If you love the Laneige Cream Skin Toner ($33), try the Good Light Moon Glow Milky Toning Lotion ($22):

As the winter weather rolls in, it is time to transition our lightweight routines to something a bit more hefty, but hefty doesn’t always have to mean thick. The Laneige Cream Skin Toner is a milk-like toner that provides the skin with essential hydration, but due to the milky formulation, it can feel a bit too thick. good light’s Moon Glow Milky Toning Lotion has that same powerful hydration punch for the winter, but its milky formula doesn’t leave a filmy, thick feeling behind on the skin.

If you love Glossier’s Balm Dotcom lip balms ($12), try the Innisfree My Lip Balm ($10)

If you love the Foreo Luna Sonic Facial Brush ($139.30), try the Plum Beauty Mini Sonic Facial Brush ($29.99):

Facial tools have risen in popularity this past year. As we venture into 2022, they will only become more prevalent. Despite their popularity, their price points aren’t always easy on the wallet. Foreo has been leading the skincare tool market with their gentle Luna Sonic Facial Brush, but the almost $200 price isn’t always the most accessible.

EM Cosmetics always formulates the most luxurious blushes for the skin, but sometimes the price point can be a bit unsustainable for constant repurchases. Luckily, the Korean brand, Too Cool For School, has mastered the art of creating buildable liquid blushes for the skin.
