Review: Beyond Happy Snail Cream ~
Today I will be reviewing a skincare item called 'Happy Snail Cream' by the brand called 'beyond' ~ I know not many people may be familiar with the brand 'beyond' because they are not extremely popular but they are also part of the LG healthcare ~ I mainly heard about this brand from the youtuber 'hoversjelly' and from several Korean beauty blogs, however I have not seen many reviews of their products from English bloggers ~ shame I only got one product from this brand so I can only review this ~ but I do hope to try other products from them especially their lipsticks Anyways ~ this hasn't got anything to do with the review but I realized I ramble on WAYYY too much and most of you probably don't care about my rambling so from now on I will try and just jump into the review and pictures ~
The word 'Snail' was the biggest thing that caught my eye as I was browsing through Sasa, I've always wanted to try a snail cream as I heard a lot of good things about how it's meant to be amazing as an anti-wrinkle and fading scars cream ~ I don't care much about the anti-wrinkle part yet but 'fading acne scars' that's what sold me
The packaging is sooo cute! ~
The packaging comes in 4 different languages ~ English, Japanese, Chinese and Korean ~
However, majority of the description of the packaging is in Korean including the ingredients list >.< so I am not exactly sure what ingredients are used here ~
This product is Dermatologist Tested, Contains no chemical preservatives, No Chemical Colorants, They are against animal testing, Eco Beauty Lab (have no idea what this means, i'm guessing eco friendly?) and Recyclable packaging ~
Sorry about the price tag being in the way ~ as I mentioned all the other description is in Korean with the little drawing diagrams of how to use the product ~ I find these soooo cute!
This product only has a life span of 9M unlike majority of moisturizers out there which are usually 12M

Manufacturing date ~
this comes with one of them lid stoppers to protect the product and is supposedly helping to make the product last longer without it going bad ~ so I read somewhere, but usually I just find these things annoying haha
The cream inside ~
I have seen many other brands of snail creams; Missha, Etude House,
TonyMoly, Dewytree, It's skin and etc ~ and all of them have very
different textures or consistency ~ some of them are more of a gel like
texture whilst others are more of a thick cream ~ this falls under the
cream category and it is rather 'sticky' though once it's absorbed into
the skin, that stickyness will go away
The thick cream ~
Spread spread spread ~
Pat to finish and your skin will look and feel soooo soft ^_^ ~

Overall Comments:
I actually started using this cream whilst I was staying in Hong Kong because all the samples I brought with me from England were not moisturizing enough for me to use, and even though the weather in Hong Kong is very very humid and hot in Summer time and my make-up was literally melting off my face or I ended up looking like a grease ball by the time I came back from shopping ~ my skin still felt very dehydrated and also dry ~ probably it has to do with the fact that I was wearing make-up for so many hours every day and I was sleeping with the air conditioning on the whole night and we all know that air conditioning can dehydrate the skin a lot ~ therefore, I needed a nourishing and rich cream to help soothe my skin ~
One con I will have to make with this product is that although it comes with 70ml which is quite a lot of product the life span is only for 9 months after you open it ~ meaning you will have to use this up within 9 months and I know some people use up facial creams fairly quickly but you see with me I use two different ones, one in the morning and one in the evening so it takes me forever to use up ~
This cream is very moisturizing and nourishing ~ it would be perfect for those with dehydrated/normal or dehydrated/dry skin types but for me with dehydrated/oily skin currently, this is rather TOO rich for me, even though when I first applied this on my face it makes my skin feel BABY SMOOTH *O* ~ but my skin ends up looking really shiny after a couple of hours of applying this on ~ so I usually use this at night once I remove all my make-up, if you have oily/combination skin definitely do not use this in the day time, even if you don't wear make-up unless you are willing to touch up your face with oil blotting paper or powder every now and then ~
As in terms of being an 'anti-wrinkle' cream I can not talk much about that, as I haven't really experienced any problems with wrinkles or aging yet, but I have not seen any other improvements to my skin in terms of acne scars and whitening ~ however, it does not actually state that it has whitening benefits in this cream ~ I have only used this for around 2 months ~ which may not be enough to see full results yet ~ so I may have to get back to you on this one once I have finished up the whole jar ~ maybe I will start doing empties blogposts or something similar to that as well... we all want to know how a product works as sometimes when I finish up a product my initial thoughts may have changed >.^ ~
Would I Repurchase: No, but I want to try other brands of Snail Creams though
Take Care ~ ♥

Hong Kong Haul Pt 4: Sasa ~
Of course, I couldn't have not went into a SaSa store whilst I was at Hong Kong ~ That is like the #1 beauty store to go to for cosmetics and health supplies! ~ I went to the store located in Jordan, and probably because of the time of day I went there wasn't actually that many people there so I was able to shop around freely and ask for some help from the girls who work there ~ If I had went to a store in Mong Kok or Tsim Sha Tsui I am sure it would have been a lot lot busier ~ >.<
I actually spent a lot in that store, and thankfully my mum helped me pay for some of these items BUT majority, probably around 75-80% of those items were for my friends and families in which they have either asked me to buy for them or they were gifts ~ the rest are mine and my mum's to use XD

That is all for my Sasa haul ~ I also picked up some masks as well, but gave most of them away already ~ I'm only left with one box which I can't find ~ but when I do I will post a review on it ^^
A lot of these items were actually recommendations from bloggers, YouTubers, my friends and family members who have said amazing stuff about these ~ so I wanted to test these out for myself as well
