    ​32 Korean Beauty Gifts You'll Probably Want To Buy For Yourself Too

    Dewy skin and fresh makeup, here's to you!

    Hey! While we try to keep our posts updated as much as we can, this post is actually from 2017, so we can't guarantee that the pricing and/or availability of the products featured are accurate. For our most up-to-date recommendations, check out the 2018 version of this post!

    1. An adorable Belif Winter Waterdrop Kit, a travel-friendly set of super hydrating products that'll leave the driest and tightest feeling skin feeling soft to the touch.

    The set includes:

    Creamy Cleansing Foam Moist

    Hungarian Water Essence

    The True Cream Aqua Bomb

    Moisturizing Eye Bomb

    Aqua Bomb Sleeping Mask

    Promising review: "I’ve been interested in Belif products for a long time now, and I’m so happy I invested in this kit! My skin looks and feels better than ever. I normally don’t try new things since my skin is so sensitive to breakouts/allergic reactions, but these didn’t cause me any problems. Surprised by the cleanser — it feels nice and doesn’t strip the skin. And the Aqua Bomb, combined with the serum, is gold — the serum adds an extra hydrating boost while drying down weightlessly. Although I’m not seeing immediate changes with the eye cream, it’s a nice way to hydrate around and under the eyes. This kit is an excellent way to try their products, and I will be buying full sizes of some." —jazzyj25

    2. A literal rainbow of I Dew Care sheet masks so you can douse your face in essence and treatments for calming down stressed-out skin, tightening pores, and increasing luminosity.

    3. Clear hydrocolloid patches for gracefully handling and deflating any impending acne apocalypses!

    4. A subscription box with sheet-mask-only and general assortment options if you'd rather have your K-beauty fix delivered as a surprise.

    5. A watermelon sleeping mask infused with AHAs, hyaluronic acid, and peony rose that might just be the most delicious-smelling and bounciest moisturizer anyone. Ever. Encounters. In. Their. Lifetime.

    6. A carry-on friendly cleansing stick (yay, solids!) that uses 13 natural oils to break down makeup and ~real~ green tea leaves to gently exfoliate your skin.

    7. Unique two-toned lipsticks for a sexy but subtle satin-finish gradient lewk in just two swipes — be prepared to be called a ~trendsetter~.

    8. A set of hydrating essentials packed with six mini products that keep your skin plump and energized — the ultimate luxury skincare trials, shall we say.

    9. A tiger grass color correcting treatment (with SPF 30!) and cream that are holy grail products for people who deal with constant redness, acne flares, and uneven skin tone.

    10. A ~killer~ felt tip liquid eyeliner for possibly the most precise wing of one's life — it dries down to a matte finish almost straight away and its waterproof formula stays put all freaking day.

    11. A silky primer your pores legitimately have nightmares about — it glides over pores and instantly makes them vanish (because, quite frankly, they never stood a chance).

    12. A customizable lip palette that truly stuns from all angles — hello, beautiful metallic packaging and 10 pigmented, creamy, and layerable shades.

    13. A darling customizable cushion compact with one of the widest shade ranges from a K-beauty brand to date — yay for natural-looking coverage, easy touch-ups, and velvety smooth skin all day long!

    21. An apple water and spearmint infused lip oil to hydrate, soothe, and gently exfoliate dry, cracked lips in need of some serious TLC.

    22. A Soko Glam Slumber Party Skincare Set to arm them with everything they need to pamper their skin and have a relaxing night in — all they need to do is add Netflix.

    23. Double-ended metallic and glitter eyeshadows for a dazzling holiday party look everyone will "ooh-ahh" over.

    24. A pumpkin set that brings only the most egg-cellent puns to your skincare routine, plus all the usual gentle, hydrating, and firming ingredients that your skin will drink up...like eggnog.

    25. A newbie-friendly K-beauty routine kit especially perfect for those with oily/combination skin, thanks to its running green tea theme.

    26. A anti-inflammatory, clarifying, and brightening peeling gel that is equal parts disgusting and satisfying to use — hello, dead skin that rolls right off your face in little balls!

    27. A nourishing annatto-based hair oil that is basically liquid gold for your hair — it soothes and smoothes down your hair so it feels silky soft, unfrazzled (read: tamed split ends), and sleek.

    28. Colorful TPSY lip markers reminiscent of highlighters...without the stressful late-night studying flashbacks — instead, you're just left with a weightless, picture-perfect pout.

    You're looking fabulous as always, yes you are.
