DIY Removing Whiteheads/Blackheads in Last Minutes

Hey guys!
so it's been quite a long time I don't post a new post since I'm really busy this past few weeks practicing for closing event and handling the event's maid cafe .
so now I'm not going to post a review but a simple DIY I guess? Sorry for this post I don't insert any picture.
well this is a tip for you that got white/blackheads that pop/sprouting on the surface when you're in hurry and don't have time to use/wear nose strip/mud mask.
to press it until it completely pops will only makes your nose red.
This is a quick easy steps with only 3 things that you already have!
1.Toner
2.Cotton pad
3.Index fingers

So here's the steps:
1.pour some toner onto the cotton pad
2.Gently pat/spread on your nose
3.Point the cotton pad with your index finger (like when you're going to press zits with tissue)
4.Scratch gently the area where the white/blackheads are sprouting/popping half on the surface
5.Do it until it's completely removed
6.For stubborn blackheads,it will popping 3/4 where you can pick it easily,or gently press it. This scratching with toner is not effective to remove the blackheads,but it helps pulling out the blackheads to the state it can be pull by fingers or press it. Here I press with my bare index fingers and my nose is less red (you knownhow easily my face gets red!)
7.After all is clean,swap some fresh toner that you've poured to a new cotton pad on your nose
8.Then use a product that contains alcohol/with pore shrinking properties skincare (not a face primer) .

Here I use :
The Face Shop Clean Face Blemish Zero Clarifying Toner
Skin Food Fresh Apple Sparkling Pore Emultion

So here's my tip for last minute clean nose. So do you have a tip to remove white/blackheads?

SKIN FOOD FRESH APPLE SPARKLING PORE EMULTION REVIEW

Hey guys! As I promised I'll post a lot of reviews after I bought a memory card reader. So it's a countdown 1 hour to go to welcome new year 2014


So now I'll review SKIN FOOD FRESH APPLE SPARKLING PORE LOTION
so, to inform you that I've a lot of blackheads and a mask,pack,etc can't remove my stubborn blackheads. So the only way is to press it -_- and it leaves big red bumps until the next few days and those horribly big pores. So I come across to this product when I ran out of my gel lotion (Etude House AC Clinic Daily Gel Lotion Trial version) . I want to re-purchase it but I thought I need to try something new.
So,here's the swatches

1.The front. It made of glass I think,and it's quite bulky with silver cap. My mom tried to use it and one day she accidentally move and the bottle fell off very hard! I've bad feeling if that sound is from this bottle (I'm in different room) and later when I checked , it's this bottle that fell but luckily it didn't crack! WOW
But the cap is cracked and there's a pressed side


 2
 3. The top of the cap. So cute ~

 4. It has a small hole to prevent "over pour" ~
 5&6. The texture. A little bit sticky

 7.With flash
 8.Without flash
9.Fully absorbed. You can see it's a little bit shimmery on flash on the right side

















So,since it's in emultion type,it's has quite 'thick' consistency unlike water, quite sticky too.
It contains alcohol (most of acne /pore treatment products contain alcohol in big amount), so I don't apply it on my whole face,only on my forehead,nose,and any place with big pores.
Even my forehead is not that sensitive,when I applied it my skin turns red especially if I put too much. But it will fade soon.
But it works miracle! My pore is less bigger,and less bumps and redness within overnight!
So I don't need to worry about big pores/bumps/redness after pulling out my blackheads LOL

CONCLUSION
PROS:
1.Strong packaging's materials!
2.Reduce big pores/bumps/redness overnight!

CONS:
1.Contains alcohol
2.Hard to pour the liquid
3.Quite sticky
4.Bulky packaging

RATINGS


3 out of 5stars

WILL I REPURCHASE ?
I'm still thinking about it. Maybe I'll look for something new

So , have you tried this before?Any comment?suggestions?

Skinfood Almond Milk Rich Foot Cream Review

Love your feet!
Well my reaction for that is : MEH.
But now I'm like OMG! I need to do something for my feet,quick!

