TUESDAY REVIEWDAY: iWhite Korea The Original Nose Pack Whiteheads and Blackheads Remover Review

Blackheads and whiteheads. Who wouldn't hate them? Aside from being unflattering and annoying, they cause pimples as well. That's why it's important to always wash and tone our face. Sadly, they're not enough.
The first iWhite product I bought was actually the nose pack whitehead or blackhead remover. I've already tried Watsons branded nose pore strips, but they were too harsh. I also tried a different brand of peeling creams, but it didn't really do much for me. With that, let's see how well iWhite Korea Whitehead and Blackhead Remover will work.
:
Description:
iWhite Nose Pack is a cream type nose pack that conveniently adjusts to the shape of your nose, making it easier and more effective in eliminating blackheads and whiteheads. You can use it on oil-prone areas like the nose area and the T-zone to minimize the appearance of pores and excess oil for a clear, smooth, and radiant skin.
Contains natural active ingredients and Vitamins A, C, and E that help:
  • Improve skin texture
  • Soothe the skin while effectively stripping off dirt
  • Tighten pores
iWhite Nose Pack is refined by Bio-Nanotechnology which gives ingredients increased potency in order to effectively take care of your skin.
Directions for Use: After washing face, apply a generous amount of Nose Pack Solution on the entire nose area. Wait about 15 minutes until it completely dries then peel off the pack upward, starting from the base.
For best results, use 2-4 times a week with other iWhite skincare products. Active ingredients: Mulberry Root Extract, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Aloe Vera Leaf Extract, with Vitamins A, C, and E Also Contains: Water, Propylene Glycol, Polyvinyl Alcohol, Alcohol, PVP, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor oil, Titanium Dioxide, Fragrance, A, Camelia Sinesis Lead Extract, Panthenol, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Oryza Sativa Bran Extract, Methylparaben, Disodium EDTA



The consistency is creamy and really thick. It smells like any typical iWhite products (faint floral scent.)

I left it like that and waited for it to dry. The instruction said to leave it for 10-15 minutes.

10-15 Minutes are enough. I can easily peel it off.
Now, to test it on my nose area. I didn't bother to take a before and after photo since the camera's quality is not good enough to capture what I can personally see.

Here's what it looks like while waiting for it to dry. I left it for 20 minutes since I applied a thicker layer.

20 minutes later, I slightly peeled it off on the left side. It has completely dried.

This is what the dried cream looks like after peeling it off. I can see a few whiteheads.

This is how I store the product. Since it's in a sachet, I put a tape on the open part only.
I tried this more for the next few weeks, and I noticed that it can only pick up the noticeable whiteheads (or blackheads) when they're on the top layer of your face. I do not have many blackheads, so I can't say that it can really remove blackheads and whiteheads. I also noticed that I should use this every other week to fully see the effect of it. A thicker layer is also a must, but remember to allow a longer drying time.
I would rate this 7/10. Somehow, it removed some, but it can't really remove all the whiteheads and blackheads, or maybe I don't have that much to remove. And I like how much good ingredients this contains. It is available on all local supermarkets, Watsons, and department stores.

TUESDAY REVIEWDAY: Essence Mattifying Compact Powder Review

I recently ran out of my favorite Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder. Since I love to check out random drugstore products, I went to the Essence stall and saw this powder. I’ve heard good feedbacks on the translucent one (the white one) but it was out of stock. So, I had to try this instead.

TUESDAY REVIEWDAY: Fashion 21 Aqualicious Lipstick Review

Nude lipsticks are my favorite. Be it smokey or subtle, they always suit whatever makeup look I do. The problem is, there are plenty shades of nude. I am not sure which one will suit me. Inspire of having a fair skin tone, I still want to find that perfect nude shade.

TUESDAY REVIEWDAY: Nivea Whitening Serum with SPF 25 Review

I remember how I use to apply lotion every night. I've always wanted to have a soft and smooth skin since I used to wear skirts when I was younger. Now, I became slightly busier which made me forget to apply lotion every day.

TUESDAY REVIEWDAY: iWhite Korea Facial Cream Whitening Vita Review

Recently, I bought the Aqua Moisturizer from iWhite. Since I have used up all my favorite sunscreen, I got myself the iWhite Korea Facial Cream Whitening Vita. It's labeled as a facial cream and makeup base with SPF 15. The SPF part caught my eye, although due to my doubts, I only bought the smallest available package, which is in a sachet.

Common Skin Care Misconceptions

You've probably heard of makeup gurus say how good natural ingredients are, and how well they enhance the skin, and some may even have a live demo as they applied natural components on their face. A common misconception is that natural ingredients are always better. That is not always true.

TUESDAY REVIEWDAY: Jazzy Collection Single Eyeshadow Review

The year 2015 is all about the highlight, or rather, the strobing technique. I was not super hyped about the current trend, but I kept an open mind as I bought my first ever highlighter, even though the product is labelled as an eyeshadow. The highlighter that I use before was in a form of a pencil (for the eyes.)
