Ultimately, the hype around K-beauty goes beyond trends and viral moments. What started as an “if you know, you know” skincare approach has become a mainstream staple because it consistently delivers results, affordability, and thoughtful ingredients.

I asked Manny about his thoughts of K-beauty he said, “I believe K-Beauty is one of the most successful products that is out there in both the consumer and personal markets as they are quite affordable.”

When I asked Nicole if she thought K-beauty is just having a moment she said, “K-beauty have always been here, in 2013 I was using K-beauty, obviously i was still using American beauty products but even back then k-beauty was more of if you know, you know.”
December 17, 2025 at 3:05 AM
“I think K-beauty is good, because they’re good for sensitive skin. Obviously, there’s products that are gimmicky because it’s so popular right now,” “I actually prefer it over the american beauty products.” said Nicole.

When I went to Korheim, a K-beauty store located at the Westfield Topanga Mall, I spoke with the store’s manager, Nicole, and asked her about her thoughts on K-beauty.
December 17, 2025 at 3:05 AM
So why is it so popular today? A lot of it has to do with how popular it has become to take care of our skin, better ingredients that are found in K-beauty products vs. the American products.

It’s actually been around for some time now. In the 2010s, we started to see more k-beauty in mainstream stores like Target and a little bit in Ulta. It slowly started with essence and bb creams.

AP News has called Zohar Mamdani as the winner for New York City’s mayor.
November 5, 2025 at 2:58 AM
Mamdani was able to reach the younger audience with the use of social media and making relatable content while addressing all his policies and what he wishes to accomplish if he becomes New York City’s mayor.
November 5, 2025 at 2:58 AM
If Mamdani wins, it sends a strong signal to others around the world that a progressive, democratic-socialist- leaning platform can win in a major global city.
November 5, 2025 at 2:58 AM
He has proposed a tax on the city's wealthiest residents and an increase in the city’s corporate tax rate to pay for his policy ideas, which New York’s Gov. Kathy Hochul doesn’t approve of the tax even though she
endorsed Mamdani.
