Thailand Blackhead Carbon Mask Review

Hi guys!

I wanted to do the ulzzang-transformation buuuuuut I have a huge (and I mean HUGE) problem with my mouth area right now. Not only is it filled with bacteria-filled pimples, I also have lip herpes (No, it's not an std. I've had lip-herpes since I was six). So I am in treatment for that, but it looks awful, so I'm pushing the look untill I look 'normal' again. Thanks for the patience! Meanwhile, I will do a review (pictures are taken before lipherpes) on this really awesome blackhead mask!

I bought this really small mask on ebay for about 5$ which really isn't expensive! The item is from Thailand but was shipped surprisingly fast so yay! I am hoping I can find the same in a bigger size, because so far this is actually the best pore-mask I've been able to find! It's so effective, but sadly so small. 

Now, we all hate pores and black heads don't we? I know I do, a lot! I used to buy these nose-pads, but I find masks easier because who says you only have blackheads on your nose? As for me, I have them on my nose, forehead and some on my cheeks. And with a mask you can easily apply and remove blackheads exactly where you want to! 

I apologize for the unsharp pictures, I am still learning how to use my camera.




Ignore my ugly no makeup face hahah ~
It looks so strange, like a skeleton, so don't go on a date with your bf with this mask! It's just for home and for hiding! Haha ~



It's a lovely peel-off mask. After 15-20 minutes the mask is dry, you can peel it off gently by the edges. If there's leftovers just rinse with water.When you peel off you can see your black and whiteheads getting pulled out with the dirty mask! Just trash the dirty piece and your nose is clean and nice, almost like new! (wtf?) 


Hoping my lip herpes will recover soon so I can continue the different tutorials. Untill then, enjoy the review!

Holika Holika Pig-nose Clear Blackhead Deep Cleansing Oil Balm Review

Hi!

Sorry that I'm late with me review. Exams are making me busy, and I broke my charger, so before I run out of power (onr hour) I wanted to post this review on my newest bough korean skincare product!


These are all the items that came in the package. Two testers on a the SKINFOOD Deep Sea Water Multi Gel and SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Foam. They will both later be tried and tested, wohoo! 

And of course the product of this review: Holika Holika Pig-nose Clear Blackhead Deep Cleansing Oil Balm


Two cute testers! 

The packeging is so, so cute! This is the first Holika Holika product I've ever purchased, so it's really exciting! 


I don't read korean, so I had to check up with the buyer about the information. They said, that you should apply the balm on your black heads for 5-10 minutes and wash off wih lukewarm water. 

This is what the insides look like. Applied on the nose it just becomes transparent with a lot of 'shine'. Like putting transparents slime on your nose/chin/cheek/forehead or whereever your pores are! The smell is a little too strong for me, a very strong sweet lemon-smell. 


So what do I think of the product? I've been using it 2-3 times a week along with nosestrips. I like it a lot, and I'm positive about it! My pores are almost gone now, and with makeup completely invisible. It leaves a nice cool and fresh feeling after washing it off, and there's so much product in the container! 
Other than that, it's quite cheap too, and arrived just after 14 days. Super! 


Have a pretty pignose, get those pores clean! ~
 (Did not actually taste it, but with the strong smell, it's almost tempting!)

Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream Review

Hi everyone! 

I have super many upcoming reviews, and I feel like I keep getting more and more skincare and makeup (yesterday invested in 5 makeup products!) but I try my best! 


This is my personal review of my first Etude House product ever! I've heard so much good about Etude House. Etude House is a very popular southkorean makeup/skincare-brand known for making ulzzang-makeup and products for sensitive asian skin! Unfortunately my skin isn't "asian" (oh really?), but I'll give it a shot. 
The western BB creams are a lot darker than the asian ones because the 'beauty' in asia is pale skin, while here tan skin is more popular. I am naturelly dead-pale and that's why asian bb creams fit my skin more. 

I recieved my BB cream SO quickly, I barely waited 14 days, and shipping was free! Thought it was a little pricey, but so worthy, this came to me in my mailbox! (Blurred out my adress)



This is (long name, I know): Etude House Precious Mineral Sun BB Cream with SPF 50


Whitening & Anti-wrinkle, Anti-darkening, and long lasting and waterproof, plus SPF 50? Is this not too much to ask for? I LOVE IT!


Here's the BB Cream, it comes with an automatic sponge-applicator which I prefer using because it covers super well! You can take the sponge-applicator off if you want to. 


(On this picture I had already tried it on for reviewing purposes before taking a picture. The sponge was pure white and unused before of course!)

The sponge is SUPER SOFT. Like petting a bunny or hugging a teddybear! *___* 

Look how pale it is? 


Here I am naked-faced, wearing nothing but the BB Cream. The picture is slightly blurry, but you can tell that my skin becomes really dewy, naturelly shiny and super flawless! (Sorry that I don't have a 'before'-picture to show you just how big the effect really is!) By the way, sorry for looking tired, it's taken in the morning, I just can't bother to look awake and happy. (Ohoho, the morning uglyness) ~~ 


Super dewy skin, right? I love it sooo much! ~

So all in all, what I think:
I love how long it lasts! It lasts through the entire day even after going to gym and sweating! And when you apply, it actually does make my face feel super cool and fresh. 
Light feeling, heavy coverage!
I was so surprised by the coverage because western BB creams doesn't really cover, only gives a little "teint". I didn't need any concealer on my pimples and only very little on my dark circles, my skin became flawless! Super many good points to Etude for that! 

However, it does not have any whitening effect for me, because I am so pale, but it's not a big bother for me. I'm pale enough, and the colour matches perfectly! I was scared it wouldn't, because I had to buy it online. 
It's a little pricey, but also worth it! 
However, there's not a lot of product in the container. It's very light already, and there's barely any bb cream inside. It's already so small! *Sigh* 

I recommend this for all skin types really, old, sensitive, acne, anything, because it hits everything and benefits all skin types perfectly! 
It is now my favorite BB cream, it has so many benefits it's almost a skincare product! (Ok, maybe not hahaha ~)


Wanna have flawless skin like all the beautiful ulzzang girls? Go buy Etude House! 

It's all for now. Byebye!
