VT Reedle Shot Sachets are travel-sized ampoules, available in various strengths like 100, 300, and 500. There are also ones for different skin needs like facial boosting, facial lifting, skin repair, and skin radiance. You get 6 pouches in each box, making them perfect for taking around with you. The sachets are a budget-friendly alternative to microneedling, using “Cica Reedles”, micro-needle-like silica structures infused with Centella Asiatica to gently exfoliate, refine skin texture, and boost absorption of active ingredients.

The Bom Aegyosal Eyeliner is a pencil-type product, designed specifically to create or enhance the appearance of aegyosal- the puffy area under the eyes (different from dark circles) that is a huge part of Korean makeup looks. The pencil helps define and highlight the under-eye area, making eyes appear larger, brighter, and more youthful. There are two colors available, brown and beige, so you can contrast and highlight for a 3D effect. Use the beige directly on the aegyosal area and the brown under the lower lashline to create a shadow.
