From the vault (April 2017): The snails gather at Tracy’s House and talk about the products they found inside. First in-person meeting of @thesnailcast was a smashing success! Much food was eaten, much #kbeauty browsing was done, we recorded a couple of episodes, and we even went and caught EXO in concert! I love the girls even more now that I’ve squeezed them for real. Also, we’re doing a sheet mask exchange because of course. . #thesnailcast #snailsquad #snailunit #rasianbeauty #abcommunity #sheetmaskaddict #????
