Spring is soooo close, and we’re ready to come out of hibernation swinging! Or, rather, glowing and hydrated, and with a delicate rosy flush, plus softer, longer curls, too. That’s right, we want it ALL this season and these are the beauty finds that are stepping up to deliver. To kick things off, we have a first-ever shared pick of not just one, but three products – which is a big clue that something is extra good. Already a must-have category in K-beauty, read on to hear all about the toner pad collection we’re obsessed with. Whether your skin is in need of a brightening boost, a gentle declog or some soothing repair work, our collective opinion is that this skincare addition is worth the very minimal time and effort to enter spring looking and feeling renewed. All that and more awaits in our latest batch of faves. We hope you enjoy them all!
These paper-thin juicy toner pads are the key to waking up my tired skin. I love using the PDRN-infused ones after a night of retinol to help curb any redness or dry patches, but honestly all of them have a v special place in my routine these days! - EM
From the brightening Vitamin C mix to the exfoliating acid blend, and the soothing PDRN+, there isn’t a juice in this lineup that my skin didn’t love to drink up. The ultra-thin, generously-sized patches really stay put, and I like to mix and match with different pads across my face for a custom treatment.

On a mission to gain inches,
I’m putting extra time & consistency into caring for my curls and it all starts with this prep step. While many a previous detangler has left my strands feeling rough and parched, this ultra-creamy mix of olive, avocado, and jojoba seed oils, plus murumuru and mango seed butters, delivers incredible nourishment while keeping split ends, breakage and sneaky knots (a persistent foe) at bay. Long game,
here I come!
This blush hits the sweet spot
between pigment and blendability. The featherlight formula starts off as a silky liquid then diffuses into a soft-focus, natural-matte veil that looks like your flush, but better. I adore how lovely it layers so you can build up the colour to be as demure or punchy as you’re feeling that day and it has true staying power. As a card-holding member of the Too Much Blush Club, we’ve got another MVP!
Where my '90s babies at?
Inspired by CHANEL’s iconic Vamp nail colour that rocked the beauty world in 1994, I legit gasped when I laid eyes on this recently released deep blackberry polish. She is, and has always been, that girl! I fear the hue is already sold out online, but if you can snag a bottle I promise it will add a potent je ne sais quoi to even the most mundane task your little hands must perform.
Plush, thick and comforting
are the three key words I’d use to describe this barrier-loving balm. It has a cushion-like softness to it that my skin just laps up, especially during this arduous, neverending winter season. Its blend of ceramides, squalane, shea butter and cholesterol feels deeply reparative and cocoons my reactive skin with lasting moisture while the sanitary click top applicator is surprisingly fun to use.
