‘Perfect’ Korean beauty bag packed ‘all the products you need’ now 50% off

The Glow On-The-Go Beauty Bag contains seven K-beauty icons and is currently half price in the iHerb anniversary sale

Beauty edits, whether in a box, bag, or advent calendar, are a great way to test new products without spending a fortune on full-sized tubes and pots that might not work for our skin. One such beauty bag from health and wellness retailer iHerb has been called a ‘lifesaver’ for its travel-friendly size.

The iHerb Exclusive Glow On-The-Go Beauty Bag is a 7-piece set, neatly packaged in a transparent cosmetics bag, that typically retails for £48.20. However, to celebrate 30 years, the brand has launched a 30th-anniversary sale, which knocks the price down to £24.10.

This essentially drops the price of each item in the bag to around £3.50, which, given it contains top K-Beauty names like Jumiso, Anua, Dr Althea, Mary&May, and more. With a 4.7-star rating on iHerb as an individual item, the Anua brightening pads have impressed beauty fans with their quality and formula – making it a star product in this beauty haul.

The Anua Niacinamide 5 TXA Brightening Pads contain 10 toning pads formulated to help brighten the skin’s appearance and reduce the appearance of dark spots. It is packed with seven types of peptides, TXA (Tranexamic Acid), and 5% Niacinamide (renowned for strengthening the skin barrier, calming inflammation, and reducing dark spots).

One shopper said: “Best product I’ve ever used, I’ve seen immediate effect. Felt so good after a month, and I will keep using it regularly.” However, another user was less impressed and said: “I tried it twice and didn’t see that it did anything to the skin, nice for refreshing the face and nothing more.”

With a range of options for specific skin concerns, one alternative for anyone struggling with large pores and uneven skin tone is the Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0, £24. Containing 70 pads, they help refine skin’s appearance with an AHA fruit complex, salicylic acid, and lactic acid.

Elsewhere, Mediheal Collagen Ampoule Pad 100 Pads, £22, aim to hydrate, brighten, tackle fine lines and soothe irritated skin. With 100 pads in a tub, the pre-soaked formula is enriched with collagen, ceramides and milk protein to boost hydration, support skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Another highly rated product inside the iHerb beauty haul is the Dr Althea Pure Retinol 0.15% Cream 20g, which typically retails at £18.40 at Boots. With a low retinol percentage, it’s ideal for anyone new to this ingredient and worried about irritation. For use at night, the cream is said to help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven skin tone, and loss of firmness while supporting the skin barrier.

Although iHerb shoppers were buzzing about the brand’s Glow On-The-Go Beauty Bag, with one user going as far as to say ‘it’s honestly a lifesaver’. With a 4.9 star rating from more than 140 reviews.

One reviewer said: “An excellent cosmetic set to try. It has everything you need for comprehensive facial care. The quality of the products is very high. I liked the retinol cream and the mask. Overall, everything worked well; none of the products caused irritation. The packaging is reliable. The benefits are obvious – my skin is moisturised, and wrinkles are reduced.”

Someone else added: “It contains all the products you basically need! Worth every penny, it saves a lot of money! Quality of products is awesome.”

Another noted: “A fun beauty bag with high-quality Korean skincare. The selection of products is great, I liked that I got practically a full skincare routine: the package includes facial cleansers, a moisturiser, face masks and serums. The beauty bag and the sample-sized products are very useful for travel, and the contents were worth much more than the price. It was a great deal, thank you!”

While some shoppers did deduct a star from their rating, their testimonials don’t declare why. The only gripe one shopper had, despite their five-star rating, was that ‘size could be bigger’. Although, most people liked this due to being able to test out new creams and formulas before investing in full size, not to mention easy travelling.

This was echoed in one five-star review, which read: “Perfect for travel! Got this specifically for an upcoming trip, and it’s honestly a lifesaver. The clear pouch is super convenient for TSA, and all the sizes are travel-friendly, so they won’t hog space in a carry-on. Love the variety inside- it gives you everything needed to keep your skin hydrated while away. Great value for the price!”
