Cosrx Advanced Snail Collection

The Cosrx Advanced Snail Collection* is definitely one to catch my attention and I absolutely love Korean skincare, so as a brand, Cosrx is one which appealed to me instantly. Having tried the Cosrx Low pH Good Morning Cleanser, I was keen to try more from the brand.

If you are not familiar with the brand, COSRX is a Multi-award-winning brand made famous by beauty and cosmetic experts worldwide. For over a decade MR RX studied peoples skin types and their needs in the beauty industry and it is his experience that he believed cosmetics should look for meanings more than just beauty. So, collecting what customers need and want regarding their skin types and concerns finally establishing Cosmetics + RX = COSRX was founded.

The first of the two products within this range is the COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream which is said to contain 92% snail secretion filtrate is a gel moisturiser which helps to repair your skin.

Hyaluronic Acid is also an ingredient within this rich gel cream and not only is it soothing on the skin, but it is also designed to heal, calm, regenerates and repair the skin. The cream is also formulated to prevent breakouts and maintain skin elasticity, as well as leaving skin nourished, hydrated and healthy.

This is quite a rich gel cream and it is quite gloopy when removed from the tub and you really only need such a small amount of this at any time. On the skin, the gel quickly turns to a more watery substance and absorbs into the skin really quickly.  Once it has absorbed, my skin feels really hydrated and refreshed.  This cream is priced around £27 for 100g.

The second product within this range is the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence and again, as with the product above, this Essence is comprised 96% of skin friendly snail secretion filtrate that is effective at repairing damaged skin, improving skin elasticity and maintaining hydration levels.

An Essence is a must-have product in many Korean skincare routines and to use it within yours, it is best to be used after a double cleanse and then toning. To use, you only need to apply a small amount on to the skin, I tend to focus on areas of my face which have dry patches and I then pat until absorbed and then apply your moisturiser.

This Essence is really lightweight, it isn't oily or tacky and you need just two pumps at most to cover your entire face or, to use as I do, one pump is more than enough.  I love having an Essence within my skincare routine, especially if my skin is feeling dehydrated.

Again available from Feelunique, this Essence is priced around £24.

Too Faced Tutti Frutti Watermelon Hangover Setting Spray

Over the past few weeks, I have loved trying out these new products from Too Faced Cosmetics, I am so used to playing with the makeup side of the brand that the skincare took me by surprise, especially the Major Hangover Replenishing Face Primer. The product I have used a lot of before the lockdown came was the Too Faced Tutti Frutti Watermelon Hangover Setting Spray which is described as being a weightless 3-in-1 coconut water and watermelon extract infused mist that primes, sets and refreshes.

I absolutely love how this smells, it is very much a fresh scent rather than a synthetic one, which I adore.  I am a huge fan of the Too Faced Peach Mist Mattifying Setting Spray, but this one takes its place as my favourite.

As a Primer and Setting it Spray, it is weightless and when spritzed you can barely feel it hitting the skin, the mist is so fine. Once on the skin, it is not sticky or tacky and it doesn't have a chemical scent that lingers, an issue I have found with some setting sprays. It hydrates the skin and doesn't leave mine feeling dry after using, it sets makeup and even on warm sunny days, this spray is really refreshing too.  I am not a huge fan of thick, full coverage foundations, I much prefer to have lighter coverage and even when using a BB Cream or tinted moisturiser, this setting spray is a dream to use.

It is available through all the usual stockists such as Too Faced and Boots* and is priced around £26
