2017 was kind of a banner year for Glow Recipe. We hosted three NYC pop-up shops (in Soho, inside the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship, and at Henri Bendel), created our first-ever collab with the Seoul-based skincare brand Whamisa, introduced K-beauty kits to the masses via an exclusive partnership with Target, and oh yeah, launched our very own two-piece skincare collection that restores glow in a major way. (Maybe you’ve heard of them: The Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask, which racked up a 5000-person waitlist in its first day and was named one of Sephora’s bestselling products of the year and the so-hydrating-you’ll-swear-it’s-a-serum Blueberry Bounce Gentle Cleanser.) In between all that, we still managed to serve up some pretty genius K-beauty tips, tricks, and trends to help you get the most out of your products—and the skin of your dreams. In case you missed them, here are our top blog posts of the year. Enjoy!
