Korean culture has definitely been making quite an appearance lately in recent trends with their television series, music industry, and of course, their good-looking celebrities, dominating audiences of different ages all over the world. The Korean beauty scene is not one to be excluded from recent attention as well, with their various products turning heads on the unconventional ingredients and unique packaging. K-beauty is considered to be a pioneer within the beauty world, coming up with strange yet innovative makeup and skincare products. Not only does K-beauty work to deliver the best results, they also turn makeup and skincare into a fun and enjoyable experience! Here are five strange, yet successful K-beauty products you should certainly try out!

Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubbly Clay Mask
At first glance, it might seem like a typical clay mask: one that cleanses, exfoliates, and unclogs pores. However, this mask stands out from the rest in one way: it bubbles up. This quirky carbonated mask bubbles up as it sloughs off dead skin cells and lifts pore-clogging dirt and sebum. This mask not only gives way to a softer, clearer face, but also some nice photo opportunities with your bubbly appearance.

My Lip Tint Pack
A huge hit among Youtubers and bloggers, this lip product became extremely popular for the unconventional method to a long-lasting lip tint. The product is a sticky substance that you have to smear across your lips, which dries over time. After five to ten minutes, it’s peeled off, leaving you with colorful lips that’ll last you the whole day!

Etude House Tint My Brows
This is also a hit among Youtubers, with its simple process that delivers flawless brows that lasts for days. Apply the substance in the desired shape of your brows and wait for at least two hours and peel. This product is an easy hack for anyone who regularly fills in their brows because all they have to do is sleep overnight with this and peel it off the morning after.

My Little Pet Eye Patch
These hydrogel patches aim to brighten and refresh your dark under-eye bags with ingredients like green tea and sunflower seed extract. To use this product, you leave the patches underneath your eyes for 30 minutes so the extract can be properly absorbed into the skin.

Fresh Gore Sleeping Pack
This product is your typical overnight moisturizer with a twist; it comes out looking like blood. Inspired by the pale beauty of vampires, this pack works to brighten and deeply moisturize your face overnight. Apply it one hour before you sleep and you’ll wake up with beautiful moisturized skin.
No matter how strange some products might seem at first, K-beauty is definitely a lifestyle that you should explore! You might just be surprised at how amazingly successful it is.
