WHY ARE WE SO ADDICTED?

Through the magic that is social media, I was seeing more and more hype about Korean and Asian Beauty Products.   So before our last trip to NYC, I decided to do some research on products and then try to see what we could find in the Big Apple! Considering NYC has a lot more culture than what we have at home (we live in the Daytona Beach area of FL), we felt this was the perfect time to dive in. With the research before our trip, Lillie and I were both already hooked!   We both are suckers for fun at home spa treatments or anything that makes us feel good and look good.  So many products are out there with different and exotic ingredients (snail serum, bee venom, eggs, and more!), and let's not forget the adorable packaging!

While in NYC, between Chinatown and Koreatown, we visited A LOT (Poor guys with us, they were such troopers!) of Asian and Korean Specific Beauty stores. Some, we admit, we got looks for entering LOL. We actually went into one store (will not name) in Chinatown where they spoke no English and would not even consider us a customer! Their loss, oh well.  Other stores, their sales clerks were so friendly and eager to help us learn more about this industry and all of the products!!!   Many of these stores, I plan to share with you in upcoming articles, as you can order straight from them on their websites!!!  One in particular, I even ordered from just a couple weeks after we got back!

Have you ever noticed how dewy and young Korean Women all appear? They take superior care of their skin! Skin care in their culture is so important, that toddler facials are a real thing!  Believe it or not, many families have a family facialist they start seeing at a young age. Sunscreen is of utmost importance and falling asleep with your makeup on is a huge no-no! (Yah, thats a bad habit I need to break ASAP!) Their products tend to focus on natural ingredients and they stay away from the harsh chemicals many of our products tend to use so much of. They also tend to be extremely innovative and start the trends long before the major skin care and makeup companies catch on. Also ,you know how in many of our cities there is a coffee shop on every corner? Well, over there they have a beauty store on every corner! This also makes for a very competitive market and lower prices on many of their products! This makes it easier for them to stick to their 10-15 step beauty regimen!   Yep, you read that right!  That's OK, do not get to overwhelmed by that number!  That is one of our goals in creating this blog. We hope to not only help you navigate and explore this amazing industry, but we want to bring to you our favorite products that we hope to stay budget friendly too!
