COSRX Snail Power Trio Review: Snail 92 Cream, Snail 96 Essence & Hydrogel Mask

If you’re into skincare that delivers hydration, repair, and a healthy glow, you’ve probably heard of COSRX’s snail mucin products. Known for their soothing and healing properties, snail mucin has become a holy grail ingredient for many skincare lovers. Today, I’m sharing my experience with three star products from COSRX’s snail line: the Snail 92 All In One Cream, Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, and the Snail Hydrogel Mask.

                              

What’s the Buzz About Snail Mucin?

Snail mucin is packed with nourishing ingredients like glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants. It’s famous for its ability to hydrate deeply, boost skin regeneration, calm irritation, and improve overall texture. COSRX has harnessed this magic ingredient in multiple forms, making it easy to incorporate into your routine.

COSRX Snail 92 All In One Cream

Texture & Application

The cream has a lightweight gel-cream texture that absorbs quickly without leaving any sticky residue. It feels refreshing and hydrating on the skin, making it suitable for all skin types—including oily and combination skin.

Performance

I noticed my skin felt instantly plumper and softer after application. It’s incredibly soothing, especially on days when my skin felt sensitive or irritated. Over time, my skin tone appeared more even, and minor redness was visibly reduced. The moisture lasts throughout the day without feeling heavy or greasy.

Ideal for those looking for a multitasking moisturizer that hydrates, calms, and supports skin barrier repair without weighing skin down.

COSRX Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence

Texture & Application

This essence has a light, watery-gel consistency that spreads easily and absorbs quickly. It layers beautifully under serums or moisturizers.

Performance

The Snail 96 Essence is ultra-hydrating and really helps prep the skin for the next steps in my routine. I noticed improved skin texture and a healthy glow with regular use. It’s particularly good for healing post-acne marks and redness thanks to the high concentration of snail mucin.

Ideal for anyone who wants a lightweight, hydrating booster that calms inflammation and supports skin repair.

COSRX Snail Hydrogel Mask

Texture & Fit

The hydrogel mask is soft, cooling, and adheres well to the contours of the face. It’s soaked in a serum rich in snail mucin and botanical extracts.

Performance

After 20 minutes, my skin felt intensely hydrated and looked visibly plumper and more radiant. The mask soothed any irritation and left no sticky residue—just a fresh, dewy finish. Perfect for a quick skin reset or self-care day.

Ideal for a hydration boost and calming treatment, especially if your skin needs extra TLC or recovery from environmental stressors.

Final Thoughts

COSRX’s snail products truly deliver on their promises of hydration, repair, and soothing benefits. The Snail 92 Cream is a versatile moisturizer that works well year-round, while the Snail 96 Essence provides an excellent hydrating base for layering. The Snail Hydrogel Mask is a fantastic treat for quick recovery and glow.

Together, they make a powerful trio for anyone wanting to enhance their skin’s natural barrier, reduce redness, and boost moisture levels. Whether you’re new to snail mucin or a longtime fan, these products are definitely worth trying!

          

       

Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick Review - Rosy Glow and Pinky Glow Swatchs

Charlotte Tilbury has done it again—adding to her glow-enhancing empire with the new Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick. These blush sticks have been buzzing in the beauty world, and after trying out the shades Rosy Glow and Pinky Glow, I’ve got thoughts. Whether you’re after that fresh-from-a-facial flush or want an easy, on-the-go glow, this might be the product you've been waiting for. 

First Impressions & Packaging

Let’s start with the packaging. The blush stick comes in a sleek, matte tube—very on-brand and easy to slip into your handbag. It has a twist-up design, making it practical for quick touch-ups throughout the day. However, the tube does feel quite lightweight. For a premium product, I was expecting something with a bit more heft and luxury in-hand. That said, the minimalist design is chic and the stick format makes it super travel-friendly and mess-free.                        

