KOREAN BEAUTY SECRETS: A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO CUTTING-EDGE SKINCARE AND MAKEUP

KBSTBW
It’s officially official, we wrote a book! Like an actual one, that you can hold, and buy, and that would look so incredibly cute on your coffee table.

I’m going to take the words from my co-author and soul sister Kerry (Skin & Tonics), and let her give you her take on it before I put in my two cents 😀

We set out to create a book that would be useful, interesting, and fun for complete newcomers to K-beauty as well as the more experienced, and I wholeheartedly believe we accomplished that task. It has everything you need to know to assemble a Korean style skincare routine, including :
• Detailed information on each skincare product categories
• How to assess and address your skincare needs
• Tips for determining layering order
• Shopping and ingredient cheat sheets organized by skin concern
• Ingredient definitions
• Detailed example skincare routines by several of our favorite bloggers
• Nearly 250 English-Korean ingredient translationsIt also features:• An amazingly thorough makeup section that provides detailed descriptions of all the different makeup categories
• Guides to achieving some truly beautiful Korean-inspired makeup looks.
• A lot of gorgeous photography

One area where Coco and I were particularly fortunate is that we were given full control over the book’s content and design. Being given design control is not typical in the traditional publishing industry, so this was a really big deal for us! Coco art directed the photoshoots, and I handled the layout and information design. We both developed the cover design. The finished product is a beautiful, glossy, full-color, hardcover. If you don’t want to wait for November to order it, you canpre-order it on Amazon and receive it the day it’s released (November 3, 2015).

I’m so excited to introduce you guys to this book. It’s coming out in Nov, but like Kerry said above, it’s available on Amazon right now for preorder, which you can also access via the link on the sidebar of the homepage. I’m so proud of everything and I’d like to give a special shoutout to the stellar team we put together to bring you this baby. Truly, it was a labor of love, and I think you might love it just as much as we do.And like I said, it’s going to set your coffee table off so very nice 😉

The Beauty Wolf X Club Clio Summerproof Makeup

Are you melting? Your makeup doesn’t have to!
I’ve curated some of my very favourite, tried and true items from Club Clio USA, that will keep you fresh throughout the entire summer and beyond. I’ve rigorously tested these items (hello hot yoga class) and I adore them all. Another bonus to this selection of products is they are all self contained little wonders of beauty that require no brushes or additional tools to create a stunning, waterproof, lifeproof look that will serve you well on the beach or just out with friends on the town.

Clio Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow: Brows are everything right now, so why not showcase them with a product that’s as tough as it is beautiful. Clio Tinted Tattoo Kill Brow is a two in one tint and browcara that both fills and grooms your brows. Unlike some other brow stains and browcaras, Tinted Tattoo Brow Kill gives an extremely natural, soft look, all in one handy tube. I’ve chosen a versatile shade that could work with just about any hair colour, so chances are, this will work beautifully for you!

Clio Gelpresso Waterproof Pencil Shadow: These eyeshadow sticks are the handiest, easiest, most foolproof way to get gorgeous eyes. The smooth gel pencil texture is easily blended with your fingers (no brush needed!) to create a shimmering masterpiece. Once set, they don’t budge!  Beer Pong is an incredibly versatile shade. It can be used as a browbone highlight, base color, teardrop highlight or to highlight the “aegyo-sal” under the eyes. Hold Me Tight is a stunning pinky-orange with gold shimmer that makes your eyes look like a pond reflecting a sunset. Combine both shades for a fresh summer twist on the smoky eye.

Peripera Peri’s Tint Marker: This sweet product doesn’t get enough attention in my opinion and I’m so happy to be able to share it with you all! It’s everything you need for a tinted lip that lasts, in one adorable package. I also love the sweet pink shade I’ve selected, as I’ve used it on many different skintones and it’s been pretty universally flattering. The pink gives you that “my lips but cuter” look that works for both day and night. Another thing I love is it’s precise application tip, which completely does away with the need for a lipliner!

Peripera Soft Touch Waterproof Lip & Eye Remover Tissue: With all of these amazing waterproof products, I can’t leave you hangin’ in the remover department! Whip out one of these soft babies to make short work of removing both lip and eye makeup. Very handy to keep in your bag, because you never know where this summer is going to take you!

WHAT THE BEAUTY BLOGGERS USE: FEATURING CHARLOTTE CHO OF SOKOGLAM

We write, we curate, we cull the herd, we try it all, we pare it down, we’re always searching for the standout stars. Do you ever wonders what the bloggers themselves are using? I’ve rounded up my favourite ladies in the game and asked them about their personal line-ups and thoughts on skincare!
CharlotteCho
Today I’m featuring Charlotte Cho, the brains (and absolute beauty!) behind Soko Glam. The write up on Soko Glam says it all:
Soko Glam is dedicated to discovering Korean cosmetics & beauty trends. With our thoughtfully curated selection from the most innovative and trusted brands, we invite you to explore Korea’s best in beauty.”

I’m a huge fan of Charlotte, she’s been featured in several well known publications and curates the Soko Glam online boutique. With her flawless skin and classic beauty, you can’t look at her without thinking “Giiiirl, what are you using? Because I want to look like that.”

