Here are $240+ worth of products to bag home by paying just $67+:

FULL SIZE

A’pieu Honey & Milk Lip Oil

First up, we have this lip oil which is more than just a pretty gloss.

Its densely adhering formula ensures moisture that lingers, quenching parched lips with honey and milk protein extracts.

As the oil glides on, your lips will be enveloped in a soft milk scent that uplifts the senses. But this lip product isn’t just a treat for the nose; its non-sticky formula offers a lightweight feel that is comfortable enough to wear all day long.

From the first swipe to the final sheen, this lip oil delivers lasting hydration and soothing nourishment as we swing into the last quarter of 2024.

UNOVE Silk Oil Essence 70ml #Tender Bloom

Indulge your strands in the nourishment of UNOVE’s Silk Oil Essence.

This hair treatment infuses locks with botanical oils and silk proteins to repair damage and enhance shine.

Proteins and amino acids help smooth the hair cuticle, eliminating frizz and sealing in softness.

Meanwhile, plant oils like olive, macadamia, argan, sunflower, and camellia penetrate the hair shaft, locking in moisture to strengthen and revive thirsty strands.

A few drops of this bloom-scented essence is all it takes to transform lifeless locks into lustrous-looking hair.

Haruharu wonder Black Rice Bakuchiol Eye Cream 20ml

Powered by fermented black rice and bamboo extract, this eye cream is an antioxidant force that banishes dark circles and fine lines.

But the real deal is bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinol alternative that smoothes crow’s feet without irritation.

Unlike some anti-aging creams, this milky formula melts into delicate eye areas so you look fresh, not greasy.

With continued use, the brightening and firming effects create a wide-awake gaze.

Don’t let tired, puffy eyes age you before your time.

Give it a try!

Arencia Fresh Green Cleanser 120g

Is your skin in dire need of a reboot?

Arencia’s fresh green cleanser can help.

This dual-action powerhouse pulls double duty as both a cleanser and a clay mask, giving skin a one-two punch (in a good way).

Clogged pores and dull complexions meet their match as the fresh green cleanser gets rid of blackheads and sebaceous filaments while clearing up skin bumps.

Powered by nature’s best like green tea extract and rice water + powder, this blend has been clinically tested to improve key skincare factors.

Simply massage it onto damp skin, let it work its magic for a minute, then rinse it off for a baby-soft skin canvas.

COSRX The Retinol 0.1 Cream

This retinol cream from COSRX blends high-efficiency ingredients to solve skin problems and delivers them safely to the skin.

Whether you’re a lady who can’t stop uncaking on makeup (it gets stuck in fine lines) or a gentleman wanting to smooth over sagging skin, loss of elasticity, noticeable pores, and dryness, this is your answer.

Pure retinol and vitamin E join forces with hyaluronic acid to tighten wrinkles and build back elasticity.

Just a dab of this eye cream before bedtime is all you need to firm and plump skin while you sleep.

No more invasive fillers needed for needle fearers.

KAJA Gloss Shot

Talk about staying power: KAJA’s Gloss Shot lip gloss delivers a 24-hour glossy pearl luster that lasts through whatever your day brings.

Its formula prevents that tight, sticky feeling you hate.

Jojoba Seed Oil, Squalane, and Rosa Canina Fruit Oil form a blend that deeply moisturizes and strengthens the delicate lip skin.

Lips stay soft and smooth for the long haul.

A makeup bag must-have for hydration lovers who crave that all-day glossy look.

Colorgram Tintin Dory Eyeshadow Palette

The colorgram Tintin Dory Eyeshadow Palette is for anyone who dares to get playful with color.

Packed with four highly pigmented shades in vivid hues and multiple finishes, this compact palette is your ticket to eye-catching eye looks.

Take your pick between earthy neutrals, peachy tones, or cool pinks—or really let your wild side roam free with the all-glitter version.

Whatever you fancy, these long-wearing, no-creasing formulas keep your eyeshadow in place.

Plus, the sleek size slips easily into any bag, so you can amp up the drama whenever (and wherever) you want.

Colorgram’s bold shades command attention so the only limit is your imagination.

WAKEMAKE Sheer Layering Dual Blusher

Blush is more than just a rosy flush; it’s an expression, a mood-making finishing touch.

That’s why this sheer layering dual blusher from WAKEMAKE is a true palette for the face.

Sweep on a sheer watercolor veil of color, or build up the intensity with layers for a bolder pop.

And thanks to the reflective powder blend, each layer catches light for a subtle radiance.

Whether you prefer a just-pinched glow or want to turn up the wattage, their five shades can take you there.

Use the free brush provided for flawless application.
