Although beauty trends tend to leave as soon as they come, one trend that hasn't stopped for months is that of Korean beauty products. They have gotten so popular that American stores like Forever21 and Urban Outfitters have started selling them. From moisturizing face masks to cute lip tints, Korean brands have started to take over! There are so many items that it seems impossible to start, but it's never too late! Here are seven Korean beauty products that you need to add to your collection RIGHT NOW.

1. Aloe Soothing Gel

We're getting SO close to summer time and if you like going out to the beach, then you have to stock up on this Aloe Gel from the Nature Republic. Made from 99 percent aloe leaf extract, this gel will get rid of any sunburn, fast. This product has saved me from days of pain with its moisturizing and healing properties. Just apply it to your skin and feel the cooling sensation as you just enjoy the summer breeze. You can get this from Nature Republic for $12.

2. Black Sugar Scrub

Don't worry. The scrub isn't as scary as it looks. This black sugar scrub from Skin Food is made fully from organic materials like black sugar, refined rice wine, and botanical oils. The little sugar crystals inside help to exfoliate your skin to smooth the surface and keep it nourished for the sun.

3. FACE it BB cream

Of course, we can't talk about Korean beauty products without talking about BB cream. Before last year, it was practically impossible for me to find BB cream that matched my needs. I need hardcore. I need waterproof, sweatproof, and life proof. This BB cream completely changed my life. It's completely waterproof and even comes prepared with SPF 30 so that you don't need to feel oily with sunblock. There are other great BB cream products but this one is from The Face Shop.

4. Peripera My Cushion Blusher

This tinted cream blush not only has the cutest packaging but will give you the rosiest cheeks. Since this blush is cream rather than powder, it moisturizes your skin while giving it a pink color. The cushioned tip at the bottom allows for an easy application for on-the-go coverage. This one is available at Urban Outfitters now for $16.

5. Pure Water Facial Mist

When I first heard about facial mist, I have to admit I was a little weirded out. I went into the store skeptical but I left it a total believer. I have a weird skin issue where my skin is oily and dry at the same time, but The Pure Water Facial Mist from The Face Shop saved me. You just spritz some onto your face either at home or on the road to moisturize and revitalize the skin. The smell and the cooling sensation really helps to wake you up during the day as well.

6. Sheet Masks

Every Korean cosmetic store has their own brand of sheet masks and they're all amazing. My favorites are from Nature Republic but seriously, they're all great. They have choices for all skin types and problems. They have moisturizing, brightening, tightening, hydrating, and on and on and on. They also come in a variety of substances from the typical Aloe or Honey to Mung Bean or Bee Venom. I haven't tried the Bee Venom one but let me know how it goes. Sounds hardcore.

7. Clean Face Mild Toner + Moisturizer

Acne is something every teenager has to go through. Except that my acne followed me from high school into college and that really wasn't cool. I started to give up hope on getting rid of those pesky red spots on my face until I found this toner and moisturizer set. It contains tea tree oil which is amazing for oil-prone skin that tends to break out a LOT. Unlike a lot of other acne specific solutions, this doesn't dry out my face at all. I feel clean and smooth after using this.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
