicy Pang Water Blusher!😂 But its sheerness is exactly why I love it so much, because I tend towards getting red throughout the day so I only want a blusher that is very sheer and watery. I put this on bare skin, and it has really great and subtle staying power.
Okay finally got around to watching this video and I’m currently obsessed with Nature Republic Honey Melting LIp in Lychee and in Berry (pomegranate was a little too bright/orange for me, but love the formula). This is just a thanks for turning me on to this!!! Such a fan 🎉❤
This is GREAT -- I've tried many of these and it's always fun to see how well it works (or doesn't work) on other people. You might like Etude Sunprise Mild Airy Finish SPF50++++ (these names lol) it's a 100% mineral sunscreen that's a thin liquid that dries fast, I love it, no white cast on me. They have it on AMZ.
The BoJ and Skin1004 sunscreens are both made by Kolmar with the SAME filters and SAME base formula. If it gave you a rash, it wasn’t the sunscreen filters.
The zero sebum powder for me is a touch up product.. to keep on your purse, not actually your mkeup first pick powder. I use it for daily touch up but my main powder is chanel poudre libre. I work 12h shift.. when i get around 6h of work i would blot and use this powder.. get back looking fresh and it keeps things looking civilized til the end of shift. 😂
Thanks for this deep dive! I am most excited about the lip products! I already love k beauty toners and sunscreen. Purchased rom&nd melting balms based on your swatches and review and love them already. I am excited to try more lip products next, making the list! ❤ Thanks again for all the efforts you put in!
Absolutely love this video! You went through so much and I’m so excited to try some new products! It’s amazing how superior Korean skincare is but at way better price points. So, thank you for making this! Definitely getting the cleansing oil 🥰
Beauty of Joseon (or however it’s spelled) burned my skin so bad 😢 I sold it on Mercari . But because of you Kait, I own Dyptique eau Duelle EDT (LOVE it) and Nature’s Republic honey melt lip and now own 3 shades because it’s so good. It makes my lips soft and look so plump-y. Thank you for your deep dive reviews and helping me declutter and really hold onto products I’ll actually use and rebuy! 😊
