I got this cleanser for my brother who lacks a decent skin-care routine. One thing led to another an I ended up borrowing it and I fell in love. This may be my favorite cleansing foam as it doesn't dry out my skin like most foam cleansers. I'll go more into depth.

Claims
-features a  natural extract formula using fermented green tea to deliver fresh benefits.
-exfoliate/cleanse skin of impurities
-leaves skin moisturized/vitalized
-contains aloe vera which helps reduce irritation/redness.

While walking down the streets of Myeongdong, people were handing out free sheet mask. I didn't realize it was free, until the last day. You just have to walk inside the store, browse and leave with the sheet mask. [Of course, you could always make a purchase.] The whole purpose is to attract new customer since they have to compete with so many cosmetic stores and even sometimes store of the same brand.

 If you're wondering, I wasn't sent this product. My blog is like a little baby.



CURRENT SKIN CONDITION: DRY/SENSITIVE/DESERT

I stuck the mask in the fridge for a few minutes and popped it on my face. It gives off a nice cooling sensation perfect for the heat.

My skin didn't have any reaction to the sheet mask. When I took it off, my face was well-hydrated throughout the day. The only thing I do have to say is that the essence was much thicker than I was expecting. It didn't fully soak into my skin and gave me that dewy look. In my personal opinion, I feel like this mask is best suited for a pamper yourself night routine. I prefer using a product that lies on the lighter spectrum in the morning plus you're probably wearing makeup as well. This is just my personal preference.

2 plane rides. 24 hours. I'm finally in South Korea. The motherland of K-Beauty which is what my blog generates around. I headed to Missha to pick up some stuff and picked up this sheet mask which was a steal. 10,000 won for 25 sheet mask.

This is one of the most raved foundations in the K-Beauty world. People have been comparing this foundation to the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup Foundation. I haven't tried the Double Wear Foundation, so I can't say much about that. I tested this foundation in the harsh winter weather for a week! I did not powder the foundation and used the primer  Here's my in-depth review.

This product claims to be a lightweight,  perfect coverage and a long-lasting foundation. Let's see if it lives up to the name

Packaging+

It comes in an adorable rectangular box that has both Korean and English direction which is always a plus. The top tab of the box tells you the shade the product is in.  If you're wondering, I got the shade tan which is suppose to be similar to shade 23 because I know Korean foundation runs light. I'm absolutely horrific at shade matching myself and the product is an online exclusive of Etude House which doesn't help my case. I managed to somewhat match my shade right. Me and my fellow Asian friend who is a similar skin tone like to joke around and say we're Asian tan. I guess we were right because in Korean Foundation I'm in the shade than when I hella light compared to an actual tan complexion.
The foundation comes in a frosted weighted bottle with a pump. Yes, a pump! In the front, it tells you the standard foundation name and all and in the back, it tells you the shade.



Shade Ranges/Swatch
In this foundation line, there are as you can see 8 shades available. It's best you go by shades swatches instead of the foundation name as the foundation name. Ex. Tan is not a real tan shade.

Details/Thoughts: Raved for good reason


The foundation gives a semi-matte finish. The foundation is a bit drying on my skin. It is a matte foundation and I do have dry skin.  If you have dry skin like myself, you can moisturize your skin or use a hydrating primer. The foundation will work for those who have oily or combination skin type.

The coverage is medium to high. It covers my redness with one layer with my hyper-pigmentation peaking through. You can always build up the foundation if you want that full-full coverage. It's easy to blend with a brush or a sponge. The foundation doesn't look cakey yet at the same time, it doesn't look natural on the skin. It does oxidize throughout the day which is annoying. The product has a floral scent which can be overwhelming.

It's lightweight on the skin like the foundation claims to be. The texture of the product is liquidly. The foundation is long lasting and will last a night out with friends or school. It will get a bit shiny throughout the day and you will need to blot it though.  I did notice it does break down a little after like 9 hours or when I get oily. I do recommend using a powder, a decent primer that is meant to keep your makeup in place (mine was for blurring)  and use a setting spray.


I WOULD NOT buy this foundation again because it's not best suited for my skin type.  If you have oily/combination skin I think this is a wonderful foundation for you. I can see why there's a lot of hype around it. It does lives up to its claims for the most part.

This foundation would be wonderful in a humid climate or in summer.  This foundation would work wonderfully for those with oily skin or combo. skin types.If you have dry skin like myself and want to try this out then make sure you use a hydrating primer and moisturize your skin.

 If I was to rate this product, I would give it a 3/5. I would wear this foundation again if it's only for a short period of time if I want that coverage since it does dry out my skin. I wish they did extend the shade range and for it to be in stores. I find it incredibly mind-blowing that a store will make a foundation online exclusive since you need to shade match and you run the risk of getting the wrong shade and returning it.

Ever since I did my review on the Cosrx Good Morning PH cleanser, I couldn't wait to get my hands on another COSRX product. With my desire to try out products from the brand gave birth to this review.

If you've been following Korean Beauty for quite some time than you've heard about The Saem Cover Perfection Tip Concealer. Numerous K-Beauty influencers have been raving about this little concealer and could be considered one of their holy grails.
I was thinking about buying this concealer when I go to Korea, so I could, of course, swatch it and everything. Then YesStyle was doing a promotion during the time I was ordering a couple of clothes from YesStyle and the promotion was basically the first 100 people to use this code get a free Saem Concealer basically and I snatched it.  I've been testing this for about 2 weeks and here my review!

Packaging
The Seam Cover Perfection Tip Concealer comes in a small clear plastic tube with a doe foot applicator. I'm a fan of any concealer that comes with a doe foot applicator compares to a squeeze tube or having to wind up the product like the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer because it's less messy and does not take as much time.There's 6.5 grams of product which roughly converts to .23 ounces. It contains less product than the average concealer, but it's more affordable than a concealer from Sephora.

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

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.

Hey! How is everyone? I'll be reviewing the  Etude House OH! M' Eye Lash Volume Mascara! I never thought I would actually put out a makeup review, so hopefully everything makes sense.

Before I start the post, make sure to subscribe to the blog to stay updated with all my contents. Also follow my Instagram Thefallenwaddles! I've been feeling depressed these day, wondering if I should still post content to the blog or perhaps even slow down on the content. Cause I do post 2-3 times a week. It depends on my mood. School is approaching, so I might just time my post to help out with time managing.... Anyways, let's just get on with the makeup review.
