New Kbeauty Reviews on STYLE STORY

5 Star for Jelly Ko Dewy Glaze Toner

"I CAN'T STOP USING THIS!
I am shook. And SO EXCITED to see what else Jelly Ko will bring out. Because no joke the steam cream is my favourite moisturiser, and now this toner is my favourite. Texture is like a thick watery gel. Smell is YUMMY like lollies but not sickening. Absorbs in amazing. Layers well. And also is the only product I can use on the sensitive skin of my chest/decolletage that doesn't give me red bumps."

5 Star Review for Missha BB Cream 

"BEST BB cream I've used
I don't usually leave reviews, but I absolutely had to for this BB cream. I've heard Lauren talk about it on her podcast and was really keen to try it out for myself. I've got shade 21 and it's just perfect for everyday wear. It blends so easily and looks like my own skin but better. 
I'd say it's light to medium coverage and gives my skin a really lovely glow. I do find it goes on a little bit shiny (and I've got an oily t-zone), so I set it with the Innisfree No Sebum Powderand that works really well for me. And best of all, I don't feel like I'm wearing anything, but I feel confident that my skin looks really healthy and even-toned. Absolutely love this cream and I will definitely repurchase.
Special thanks to Lauren for helping me choose which shade to buy - she was spot on, shade 21 is perfect for me! :)"

Recommendation of the Week - Korean Baby Carrier

  • This week's recommendation is for the Mums - the Pognae is a Korean baby carrier with a really unique 3-in-1 design featuring a baby carrier, a hip seat, and a hipseat and carrier. 
  • Pognae was founded in 2005 and all their processes are 100% made in South Korea through rigid quality management.
  • Pognae is the top seller in South Korea's department stores and duty-free shops.
  • It's one multiple awards in Japan, France and Korea and is so comfortable and easy to use. 
  • It great from birth til about 2-3 years old and is the perfect gift for a new mum or mum-to-be.
