I Tried Riley Rose, the New Beauty Brand by Forever 21, and Here Are My Favorites

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Texas chapter.

This weekend, take a quick break from studying and those projects that you’re working on and checkout Forever21’s new online beauty store – Riley Rose! You may or may not remember that last year, the company decided to take a step forward and expand their beauty-only store, Riley Rose. Though the shop itself has opened up in September, they’ve recently launched a website – meaning you can buy all their AWESOME products easier than ever!!

The selection of products that they offer, includes brands that are pretty tough to find anywhere else, from K-beauty faves to brands like Lime Crime. In the list below, explore some of our favorites like Tony Moly to PeriPera.

1. TonyMoly – The Chok Chok Green Tea Watery Skin Toner

This hydrating toner soothes skin gently, creating a complexion that appears revitalized, brightened, and softened.

You’ll fall in love with this toner if you’re worried about dullness, dryness, and uneven skin tone (redness/dark spots).

“Chok Chok” is the Korean word for moist or luminous. Formulated with the moisture of fermented green tea, this antioxidant – rich toner lives up to its name by soothing and hydrating skin for a bright, soft, and flawless complexion.

Use this toner daily after cleansing, and before applying moisturizer with a cotton ball or cotton pad – gently all over the face and neck.

 

2. Banila Co – Clean It Zero

This sherbet – style balm-to-oil cleanser effortlessly melts away any makeup! Clean It Zero dissolves even waterproof makeup in a blink without stripping away your skin’s natural oils. This miraculous balm utilizes skin-brightening vitamin C from acerola extract and and exfoliating papaya extract to whisk away any stubborn makeup, leaving your skin looking squeaky clean and radiant.

Use this balm on a dry face, take a scoop and massage it gently in circular motions to melt away any makeup. Add small amounts of water to emulsify, then rinse clean with lukewarm water.

 

3. DearPacker – Black Ginseng Gold Hydrogel Mask

Can face masks get any more luxurious? Apparently, the answer is YES! You’ll love this 24K gold – infused mask if you’re looking for something for dryness, dehydration, and dullness.

This mask is made with premium ingredients like 24K gold and black ginseng for the ultimate self-care treatment. The intensely moisturizing hydrogel texture will plump and firm your skin for that lit-from-within glow.

 

4. Cosrx – One Step Original Clear Pad

These facial toner pads gently wipe away excess oil and keep your complexion clear, refined, and well – balanced. You’ll especially love these pads if you’re worried about oiliness, uneven skin tone (redness / dark spots), pores, blackheads, acne, and blemishes.

Made with all – natural ingredients, Cosrx’s One Step Clearing Pads reduce irritations while deeply penetrating the pores to clear unwanted congestion. These pads quickly and effectively clear up acne and blemishes, regulate sebum production, remove impurities, promote smoother skin, and improve skin texture.

 

5. PeriPera – Ink Airy Velvet

This light-as-air lip tint delivers beautiful and vibrant color to the lips with a splash of moisture!

Enjoy intense, matte-yet-moisturizing color all day long with PeriPera’s Ink Airy Velvet lip tint. The color is amazing yet moisturizing. Definitely a must have!

 

6. Elizavecca – Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

Clear, shine-free and photo ready skin is one clay mask away.

You’ll love this clay mask if you’re worried about oiliness, large pores, and blackheads.

Though you may be looking a little goofy while sporting Elizavecca’s Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask, but the after effects will be more than worth it! The carbonation in this unique mask produces a snapchat-worthy fluffy cloud appearance once applied. The bubbly mudpack formula contains white clat, green tea extracts, and charcoal to unclog pores and prevent sebum production.

Leave the mud on skin for 10 – 15 minutes while it activates by puffing up and remove foam over a sink. Next, rinse off all the product and take pictures of your new selfie worthy skin!
