Babyjap package for me!

Hi my lovely readers! Last Thursday my sister, who is always excited to open my package, texted me at school that I have a package at home. I was like, “Huh? Where from? I didn’t order anything online.” Then, I came home, opened the package and was really happy to see that the package came from a lovely blogger Babyjap. Yes, you probably have heard about her in Gtalk. She's the owner and writer of Pink Thought Bubble by Babyjap I got some samples from Babyjap! Yay thanks a million my dear!

 Lovely personal note from Babyjap

I'm not sure how to use this. but I saw in Babyjap's post that it is a toner(not sure though). please let me know ladies. 

a cute transparent pouch from Shiseido. My new makeup kit pouch for school. Before, I'm using the cute pouch from Clinique but then, I realized that I like transparent one better. Yay

 

I don't know if Babyjap knows, but I love charcoal nose patch! I really do! Yay

Anyway, I’m sure you are all curious on how I got these samples from her. But first, I would like to clarify that she is not selling these stuff. I got them all for free!

So here’s how I got them. It all started when I was looking for reviews on CURE Aqua Gel. I’m guilty, I’m a big fan of Jen of fromheadtotoe, and she’s a lovely youtube guru. In one of her videos she mentioned how great this product is. So, I went googling about it. Then, I saw Babyjap’s review on this. I think I am the one who tweeted her about this product and asked her few things. I was asking her about this and where could I purchase then. But instead, she recommended me to try Purederm Peeling Gel. She told me that it was a good alternative for CURE Aqua Gel since CURE Aqua Gel is quite expensive. I went looking for “Purederm Peeling Gel.” Honestly, I saw this Deep Cleansing Peeling gel and Nutritious Vitamin Pack in SM Manila Watsons but I did not really bother to buy it. In the first place, I didn’t know that Babyjap was referring for this . I was really looking for PUREDERM PEELING GEL, a pack that contains only peeling gel but then I saw nothing. So, I tweeted Babyjap and told her that I couldn’t find Purederm Peeling Gel. Then she replied, “ouch, ung purederm? Dm me ur addy ill send u some :)” Then, I asked if it’s for free or I have to pay for anything then she said, “nah sis, free itey. :D haha! :D ill give you a few packs muna para matry mo, saka ka na mageffort maghanap if u like it haha!” I was really surprised! She’s one of the most generous bloggers I ever met. Imagine, I don’t know her for real but she’s willing to send some items for me and for FREE! (plus, she included some other items aside from Purederm). Although I’m sure she’s not alone in this world, Of course, there are other generous bloggers... generous not only in terms of money or material things, but also with time and knowledge. I really love blogging because people like this inspire me a lot. I don’t have money to offer you ladies as I am just an ordinary student but sure thing, I will try to be generous as much as possible by sharing my time and knowledge.

Anyway, I've tried 1 pack yesterday and I was really happy with this pack. I will do a detailed review on this next time! For now, if you have questions you could leave it on my facebook fan page or twitter account and oh, please do visit Babyjap blog. I swear, you will definitely love her blog. Add her on twitter too!

Etude house Green Tea Nose Pack and Essence Mask

Hi ladies! This is a quick post on the recent things I've tried from Etude House.

Etude House Green Tea Nose Pack

I do have a huge problem with the blackheads on my nose. That is why during the 20% sale, I decided to get this product. 

So here's the step on how to do it . I know the instruction is written at the back of the sheet but it was incomplete. 

Wet your nose with water.Remove clear film from the pack and fasten adhesive side to nose. Remove strip when dry  Wet the nose strip on your nose with water. You have to wet the nose strip so that the product will works. If you only wet your nose and not the nose strip, you will definitely be disappointed with the result. (see picture below to know why)

Remove the strip when dry.

So here's the result 

Removing the nose strip

Notice on the left side of the strip, i did not wet the outer part of the strip with water and the result, no blackhead was removed. While on the other part, most of my blackheads were removed.

Ewww. i know right haha!

I'm quite happy with the strip. It's a bit pricier compared to the typical nose strips from Watsons but I think it is worth a try. I might buy this again or maybe not. I'm not yet sure. If I would repurchase it again, it's because it smells good. it reminds me of...of... green tea. hahaa! of course! :)) If I would not repurchase this it's because I want to try other nose pack.. I'm eyeing the charcoal nose pack from tony moly. I'm interested with products with charcoal since i know that they really work!

ESSENCE MASK HYALURONIC ACID

I haven't tried lots of mask before, in fact the only mask that I've tried is from Queen Helene. What i hate about wash-off masks is how messy they are during the application. So I know I have to settle with sheets mask as they are more convenient (but pricier).

The cutting is a bit bigger than my face but it is okay so that people with bigger faces would be able to use them.

I heard from Korea Cosmetics the effect of mask would be better if you fridge it before using it.

I left the mask on my face for 20 mins then remove it. I was happy with the result. My skin felt hydrated. I did not felt any tightness unlike when I use Queen Helene mask. My skin was smooth and soft after.

I would like to repurchase this than Queen Helene for the following reasons:

1. It doesn't contain paraben

2. Not drying on skin. 

3. Queen Helene effect: Smooth, refreshed and clean (with a slight feeling of dryness)

Ehouse mask effect: SOFT, smooth, hydrated.

Scary!

hahaha! I look so funny in my pics! Okay okay! I don't like to post it originally but I had no choice! Please be nice to me. hahaha! :)
