Not related to anything here and maybe an unpopular opinion, but after trying several items claiming to be 'plumping' and 'moisturising', I have come to the semi-informed conclusion that Korean skincare isn't that great. I've used items from a few brands and my feeling is that they're thin, watery and minutes after applying my skin feels tight and dry as it did before.
I will make an exception for the Beauty of Joseon SPF, because that goes underneath everything else and I want that to be thin and fade away to nothing. I like that, and it encouraged me to try other products from other brands, but I have been disappointed every time. I had to put my basic Nivea over the top to stop my face from cracking.
I suspect it's really aimed at a youthful demographic who are dewy and plump-skinned anyway; but I have seen older influencers praising it.
I have a huge tube of the Joseon Dynasty cream at the moment and I swear it does nothing.

I haven’t tried Korean skincare, but have you tried Japanese skincare? I really like Curel and Hada Labo.
I believe Curel is aimed at dryer skin, which I don’t have, but the products still work for me. You can get it from Boots, and Hada Labo from Superdrug.
Edited to add - Regarding Korean skincare, I forgot I tried several Laneige lip sleeping masks. They smelt lovely but dried my lips out and I ended up throwing them away.
Another brand that does amazing soft eyeliners that compare with VB are Zoeva. I bought their Perfect Denim pencil instead of the VB Jeans and it's wonderful!YES! GOD bless you! Not many colours though.
Oh, I had a Laneige sleep mask for Christmas 2024 and it's nothing special. It's sitting in a drawer somewhere only partly used. I don't often get dry lips though, oddly enough (except after a flu bout), but my face otherwise is very dry. I'll have a look at those Japanese brands. I am pretty much sticking to very basic moisturisers and a bit of rosehip seed oil lately.
The Ordinary are another brand which I don't entirely rate, though I know they aren't Korean. I've tried several of their bits and never repurchased. Again, I never feel properly moisturised after using them. I know a lot of them are serums to be used under creams, but I did try the cream called something like HA + something, and it was cheap enough but too light for my tastes.
I have found Curel to be really good too. I bought mine from Sainsburys, I've just bought a trial pack which costs £19.50 but it had £6 off with a Nectar card. It had a make up remover lotion and a foam cleanser which is gorgeous. I'll definitely purchase a full size of that. The moisturiser is really light but it feels silky and moisturising. There's also a moisturising essence which I wouldn't bother repurchasing. My skin isn't overly dry, I'm 70 now and I found some products do irritate me, when I used to be able to slap anything on.
I agree about the Laneige lip balm, and I have binned some too.
That's my experience of Korean skincare too. I can understand why those 100 step skincare regimes originated there as everything is so light. Maybe the Korean climate also makes a difference?
As this beef face is from the 'slap it on your mug and get on with your day' camp, I figured spending time patting on layers of essences and serums can only mean it's aimed at youngsters with plenty of preening time.
Ooh, i'll have to nip to Sainsbury's to have a look. Between my bad back and poor eyesight I've never got Curel in Boots as it's always on low shelves.
Brilliant, thank you! They're cruelty-free as well so I will check them out.
I just had a look at the Zoeva liners and have spotted a couple that I will definitely try, when I need a new liner. Thanks for the recommendation, as I had never looked at this brand before.
Even though I have known of Sali for a lot longer than I have been aware of Tattle, I trust recommendations and tips from the trollz infinitely more than from The Notorious PRIG.

Love zoeva eyeshadows
And there is the reason she hates tattle. She'd love to be a respected writer or journalist. But she's reduced to talking about hair clips like a teen influencer.
Just checked her social media and the latest video is talking about unique things she buys in US drugstores. The first item is hair clips and she loves how you can get plain and neutral ones. Proceeds to hold up a leopard print clip
.Top result of hair clips on amazon uk shows loads of plain ones. What a compelling first item to hook people in
, I gave up.

I saw the one before that - the 'huge Sephora haul' (who uses that term any more? I thought it was around the time of Zoella) and it's just more and more identical expensive stuff for her face. I kind of admire her persistence as I lost interest in endless beauty products ages ago. Once I'd figured out it's all much of a muchness.
I genuinely think she's got a severe shopping addiction. The amount of stuff she buys is insane. So often she'll say something like 'I liked it so much so I bought five of them'. And how many bleeping nude coloured lip liners does one person need?
And hair clips? I despair.
I've ordered a couple of metallic liners. I never really wore coloured ones before Victoria but I've got a beautiful Aegean Sea multi coloured one coming!
A good brand for eyeshadow is Crow & Pebble. They do stunning colours and you can get samples before you buy a full size bag.

She's stuck on this content treadmill and being an influencer in the 2014 Zoella days. No one is excited about US drugstores thesedays. The only items you really can't get in Europe are legally not allowed without prescription like medicines with addictive ingredients or those with questionable additives.

"I'm not into pink or glitter", meanwhile back in Dec 2025:
I know it's a festive article, but who cares if the clips you just use to hold hair out of the way are pink or glitter? You're not going out in them.
Those clips don’t work if you have thick hair, and especially thick hair that gets bent/marked by hair bobbles and clips.And there is the reason she hates tattle. She'd love to be a respected writer or journalist. But she's reduced to talking about hair clips like a teen influencer.

I bought some of them a while and ended up giving them away. Now I just use a small claw clip to keep the hair out of my face.
Sally would never address this though, because she can’t fathom that people have different hair and skin types to her own!
They literally have plain ones in Superdrug?And there is the reason she hates tattle. She'd love to be a respected writer or journalist. But she's reduced to talking about hair clips like a teen influencer.

No word on if they stock these at the Brighton train station branch though, so that might be the problem.
You know at some point she’s going to tell use she had to have excess eyelid skin removed because it was affecting her vision so she had a medically necessary eye surgery and not her ‘eyes done’
That’s literally what Caroline Hiron’s did a few years ago - claimed that it was affecting her eyesight badly so she had to get a Bleph - coincidentally done by the Dr whose products she was shilling heavily at the time if I’m not mistaken. They’re all such a bunch of con artists
