Weekend (s)Trip!

Hi guise!

How's your weekend?  I spent my weekend stripping my face off with these three different pore strips. These are my to-go pore strip products, which are effective and very affordable. My favorite is The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Nose Strip, which is really good in extracting those icky blackhead and whiteheads off your nose. Hope you had a great weekend!

The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Nose Strip Review

Hi Guise!

It's been a while again.  Have I told you that I am with a new company now?  I'm still adjusting with everything. It's a whole lot of new stuff for me: new place, new company, new environment, new time frame.  Ironically, it's not that so much of a challenge - in terms of the work, that is. The transition is quite smooth, though I have a lot of sacrifices to go through.

Anyhoo,

Not so long ago, I bought myself some stuff. One of them is The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip.  I have been meaning to buy them before but I just got the chance.

At the back of the pack, you'll see the its features and ingredients. You'll also see its instructions in English and in Korean. There are also pictures on how to do it.  It makes the application easy!

Instructions, ingredients and features can be seen at the back of the pack. It has Korean and English texts. No need to translate it. :D

How to apply the The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip

Step 1:
Wash face, leaving nose thoroughly wet. 

Step 2:
Remove the clear lining from the strip.

Step 3:
Apple across the bridge of the nose, pressing down firmly to ensure maximum contact. 

Step 4:
Let dry for 10-15 minutes until the strip had hardened. 

Step 5:
Slowly peel off strip.

You'll be amazed on how much black and white heads it can pull out of your pores.

I know this  is gross but let me tell you, this product works!

I'm really impressed with this nose strip.  It removed most, if not all, of the gunk stuck on my nose pores - especially on the sides of my nose.  This is a must have for that weekly pampering.

Sadly, I don't really remember how much one pack costs.  I guess it's around Php 40 for one (1) pack and a box of six (6) costs more or less Php 200.  I will update you on that. :D

What I like with The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip:

• Affordable (will update you on the price :D)
• Easy to apply
• Effectively gets unwanted gunk
• No reaction

What I don't like with The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip:

• Nothing!

How 'bout you, have you tried the The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava nose strip?  Please do share your thoughts about it. :3

Etude House Missin U Black Charcoal Chin Pack Review

Hello there!

How are you after long absence?

I am pretty well preoccupied with my job and what not.  It has been a ride along the treacherous tides and now, once again, I am enjoying the calm before another storm.

However, I am going to share to you a ride that hasn't calmed yet.  I am still riding the tide on the browse for a good chin patch.  I have tried the Etude House Black Charcoal Chin Pack but I didn't think about writing my thoughts about it.  This time I have tried another variant from Etude House, which is the Etude House Missin U Black Charcoal Chin Pack.

Missin U Black Charcoal Chin Pack in Eagle Owl.

Etude House Missin U Black Charcoal Chin Pack (#01 Eagle Owl) sports a pink, cute packaging with an owl or eagle (as the name suggests) with a chin patch.  Who can't resist to that? It's weird and cute and the same for me.

The back of the package gives Korean and Korean-English translations of the features, directions and ingredients.  It also has a mini story of the Eagle Owl (weird bird ^o^)

Directions and Ingredients

 I apologize with the photos.  It seems there's something wrong that I cannot figure.  

The Etude  House Missin U Black Charcoal Chin Patch effectively get out the gunk and cleanses out the chin pores from sebum.  The length of the patch just fits right from the corners of my mouth.

Fits perfectly like a glove.

Can you see all those white heads?

After fifteen minutes, my chin was so clean and smooth!  However, after a few days, my chin feels a little rough and I guess there are white heads again.... Well, you can't just eliminate them all in one go, right?  I guess like the nose patches and masks,  cleansing out your face with this helps eliminates or minimizes the appearance of white heads and black heads.

It's a good product but I think I haven't found my go-to chin patch yet.  So, I'm going to keep sailing and look for good chin patches.

Till then, see you soon!  Thanks for reading! ^__^

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. (^_^)
