    The serum I'll be reviewing is the Chanel Hydrate Beauty Serum. This serum was quite expensive, to be honest. It was $135 for 1.7 fluid ounces. Let's be honest anything branded with the Chanel logo is going to cost a pretty penny. It does not mean that the product is guaranteed to be wonderful. I'm not saying this to be negative towards the brand, but I know some people have this mindset where anything luxurious and expensive is automatically good. In fact, my mom is one of those people which is why I have access to this serum. Also, I've tried some of Chanel expensive skincare product and well... they weren't what I hoped they would be, more on that later.

    Claims 
    The Chanel Hydra Beauty Serum is a fresh and smoothing serum that is ideal for all skin types. It moisturizes,comforts,protects and boosts overall radiance.

    Ingredients 

    Water, Alcohol, Isohexadecane, Glyceryl Polymethacrylate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, PEG/PPG/Polybutylene Glycol-8/5/3 Glycerin, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Sodium PCA, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Dimethicone, Isononyl Isononanoate, Camellia Japonica Flower Extract, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Extract, Olus (Vegetable Oil), Methyl Methacrylate Crosspolymer, HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, Parfum, Caprylyl Glycol, Sodium Acrylates C/10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Propylene Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Thermus Thermophillus Ferment, PEG-12, Camelina Sativa Seed Oil, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylparaben, Hyaluronic Acid, Silanetriol, Silica, Propylparaben, Citric Acid, Sorbic Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Biotin

    Details
    The serum costs $135 for 17 fl.oz which breaks down to about $2.70 per milliliter (ml). It has this floral scent to this product and I notice that a lot of Chanel or if not all there product has a fragrance. I'm not really fond of this particular scent because I found it a bit overwhelming.  The product is clear and is lightweight.



    Thoughts: 
    This product is lightweight and is hydrating. I will like to say that this will not give me the hydration I need for the winter, and the hydration level for me at least was meh. It wasn't a holy grail items and just reminds me of their previous items that I've tried that failed to impress me like the Mousse Confort rinse-off foaming cream cleanser which gave me that pore-tightening feeling which is an indicator that this product is quite drying on my skin and the Le Blanc brightening tri-phase makeup remover which wasn't the best at removing my makeup. If you are sensitive to fragrance then don't get this. Look somewhere else. You will most likely find a better serum than this at a better price point.

    This would work for people who have normal to oily skin or anyone who just needs a bit of moisture.
    However, if your skin is dry or sensitive don't get this. It won't do much in term of hydration and it could end up irritating your skin. This serum overall is best suited for the summer time rather than the winter.  You will need something more moisturizing.

    The thought of snail in skincare can baffle a few or light up a spark of curiosity, but snail is a pretty common ingredient in Asian skincare. It has many beneficial properties to it like skin texture improvement.  The product I'll be reviewing today is the Secret Key Snail Repairing Essence.

    PACKAGING
    There's nothing special in the packaging. It's a plain pump bottle with a plastic pump. The pump doesn't spurt out or anything crazy. It's sanitary as it prevents air-exposure and you won't need to keep your fingers into the product which it isn't sanitary.





    CLAIMS
    Secret Key  Snail Repairing Essence claims to offer moisture to the skin to that'll create a radiant skin. It'll brighten up your skin tone and improve any skin texture problem you might be facing. It'll firm and vitalize your skin.

    WHERE TO PURCHASE

    YESSTYLE- $7.96 🌸
    AMAZON - $15.51

There is a page dedicated to all my active affiliates link for those curious. Links with 🌸 will indicate if it's affiliated or not*


    DETAILS

    There are about a 40 ml of product and the product is clear. It has a sticky/slimy consistency which is supposed to be expected as this is a snail product. It feels a bit thick when you apply it to your skin, but once you start tapping it into your skin it becomes lightweight.




    THOUGHTS.
    The phrases that I would associate with this product is okay than holy grail. My skin has been dehydrated due to the fact I have not been drinking water and I started to have flakiness on my nose. In terms of hydration, it was okay, but  I was expecting more, to be honest. It didn't do much to help with my flakiness though. I feel like if you have dry skin it won't work for you, but it might work for oily skin.  After using this product for a month, my hyper-pigmentation hasn't faded or anything of that nature. It hasn't broken me out. That's all there to say.  I don't see myself re-purchasing this product again.

    The city that never sleeps is an accurate description of Time Square. From someone who has lived their whole life in this "great" city, I got a lot of things to say. From the death of the gigantic ToyRUs that kills me in the inside to the MnM store that makes me question why isn't Hershey more popular. (Hershey gives free candy Hehe) Stores are constantly moving and changing. 

    A store that I have been waiting for literally the past 5 months to open was the Line Friend Stores. Line Friends are stickers character for a mobile messenger app called Line which is popular in Asia. 
    They are extremely cute and they obviously are the face of the store (obviously) I'm going to give the rundown of the place. Details-Pros-Cons





                                                                                    PROS-




    Family Friendly- This would be my dream store as a kid. I had this lowkey addiction with plushies
    and cute stuff. If you are someone who loves that or knows a little kid that likes that kind of thing. You might want to pin this in your travel list.

    Perfect Photo- This place has so many photos opportunity. When you enter the store, there's a giant bear that will great you. which you can take a picture with. All you have to do is wait in line and the staff will take the photo for you when it's your turn. There's even a connected room to the store that is painted in pink that is honestly just like a photo op dream. Before you enter the room, there 2 statues that are stationed near the entrance that is just as cute. Waiting in line for the cashier isn't a drag. There a cute lit bear wall that you could take a picture of or with if you're out of line xD

    Wonderful Location-  It's located where all the tourism is at. It makes it a bit more accessible since a majority of the stores that you might want to visit are around there from Hershey to Disney. 




    OverPriced- It's overpriced. I mean Time Square is a tourist destination, so that was an obvious statement. I saw a small kid dino backpack retailed for $62 Us Dollars and a mug for 16 dollars. The mug was actually something that wasn't a big deal to me cause I think that's a standard price for a mug in TimesSquare. They do sell some affordable items though like notepads which is like 3 dollars.


    Small- Compared to a lot of stores in Time Square. It doesn't even compete with a lot of them.  It being small isn't that big of a deal, but still, I thought I had to mention it. 



    _____________________________________________________________________________

    It's a nice place and I think you should visit it if you can. It's flipping adorable and just a cuteness overload. Here are some pictures  I got to give you an overall vibe of the store
