Extra Details:
Hi Prugu fam 💖
I’m in Korea for the very first time (!!) and currently standing inside an Olive Young with wide eyes, weak knees, and zero self-control. I’ve heard about K-beauty for YEARS, saved way too many TikToks, and now I’m finally here… staring at shelves packed with products I don’t fully understand but desperately want.
So here’s the question:
👉 If you were me, what would you grab instantly from this shelf?
I’m looking for holy-grail, no-regret K-beauty picks—the kind of products locals repurchase and beauty insiders swear by.
