Product Review: Mizon Snail Recovery Gel Cream
Today, I will be reviewing my current moisturizer: Mizon’s Snail Recovery Gel Cream. After my issues with Cerave PM, I searched reddit and various Asian skincare blogs for other product options.

Product Review: The Face Shop Real Nature Lemon Citron Sheet Mask
Today, I’ll be reviewing my very first sheet mask: The Face Shop’s Real Nature Lemon Citron Sheet Mask.
