TikTok/social media influence
Multiple reviewers explicitly say they bought the puff after seeing it on TikTok or 'Red Note,' and it became a permanent part of their makeup routine.
Beauty box / freebie discovery
Several buyers first tried the puff as a bonus item in an Olive Young beauty box or gift set and then went on to purchase it directly, citing the sample as their gateway to loyalty.
Repeat purchase / stocking during sales
A large share of reviews are explicit repurchases, with customers stockpiling multiple units during discount periods because they 'can't use any other puff' once switched.
Recommendation from friends, sisters, or YouTubers
Word-of-mouth from family members and beauty YouTubers is cited as a purchase driver, with reviewers noting they bought it specifically because someone they trusted recommended it.
Value alternative to premium brands
Some buyers purchased it as a budget-friendly substitute for pricier options like the Sephora/Beautyblender puff, noting it delivers comparable or better softness at a lower cost.
