If this year has taught me anything, it’s that we could all use an extra dose of self care. This can take shape in many forms that involve practicing kindness towards oneself, but for skincare lovers (like myself), it means taking the time to reset, unwind and nourish our skin with calming, restorative rituals — especially if it’s been overlooked during the hustle of earlier months. And if you have someone on your holiday list who could also use a bit of R&R, I have the perfect suggestion to make them (and their skin) happy. Allow me to introduce you: CosRx Snail Mucin Power Sheet Mask.

You’re probably already familiar with the viral sensation that is the CosRx Snail Mucin Power Essence, which has racked up over 56,000 5-star ratings on Amazon. But what if I told you that you could slap on this collagen-boosting, skin-repairing goodness in mask form, allowing you some time to chill out as it works its magic? Lucky for you — and the beauty lover in your life — the CosRx Snail Mucin Power Sheet Mask comes in a set of 10, making it an excellent choice for a thoughtful stocking stuffer or even a white elephant gift.

Receiving the gift of good skin is in their not-so-distant future, because when I say the effects of this are instant, I’m not kidding around. Each mask is drenched in skin-healing snail mucin that is renowned for its reparative and hydrating benefits, helping to target a variety of skin concerns. Redness and irritation? Soothed. The appearance of fine lines? Minimized. Dryness? Reversed. Acne scars? Lightened. Yes, the masks themselves are prettyyy slimy — like the consistency of the essence itself — but the rejuvenation they’ll feel will be immediate.

Personally, I’ve found that spending 20 minutes with this mask on my face breathes new life into my skin — not to mention, the 20 minutes of downtime my mind gets to switch off. Once removed, the remaining product absorbs well into the skin and sits seamlessly under makeup — in fact, I’ve found it leaves my skin more smooth and evened out ready for concealers and foundation. Now those types of benefits, in a word? Priceless. But don’t just take my word for it: thousands of reviewers call the CosRx Snail Mucin Power Sheet Mask their holy grail for hydration, saying it leaves their skin glowing like the 5 stars they’re awarding it. One reviewer said, “From the first use, my skin felt hydrated, plump and incredibly soft. The snail mucin is a miracle ingredient — it calms any irritation and gives my skin a beautiful, dewy glow.”

So, if you know someone who’s been rushed off their feet and could use a bit of TLC this year, or if the holiday period has left you feeling tired and your skin looking parched, let dehydrated skin take a generous gulp of this rejuvenating treat — and get ready to be amazed by the results. Trust me, giving the CosRx Snail Mucin Power Sheet Mask is your ticket to winning the holiday gift exchange.

We’re big fans of the home theater experience — give us a big TV and big sound and we’re all in. But as televisions get larger, it also gets easier to notice small details or pick out flaws in resolution or overall display quality. It takes a special TV to be large enough to be the centerpiece of a true home theater setup while also supplying the right visual wow to the proceedings. And Samsung’s DU7200 series fits the bill.

Now on sale for $200 off on Walmart as part of its Black Friday Deals, this Samsung 85-inch TV is loaded with all the right features to make your video (and audio) experience worthy of dimmed lights and fresh popcorn. Let’s dig into this television’s impressive feature set.

Samsung DU7200B Series 85″ 4K Smart TV, $898 (18% off)

As with most modern TVs, the Samsung DU7200B displays video in 4k resolution, but it also upscales video from lower-resolution sources. If you’re watching an old DVD or television show, you’ll be surprised at how clear it looks on this TV. Sports fans will appreciate the Samsung’s Motion Xcelerator technology, which cuts down on motion lag and blur, giving you a clearer view of fast-moving events. 

Overall brightness and color stay consistent even at sharp viewing angles — which is not always the case for TVs in this price range. We like this smart TV’s auto-contrast capabilities, which automatically adjust brightness and contrast levels so they’re always at their best. The Samsung TV also supports major HDR formats, such as HDR10 and HLG, so you’ll get optimal visuals no matter which format you’re using.

The Samsung DU7200B is also a cut above its competitors when it comes to smart features. It comes equipped with Samsung TV Plus, which gives you access to over 200 channels and 1,000 movies on demand, all for free. (If you have your own video sources like an Amazon Fire Stick or a Blu-ray player, you can connect them directly to the TV via its HDMI inputs.) 

This Samsung TV also has access to gaming apps and game accounts in the cloud so you can indulge in all the latest games without needing a console. You can also use the TV as a smart device hub using the Smart Things app, which lets you control the TV and other smart devices around the house such as lighting or a thermostat.

Tech reviewers sum up the Samsung DU7200B as a great television that doesn’t break the bank, and we agree. We’ll also add that the gargantuan 85-inch version is the perfect way to kickstart your own home theater — and at its current discount price at Walmart, now’s the perfect time to get one!
