Half Moon Eyes

This October, we are kickstarting with a beauty topic on "Morning Care" regime by introducing our next beauty collaborator all the way from Korea - Half Moon Eyes (HME). Now we love all things Korean Beauty but what's so special about HME? The fact that they're honest about encouraging women to be just the way they are. While brands are shouting that all natural, organic and the works are what's good for you, HME, on the other hand, tells us that they are not ALL natural and that's a good thing. They're real by saying look, we use effective ingredients and technology to provide quick beauty solutions packaging in a fun happy package.

If you're into aesthetics, then you'll love how versatile their product designs are. Be it cute, Scandinavian, minimalist, or tropical vibes, your flat lays are going to be the bomb.

HME's creator, Lee Seung Hyun shares that she was inspired by her own half-moon shaped eyes, hence the brand name, which captures women's hopes and desires to find the most beautiful side of themselves. Which is what makes Korean Beauty so much sought after as Koreans are known for their natural, glowing, beauty coupled through the use of innovative beauty technology and effective ingredients suitable for the Asian skin.

HME has 3 products cater just to make beauty simple and attractive. They are the popular Milky Jelly Toning Essence, Milky Jelly Moisture cream and the cute Pink Fruity (face pack). They are available through popular Korean Beauty online sites such as Althea Korea.
