Singapore's Favorite Korean Cosmetic Brands & Their Worthy Mentions (Part I)

안녕하세요 once again, dear readers!


Today we are going to be sharing part 1 on some insight on Korean cosmetic shops that you are able to find in Singapore stores - and highlighting some must-try products from them!


Beauty-lovers will definitely not want to miss out on this! ;)


  1. The Face Shop

Pricing Range: $$


The first noticeable Korean cosmetic store that popped out in Singapore - this brand has been going strong with popular items like their colorful & affordable range of nail polish shades that are so pretty!


However what we really love about The Face Shop are their masks! Economical and they really work. What we feel every girl needs to have is the Real Nature Mask Sheet range!


Each of them cater to different ‘occasions’! Lately when the weather was getting mighty hazy and dry, we loved to slap on the Green Tea or Chia Seed one. For special occasions, the Blueberry one is a must! It really helps smoothen the skin surface and slows down the skin’s oxidation rate, this way makeup stays fresh for longer!

  1. Missha

Price Range: $$


Another of Korean cosmetics’ pioneer brands to enter Singapore, Missha disappeared for a while and has now made a strong comeback.


And we were ecstatic over the news! Missha’s very worthy mention is this BB Cream right here…


The M Perfect Cover BB Cream!

This product has to be used sparingly - so less is more here! It provides a good medium coverage and does not oxidise so quickly as well.


By far one of the best Korean BB Creams in the market! ;)

  1. Etude House

Price Range: $$


Known as the brightest store - mainly because their stores are perpetually glaringly bright and flushed in light pink. All part of their young & fresh image!


What we really love from Etude House is their range of Fresh Cherry Lip Tint.

After applying some product on your lips, you’ll find that the color has worked its way under your lips and looks almost too natural! Totally looks like you’ve been blessed with nicely-colored kissers. ;) And it lasts for long hours as well. Color us impressed!

  1. Innisfree



Price Range: $$


One of the newer entries into Singapore - Innisfree has easily made itself one of the favorite Korean cosmetic brands in town. With their fresh shop ambience and rave-worthy products, it is no wonder.


However if we had to pick just one product to love, it’ll definitely be their Volcanic Pore Clay Mask!




We were simply amazed at how wonderfully this product worked. The only slight qualm we might have is it isn’t the easiest product to apply - unlike your usual liquid masks, this one requires a good few minutes to apply properly.


However we can assure you that it is entirely worth it! After 15 minutes of having this miracle-worker on your skin, you will see why!

  1. Too Cool For School




Price Range: $$


This brand does not look like your typical ‘girly’ Korean cosmetic brand - but this is precisely what people love about it. It has a whole quirky and cool look to it, which makes its name ‘Too Cool For School’ seem so apt.


While this brand has quite a number of hot products, the one we love best is the Egg Mousse Pack & Soap!


For silky smooth and clear skin - these products are definitely the way to go!


The best part about this is that it works for all parts of the body. So you can look fresh and stunning from any angle. Think of it much like deep cleansing mask for your entire body!

Stay Fit In Style (Part 1)


From traditional aerobics such as Zumba and Kickboxing to new fitness programmes such as Cx worx and Piloxing, an increasing number of women are hitting the gyms. And what a great excuse it creates for you to buy more clothes – sports apparel that is. In part 1 of our fitness style report, we present the latest sportswear for two different sports that combines both fashion and comfort to ensure you don’t just feel good after a workout, you look good too. And remember, see you next week for another fashion insight into practical, fashionable clothing for three other sports!

“Skateboard enthusiasts are very particular about their shoes. They need to be comfortable and durable. In addition, we cannot neglect the importance of knee-high socks; they protect our feet and legs from injuries. Skateboarding is a sport that is sensitive to trends in fashion and accessories such as caps and waist pouches. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of fashion brands that cater to skateboarders and this allows us to have more options in choosing what to wear.” – Lee Ji Na, Vans Skateboard Pro Team

Mulawear Top 43,000 won. Rockwear Leggings, 169,000 won. Toe socks price unavailable. Easy Yoga Yoga Mat, 118,000 won.

“Pilates often require you to stand straight with legs aligned to your shoulders. Tight leggings are therefore ideal as they show the shape of the legs well. It is good for beginners to wear ¾ leggings to enable us to check the difference in the shape of the calf muscles required of each pose. Elasticity of the pants is also important. Pilates involves using different equipment and so we have to be careful of losing balance and falling and hurting ourselves. Recently, for safety purposes, sports stores have started selling this item called ‘toe-sock’. Not only does it possess non-slip properties, it provides the toes with a good grip, reducing the amount of strength required.” - Jang Jin Ju, Instructor at J& Pilates
