The Korean beauty (or K-beauty) craze in the Philippines is overwhelming! My officemates are all into it. The officemates of my mom are willing to spend thousands on it! I, a low maintenance woman who do not pay much attention to expensive beauty products, am suddenly caught by its magic.
At the same time, Filipinos are much into traveling to South Korea nowadays. Welcome remarks, such as good morning! or welcome! in famous tourist destinations in South Korea now include a Tagalog translation.
With these hype going on these days, I bet all you ladies are thinking that it would be best to splurge on K-beauty products while you are traveling the beautiful country of South Korea. You are actually thinking of hoarding, since you'll be able to save a notable amount of money than buying it from online sellers here in the Philippines. However, you have a limited budget for your South Korean trip. You then start to ask,

A. How much cheaper are Korean beauty products sold in South Korea? Is it worth it to allocate a portion of my travel allowance to K-beauty?
D. Is it worth it to spend my allowance on Korean beauty products while I am there, or would it be okay to just allocate my money on legit Korean food and buy Korean beauty products in the Philippines?
We traveled South Korea last November 2017, and I bought a multitude of Korean beauty products. I was able to take down some of its prices, and I have compared its amount with the same products sold in online shops here in the Philippines.

Below are my findings, which might give you a little bit of insight. I have included my recommendation here, but again, the decision is still solely up to you!!!
This is based on my own personal experience during the latter weeks of November 2017. Prices and exchange rates used were all gathered during the same time. The prices and exchange rates in this post may change in time, depending on the vendors, on the current economy, and other factors beyond my control.
This is assuming that you are buying K-beauty products while traveling South Korea. The case/factors/analysis are different if you are visiting Korea for the sole purpose of buying K-beauty products for the K-beauty business you're eyeing, as you have to take certain overhead costs (eg: flight, airfare, food, transporation, importation costs, customs regulations, etc.) into account.
