Review: Milkshake Makeup Remover

Last year my friend went to China, and came back with one of the best gift I have Ever Tried! and that gift happens to be a makeup remover, and not just a normal makeup remover, but a milkshake makeup remover!! (Odd, I know haha) I've tried a couple of makeup removers and all have been very good, but by far this one has impressed me the most!! Here We Go!!

Unfortunately as it was a gift I don't have a lot of information to give, however I can give you my opinion on it. 

     

First off all....it's not actually a real milkshake!! It just has milk components in this product, so please do not use an actual milkshake to replace this!

Usually I use a makeup wipe to take off my makeup at the end of the day and use a cleanser on top of that....however on night outs where I've put on a bit more make up and it's layered on, (drag queen style hahah) I would like to use something that will definitely remove every spec of makeup on my face! Especially when it comes to waterproof mascara!! Oh yesss! We all know how difficult it is to fully remove that!

This here is the answer to those prayers!!!

The product itself smells Amazing!!!! It has a coconut/nutty sort of smell. 

It works like an oil base makeup remover, so it helps lift even the most darkest of eyeliners, leaving your face smooth, clean and moisturized! 

As the saying goes..."A Clean face....is a Clear face".......So avoid those morning panda eyes!

Easy to use and an amazing end result! 

All in all....this product deserves a 9/10!

Until next time my product junkies

Review: Ciracle - Pore Control Blackhead Off Sheet

Ciracle - Pore Control Blackhead Off Sheet

Packaging: A simple black box. I quite like the lid as it has Good Bye Blackhead on top which I found rather amusing. (haha) 

Price: $19.99 (USD) which converted to (GBP) £13.10 (price may change due to conversion rates) I would say this is a fair price for a nose mask, seeing as you do get 30 sheets in there unlike some drugstores nose mask. As I would call this...a Barrgainnn!!

Product: A "slimy" nose mask. Size of a regular cotton pad. I would have to admit the smell is quite strong unlike the Pore Beauty Nose Pack  But the effects are pretty much the same if not better! It also comes with a pair of cute little tweezers. 

    

I am always concerned about the pores on my face, so when I see a nose mask I am quick to purchase it! and most of the times I am usually disappointed with the results especially with drugstore pore masks. But this here...REALLY deserves some recognition! 

After 2-3 weeks of using this product I have noticed my pores noticeably shrink! To the point where the holes looks clear and feels smoother! With noticeable smaller pores I would have to give this product an 8/10! 

The first time you use this product you will see how shiny your nose is, and it isn't a greasy shine.....It's a Good Clean Shine! As much as that doesn't make any sense once you try this product you will understand! The smaller pores are practically gone! and after a few uses of this, your larger pores will DEFINITELY be Unseen!! 

Though the smell is not as pleasant, the results make up for it! It does exactly what the lid says! GOOD-BYE BLACKHEAD!!! 

All in all, I would say this product is Amazing!!

Until next time my product junkies

Review: Dead Sea Salt

Premier - Dead Sea Salt & Body Butter

Hello Product Junkies! It's been a month since I've done a review on a product....and whilst I was in Malta I have found a product worth reviewing! Again...This is another 2 piece purchase, so I will break it down into 2 sections....Here We Go!

 

Premier - Dead Sea Salt

Packaging: A clear round tub with a shiny reflective gold/silver lid. Able to sea the salts (see what I did there? ;) hahah). The packaging is very basic, the color font on the package depends on the scent you pick. I've got the green one...representing herbal.

Price: €59 (EUR) which converts to (GBP) £50.36 (price may change due to exchange rates) Even though I was abroad....for €59 that is still quite a steep price and it took the sales lady some minutes to finally persuade us (me and my friend samantha aoki, follow her if you haven't done so) to actually buy the product! If it hadn't been for the special offer deal she offered us...I don't think we would of purchased it! Kudos point to the sales lady! However If I was in UK and was stopped by a kiosk seller...it would of costed me roughly £70! so in that case I guess I did get it cheap...err than usual. I have done some searching and you can buy this product much cheaper online! So if you are curious about dead sea salt products...my advise....look online!! 

