I’ve tried many of the popular TikTok beauty products: Here are my favorites for sale during the Big Day.

There used to be a time when if you wanted Korean beauty products and you lived in the US, your best bet would be to shop through YesStyle or Stylevana. Now, Rom&nd is at Ulta and K-beauty products are on sale through Amazon Prime Day.

As a retail reporter in her fifth year covering Prime Day, someone who’s always trying out new skincare (and skincare technology), and someone whose algorithm is deeply locked into the latest Korean beauty releases, I feel uniquely qualified to call out some of the best deals on sale. And, with one of the biggest South Korean beauty stores now in the US, there are more products than ever available — which can make sorting out the duds from what works even more challenging.

This collection of deals mainly comes from my tried and true recommendations – products I’ve bought (and repurchased) with my own money. If you have acne-prone, oily/combination skin that can lean on the dehydrated side, this post is especially for you.

That said, it’s worth mentioning that there isn’t a miracle product for everyone, but I’ve chosen this list to include at least a few products that have universal appeal. Without further ado, here are seven of my favorite K beauty products on sale during Amazon Prime Day.

Best mascara ever

The best mascara I’ve ever used is under $10 right now, and I repurchased my fifth tube during this sale. I have it a lot straight lashes and oily eyelids, which isn’t exactly a recipe for success with most mascaras. This one, however, holds my curled lashes ALL DAY, with very little frizz. However, it takes a strong developer to pull it off (but I can guarantee that a small drop from this list will do the job).

A savior for chapped lips all the time

The thing about my lips is that they will be dry, no matter how much water I drink. I’ve tried many lip balms that did nothing, and many lip masks that were worn for hours before I woke up. CNP lip butter is the opposite, it provides a solid layer of moisture that lasts all night.

A texture dream moisture serum

I’ve tried my fair share of serums, but none have changed the texture of my skin like IUNIK Beta-Glucan. At $12.33, it is a stealing and the dream if your oily skin is dehydrated, but mostly about how it gets hydration. The bottle lasted me at least a few months of daily and nightly use.

Nina Park approved blush

If you follow any kind of beauty content online, there’s a chance you’ve come across the term “Nina Park makeup” in the last six months. A makeup code that works hard, stays on, but is still visible. The artist has used this Clio fade for his celebrity clients, and with its beautiful and soft glow from the middle of the color shift, it’s easy to see why.

The Goldilocks of gentle cleansing

When I say I want a gentle cleanser I mean I want something that won’t strip me. However, I still want it to actually clean my skin. This beplain cleaner does just that – I picked up the full and travel size during this Big Day sale.

A lightweight cleansing balm

If you’re a regular person like me and like to double cleanse (I want everything on my skin at the end of the day), this Dr. Althea is the way. I especially like the grinding cap, which means I won’t be dipping my dirty fingers into the ball every time I need to use it. Bonus points: it can remove Clio mascara.

Light in a bottle

This was a viral product that got me really excited – I saw, like, two people using it, and suddenly it was in my cart. Thankfully, it was the right bet. I spray this stuff on myself, but I’ve also sprayed my friends with dry skin on days they complain about feeling like they’re in the desert, and guess what? We all love it. This is my go-to secret for when I over-apply my makeup, when my eyeshadow starts to cake, or when I need a little freshening up.
