Welcome to my blog!

Skin Type: Oily/Acne Prone. Combo in the winter.

As an avid reader, I can spend all day on a blog learning about new products and the miracles they can perform on my crap skin. Something I haven’t had time for in a very long time is sitting there and reading about what this specific ingredient can do for this specific skin type, pH levels, and pretty much anything technical beyond waiting 20 minutes for my chemical exfoliants to work their silent magic on my face. What I love is straight forward product reviews and discussions that don’t take 20 minutes of speed reading to lead into. I want to scroll down and see “I love it”, “I hate it”, or “meh” with before and after photos so presentable I NEED TO BUY THEIR ENTIRE ROUTINE BECAUSE WHO NEEDS TO PAY BILLS ANYWAY, AMIRITE?!

What I want to present to the AB community is a place where they can get their review ‘rocks off’ so to speak and decide within 15 minutes or so if the product they’ve been researching the last couple of days is worth the 2-3 week postage anticipation. And believe me, I’ve been disappointed before. *cough* Heroine Make Volume and Curl *cough*

Here at Holy Grail Snail, the idea is to help you make an informed decision without bias. No paid sponsors. No free product. Just my lack of self-control at it’s finest. Below are a list of some products I include in my regular routine that I can give you a solid, photo-heavy product review on. Just comment with that you would like to see and maybe some recommendations. I try to get a new item or two a week so all suggestions are welcome.
