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.

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.

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 

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.

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.