Whoa! You might thinking what the hell is happening here XD
Okay,it's quite not too short,and not too long story why I panicked. Let's try!
I'm a freshman (university). I took Japaneses Literature major and there're a lot of clubs that will make you confuse to decide which one (you can take as many as you want but I don't have a lot of spare time,I need to rest and what I mean rest is playing my phone LOL ) . Then I picked YOSAKOI. The place where we practice is really bad. the floor is not smooth,must be careful no to steps on rocks,pointy cement,worse,.. glasses. Of course it's not clean since it's outdoor I mean on the roof. Dust everywhere! So after practicing for like 2weeks my feet starts to get rough,and some skin breaks!I don't know how to say it in English but in Bahasa it's what you called "KAPALAN" (bad at describing,sorry X_X )

I remembered I saw a product from skin food for foot treatment when I'm looking for some body creams that my friend asked me (I open online shop business) and I looked up it's Almond Milk Rich Foot Cream . It's quite pricey but I purchased it anyway.

So here it is!

1. FRONT
*Logo
*Brand
*Name
*Volume
*Brand's description
*Manufacture's date



 2. The website on the left
 3. Zoom In Manufacture's Date
4.Back
*Descriptions and How to Use in English and Hangul
*Ingredients in English and Hangul
*Other writings in Hangul that I don't understand LOL

You can click the image to view it on larger size*

Descriptions:
A creamy foot cream that contains almond extract and milk protein,and helps protect feet against dryness

How to Use:
Apply onto feet after bath or shower,or as often as desired throughout the day.For extremely dry and cracked feet,use daily before you sleep


Okay,I don't recommend to use it after bath/shower since it's:
a) Pricey and such a waste since we walk around to do activities and some of the cream might stick to the floor


b) Slippery after using it since it doesn't absorb quick

 
I usually use this every night when I already laid on my bed to sleep. Carefully move my feet to not touching things like bed cover,blanket,etc
 5.Comes sealed with silver seal .

6. Flip cap.
Sorry for the messed up cream XO . My mom tried to use it and she's really messy. I've cleaned it over and over but she always makes the mess


I haven't use it for some time because of my laziness so my mom using it almost daily and this is what happened when I open it and already tried to clean some of it (can't imagine if I take the shot without cleaning it)








 7. Quite creamy and sticky texture
 8. It has white color.

 9&10.Spread on my hand on the right side without flash and with flash.
You can see it's brighter/shinier on the right side

















Now is the swatches of my feet during the first few weeks after joining the club

If you're eating right now finish it quickly! SPAM!


1. Right bare foot with flash

YUCK!














2. Left bare foot without flash

Not really bad ..














3. Right foot after applying with flash

The dry patches aren't that visible compare to number 1















4.Left foot after applying with flash

Way much better !
















The swatches are the first time usage.
I used it daily for 1-1,5months or so and I'm satisfied!


The puffy skin starts to dry to peel and I cut it .
To remember that the cream is for moisturizing not for exfoliating so it didn't exfoliate completely (exfoliated mine for 3/4 but I guess it might exfoliate completely if I use it longer. I stopped because I get too lazy) and it makes my skin smoother.
My mom used Kanna Foot Cream but she tried mine.When I asked her is it good/not after she using it for 1week she didn't give any comment ,sometimes she answered "Nah-- so so" or "It's really bad!It makes my heels drier" but of course she's lying! If it's bad why she still use it until now? Sometimes when I'm asleep she sneaks and grab it LOL

For the scent it reminds me with melting milk chocolate/chocolate with nuts or so. I love the smell. It lasts for a very long time until you wash it clean

The texture is rich , not really sticky,and creamy. But after you applied it, it's quite sticky and it takes time to absorb

Right now my feet still had some left. Not completely heal,but for me it's fine already LOL
Sometimes I use it for some spot of dry patches on my hands/arms



CONCLUSION
PROS
1.Moisturizing
2.Helps to peel my bumpy broken skin
3.The scent!

CONS
1.PRICEY
2.Takes time to absorb
3.Sticky

RATINGS
out of 5 stars since it's pricey LOL

Will I Repurchase?
For the peeling part I have my eyes on Etude House Foot Mask,but it's pricey too and I'm still feeling okay with my feet. For moisturizing part,..well to be honest I'm to lazy to apply it but if my feet (hopefully not) get really dry and messed up and I start to run out of the product I guess I'll look for other foot cream that's cheaper than this


So have you tried this foot cream?any comments?or suggestion?

