Pig-Nose Clear Blackhead 3-Step Kit

This is a three step kit for removing blackheads from your nose.

The first stage is a nose strip that smells and feels remarkably like a KFC moist towelette.
The scent really is dead on, cleaning lemon scent.

The second stage is a sticky nose strip that is meant to pull out the gunk from in the pores.
It doesn't set firm enough to do this efficiently and it pulled out virtually nothing.

The last stage is a gelatinous nose mask that is mostly pointless.

Save your time and money, just get Biore strips!


Price: 5/5 ($3.41 for one kit)

Nature's Own - Complete Sleep 

I meant this to be used alternatively with Valerian to prevent habituation.

It contains Lactium (milk protein) and Ziziphus (used in Traditional Chinese Medicine).

I personally didn't feel any effect from taking these. No relaxation, no reduction in muscle tension, no sleepiness.
It wasn't worth my money.

Valerian works so much better.

Price: 1/5 ($24.95 for 30 tablets)

Nu Skin - Epoch Glacial Marine Mud

I was quite skeptical going into this, I have used mud masks before and they have never cleaned my pores.
In fact they just tore my natural oils out of my skin, making it red and me disappointed.

But this has been going around of late as a really good pore cleaner.
I have seen a number of videos singing its praises and thought I would give it a try.

So here is the before photo:

Little kitty whiskers and all!

During:

Goopy and blurry!

After:

Verdict - No difference! It did nothing!
Pores still just as blocked!

This is useless unless you call your wallet a pore! (hahahaha, I'm so funny XD)

GU:AAM Method - Whitening Serum

This came to me by way of Memebox (before they abandoned their Australian fan base) and I wish I could like it.

It is sticky and pills. It doesn't absorb at all and smells really unimpressive (weak/ slightly gross).
It just feels like putting diluted glue on your face, and feels just as beneficial.

It contains black pearl and conchiolin 35... but it is just a waste of the gem...

"I want a brightening serum that doesn't suck" Solution:

This Avon vitamin c serum is amazing!

Price: 2.5/5 ($30 for 60mL)

Chi Chi - Creamy Matte Liquid Lipsticks - Va Va Va Voom

Matte lipsticks are very popular at the moment and at first glance, this liquid lipstick may seem like a good introduction... do not be fooled!

This lipstick is difficult to apply, gives patchy colour, pills and flakes as it dries and does not fully set.
DO NOT BUY!

The only good things I can say about it is it didn't cost me too much and the colour is nice (if it worked).

Price: 3/5 (rrp $11.86 for one, but don't bother!)
Scent: 0/5 (Chemically! and not in the fun way!)
Effectiveness: 0/5
