I would love to try some new Korean brands, I know the most popular ones like Isntree, Cosrx, Purito and so on, but I am sure that there are some hidden gems out there. 

What would you recommend? Thank you so so much ❤️

Favourite K brands?

We always talk about the products that we love, but I am super curious which products or brands would you avoid. I know it is a personal preference, but some products, if they are bad, they seem to work bad on most people ☺️

Thank you so much 🤗

Worst products

I have been struggling with genetic dark circles since forever and even though my skin looks better, I still look super tired without makeup. I have been trying caffeine solution, but this worked only for plumping my skin, but not reducing the darkness itself.

So I started wondering if fillers are the right option for me? I would also do some lips fillers, but as the eye area is a more sensitive one I want to see if anyone around here had this procedure done? Or if you have any other noninvasive miracle products that I don’t know of? 
 
Thank you so much ❤️
