You may have heard of the glass skin trend in K-beauty, which describes skin as smooth and translucent as, you guessed it, glass. It has been a buzzword for some time, but in Korea there's something even bigger. Honey skin is glass skin's more popular sister, but the trend has nothing to do with putting honey on your skin. The goal is to get your skin to look like honey. If you look closely, honey does look shiny and smooth and that's exactly what we want our skin to look like.

(You read that right; we said "an entire grand.")

Have you ever tried IT Cosmetics? If you haven't, you absolutely should. IT, (short for Innovative Technology) Cosmetics started back in 2008. It was the brainchild of CEO Jamie Kern Lima and her husband. The duo worked with a team of dermatologists to develop the brand, which blurs the line between makeup and skin care and addresses a number of common skin concerns. Sales began to take off after a spot on QVC and now the brand can be found in Ulta and Sephora — the brand's CC cream can be found under foundation best sellers on both sites.
