K-Pop Cosmetics
Many of us believe in highly publicized and marketed western-manufactured cosmetic products, which are mostly designed for Caucasian skin. 20 years ago, they were the "Goddesses of Beauty", because they were the only manufacturers of well-known cosmetic products in Malaysia.
Recently, there's been a trend of cosmetic users switching from Western to Asian-based cosmetic products. The most popular ones are from Korea:
1. Skinfood
SkinFood. It has got many branches all over the world including UAE and the USA.
2. Dr Jart+
His brand of cosmetics is available in Sephora and Sa Sa. The best selling product in its range is the BB cream that provides instant results as below.

I also did achieve the same effect of the BB cream on the back of my hand ( as shown in pic), when they let me try it at the factory outlet, but I did not buy it.
Etude House
All these brands are far cheaper in Korea. I can assure you because I have been there and it is at least 25% cheaper at the factory outlets. I had my tour guide buying boxes of Etude House products for a girl, who has been to Korea once. She has tried the product for her severe acne, which did not resolve despite using various brands prior to that.
* We do not sell any of this products (yet). However I've personally used the Dr Jart+'s moisturising cream and liked it alot. It was light, less oily, and had more hydrating effect.
After experiencing the changes with the Moisturizing and BB cream, I have started to have more faith in Asian products for my skin. I got a few products from Skin Food, including the Rice Mask, and the Hand Cream but haven't used any of them yet. These products can last up to 2 years if they remain sealed.
