Korean and Japanese Beauty retailer YesStyle has put together their curation of the Top 10 Must-Try Korean Beauty products for 2016, featuring the bestselling products on their website. I am a regular @YesStyle customer and have reviewed one of their beauty sample boxes here.
A word about YesStyle - they are Hong Kong-based, ship worldwide tracked free for orders above US$35, and offer free samples with every purchase. 
YesStyle's Top 10 Must-Try K-Beauty set comes in the same cute packaging as their sampler boxes. The #YesStyleTop10 are a nice mix of makeup and skincare, and include famous K-Beauty brands such as Etude House, Tony Moly and Laneige.

Beauty Products Emptied in January 2016

Beauty Products Emptied in January 2016

Tony Moly Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, February 03, 2016

For once, there is a makeup product among my empties. There is, as usual, much more skincare, but a lot of it was used in December rather than January. I am taking things slowly because of the staph outbreak and only use prescription products now but have been purging the harsher products from my cabinets and - hurrah - buying new skincare after careful examination of INCI lists and consultation with my derm. Will show you my haul posts once everything gets here.

Scroll down to check out the beauty products I emptied in January 2016 and my thoughts on each.

Tony Moly Angel Glow Ring Hair Mask review

Tony Moly Angel Glow Ring Hair Mask review

Tony Moly Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, April 02, 2015

  A concentrated nourishing treatment mask for the hair.

For some 12-15 years, I washed my short hair every day, with a sulphate-shampoo and never conditioned. I sported a Princess-Di haircut from childhood until my Masters' degree, and never bothered to oil or treat my hair and only began caring for it about two years ago. Obviously, the decades of neglect told on my hair, which is now dry, damaged, brittle and incredibly frizzy. Plus, I want to grow it for as long as I can. What I do now is, wash it two times a week with a mild sulphate-free shampoo, condition, air-dry and use a de-frizzing serum. Once a week, I apply a deep-conditioning pack.
The Tony Moly Angel Glow Ring Hair Mask (PR sample) is a very affordable, two-step concentrated nourishing treatment for damaged hair. It costs just $5.33 on Jolse.com, who ship worldwide (usually free, though tracking costs $2.50). The product has a funny name, but promises bouncier and smoother locks, which I've always coveted. Best of all, once you apply it to the hair, it is not going to transfer to the head-rest, chair or the pillow, as you will see below.

Read on for my review of the Tony Moly Angel Glow Ring Hair Mask.

Unboxing Cosmetopia Digest   Friday, May 09, 2014

Throughout this week, a massive depression in the Arabian Sea has led to copious rainfall, accompanied by strong winds, thunder and lightning, and we have not seen sunlight in days. Even train services were halted and several trees have fallen, not to mention flooding on the roads. I have taken most of the photographs in this post outdoors at noon so you can see the lack of sunlight.
I had asked people on Facebook and Twitter if they wanted to see the Tony Moly box first, or the Oily/Troubled Skin box, and the majority voted in favour of Tony Moly, so here is the unboxing.
A Korean beauty box that ships to many countries (sign the petition here to get them to ship everywhere like they used to), Memebox often releases brand-only boxes. Do check out their website for various boxes and prices. The Banila Co. box was a disaster, so I had the heebie-jeebies about the Tony Moly one, despite the latter being one of the biggest Korean brands.

Here is my unboxing and review of the Tony Moly Superbox #9 from Memebox.

Tony Moly Cosmetopia Digest   Sunday, December 01, 2013

I found some must-have beauty and skin care products in November 2013, and some rather meh ones. Unfortunately two "empties" I used up while travelling are missing thanks to some haphazard unpacking after my break - Shiseido SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion, which I now love, and Est-Lab. Sunshield sample from my September Glamabox. Ah well. I'll write about those when I find them.

Here are the beauty products I used up in November 2013 and my thoughts on each:
