@fiddysnails on IG

Something different to end the workweek: flashback to one of the best meals I've eaten all year, with great family company ❤️

Shooting the Kadi Cleanser for the @holysnails IG brought back some memories, so here's an outtake and some memories! I remember Chel coming up with the idea for this cleanser while she, Cat @snowwhiteandthepear, and I were in NYC visiting Tracy @fanserviced, all the way back in April of 2017. She wanted to create a low pH foaming pump cleanser with silk and honey for skin softening. (I'm pretty sure Chel was braiding my hair and/or Cat's hair while we were talking about the cleanser idea.) Eight months of development later, she launched Kadi on the Holy Snails website. It took that long because Kadi, like everything else Chel makes, is designed from the ground up, and she takes so much time and care to make sure it's right. Working with Chel is a dream. We always joke that we're really one entity (because WE ARE), but, real talk, we have a pretty much identical approach to basic skincare, including our strong feelings about low pH cleansers. Chel sent me this bottle of Kadi for my son. He uses it every night. And sometimes I feel free to steal some for myself, especially when my face is feeling dry or thin, because I love it too. And I love Chel! #holysnails #lowphcleanser #facewash #cleansingfoam #dryskinrelief #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #indiebeauty #instaskincare #skinstagram #originstory

It's been a while since I reviewed any #eyemasks, but better late than never! . Product provided by @dr.gloderm. . Out of all the products the brand sent me, including the blue balls cream, these Open Your Eyes! eye masks for daytime are my favorite by far. . I keep these in the fridge and use them whenever I don't need to rush out the door in the morning. They're superhero mask style rather than undereye patch style. I prefer the superhero shape, since they don't slide around or try to make a run for it down my cheek before I can lie back down. . These masks' hydrogel material is quite pliable. People with bigger eyes than mine might find the eye holes on the small side, but the masks stretch to fit and stay put once smoothed down. . They come packaged in a lightweight gel essence. The essence absorbs thoroughly into skin over the course of a 15-20 minute session: many masks are nice for night but unsuitable for day because of the way the leftover essence balls up on skin under sunscreen and/or makeup. I never have that problem with these masks. Once I take them off, the skin underneath feels just about bare, except better. . They also don't mess up makeup if I feel like throwing one on on the middle of the day, as long as I pull them off carefully and don't rub the area afterwards! . As for effects, I find these nicely plumping, giving a little extra bounce and smoothness to the skin around my eyes. Smile lines look shallower for the rest of the day. They have a mild brightening and depuffing effect for me as well, which is helpful on mornings after a night of shitty sleep. I've tried them unchilled as well and still noticed depuffing, so it is the masks, not just the refrigeration. . The brand is still working on getting everything up on their Amazon storefront, but I believe these should be available there soon. Good thing, because I definitely want more. . Ingredients in the comments! There's nothing I personally find objectionable, though those with eyes that are sensitive to fragrance may want to give these a pass. . #kbeauty #koreanskincare #morningskincare #eyecare #eyemask #beautyreview #instaskincare #instabeauty #skinstagram #skincarediary
