Perhaps youve heard of the glass skin K-beauty trend?
One brand associated with this trend is Mixsoon.

As a vegan myself, I adore this brand and keep my cabinets well stocked.
I use it twice weekly as an exfoliator and daily as a hydrating essence to create a flawless base.

Mixsoon Bean Eye Cream
Bear with me as I wax lyrical about one more Mixsoon product.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ticks all these boxes.
The thick texture glides on easily and melts into a not-too-gooey balm.

Its also got a great backstory.
The K-beauty brand Skin Food brings these ancient principles to a modern audience with its food-inspired products.
From an egg white cleanser to broccoli-infused face masks, Skin Food dishes up a skincare feast.

My favorite of the delectable products is the Black Sugar Mask.
But when it comes to BB creams, not all are created equal.
