With K-beauty being all the rage these days (still), it's refreshing to see something different in the saturated online Asian beauty scene. Besides, it appears that all of their featured products aren't available in physical stores here, so the new variety is always welcome.
BeautyKeeper sent me a bunch of their products to try recently, and while not all of them are up for sale on their website yet, do look out for them in the months to come.
Here's what they picked out for me:
Clockwise from top left:
1. Sevynal Brightening and Firming Repair Mask
I've used lots of sheet masks in my lifetime and some of my favourites are Taiwanese ones, so I was quite excited to try this! It was refreshing and definitely welcome at the end of a long day :) Well, masks are pretty self-explanatory so I'll move on to the next one.
2. Ethel Cosmeceutical AHA Citric Acid Tablets
All the wording on this packet of lemon tablets was in Chinese, so I had to Google this product's benefits - apparently it's supposed to help give more radiant skin and increase your energy levels. According to the few Chinese words I could make out, you're can pop 3-5 of these each day. The packet has roughly 10 days' worth of tablets.
The moment I put this in my mouth I felt the sharp lemony zest hit me. Was certainly more awake after that LOL. I like sour stuff, so although this hit me a little harder than expected at first, it was by no means unpleasant.
It comes in a resealable packet so you can bring this around with you with no hassle!
3. Eyes Light
My first impression of the bottle that this eye serum came in was that it was a cheapo one - and I was quite right. Other than how it's reminiscent of one of those kiddy plastic beauty toys you can find at Toys 'R' Us, it doesn't dispense well. It's hard to control the pump and the product often comes out in a big squirt of more than what I actually need, so that's a fair bit of product wasted that I could otherwise use for a separate occasion :(
Packaging aside, the product itself was pleasant, with a light texture that absorbed well into my skin and didn't leave a sticky feeling at all.
From the looks of it, the ingredients used are all quite natural - and few in quantity too, with just over 10 ingredients including Chamomile Extract and Collagen. I read somewhere that those with sensitive skin should pick beauty products with fewer ingredients as it reduces the risk of irritation, so this would probably be good for those whose skin flare up easily.
4. YOHO Power Probiotics Collagen
I put mine in my tea - it dissolved fast even without stirring and was virtually tasteless, which is good because I don't really fancy something marring the flavours of my morning beverage.

Overall I had a pleasant experience with these few products. My only gripe is that most of them had instructions/ingredient lists solely in Chinese, which might be off-putting for non-Chinese friends or people with shitty Chinese capabilities whom might like to try these; people tend to be more trusting of products which have packagings they actually understand. Really hoping that BeautyKeeper might stick translated English labels on the future products they bring in!