I started by asking what she uses in her morning routine. She let us know that recently it consists of:

charlotteAM
Shingmulnara: Ultra Light Sun Gel SPF 30 PA++ (this was featured in the Get K-Beauty Box)
I then asked her to let us in on what she uses for her nighttime routine. She let me know that the evening is the time when she tests new products so it’s ever changing (I think this is the case with most of us beauty bloggers!) Currently she’s using:
charlottePM
Skinfood Lemon Brightening Cleansing Oil
Su:m37 Rose Cleansing Stick
Missha Super Aqua Hydrating Toner
Benton Aloe Propolis Soothing Gel
Banila Co Brightening It Radiant Cream
Su:m37 Water-full Cream

I also wanted to pick her brain and find out what her favourite beauty products are right now. Charlotte always looks so put together and cute, so I was especially interested in these answers!
charlotteproducts
Charlotte says:

IOPE water fit lipstick, because Jeonjihyun is my spirit animal (and it’s super moisturizing).
Clio Waterproof Pen Liner – I never liked liquid eyeliner until I used this one. It’s a game-changer!
Tony Moly Petite Bunny Lip gloss for cuteness and a sheer tint!
The secret to the glow-y dewy face without looking too shiny? A good sheer highlighter makes my face glow (in a matte) type of way?

I then wanted to know if she had any other beauty recommendations, any tools or anything that didn’t quite fall into the skincare of makeup category.
Charlotte says:

“I have a lot of annoying baby hairs so this bow hair pad is everything!”
http://sokoglam.com/collections/hair-body/products/lioele-pink-hair-pad
(The Beauty Wolf says: I know that pain all too well, baby hair club unite. Those little things are super useful when you’re doing masks or your routine!)

The one thing I’m always curious about is how people get into the game. Whenever I get a chance, I love to find out more about these self starters who’ve gone onto success. It’s one thing to toy around with the idea, and a whole other to try to make it happen. So I asked, what was the catalyst that propelled her from just daydreaming about it to actually doing it?

Charlotte says:
My husband Dave and I loved living in Korea and we have always been very passionate about the people and the culture. It was the perfect opportunity to share with the rest of the world one of the things Korea does best – skincare and cosmetics! It really wasn’t easy leaving stable careers and taking this leap into entrepreneurship, but I’m so glad we did.
Finally, I asked her what she thought the future held for her, and what her thoughts were on what she’s doing now:

Charlotte says:
I want to keep doing what I am passionate about: testing and curating Korean beauty products and making the discovery process enjoyable for others! 
In the past year, I started receiving emails from people who have experienced positive results after trying out my 10-step Korean skincare routine. Knowing I made an impact on someone’s confidence and skin has been incredibly rewarding which made me decide to go back to school to become a certified esthetician! I’m not sure what the future holds for me, but I’m truly grateful to be part of this journey and happy about where I am now.

So there you have it folks, a peek behind the curtain at one of the best out there. Thank you so much Charlotte for participating, it was a pleasure!

3 CONCEPT EYES FACE GLOW REVIEW

3concepteyesfaceglow

Well, I might as well complete the 3 Concept Eyes highlighter trifecta with today’s review (insert Legend of Zelda triforce joke here).

3 Concept Eyes Face Glow is a liquid “volumer” type product that was first made really popular with the Etude House Nymph Aura Volumer. I’ve talked a bit about volumers here before but I’ll go ahead and give a quick refresher course if you’re not familiar with them. A volumer is a product that’s usually about the consistency of a foundation.You can wear it alone as a highlighter or mix it with your bb cream or foundation to give you that dewy glow that’s so popular in Korea. It’s actually popular here as well, I just don’t see it on the street as often as I see it being used very obviously in film and television. Volumers are usually offered in a couple of different shades, like here with 3 Concept Eyes they have three different colours. There’s Bondi Beach the golden colour, Monaco the golden pink hue that I have for this review, and Santorini the pearlescent white shade.
3concepteyesfaceslowswatch1This comes in a convenient airless pump that dispenses just the right amount of product with each squirt. The product itself goes on smoothly and is about the consistency of a lotion. It spreads about as easily as one as well.
3concepteyesfaceglowswatch

I have to say I like this product much better when used as a highlighter than mixed with bb cream. I find that it loses a lot of it’s sheen when mixed. As you can see here in the swatch it does have a descent amount of shimmer. As a highlighter it’s pretty, but yet again, not quite strong enough for me. Of the two other 3 Concept Eyes highlighting products I’ve reviewed, this one is most certainly the strongest and therefore the best in my opinion. Now, keep in mind my standards are very high when it comes to highlighters. This may well be perfect for those that don’t chase the shimmer dragon like I do. But for me, this is a mid level performer. However, I must say, the colour selection for this line is gorgeous! If only Monaco were a bit stronger, this would be a must have. Still, not a bad product to have on hand. You could get some nice looks out of this. I’m going to give this product 3.5 out of 5 sparkle turtles.
turtle-fullturtle-fullturtle-fullturtle-halfIf you’re curious about this product I see that Urban Outfitters is now carrying it online in the USA so you can avoid all the insane shipping fees from the Style Nanda website 🙂

I’ve also found it on Ebay
