I wasn’t even planning on going to TJ Maxx yesterday but I’m so glad I did! I found some popular Korean skincare brands for a lower price and I can’t wait to try them. I also found some other fun little goodies.
The products:
COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence🐌
I am so excited to finally try this product!
COSRX Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence💧
I’m almost out of my current HA serum so this is perfect!
Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil🌸
I’ve never found a cleansing oil I’m happy with so I’m hoping this is the one. I’ll post a review after I try it!
Bliss facial razors🪒
I have been dermaplaning regularly for about 2 years and been buying face razors at target and they’re so overpriced! I’ll be buying them from TJ Maxx forever now.
Blue Lizard SPF 50 Sunscreen💙🦎
I live in Arizona so I always need to have a sunscreen in my bag for reapplying throughout the day. I love the Blue Lizard brand so I picked this up.
Thank You Cards🤠🍓
I have decided that I want to be the type of girl that writes handwritten thank you cards and these ones were just so cute!
Skincare Headband🧖♀️
I finally caved and bought the influencer headband… but honestly I think it will really help me keep my hair out of my face while I do my makeup.
... Read moreOkay, so you saw my mini TJ Maxx haul, and I'm still buzzing from those incredible finds! Seriously, if you're into Korean skincare or just love a good beauty bargain, TJ Maxx can be a goldmine. I wasn't even planning on it, but I hit the jackpot with some truly popular K-beauty items that I've been wanting to try for ages.
For anyone wondering how I manage to snag these deals, my top tip is to check frequently and always scour the beauty aisles thoroughly. Sometimes the best Korean skincare gems are tucked away, or they just fly off the shelves super fast. It's like a treasure hunt, and yesterday, I definitely found the map!
Let's talk about the star of the show: the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence. You guys, I've heard so much hype about this snail mucin essence! It's renowned for its hydrating, soothing, and repairing properties. People swear by it for everything from calming irritated skin to improving skin texture and reducing acne scars. I'm planning to use it right after toning and before my serums to really lock in that moisture and get that coveted "glass skin" look. I'll be sure to share my first impressions and a full review once I've given it a good test. Finding it at TJ Maxx was a total win because K-beauty can sometimes be a bit pricey, so getting it at a discount makes it even sweeter.
Next up, another COSRX hero: the Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Power Essence. Hydration is key, especially living in Arizona, and my current HA serum is almost empty. Hyaluronic acid serum is a non-negotiable in my routine because it draws moisture from the air into your skin, keeping it plump and dewy. This one promises intense hydration without feeling sticky, which is exactly what I need. I usually layer my HA after my essences and before my moisturizer. This is perfect for boosting my skin's moisture barrier, especially as the summer heat kicks in.
And oh my goodness, the Beauty of Joseon Ginseng Cleansing Oil! I've been on the hunt for a cleansing oil that truly works for me without leaving a greasy residue or breaking me out. Oil cleansing is a game-changer for removing makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime, and many K-beauty routines start with it. The Beauty of Joseon brand is known for its traditional Hanbang ingredients, and ginseng is fantastic for anti-aging and brightening. I'm really hoping this is "the one" for my double-cleansing routine. I’m excited to see how it melts away my makeup and leaves my skin feeling clean and nourished.
Beyond the K-beauty jewels, I also picked up some other practical items. I grabbed a pack of Bliss facial razors – a total necessity for dermaplaning. Seriously, if you haven't tried dermaplaning at home, it exfoliates your skin and helps your skincare products absorb better, plus it makes your makeup go on flawlessly. These were such a steal compared to other stores!
And speaking of essentials, the Blue Lizard SPF 50 Sunscreen is a must-have for my Arizona life. Reapplying sunscreen throughout the day is crucial, and Blue Lizard is a brand I trust for effective sun protection. This will definitely live in my bag!
Finally, that adorable skincare headband! I totally caved on the "influencer headband" trend, but honestly, keeping my hair out of my face during my skincare routine and makeup application is going to be so much easier. It's the little things that make a difference, right?
So, if you're looking to upgrade your skincare routine or just find some amazing deals, definitely give your local TJ Maxx a visit. You never know what Korean skincare treasures you might unearth! I'll keep you posted on how these products work out for me.
