 K-BEAUTY REVIEWS OF THE WEEK 

• Real Review for the K-Beauty All Star Set
• “I really didn’t know where to start in terms of using a kbeauty process so I emailed staff. Received a really helpful comment back recommending this pack as a starting point to get a feel for different products. Best advice ever.  Really enjoyed trying and using these products and have now moved on to purchasing some of the products to use on a regular basis. Thanks so much Style Story.”
• Review for Jelly Ko Cherry Blossom Sleeping Mask 
•  “Can I just say wow?! This mask has blown all other gels out of the water. A heavyweight gel that packs a punch. I don’t know if I can look at other gels the same. I may have found the one for life for me! This rich texture of this one makes it great for all skin types. My only con is the floral scent. It is not very potent and does not stay for long, but I’m not the hugest fan of them.”