The Skin Food Royal Honey Mist Review

Hey folks!
I break my promise to post another cleanser review 




  Because it'll be soooo boring that you only read cleansers' reviews all the time I'm concern with your satisfaction to read my so so new blog 
 Okay,I lied (IF I SAID THAT'S THE MAIN REASON). The main reason is I'm too lazy to do cleanser's swatches because I must wash my hands again!
I'm a hygienic person ,people! But water is expensive,really!

LOL Joke! 
(please don't kill me)


It's true but right now the water tub is empty (on purpose) to clean it from dirty itty fungus(?) /wut

Anyway cut it out already! Let's go with the review
 

I'm not a fan of OILY face since I've combination skin type (SUPER DUPER OILY ON MY NOSE AND OILY FOREHEAD) ,but.. it changed! My skin (on my cheek,and between my eyes) dries like HELL after using acne set treatment from Etude House AC Clinic Trial and it sucks when I'm using BB cream it tends to show up my dry patches. URGH
So,I accidentally found a review about this stuff when I'm having fun reading Etude House's Posts from a super duper blogger . She had tons of products to review


So,because I only want to moisturize my skin without making it SUPER OILY again I think a mist is good enough to moisturize since I read all the reviews (I google for reviews about it after that) it's really dewy moisturizing. So I purchase it along with my PO.
And here it is


1.FRONT
2. BACK , with manufacture date , and other descriptions in Hangul



3. For you who can't read Hangul like me, no worry! It has English description behind the Hangul.
See that "Open Here" ? You just need to open it and VOILA! You can read it as long as you want about the descriptions,ingredients,etc.

Sorry I don't have the picture in English. I'm not  'soft-handed' I'm afraid I might tear it up 
 
*Usually I see every reviews about Skin Food products when they 'open' it, it comes with no scar of the label after that..*  
 





4.The pump
I tried to pump it so you can see the spritz,but my camera can't capture it  .
I even pump for 3 times! Waste my stuff


The pump for me is just so-so,not spritzing too much of it which is good for me,because I don't want to experience heavy rain splash on my face in one spritz.You know what I'm saying?  LOL











5,6,7. Can you see there's a layer in the liquid? Like other
separated liquid oil or something?

In the picture number 5, I tried to shake it a little . Usually I don't need to shake it,because when I pull the cap ,bubbles appear because the cap lock it really well so it's a bit shaken when I pull the cap

It's quite strange because when the first few weeks I never see this separated liquid thingy or bubbly thingy stuffs . Is it a sign of "no good to use anymore" ?

*gasp* . But I bought it fresh from oven !



Or maybe I didn't pay attention before
Hopefully !



 8.The texture without flash
















9.The texture with flash

As you can see it's kind of watery and when you spray it,it won't absorbs that instant. You need time to make it absorbed completely (20cm distance spritz),so I don't recommend this as a mist for setting make-up or daily. I usually put this after toner/ before moisturizer and I spritz it in a very near distance so I won't waste it (my logic says if  I spritz this too far some of  it might disappear with the air before 'arrive' on my face) LOL
 10.Spread it. You can see some shiny sparkle on the right area.
 11.Without flash,the sparkling on my vein
 12.Fully absorbed.

















TADA! It's quite moisturizing though but I think I need more moisturizing stuffs like cream. Seems my skin is drier than I thought.
And for the scent,I didn't really pay attention but I guess it's quite neutral because I don't smell anything when  spritz it on my face.
Sometimes I accidentally spritz near my eyes so some of it get into my eyes but thank goodness it doesn't sting!


So here's my conclusion

PROS:
1.Moisturizing enough for you who doesn't have extreme dry skin (normal skin type)
2.The scent is neutral (if you love scented products ,this might not for you)
3.Doesn't sting near the eyes
4.A little goes along the way

CONS:
1.It takes times to fully absorbed
2.The spritz is so-so,sometimes I like it but sometimes I don't LOL
3.Not moisturizing enough FOR ME
