Honey Facial Mask

                      I've been doing honey facial masks since summer. So far so good. After applying the honey to my face my face seemed to lighten. I had fewer breakouts too after applying honey. Honey is known for its antimicrobial properties so maybe that's why my breakouts had been lessening. Use the most raw honey with no additives or preservatives to give you a positive result!

Why You Shouldn't Exfoilate Everyday?

              

www.elemis.com

                         A lot of people have debated on this topic. Some say you need to exfoliate your skin everyday in order to keep it fresh and clean and free from dead skin. Others say dead skin can come off even if you do not exfoliate daily and that exfoliating strips your body of its natural moisture. 

                    Exfoliating in my opinion should be dona at least three times a week especially if you play sports. Why? I experienced not scrubbing for days and I felt icky. I mean to think of all the sweat, dirt and grime that stuck on me. I felt nauseous. The once a week rule do not seem to apply to me. Learn to know what the limitations of your skin are. Try to adapt to it so that you can have a better skin care regime. Do what you feel comfortable with but also look for tips from online sources and your dermatologist.

Review on Etude House Wonder Pore Toner

kpopheaven.com

                   Etude House's Wonder Pore Toner is one of their bestsellers. I lot of people raved about this product's effectiveness so I decided to try it. I wanted to lessen the size of the pores on my face especially my nose. Th nose strips left my nose pores looking bigger than usual (nooooo!). It looks horrible! I hope this product can be the answer to my enlarged pores.

Pros: 

*The product has a watery consistency and when I put it on my face it doesn't feel heavy.

*The container of the product is cute.

*The oil on face decreased a bit.

*I had less pimples after using the product.

Cons:

*There is a scent of alcohol in the product.

*The product tended to dry my face a bit after continuous use(daily).

 

 

Review on Etude House Proof 10 Auto Pencil

                  I bought this eyeliner for my play last year (late post). This was the first eyeliner I saw that didn't need to use a sharpener. You turn the head of the pencil to get a bit of the product out. This product had a lot of misses and here's why:

CONS:

*The product melted when I left it in my humid room. It was horrible because half of the eyeliner melted off.

*The eyeliner smudges easily after you wet it and eventually it fades (so much for waterproof).

*The head of the container turned easily especially if you forgot to leave the cap off so the product goes out and it breaks in my kit.

Pros:

*The tint was okay.

*The price was affordable.

Review on Yoko Milk Salt Scrub

                This product was introduced to me by my cousin. She told me this product helped in giving her smooth skin and after trying this for myself she indeed was right. It felt like my skin was that of a baby's. It was so soft and smooth and it felt nice to touch it. The product can last you a long time (do not exfoliate your skin daily).

rabimakeupglitz.blogspot.com

Pros:

*Gave me soft and soft skin.

*Took most of my dead skin.

*The smell is divine (milk and vanilla scent).

*The texture  of the product is just right (the size of the grains are like that of iodized salt).

*The price is affordable.

Cons:

*If you have a wound you should not apply this product on because it will sting.

*The zipper of the product (like that of Ziploc's) does not work. The grains stick to it so it's useless because you can't close the container.

*I haven't seen the whitening effect yet (been using the product on and off since July).                                        

Off side post (Journalism Assignment-Letter to myself) .

Dear Andrea,

    

               Someday you'll understand why life treats you like this. It only wants to make you stronger. No matter what the problems you experience I know that you will push through because you are a strong and independent girl with lots of goals in life. Don't let a simple problem turn you in the wrong direction. I want you to enjoy life and do the things you have been waiting to do ever since you were young. Life is too short. It won't wait for you. That's why seize every moment as if it was your last. Don't be afraid of change because change will always be there. It's the only thing on earth that will always be there. 

               Some personal advice. Stop eating chips. Those are not good for you. Seriously, you have been binging on chips. Stop it! Look at your weight its been ballooning since last week. Learn to take care of yourself more. Stop, and look at yourself. Treat your body like a temple. You don't want people to see you as someone who doesn't deserve respect and lose some of that weight of yours. You need to lose it for the concert. Exercise more to stop flabs.

