Today I have prepared another huge post on Korean Snail Products..please have a look at my video from my blog post for Korean Snail Creams-Part 1 which will give you a good idea of the products I have tried so far before I have purchased products included here for Korean Snail Creams-Part 2. As you guys know i am addicted to Snail creams and always love to try new options:)

Korean Snail Products-Part 1: Tony Moly. Missha. Mizon. Its Skin. Review and Demo

These are the brands I will re-purchase Snail creams from when they come up with new options and formulations:

from my post Korean Snail Creams-Part 1:

1. Tony Moly

2. Elisha Coy

3. It`s Skin

Before you go on to read this post the Conclusion of the Korean Snail Creams-Part 2 is:

The creams I have recommended to try from the Korean Snail Creams-Part 1 have now been outperformed by the top 2 products in the Korean Snail Creams-Part 2  

1. Scinic Snail matrix Cream

2. Skin Watchers Intensive Snail cream (with Epidermal growth Factors)

My recommendation however still stands on the products I have recommended in the 1st Part….so do try those…but my Must have products are the two products I have listed above.

My judgement is based on the Results I am able to get with the product, Quality of the product, % of Snail secretion Filtrate, Inclusion of the Latest ingredients and Pricing of the product…where I strive to find the most cost effective option which delivers all of the above.

And now my 2nd video on Korean Snail Creams-Part 2

No 1 Winner from both Battles.

Scinic Snail matrix Cream

Gmarket is the best place to buy it from as part of a set or on its own…my repurchase of this product will be on Gmarket, I will go for their Super Size deal-10 USD for 120 ml. As you guys know I already did a couple of reviews on the Scinic brand and many of my Must Have product come from this brand so I think  for a cream that has 23% snail secretion filtrate, peptides, adenosine, and Epidermal Growth Factors given the quality and the price tag…in my opinion this is an unbeatable combination thus far.

I actually have their whole snail line, toner, emulsion, essence, cream, eye cream and a Scinic Snail BB cream which is also another one of my must have products...I will be doing a separate post on the Scinic snail line as well in the near future…so stay tuned for that:)

btw-this whole set is only 34 USD on Gmarket

Scinic Ingredients from the packaging:

No 2 Place

Skin Watchers Green Snail Intensive Cream

very good cream, good fluffy texture, rich but not greasy feel, good price —-15.98 USD from Ebay …my repurchase will be from Gmarket through as this brand offers good deals through their direct store on Gmarket …so I will be repurchasing this cream and purchasing more from this brand from Gmarket

note an interesting difference here as posted on by the Australian distributor for this brand:

snail mucus imported from France (French mucus is the only one that has been through stringent stability testing) compared to competitors which use untested mucus from Chile, China, USA.

No 3 Place

Secret Key Snail + EGF gel Cream….I am very impressed with this gel as the best gel type snail cream I have tried thus far even though the gel texture is light, the EGF here give my skin a very nice texture and even colour. The price is great ….around 10-13 USD widely available on both Ebay and Gmarket

I have two more products from Secret Key Snail line and I am very impressed with all three products which I will do a separate post on and will try more from this Brand as well…so stay tuned for that:)

No 4 Place

Nutree Jaminkyung Original Crema Caracol followed by Intensive cream

I have got both the Original and the Intensive cream….Original is my favorite and is evidently a Best Seller as well…overall I am impressed by this brand and will be buying more snail products from it to try…..best place to shop for it is : http://en.koreadepart.com/

Most of the information available on this brand is in Korean…for English info please visit…..http://en.koreadepart.com/…..they often do great deals on this product and it is always a best selling Snail line for this online store…..regular deals include 3 creams for 24 USD….the best selling deal is a combination of two original creams and one intensive cream.

I have put it in fourth place for me…because it is more geared toward oily-combination to normal skin and my top pics for snail creams are good for normal to dry skin type with an oily t-zone…which is basically my skin type.

No 5 Place 

Elensilia Escargot Original Repair Cream

Elensilia Escargot Original Repair Cream—this is a gel type cream 22 USD for 50 ml on Ebay …..this is a nice gel cream…which I like but I will only re-purchase if I find a good deal on Gmarket….the good thing about this brand is that they have their store on the Gmarket where they offer many deals direct to the customer..so when I decide to repurchase it..it will definitely be on Gmarket and not Ebay.

The last product I like but I will not repurchase because I dont think it is worth the price being asked is:

Snail White Cream from Thailand—-apparently it is a best seller over there….I love the hygienic packaging, nice firming and brigtening effect and the ingredients are very good…but the cheapest price I found for it was 47 USD on Ebay…and whilst I am enjoying using this product….it is not worth to me so much to re-purchase it for this price tag.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secret Key CC Cushion Foundation Review and Demo


Hi everybody:)

I am super excited today to let you know about my new Must Have Liquid Foundation product.

This product is a CC Cushion Foundation.

My very first one is from Secret Key and it has a super natural glow finish which can be built up to medium coverage with absolutely no caking. The coverage lasts all day and it is in my opinion the most natural look possible to achieve with a face foundation product. On top of all of the above amazing features, this product is designed with a refill feature, it is very lightweight and has a sun protecting factor in it.

None of the Westrern Brands have got anything remotely similar. However this product s a huge craze in Asia and I am sure that just like Western brands have copied the Asian BB and CC creams, we are bound to see some Western brands copy this product too in a year or so if not sooner:)

Extra features of this type of product include different colours and different finishes, such as: cover, glow, dewy, normal. Checkout options of this product from Etude House.

Here is official Etude House commercial of this product-it comes in different colours and finishes.

The Secret Key brand only has one colour now and one finish which is-glow. Even in its limited capacity, I love this product.

As amazing as it sounds, there are even a couple more cool way to use it.

Cool tips on using this product and product demo is in my new little video.

I hope you guys will enjoy it:)

I got mine from Ebay for 15.90 USD from f2plus1 Store

The Cushion product that started the Cushion Foundation Craze is:

Hera UV Mist Cushion-it has won multiple Asian Beauty Awards since its launch and will definetly be the next refill product I will try and slot into my Secret Key compact.

In fact I can see myself trying many of these from many different brands because it is such a pleasure to use.

Here is official Hera commercial of this product-it comes in different colours and finishes.