Texture & Formula

The formula is where this blush really shines. Infused with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and other skin-loving elements, the texture is creamy, blendable, and smooth as butter. It glides onto the skin and melts in beautifully—no harsh lines or patchiness here.

It’s a balm-meets-blush hybrid that gives skin a juicy, hydrated glow. Perfect for dry or normal skin types. Oily skin may want to pair this with a setting powder, as it has that dewy finish that can get a little shiny over time.

The Shades: Rosy Glow vs Pinky Glow

Rosy Glow

This shade is a warm, rosy pink that looks super natural on the skin. It mimics that healthy flush you get after a brisk walk. It’s one of those universally flattering shades that adds life to your face instantly. I love how it blends out effortlessly and leaves a soft sheen behind—not glittery, just radiant.

Pinky Glow

This one is a cool-toned, bright pink that might look intimidating in the tube, but it sheers out beautifully. A little goes a long way. You only need a light tap for a fresh, playful flush. It’s especially flattering on fair to medium skin tones, giving that just-pinched, youthful look. If you love a pop of colour that still feels soft and wearable, this is the one.

Performance & Wear

Both shades are highly pigmented but super easy to blend, which makes them beginner-friendly. I found that dabbing a small amount with my fingers gave me the best results—it warms up the product and allows for better blending. A dense brush works too if you want more precision.

As for longevity, the blush lasted well throughout the day. It did start to fade after several hours, especially on warmer days, but the colour faded evenly and gracefully—no patchiness or dryness.

Multipurpose magic: You can also dab a little on your lips for a matching monochrome look.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick is a gorgeous addition to any makeup bag. The formula is lush, the shades are stunning and the finish is that ideal dewy-but-not-greasy glow. Rosy Glow gives a more classic, romantic flush, while Pinky Glow offers something a bit brighter and bolder—both are equally beautiful.

If you're someone who loves a cream blush that feels lightweight, blends like a dream and gives you that lit-from-within glow, this is 100% worth trying. The price tag is on the higher end, but the quality and finish make it a lovely little luxury.

Would I repurchase? Absolutely—especially Rosy Glow. It’s become a go-to in my daily routine.

Dossier Perfume Review

If you love high-end designer fragrances but not the high-end price tag, you’ve probably heard of Dossier. Over the past couple of years, Dossier has absolutely exploded online, and it’s easy to see why — they offer affordable, high-quality fragrance impressions that smell incredibly close to the original designer scents.

The Idea Behind Dossier

Dossier was founded with a simple but brilliant idea: make luxury-inspired perfumes accessible to everyone. By cutting out the designer branding, fancy packaging, and celebrity marketing, they’re able to offer clean, vegan, cruelty-free fragrances at a fraction of the price — usually around £29-£39, compared to £100+ for many designer perfumes.

Each Dossier fragrance is “inspired by” a well-known designer perfume — and if you check their website, they tell you exactly which one they’re duping. The bottles are simple, elegant, and the focus is purely on the scent.

I’ve been testing out three of their most viral scents: Amber Cherry, Floral Marshmallow, and Gourmand White Flowers — here’s my honest review of each one:

Fat Cow Skin Review: Is the Viral Tallow Face Cream & Body Cream Worth the Hype?

                                                         

If you’ve been scrolling through TikTok or Instagram lately, you’ve probably seen Fat Cow Skin popping up everywhere. This small-batch skincare brand has gone viral thanks to its ultra-nourishing, tallow-based creams — and after seeing so many rave reviews, I knew I had to try them for myself.

Tallow skincare has seen a huge resurgence recently. For those new to it: tallow is rendered beef fat (in this case, from grass-fed cows), and it’s packed with vitamins A, D, E, K, plus skin-friendly fatty acids. It’s also incredibly similar to the natural oils in our skin — meaning it helps nourish, protect, and restore without any unnecessary fillers. In a world full of complicated skincare routines, this simple, old-school ingredient has really struck a chord.