Product: Large white grainy salt crystals. Not to be compared with cooking salt! (hahah) The difference is...the scent!! Dead Sea Salt has an aromatic smell to it. There is aromatic oils in the salt to give it a nice therapeutic smell. You can get this product in 3 different scents. Milk & Honey, Passion fruit and Herbal. I've chosen the herbal one. I must say...the smell is wonderful!

  

You ever wonder why people love the beach? Because it therapeutic, relaxing, fun and enjoyable!! You ever go into the sea and come out with your skin feeling really soft? It is because of the salts in the sea! And as you can see...it is available to buy for home use! So you don't have to spend lots of money just to go to a beach for that feeling! 

Another benefit to Dead Sea Salts is it really helps with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne along with other skin conditions. The mineral crystals helps peel away the dead skin leaving it nourished, moisturized and soft. It is also known for helping blood circulation and joints! 

When I first tried this product, I was given a small sample and was asked to rub my hands with it, once I washed off the salt....my hands felt silky soft throughout the day!! I mean I moisturize my hands on a daily basis and not ONCE have I felt it That Smooth! (That was the selling point for me hahah) I also have mild eczema on my arm joints and behind my neck and after 2-3 uses of it my eczema was getting better! No more scratching! Hurrahh! and I have noticed my feet feel much softer as well! Those with hard skin on your feet...This is the answer to your prayers! No need for "feet graters"! 

So now whenever I'm feeling stressed and need a way to "ease away the stress" I use this! Come out feeling silky smooth all over ;) hahaha 

With all its benefits I would definitely recommend it!

Premier - Body Butter

Packaging: A matte glass tub which comes in different colors for different scents. I have the turquoise green which is the herbal one. Has a gold reflective lid. I love the packaging due to its color. Sturdy and shiny.

Price: Now the original price for this was €59 (EUR) which converts to (GBP) £50.36 (price may change due to exchange rates) but as I got this as an offer it came as a gift. Bargainnn!! I would argue the fact that...You do pay for what you get...but for a moisturizer, it is very pricey! Lucky for this product it is very good moisturizer and it has lived up to its advertisements! So is the price worth it?.....I would say.....Buy It Online!

Product: A smooth thick creamy aromatic body butter! The scent is absolutely amazing! Whether you pick the herbal, passion fruit or milk and honey, each scent is absolutely amazing!

 

This product is now my favorite body butter so far...! Using this after a good scrub with the dead sea salt has made my skin feel sooo baby butt soft! It helps rejuvenate, revitalize and refreshes your skin! It locks in moisture which helps absorbs quickly without that sticky feeling and it is nourishing which also helps restore moisture for those who needs intensive skin repair! 

I use this at night after a shower and the herbal aroma in this really helps me sleep better!

All in All.....would I buy this product again?.....YES! but online only!! (hahah)

Until next time product junkies

Review: Malta

Malta in my opinion is a very beautiful and historic country! It may be small but the views will just blow you away! With the constant view of the sea no matter what city of Malta you are in!

For the elderly I would say it is a good place to retire, as it is peaceful and not as busy and crowded.

The places I would suggest are Valletta (capital city), Bugibba, Silema, St. John's, St. Julians, Paceville, Mdina, Gozo (an island seperated from Malta), Melliha, Blue Grotto and Golden Bay. These were the places I went to and was taken back by it....the view, the people, the area...all so nice and pleasantly wonderful! If I was given more time I would have loved to explored all the areas of Malta.

For the more lively crowded areas I would say Silema, Valletta and St. Julian's is the place to be! Mostly filled with busy shopping centers and restaurants.

For the more night life style I would definetly suggest Paceville. (Located near St. Julian's). Full of clubs and pubs for the ravers.

Mdina is definetly one of those historic places you should see! Also known as "the Silent City" which used to be the capital of Malta! By looking at it from the outside it looks like a city in a fortress. Also home of Mdina glass...(a place where people make all kinds glass in different colour, shape and size). Whilst I was in Mdina I also learnt that there are 365 churches in Malta! (How amazing is that!)

