Last weeks finds from Saizen

Happy Easter! It seems I can't explain how my previous post got lost.

Anyway, last week, we went to Saizen and I found these:



I bought a netfoam and an eyebrow pencil.

A closer look:

Netfoam - I have been wanting to have this and thank God I found one.



Eyebrow Pencil - The EH branches I've been to don't have any stocked refills. Though, I still have a portion of my EH drawing eyebrow pencil and my Shawill two way eyebrow cake, I bought the pencil for backup! Eyebrow makeup is kinda important to me. LOL



I'm quite happy with what I found. They're kind of small luxuries to me.

How about you? Have you found some small luxuries?

Blogging Through The Phone For Daiso Charcoal Natural Pack Overview

I successfully posted a test post from my droid to my blogs. It's so convenient especially if you are in the mood for blogging on the eleventh hour. But it's hard to blog without hard keys to type on. Still, I want to try another post with images!

Two nights ago, I tried out Daiso Charcoal Natural Pack. I bought it from Saizen for only Php 85. It's dirt cheap! I bought it because I want to try out the promises of this pack and experience the reviews of other bloggers who tried this out. And, I don't have a go-to product yet for extracting those pesky black and white heads. So, this would be worth a try.


Daiso Charcoal Natural Pack

The Daiso Charcoal Natural Pack has a black, watery fluid that is easy to spread. It doesn't have a stinging alcohol-like smell. And a thin layer quite do the job. I noticed that when it you pull it out after it dries, it is still stretched out and doesn't really crumple to its self while you pull it.

Contrary to other reviews, it's not really that painful to pull out. Maybe because I have a high pain tolerance or it's because I just endured the pain. Either way, it's not that painful. I noticed, however, that as it dries, you can feel a tighetening sensation. When I moved my nose (I tried it on my nose first), it's quite tight but I guess it somehow helped to make the pulling easier.

I agree with one blog writer that somehow said, effectivity does not really happen overnight and one-time usage doesn't conclude effectivty. I still have to do a couple more tries to say how effective this is. You know, you can only put on a pack or mask once or twice a week. So, I will not conclude on the effectivity yet.

I also bought the other Daiso Nose Pack before so I might do some comparative review of the charcoal one versus the other. :)

This is it for now about the Daiso Charcoal Natural Pack and for blogging on the phone. It's quite hard without using any hard keys or a keyboard. But it's convenient and somehow perfect for me who wants to blog anytime when inspiration surges.

Till next time! Have you tried the Daiso Charcoal Natural Pack yet? Please do share. (^_^)

Fitting Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil Refill In A Non-Etude House Product

A month ago, I finished up the retractable eyebrow pencil from Saizen. It lasted for around three to four months. I bought it around November or December last year. And I'm still left with a tad of it.

Retractable Eyebrow Pencil from Saizen

A little stump of the eyebrow pencil. 

 When I ventured there (to Saizen) to purchase another type of  retractable eyebrow pencil , similar to the one that I had, it was nowhere to be found! Unfortunately, the only Saizen is in one Ayala mall here and it doesn't have the shade and the type of eyebrow pencil that I wanted. Sigh. So I resolved to purchase a sharpen-type pencil from the same store. But, I'm bad with sharpening even with just normal pencils. It couldn't even last decently for a month.

The Sharpen-type Eyebrow Pencil

I'm not really good with sharpening of this kind.

I checked ebay again for some retractable eyebrow pencils that is cheap and affordable. I found out Etude House has some and they have some refills! And with that, I checked the Etude House in our local mall and thank God, there's one with the shade that I am for.

The Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil Refill is priced at Php 78. I found in an ebay store and it is sold for  Php 75, which is cheaper by Php 3 but plus shipping fee, it would still  be overpriced. I'm glad that I checked the Etude House first. (^o^)

 Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil Refill

There's only one refill in that kind-of-a-matchbox-box. Nonetheless, it's just Php 78 pesos and hopefully it can last around three to four months. Still, depending on the individual use. If you flip the box on to its other side, there's no English instructions whatsoever to tell you how to refill your eyebrow pencil. But it is easy to figure it all out.

On the Saizen's retractable eyebrow pencil , you can't see English texts for its features or ingredients but there's an English translation of what it is, the caution note and where it is made from.

No English instructions except for the company name and where it is made from. I guess, you just have to figure it out on your own how to install the refill.

A parallel translation of Eyebrow Pencil in  English and in Japanese.

Can you see the caution note? That's big plus, don't you think?

It's also made in Korea despite being a Japanese product.

Because I don't have the Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil per se, I was skeptical about whether or not it might fit perfectly. The Etude House Drawing Eyebrow Pencil  refill has a bigger tip. The Saizen retractable eyebrow pencil has a smaller tip. The length is almost the the same. But the Etude one has a fatter body.

They have almost the same lengths. The Etude one (the one at the top) looks a little fat than the Saizen one (the one at the bottom).

 But it perfectly fits well and even with the cap!

Thank God it fitted well! I don't have to scour the shelves of Saizen for a retractable eyebrow pencil that fits my need! They have some pointy types and some brands that have some refills  of their own but either it's not to my liking or it isn't the right shade. Though it is just dirt cheap for Php 85, I rather buy the refill from Etude House. It'll save me some Php 7 pesos and it's the one that I am looking for. 

I think I am solved for my eyebrow tool worries! How about you, what kind of eyebrow tool do you use? Please do share. (^o^)
