I can't believe I haven't reviewed these yet! I went to add them to my newest list & noticed I haven't posted my full review. Apologies for the lack of photos but I'm down to my last one and apparently didn't take photos 🙃🙃🙃🤦🏻‍♀️ So let's get into it... 🐌🍯Jin Jung Sung - Snail Honey Jelly Mask 💬This is by far my favorite sheet mask EVER!! Its no secret I love snail mucin. Combined with honey & HA on sheets made from Eucalyptus these masks are an absolute dream. They fit really well & are super affordable. I got a pack of 10 for $16 from the Credithink shop on Amazon. Go get some!! Your skin will thank you! When you apply the mask & remove the mesh part you're left with tons of fun, snaily micro-bubbles that you massage in. Omg it feels so nice! After about 15min you remove the mask, pat in the essence & enjoy the dewy, snaily hydration. It takes a few minutes to absorb but seal in that goodness with your favorite moisturizer & your skin will be so happy!

🖤Cica Barrier 5.5 Cleansing Gel 🐇Cruelty Free ✔Fragrance Free & EO Free ♻️In recycled plastic containers (used recycled PE 40%) 🚨Best Price: $10.37 at Yesstyle.com (Code B3HAPPY for a discount) 💬Such a lovely cleanser! The gel foams up nicely without any stripping at all. It pairs perfectly with their oil balm & washes away any remaining yuck from the day. It works great on its own as well! My skin feels so soft & clean after patting dry & this quickly became the cleanser I reach for in the morning. It actually reminds me of my BFF Krave cleanser just a little less jelly-like. Highly recommend!!

🦋✌🏻We Come in Peace Probiotic Serum 🛒www.goodlight.world/Some Ulta Stores 💲24/35ml 🐇Cruelty Free 🌱Vegan 🤍Fragrance Free 🦋Standout Ingredients: ▪Bakuchiol ~Retinol alternative that promotes cell turnover & plumps skin. ▪Lactococcus Ferment Lysate ~Probiotic extract that helps strengthen skin barrier & regulate the microbiome ▪Carrot & Moringa Seed Oils ~Anti-inflammatory/Antioxidant ▪Blue Tansy ~cooling & soothing 💬 Winter has been super harsh so I've been focused on moisture & hydration as well as nourishing & strengthening my skin barrier. This stuff has been a gamechanger. It goes on smooth, absorbs beautifully, & leaves my skin hydrated, balanced, & protected. It has a natural minty/earthy scent to it that doesn't linger. I love how well each of these good light products work so well together. Highly recommend purchasing the whole set & seeing what it can do for your skin.

🌌Cosmic Dew Water Cleanser 💲18 / 3.34oz 🐇Cruelty Free 🤍Fragrance Free ♻️Sustainably sourced ingredients & packaging Standout Ingredients: 🌿Laminaria Japonica ~A hydrating seaweed that eliminates toxins, plumps, & rejuvenates 🔬Fructooligosaccharides ~A prebiotic from plant sugars that supports the microbiome & reduces sensitivity 💧Glycerin 💦Hyaluronic Acid 💬Y'all... this cleanser is PERFECT. I've said it before & I'll say it again...I'm a cleanser snob. I've tried TONS of them. I know what I like/what I don't & I LOVE this one. It's a crystal clear gel that turns into super light, but effective foam. It doesn't strip or dry me out & it leaves my skin SO soft. When I use it in the shower I don't find myself rushing to a mist or toner to prevent my face from drying out. I also really love it as a 2nd cleanse. If I have to work a lot of makeup & SPF off my skin it starts feeling extra sensitive making a gentle 2nd cleanse super important. This one finishes the job and leaves my skin feeling clean & calm. Highly recommend for dry/sensitive types, but think it will work well for literally anyone.

I recieved this product from Picky & Tiam in exchange for my honest review. 💛Vita B3 Source Serum💛 ✔Niacinamide 10% ✔Arbutin 2% ✔Licorice (Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate) ✔Allantoin 💬Here we are again with a higher percentage Niacinamide serum. While I prefer low percentages, I still use & enjoy a 10% every now and then. I love the addition of arbutin for a brightening boost & soothing superstars licorice & allantoin. All in all, the formula gives me high hopes. The brightening potential is def there. I've been using 3 drops every evening for about a week & it fits in well with the rest of my routine. I wish I had more time to use it before the deadline so I could speak to the results, but for now I'm enjoying how well it pairs with my other products.

Ingredients I Love: ▪︎Centella Asiatica ▪︎Heartleaf ▪︎Licorice Root 💬My experience: Another gorgeous Korean sunscreen! I love the applicator tip. Prevents mess & is super convenient. I feel like the green tint helps even out my skin tone making it a great final skincare step before makeup or on no makeup days. The finish is dewy, but not sticky. It's more hydrating than I was expecting, but feels really nice & light. Highly recommend for my dry skin friends, but seems light enough for most skin types.

Mugwort Calming Toner

I know I personally always rave about this...but why do I never see anyone else. I literally always keep a backup.

Dry/Sensitive

Disclosure: I am a Round Lab Ambassador but please know I critically test everything and only share my genuine thoughts. On to the review!🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️ This has been my calming soothing go-to since I got it and I am obsessed! I keep it in the fridge and usually apply it with my hands, but sometimes I'll soak some cotton pads and place them on my chin and cheeks for a few minutes. It soothes my redness and irritation on contact and I'm super grateful for that. I love Mugwort and this toner just does all the things for me. If it sounds like something you'd love I have a 15% discount link in my profile here and on IG.😘 Highly recommend!

💚GOODAL - Green Tangerine Vita C Eye Gel Patch 🛒Best Price $17/60ea - Yesstyle.com 🚨Code B3HAPPY for a discount Why they stand out from others: ✔️Tangerine Matrix Sheet ~Patented Serum Gel Patch made by hardening the active ingredients from the Vita C Spot Care serum into a gel. ✔️Air tight packaging ~I love the little push button cap between the lid & jar that seals completely. Every time you open it you can hear the little "hiss" of air which keeps the patches from drying out. (Swipe for a pic) 💬My experience: Y'all...I love an eye patch moment & while I've tried quite a few, these are my absolute favorite yet. The embossed texture makes them stand out from the rest & really keeps them from sliding off. I can pop these on & move around without having them end up all over the place. I keep them in the fridge (of course) and the gel serum combined with the cold really helps depuff in the morning. While me & vit C don't usually get along, I had zero irritation with these. I'm about half way through them & already plan to buy another jar. I hope to see some brightening & tightening results with more time, but I'll keep buying them for the instant gratification either way. LOVE LOVE LOVE!💛
