Mise En Scene Perfect Repair Serum Original

Name: Mise En Scène 미쟝센 Perfect Repair Serum Original 퍼펙트 리페어 세럼 오리지널 Price: ₩ 13,000 for 70 ml (×2) Made in: Korea Perfect Repair Serum doesn't weigh down the hair and more importantly, doesn't coat the hair with a layer of grease when too much is used.

Lafine Vegetable Foam Cleansing

Name: Lafine 라피네 Vegetable Foam Cleansing 야채 폼 클렌징 Price: ₩ 14,000 for 120 ml Made in: Korea Ahhh, the cleanser that would have ranked first in 2015, if not for the pesky scrubby beads.

It is brilliant really! And for that, I would award it 6 stars (up from 5 in 2015,...
