Out of my recently received Korean products, The Saem Saemmul Aura Liquid Highlighter was one of the items I’d been most looking forward to. Finding a versatile highlighter is no easy feat; most highlighters are too sparkly for my taste.
The Saem is a natural Korean skincare & makeup brand that, like Innisfree, does not use parabens, mineral oil, artificial colours or animal ingredients in their products. I recently discovered The Saem after searching for alternatives to Innisfree, since I pretty much have everything that I want from them!
These Saemmul Aura Liquid Highlighter bottles caught my eye because they reminded me of Benefit’s High/Moon Beam, which I used for a long time before making the switch to natural cosmetic brands.
The shades available are #1 Pink Light and #2 Gold Light
As the names suggest, Pink Light is a warm pearly pink, whereas Gold Light gives a subtle golden radiance, both of which are very pretty on their own. Other than applying these on the usual areas as a highlighter, you could also mix them into foundations/BB cream for an all over glow.

The Saem Saemmul Aura Liquid Highlighter retails at 8,000 KRW each for 8g – excellent value for money if you can get it for this price or less!
I remember seeing this brand when I was overseas and was put off by the prices! Seems like it was marked up a lot when it was exported out of Korea.
Yep there's usually a huge markup on Korean products when sold outside of Korea! Definitely worth hauling online though, it's worth it even with shipping factored in.
Yar, I have been getting my Korean fix online too.. But I haven't been hauling much makeup lately.. My funds are diverted to elsewhere. hahaha
