Skin Food Egg White Pack

The packaging says...

*Containing egg white that is excellent in exfoliating, refining pores and controlling excess oil, this peel-off pack effectively eliminates annoying blackheads on the nose, forehead and chin. This sheet-type pack is easy to use and carry, promoting quick and convenient care for blackheads when used once or twice weekly.

The pack costs 510php in Skinfood outlets, it contains 5 nose pore strips and 5 pore strips for the forehead and chin (jaw) area.

Peel-off Pack for Nose

Peel-off Pack for Forehead - Jaw

How to use: 

Simply wet face and with dry hands apply the designated sheet...

Nose Pinch! 

On your nose....

Hmmmmm...

chin...

gawd... I look sleepy XD

...and forehead. Allow the sheets to dry for 10-15 minutes then peel-off. :)

Two words for this product; Love it. By far it’s the best blackhead removal strip I’ve tried. The nose strips are fantastic, it removes all blackheads in one go (except deep seated impurities you have to probe out) very efficient, dries quickly and doesn't sting as bad as other pore strips. The forehead and chin (jaw) strips are a bit hard to work with, the forehead strip only pulls up tiny facial hairs and the chin strip hardly removes anything at all.  

Would I recommend it?

Yes, especially for those who, like me, sweat profusely around the nose area. It can really get messy and less efficient to use pore masks as the sweat tends to wash away/cut through the product before it even dries up. 

Would I repurchase? 

Definitely! :)

Overall Rating:

4/5

Overall, this is a really good product, but I find it to be a bit too pricey for me since I really don't like (and use) the forehead and chin packs.  :P

The Thumb Thing

I've seen a picture of the Thumb thing from an Epic Win website a couple of years back and for someone like me who reads almost everywhere and any situation possible, it was  a pretty cool idea. The Thumb Thing keeps the book 'open' while you hold it open using one hand. It's very convenient for commuters, you can even get your literary fix in a crammed MRT/LRT without straining yourself. Little did I know that it really did exist and was already out in the market.

Lurvely! My thumb size is Small :3

Just slip it on your thumb...

And TADA! 

Read away.

I love you dearest thumb thingy of mine...

But wait, there's more... the Thumb Thing also prevents spine creasing! Your pocketbooks won't split into two anymore and now you only have 'dog ears' to worry about. 

I bought mine at Powerbooks, Marquee Mall for only 150php.I believe all Powerbooks branches have the Thumb thing.  It comes in 4 sizes (S, M, L, XL) and a variety of colors. Bibliomaniacs, get one now! :)

An Implied Contract

When life gives you lemons, it is imperative for one to make the most out of it and make lemonade. Even though it is unfortunate that a huge lot tend to leave the citrus fruit to wither and atrophy, there is a handful of mankind who aim for perfection, mincing lemon rinds and whisking away the concoction every few hours or so to make lemon sorbet.

Truth be told, my culinary skills can be summed up in two words; instant and microwavable. In blog terms that must probably mean micro-blogging. Bleech!

So here's the deal...I'll post regularly about anything, everything and nothing. I promise no half-baked half-assed entries (you are entitled to give me a good beating once I do so) I won't cuss too much. No lengthy personal rants. I'll blog. You read and give constructive criticism. In the occasion of heated arguments, let us all be reminded of that 'R' word that could possibly end all of the world's disputes. Respect. Thank you.

Let's start. :)
