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