Golden Bay is the most popular beach in Malta. These place really suits it's name....Golden! If you want to catch a tan....this is the place to go!

Another place Malta has to offer is called the Fishing Village! Located in Marsaxlokk, where you will see hundreds of boats and people fishing. There is a whole strip full of restaurants for those who would like to eat seafood.

Whilst I was in Gozo, the seperate island from Malta, I learnt that Gozo was also known as "the 3 hills" as you can see 3 big hills in Gozo! Gozo reminds me of Brazil in many ways, one of it being they have a big Jesus statue standing on the edge looking out on the world. I would of loved to have taken a closer look at it but unfortunately I only saw a glimpse of it during a car ride :(

Maltese food is very similar to the Mediterranean....they love their olives, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, kidney beans, and their specialty (which may put A Lot of people off)....is Rabbit! For those who are willing to try it, it tastes like tenderized chicken! (As they say "when in Rome, do as the Romans) haha

The weather in Malta is just absolutely pleasant!! I went during the cold season unfortunately but even then the weather was still pleasant! Sunny but cold winds. Being on the coast you will witness some mighty frosty winds especially at night but as some would call it "a pleasant wind"

All in all my trip to Malta was absolutely wonderful and I would definetly suggest it to my travel junkies (but go during the hotter season) hahah

Photos were taken by me with my Iphone4 (credits go to Malta for having such amazing views)

Until next time my travel junkies

Review: Skinmiso Pore Beauty Nose Pack & Comedo Remover

Skinmiso - Pore Beauty Nose Pack & Comedo Remover

As these are 2 different products I shall review them individually. The first one shall be the Pore Beauty Nose Pack and the second will be the Comedo Remover. 

Let's Begin!

Skinmiso - Pore Beauty Nose Pack
Packaging: A blue and white box, which contains 20 nose pack sheets, 10 white and 10 blue. The 2 colours are crucial as you use this product in 3 steps. Also included in the box is a Pore minimizing Essence, the essence is the third step to complete the "regime" if you will. 

Price: $21.99 (USD) which convert to (GBP) £14.76 (price may change due to exchange rates) Now for a nose pack I thought the price was a bit much but then I realized with normal nose pack which you can buy in any superdrug store you only get packs of 5-7 (depending on brand) and the price can range from £2.59-£10.99!! (I did some research on some superdrug stores for a price comparison and the cheapest is Bodycare, the priciest one being Boots) So with this in consideration the P.B.N.P (Pore Beauty Nose Pack) is pretty cheap if you think about it...Plus you get a essence lotion to go with it! 

Product: A 3 step process, the first being the white pack. This removes blackheads and whiteheads. The second is the blue pack. This contracts pores making them look smaller and the final step is the essence lotion. This is a gel like substance which controls the oils on your face and leaves the skin feeling silky smooth. 

Pore Beauty Nose Pack & Comedo Remover

Step 1 - Blackhead&Whitehead Removal

Step 2 - Contraction&Calming

Step 3 - Oil Control Silky Essence

Have you ever had the grainy, greasy, cloggy feeling around your nose? Or even the shiny, oily feeling? Well I have! and it is NOT a pleasant feeling! You feel your nose all clogged up with grease! Pores the size of manholes! Light can practically reflect from your nose!! (Exaggerated haha) well my product junkies....This is the product that (in my opinion) Beats All Nose Pore products out there! 

Usually I'm kinda sceptical with the whole nose pore mask, but due to my oily-greasified nose I have tried the superdrug stores mask and it's not really done a lot to help for my nose, though it is interesting yet gross to look at (haha) So.....

When I first came across this product I thought the product was a self hardening-rip off the nose-painful type product.....but to my surprise it Wasn't! It's exactly like a face mask when you first open it. A slimy mask! 

Don't worry about not knowing which mask to use 1st....as it already states the steps on the mask. Simple eh?

After trying out this product, I was truly amazed by it! You can practically see and feel the difference straight away!! The essence lotion really locks in the silky feeling after finishing the 2nd step. 

All in all I would say this is the perfect product! 

Now on to the next product:

Skinmiso - Comedo Remover/Blackhead Remover Tool
Packaging: Blue and white, looks exactly like the Pore Beauty Pack I mentioned above. Pretty simple and straightforward.   

