Watsons Nose Pore Strips Review


Bought these item because of erikajjang, saw her review and i immediately decided to try these out..

Unlike the TM's egg line, i observed that this does not cause my pores to enlarge and results are very visible even if you didn't take before and after photos of your nose.

For 10 strips 109+ php


individually wrapped too


here's the actual unused pore strip


the instructions were stated at the packaging, here's my version :

1. Clean nose area
2. Dry hands and let the nose area wet,
3. place the nose strip, and let it stay there for 15 minutes
4. after 15 minutes, peel off strip and wash residue with water.

here's the result :



Pros :
  • Locally available
  • SUPER CHEAP PRICE
  • EFFECTIVE
  • does not make my pores even bigger
  • not time consuming
  • i can't describe smell but it was not that much noticeable
  • does not contain paraben
Cons :
  • none so far

Tony Moly Egg Pore Set

Annyeong! how's everyone? must be sleeping tight? or watching k-dramas online? haha

Here's my review for TM's Egg pore set, but i wasn't lucky enough to get the third piece.

Here is an image of TM's endorser..ooops i mean the product line.


So here's what i got, the step1 and step2 only. I came for step3 in TM's stores for how many times but     i really can't find one.




 Here's my before picture, from my bare eyes i don't have that much of blackheads but whiteheads, there's a lot.



Step 1 : stayed for 30 mins, then washed off with water.



Step2 : same with step 1.



My After pictures :



Verdict :

Pros:
  • Effective (Put on some effort, open up your pores first before applying step1) Steam your face or damp hot towel on the area.
  • Does not sting much
  • Smell was ok. Except for step 2 but still bearable.
Cons:
  • You'll feel tightening upon step2 application but it really did not make the pores smaller
I found the product effective on "removing" but not on making my pores smaller after, with my existing problem i wouldn't risk using the product again, used it twice. 
Even if i didn't have signs of irritation like itchyness, there are some areas the turn my skin reddish, so i think that's also irritation :)

So what should i do with such expensive product that's only used twice, blog sale? or in the giveaway? Comment in Dearies. :)

A Peek on Etude House Nymph Aura Baby Glow Balm

This is the first time i'm gonna use the Volumer thing, because as you all know i have an oily skin, and i think another shine won't be good to look at, but lately i feel like so dry i need to moisturize. So I decided to try these on. Except it looks cute it sparkles in my eyes. lol





Partial Verdict :

Pros:
  • Cute Packaging!
  • Handy, Travel Friendly
  • Applicator
  • No parabens!
Cons:
  • None so far :)



A Peek on Missha Swirl BB Sun Balm

Today i got my second BB in a balm :)

I'm so far loving it. :) I will make a review this week.

For now let's take a peek on it, i bought it on eBay

It was sent via Air21, and i was so surprised that it arrived earlier than expected, also the freebies, i thought i wouldn't get any since i purchased an item only. It was such a great deal because it costs Php800.00 free shipping.

I canvassed the said item at Missha Landmark Trinoma, and guess what? Php1,7++.00 I was like WTF? is there a gold in there? Well in the Official website if you convert the product price from dollars to Peso it would cost around Php1,000.00 without shipping fee.
But why can't Missha lower their price? and also Skinfood, they're like thousand bucks higher price.
I'm just curious, good thing Etude House,Tony Moly and The face shop does not do the same thing.

 












Partial Verdict :

Pros:
  • Packaging Color
  • Boomer,Essence,BB all in one
  • Big Mirror
  • SPF 50+
  • Does not have PARABENS!
  • Travel Friendly
Cons:
  • Epic Price locally
  • Foam smells weird

Holika Holika Fairy Water Pure Aqua Cream Review

This is my second item from Holika Holika Brand, I was looking for a Paraben-Free moisturizer for oily skin but i can't find any that was on-hand or available locally, after seeing the description and the color lol, i want to gave it a try. I saw the english description in here : MORE INFO


which says :

Description
 : Formulated with chamomile water, fairy water.
 : Provides moisture for watery skin
 : Artificial scent free, artificial pigment free, benzophenone free, mineral oil free, paraben free, alcohol free.

The most important part is that bold font.

I got my item from : Hipstyle Online Shop



Even though it's not meant for Oily Skin, i still did not hesitate to use it because my skin needs to moisturize also :) I think for the Fairy Water Line, the blue one was for oily skin.



The cream was like EH's moist full creams, it's like a gel cream that is easily absorbed by the skin.




Pros :
  • Easily absorbed by the skin
  • Does not make me oily like a fish is the only thing left and you can already fry on my face.
  • Easy to apply
  • I love the smell, it's not so strong
  • Available here : Hipstyle Online Shop
  • UPDATE : Now available locally at SM Fairview! ;)
Stay Moisturized! ♥


Etude House Bubble Hair Coloring in #1 (Deep Black)

So I got tired of my orange hair lol. my ugly roots are already showing, here's the proof :

The pictures was actually last week and this week i just wanna try the clip-on bangs from Etude House which i will buy maybe tomorrow, so i decided to go back to black.


Back to black :)



What's inside was basically the same with the sweet orange package, but here i was able to get a picture from another blog : *credits goes to http://lotuspalace.blogspot.com*


Instructions are written in Hanggul but with the helpful images and this tutorial by : 
http://shewalksinbeautyy.blogspot.com/2012/08/review-etude-house-hot-style-bubble.html
this is her instruction :
  1. Wear the gloves and vinyl gown provided.
  2. Pour the sachet of hair coloring (#1) into the pumping bottle with oxidizer (#2). Screw the cap back on, including the stopper to lock.
  3. Tilt the from side to side about six times for the solution to mix. Do not shake it! You would notice that the solution would heat up a bit. Remove the stopper.
  4. Pump out the bubbles and apply it evenly on your hair. Start from your roots to your tips.Massage your scalp so that the color would spread. It's as simple as applying shampoo. Use up all of the contents in the bottle so that your hair would be completely covered in foam.
  5. Let the foam stay on your head for 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how much you want the color to take into effect. You would notice that the color of the foam would change the longer it stays on your hair. The purple suds turned brown in mine.
  6. Rinse your hair. Use the Silky Perfumed Treatment as a conditioner to make your hair soft and smooth.
  7. Dry your hair and see the results.
