Every one of these products — including breakthroughs, beauty steals, and unreal splurges — will take your beauty regime to the next level. Check ‘em out below!
1. Pore Control BB Cushion
This hot favorite is probably the star that has started the whole BB/CC Cushion revolution. In this humidity, skin becomes untidy within hours of wearing makeup due to excessive sebum secretion and sweat. Incomparably superb, the NEW Pore Control BB Cushion offers a 2-step oil control system that mattifies and controls oil on the skin’s surface while providing moisture beneath the skin. Wrapped in an ultra-light texture, it conceals pores and unevenness to achieve a flawless Korean complexion.

2. Water Sleeping Mask
Skin tends to become rough and dull as it is exposed to harmful elements on a daily basis. This overnight, revitalizing gel mask absorbs instantly and works while you sleep to deeply hydrate skin. Partied a little too hard last night? Even if you didn’t sleep well, your skin need not reflect that — it moisturizes and revitalizes skin as if you have had a good night’s sleep for 8 hours — and gives skin a lively, well-rested appearance the next morning.

Loved by women across Asia, Laneige’s signature moisturizing essence is perfect for thirsty skin by awakening natural moisturizing agents in the skin for 24-hour moisturized, smooth skin. Comprising of Hydro Ion Mineral Water, it seeps deep into the skin to repair damage and maintains an optimum moisture balance, while powerful extracts ‘burst’ upon contact with skin to supply immediate moisture for soft and supple skin.

Continuously filling skin with clear light, it ensures skin is even-toned and free from blemishes.