                Pick what job you want to have someday. I know it's hard but pick something that you know will make you happy. Don't listen to what other people will tell you because they won't be the ones who will have that job forever. Learn to say "no" to them when you have to.
                  Lessen the stress in your life. If you know you can't take on a project don't do it. Don't add pressure to yourself especially if you feel too stressed out. Learn to balance the tings that are happening in your life. 
                       Last and not the least learn to love yourself. You put other people too much before yourself and it tends to make you too unhappy. Love should happen to you naturally. You shouldn't come looking for it. Achieve a lot before you ask yourself to get married someday so that you will feel fulfilled and proud with yourself. I am proud of you!

Love,

MYSELF :D

Note: This letter was meant to be a letter to myself so that I can read it someday whenever I need it. This was intended to be my Journalism assignment.

tigerairwaysdutyfree.com

                  My dad bought me a set of Bvulgari's perfume. They are in mini containers and they look adorable. I know this post isn't about skin care but I can't help myself.

Review on Lancome Juicy Tubes

               I don't usually use make-up except on occasions where my mom would tell me to. Last time she bought me a tube of Lancome's Juicy Tubes. I was impressed with the product it was AMAZING! I have no let downs for this product so this will be my shortest post (I think). BUY THIS!

Review on Glam Works Nose Pore Strips (Charcoal)

gerilen.wordpress.com

                          

               It's weird when I see blackheads and whiteheads on my nose. They look gross so I find products that help get rid of them. I'm self conscious when it comes to my outer appearance. I try to stay as clean as possible (sometimes very hard to do). So I tries using pore strips to help me get rid of them. One of the nose pore strips I use is the Glam Works Nose Pore Strips in Charcoal

Pros:
*80% of my whiteheads and blackheads were removed.
*My nose felt smooth after using it.
*Th price of the product is cheap.

Cons:
*After using the product for the first time my nose itched a bit.
*It didn't extract all of my whiteheads and blackheads.

Review on AC Clinic Red Spot Balm

        My last post was about the AC Clinic Foam Cleanser and now its about the AC Clinic Red Spot Balm. The girl in the Etude House store said that this product was suited for dark spots or red spots on your face. Dark spots and red spots are seen after your pimple dries out. I had been suffering from blemishes since the fourth grade. So the AC Clinic Red Spot Balm was the answer to my blemishes. 

 Pros:

*The scent is clean.

*You can see changes wit your blemishes after five uses(depends on the severity of the blemish/es).

 *Germ freaks can be rest assured of the hygienic use of the product (there is  a spatula for the removal of the product from the container).

Cons:

*The container makes the removal of the product hard to do (especially if you lose your spatula thingy).

*The product is a bit dense on your face.

Review on Etude House AC Clinic Daily Acne Foam Cleanser

 

          The changing weather condition, stress, etc. seemed to take  a toll on my skin. Pimples were resurfacing everywhere. My face wasn't clear anymore and I hated that. After the pimples were the dark spots. It was horrible and I had to find a way to get rid of them. So me and my mom checked if Etude House had a product for me and thank the gods they had! I wanted to try their set which had the AC Clinic Facial Foam Cleanser and the AC Clinic red Spot Balm(next post).

www.cnccanada.com

 Pros:
*It dried out my pimples after two uses. 
*It has a clean scent.
*The cleanser easily lathers.
*The packaging assures you that the product is effective.
*It made my face less oily.
*The price of the set is reasonable.

Cons:
*After the second day of using this product my face began to feel a bit dry.
*The product was a bit strong.
*Not suitable to be used as a daily cleanser if you have dry skin or if you're not acne-prone.

FINAL STATEMENT:
     -Beware those who have ultra dry skin because this product will become your worst enemy(literally). It made my skin dry and it was not a good sight. It can be used when you have your red days or when your hormones are shooting up like crazy because it does its job well in eliminating pimples. But try the product. It may have a different effect on your face. Good luck!
