Blackhead Brush

Hi ppl! Today will be on the blackhead brush/cleaning brush :) Had been trying for a few months already and I'm here with a review! Blackheads, whiteheads are the things that I have on my face especially the forehead. It is super painful to remove during facial as I have a low pain threshold. So I always on a lookout to improve the whiteheads condition on my forehead and hairline. 

The first time I was exposed to the brushes was at Westgate where there was sales at the atrium at the basement and the well-known Clarisonic. I walked past this booth selling manual cleaning brush and it looked like it can produce pretty fine foams. Looked interesting but the price was like $75!? So I give it a pass due to the prices. It's until recently I caught a Taiwanese video on blackhead brush and it looked pretty cool. 

Video from Youtube (in Chinese and some ppl might feel her accent being too teh (act cute) but very informative)

So I went to get an Innisfree blackhead brush for $17

Okay, this brush feels pretty soft and light. The design allows cleaning at the side of the nose. The video shows that she create the foam first and applied to the face before using the brush but, for me, I use the brush to foam my cleanser. It is a very small brush hence it will be better for cleaning of small area. My hand felt so sore when using for the whole face. Hence,for whole face, I suggest to get a bigger brush.

I got this kind from Bugis street for $10? No brand though.

The bristles feel soft but since this is a no brand brush so I don't know whether the bristles is 0.07mm thick. Apparently 0.07mm is smaller than the size of a pore so the bristles are able to go into the pores and remove dirt. But I love this. So easy to clean my whole face compared to the innisfree one. 

Usage : For myself, I will pump my cleanser on my pump and use the brush to create the foam and applied the foam on my face and start to brush it in circles, rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise. Brush it for 3-5 mins and wash my face with cold water. Recommended to use everyday. 

Verdict: I feel that the Innisfree is better for small part cleaning while the bigger one is more suitable for the whole face. My forehead indeed feels less bumpy BUT my blackheads at my nose and cheek areas are still a lot. I saw ppl commenting that electric brushes are better, but more expensive. I will still purchase the brush and continue using it as it is quite comfortable to use. 

Thank you for reading! Hope it helps :)

Hi ppl!!!! Since I'm slightly more free now, I'm back with a review :)

Ta dah this is the product which I'm going to review!!!! I got it like last week, used it for a week already. Initially wanted to review it a month after I use but it is so good that I got to share with you guys!!!

Got it from http://list.qoo10.sg/item/DEDUCT-18-BETTER-AND-CHEAPER-THAN/429063496

My $60++ toner was broke by my sister and I'm been trying to look for a cheaper alternative.
So when I enter toner in the search button in qoo10 (love to go there and check out some new stuffs) and this was at the top seller. Read the reviews and it look pretty good too. Initially I wanted to get innisfree newly launched toner but since I prefer to try new and unusual stuff and this cost almost the price of innisfree, hence I decided to cart it out. Spend ard 30++ and received the product the day after I paid.

So it came like the bottle on top, translucent plastic bottle. Design wise very simple and nice. No ingredient list (can be found here : http://sokoglam.com/products/son-park-beauty-water). At the side there is a description of the product.

The texture of the product is watery, like normal toner. I usually will shake twice on the cotton pad and it is enough for my big big face. On the first day of using, I feel nothing. No softness or the hydrated feeling. Oh it didn't have the drying feel on my face as it contained alcohol. But the cotton pad do look like what it is advertised on qoo10. Those dirts....

On the second day, I accidentally touched the extreme side of my face and I kid you not, it is the most softness feeling I ever had!!! I have dry skin on the ends of my cheek, near the ear area, and very oily on the t-zone. And due to sinus, I always have very dry skin around my nose area. And after I use this beauty water, my dry area has no more dry skin flakes. My oily t-zone do not feel that oily and my pores did not shrink. BUT my face feel so smooth to touch now. I do not have any expectation for my sebum or pores to reduce as those products are very drying on my non-oily skin. So I think this toner is good to achieve a balance. This beauty water will be a staple in my skin care routine until I can find a better replacement. However what works for me might not work for you, but I think skin care product is try and error kind of thing. Do try and let me know how you feel with this!

Bye guys!
And sorry if there is any grammar or spelling error, my English is really bad and I'm typing this with less than 4 hours of sleep.
