Why Everybody Loves Cosmetics in Korea

Famous in Korea, aside from the barbecue’s, korea novels and K Pop, above all is cosmetics. 

Korean products are significantly cheaper than their western counterparts because manufacturing costs are lower in Korea. There are many skilled Filipinos also working in this tiger country and enjoying their stay. There is also stiff competition between companies to offer the “best for less”.