Price: $14.99 (USD) which convert to (GBP) £10.06 (price may change due to exchange rates) I've never seen a product like this and quite frankly....it's pretty cool! and truly worth buying for those who regularly "squeezes" the whiteheads and blackheads out. 

Product: A stainless steel elegant looking stick with a ring on each end. Each ring is a different size for extracting those nasty whiteheads. The word 'skinmiso' is engraved into it along with a fancy elegant pattern. It comes in a case. The length resembles that of a pen so it is easy to hold and use. 

This here is another way of squeezing those nasty whiteheads/blackheads out! Some people use tissues to help, or even cotton swabs (a q-tip/cotton bud in other words) and which ever method you use it's still getting rid of those pesky things! So if both methods work....why purchase the comedo remover? I'll tell you why......

money consuming! 

Each tissue piece you use you throw and then use a new piece, same goes to cotton buds. Over time you end up buying more tissue packs and/or cotton buds.....This however all you have to do is clean it well! and you can keep on re-using this! Handy right? 

Combine this with the pore beauty nose pack and your nose will feel clean and clear! 

A Little advise though.....Do Not press to hard on the skin for it will scar. If you have gone over board I would suggest to leave this product until the skin has healed.

I brought this product as a 2 piece deal at the time, unfortunately the deal is no longer available.....however you can still buy the 2 products individually and it will still be worth every penny! 

Until next time product junkies!

Review: OST Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum

OST - Original Pure Vitamin C-20 Serum

Packaging: A shiny metallic orange, it contains a pipette for easy usage. I really like the packaging. The metallic orange I find rather mesmerizing (haha) 

Price: $24.99 (USD) which convert to (GBP) £16.57 (price may change due to exchange rates) For a serum type product I would say this is a fairly average price. I mean you pay for what you get right? And I would have to say this product is worth its price.

Product: A gel gooey liquid form, smells heavenly like oranges and a hint grapefruit. It is said to help revitalize the skin, pore tightening, whitening and black head removal. 

I absolutely adore this product!! I have realized how every time I used this product my face feels supple and smooth, especially after a good cleanse and a bit of this wonderful serum can make a huge difference. The moment you put this serum on your skin there is a slight tingly sensation, which is normal as it is a concentrated citrus ingredients doing its job....(it's kind of like rubbing an orange over your face) if however you use this product and the tingling sensation carries on for a while then I would suggest to stop using this product immediately 

I have fairly large pores and after using this product for roughly a week, I would say I have notice a shrinkage in my pores, which has amazed me as I have used different types of toners and serums and not one has made me think "oh...I see a difference" so major kudos to this product! I would definitely re-purchase this product. 

Until next time product junkies

Review: Tosowoong - Enzyme Powder Wash

So I have finally found some time to write my review on some of my recent purchases from my last blog....So....Here it is!!

Tosowoong - Enzyme Powder Wash

Packaging: The colours; blue and white. Plain yet simple.

Price: $10.90 (USD) which convert to UK pounds would be roughly £7.20 (due to exchange rates the price may change)
Regardless I would still say a very good price indeed! 

Product: A powder substance. Looks like white foamy balls, but one spill of a mistake and all that will be "wasted", so do be careful when handling this product. It contains vitamin E to help smoothen skin.

Availability: wishtrend.com

Enzyme powder wash is a cleanser that is like no other cleansers I have ever seen! For starters it isn't a thick creamy substances like most cleansers, it is a powder! The formula is quite unique! Once you add water to the powder it becomes a soapy substance. Now I first got intrigued by this product thanks to a good friend of mine (who also has a blog you should follow ;) [here]) the first time I used this product my face felt clean, fresh, almost what I would call "breathable skin" and it felt amazing!! Since then I went and purchased one myself! 

I would suggest this product if, like me, you have tried out a lot of different cleansers and none of them has worked! It is suitable for all skin types, after cleansing your face, your skin will feel 'taught' (however if you feel an irritation after using this product then I would recommend you to stop using it immediately).

Until next time product junkies
