On to my top 10

1. Etude House Happy Tea Time in Milk Tea. I've been using this product for a year now and I don't think that I'll be switching to other facial wash anytime soon.. Smells so good and I love that it makes my skin soft and supple. Cheap for the price of Php150.00 for a 150ml tube.

2.  Belo Pore Refining Toner for Oily Skin. I use this after washing my face with Etude House's Facial Wash. This removes last traces of dirt and makeup. No strong scent and good for oily skin. Only for php49.00.

3. St. Ives Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer. Makes my skin moisturized very well. A lot of product for the price of Php239.00. It makes my skin oily though that's why I only use this at night.

4. Maybelline Pure Makeup in Nude. This is a water-based foundation which is good for everyday use since its formula is light but still offers very good coverage. Evens out my skin tone. Available on Ebay for php150.00-php200.00.

5. Jane's  Be Pure Mineral Oil Free Bronzer. My all-time favorite bronzer! I often use this instead of blushers. I get lots of compliments when I am using this. Makes my skin look flawless and glowing! I also bought this from Ebay. Php150.00.

6. IN2IT Eyebrow Powder. Defines my brows very well when used with a good angled brush. Php299.00 at Watsons.

7. SanSan Lipstick in No. 5. This is a very nice coral shade lipstick that matches my skin tone very well. Doesn't dry my lips and stays on me for almost 4 hours. Price around Php70.00 only.

8. St. Ives Mineral Clay Firming Mask, Php198.00 at Watsons. I use this when I feel like I need to deep clean my face. I can immediately feel that my skin tightens after using this prod. 

9. Purederm Nose Pore Strips. Visibly lifts blackheads and excess oil on my nose area. Php79.00 for 3 strips. Also available at Watsons.

10. ELF All Over Cover Stick in Apricot Beige. Has medium coverage that brightens my eye contour. I love its creamy texture and orange-y smell. Only for Php129.00.

Product Review: Purederm Nose Strips

          One of my skin problems is having a lot of blackheads particularly on my nose area. My pores are big and open that's why dirt tend to sit deep in my skin. I often go to a skin care center once in a while to have my face cleansed and to remove stubborn blackheads, but now that I am working already, I don't have time anymore to get a facial often. When I read some good reviews on how effective nose strips are in eliminating blackheads and whiteheads, I thought of trying it out. I bought a Pack of Purederm Nose Pore Strips, available at Watsons, for Php79.00. A pack contains three pore strips.

How to Use:

1. Thoroughly wash your face, making sure that it is free of any creams or make up.

2. Open the pack with your dry hands.

3.  Thoroughly wet your nose with water. If your nose is not wet enough, the strip may not stick and may not be effective.

4. Apply the strip to moistened nose area with the shiny side facing your skin. Press down and smooth out air bubbles, ensuring good contact with the skin.

5. Let the strip dry for 10 to 15 minutes. The strip should feel stiff as it dries.

6. After the strip is dried, slowly and carefully peel off strip starting at edges, pulling toward center. If there are any residue, rinse off with water.

Wanna see how much dirt did it removed on my nose? 

          Here's the proof. Eeeew! right?! I know you shouldn't be seeing this but I just want to show you guys that this prod really works. I was amazed how this pore strips removed sebum and blackheads on my nose. Although it did not totally removed the visible blackheads,  I can still see the big difference before and after using the strips. It really lessened my blackheads. I also like that it did not hurt nor irritate my skin afterwards. I'm giving this product 4 out of 5 stars. I would probably buy again. :)
