Compact Shimmer Highlighters

Kimchi Chic Beauty Debuts Miniature Versions of a Popular Product

Kimchi Chic Beauty has introduced a practical yet playful addition to its lineup with the launch of 'Hope' and 'Dream.' These new additions, which are priced at $12 each, figure as miniature versions of the brand's popular 'Pearl Gone Wild' Pressed Shimmer Highlighters.

'Hope' is a vibrant blue iridescent, and 'Drem' is a delicate pink iridescent. Both are expected to deliver bold, reflective finishes that are suitable for festival makeup, everyday glam, or on-the-go touch-ups. The formulations are blendable and durable. Kimchi Chic Beauty maintains that 'Hope' and 'Dream' retain the same high-intensity shimmer as their full-sized counterparts while improving the customer experience through enhanced portability.

Alongside these highlighters, Kimchi Chic Beauty also promotes other travel-sized essentials like the Puff Puff Pass Mini and That White Powder Mini.
