[Holika Holika][Review] Pig-nose Clear Blackhead Perfect Sticker

Out of all nose strips that I have been trying, this Pig-nose Clear Blackhead Perfect Sticker is one of the best.

I have read a lot of good review on it and actually I used to use this one from Biore (the black one, there are 2 types and I always bought the 'super' one) that I bought back in Australia. After I move out from there, I tried the Biore they have in Singapore... Packaging is different and the effect is also not as good as the one I used to use. It left residue and did not really took out the blackhead. During that time, I bought the one from Faceshop. Although it does not perform as good and also left residue, it is way better than the Biore I bought in Singapore.

I went to Australia for holiday last year and picked my favourite Biore nose strip! The packaging was different but I did not suspect anything... until I tried it and I was like 'BRING ME BACK MY BIORE NOSE STRIP!' No they are not the same!

When I went back to Indonesia, I roamed around shopping mall and went in to Holika Holika. The shop is big in Mall Taman Anggrek! The products seem to be more complete than the one in Singapore *for some reason Holika Holika is not popular here*. I bought a pack of this famous nose strip for Rp100.000 (less than SGD10). I have seen a lot of great review on this but I don't know why I did not try to order it online LOL.

Cute packaging... pink is not really my style tho

There are 10 sheets on each pack

The first time I tried it... I am pretty impressed! It took out the naughty blackhead on my nose! And it does not leave any residue at all (as long as you make your nose wet and you leave it long enough). One of the bad things about this product is its side effect. Maybe it is just me, but every time I use it I will feel a bit of itchiness on my nose. It only lasts for a moment though... so I think it will not stop me from using this product. Another thing is... it does not really take out all the blackheads... some very naughty ones need to be taken care by other means (read: by my fingers LOL).

Please excuse my nasty pores and panda eyes

They recommend to leave it for 10-15 minutes but if you feel that it is still not 'hardened' enough, you have to leave it longer. I would usually leave it for 20minutes. When you peel the thing, make sure to peel it from the sides... slowwwly... and I always pull the skin on my cheeks gently to make sure that the blackhead on the side of my nose can be taken out.

I am still searching for a better nose strip... but for now I think this is the best one yet! It is cheaper if you buy it at Kpoptown: USD4.41 each pack excluding shipping fee.

Scroll more for the nasty used sheet...

Eww...

[Sharing] Innisfree Best Loved Kit for VIP Members

Since I am a VIP member of Innisfree Singapore, I received this kit. They said this one is the first official membership kit! Yay! I am not sure if it is in Korea/other places, but I think it is for Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Hong Kong since when I registered for the kit on the website, these 4 countries are listed.

If someone ask me why Innisfree is my favourite? One of the reasons for me is it is eco friendly. I like how Innisfree's concept is close to nature. Their products are also natural; not only the ingredients but also the 'smell' and 'feel' of the products. I love how their products do not smell 'fake' or too 'sweet'. There is a funny feeling that I have with Innisfree... It feels like I can trust their products haha. I also think that their prices are reasonable (in Singapore). If I can travel to Korea, I would definitely go to Innisfree shop and have my shopping spree! And of course I need to go to their Jeju Island Shop!!!

At the moment, most of my skincare and basic makeup products are from Innisfree and I'm glad that I get this kit because I use 3 out of 4 products on this kit! How great it is they give the light version of Soybean Energy Essence and super version of Jeju Volcanic Pack! Exactly what I am using!

Green Tea Seed Serum 30ml

Look how cute it is!

Soybean Energy Essence (Light) 50ml - my review

Jeju Orchid Enriched Cream 30ml

Capsule Recipe Pack - Jeju Volcanic (Super) 10g
This is the 'capsule' version of their Jeju Volcanic Pore Mask

I always love love love love love small/miniature/travel/sample because they are easy to bring when I travel. So I think I will save the greentea serum and soybean essence for my next family trip.

I have heard a lot about their orchid line so I will give it a chance and see if I like it. I am not really into cream type products but since I get it for free and it is for anti-aging, I will try it haha.

[Sharing][Haul] Innisfree 6th Shop at Vivo City

As an Innisfree fan, of course I should visit to their new shop at Vivo City :)

The in shop ongoing promotions currently are:

1. Green Tea Line Set
2. Volcanic Line Set
3. Freebies for above S$100 purchase

And I think the new member freebies is also on.
Too bad the soap making kit was only available on grand opening day on the 1st of July.

My purchase was more than S$100, so I get Green Tea Balancing Special Kit, Best Capsule Recipe Pack Collection, Lee Minho Cardholder and Green Tea Eco Bag!

I bought the newly launched Super Volcanic Clay Mask (3rd from left) and Jeju Volcanic Mousse Cleanser (rightmost one)

Great for travelling!

Since I know someone who is Lee Minho's fan, I think I will give it to her :D

And today was also the no plastic bag day, so they gave me a travel size Wine Jelly Sleeping Pack. I do love minis, samples and travel size things because I can carry them easily when I travel.

At the shop, they are promoting their new Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask that is actually similar to their tube type clay mask.

The original one. I honestly do not use it anymore because I am lazy.

Current promotion for this one is you will get a free volcanic pore kit solution and headband!

Jeju Volcanic Pore Solution Kit: Toner (13ml), Lotion (13ml) and Essence (8ml)

They do have both types: Volcanic Clay Mask (S$28 for 100ml) and Super Volcanic Clay Mask (S$29 for 100ml). I got myself the Super type since I have oily skin.
I also bought the newly launched Jeju Volcanic Mousse Cleanser (S$17 for 150ml). I am still unsure how this works... I think it is similar to bubble cleaner?

Vivo City shop also has the corner for perfume, diffuser and soap making. There are some nice smelling perfume but since I have just bought a new bottle of perfume, I would wait for a while to get another one. Soap making corner looks interesting but there was no shop assistant at the moment so I passed it. Well, I do not really like bar soaps honestly so... yeah.

So from today's shopping, my freebies are...

This time they do give a lot LOL

I have too many small travel size things and samples already and I actually do not use most of them haha so I don't know what I can do with them.

The shop is located at 1 HarbourFront Walk #B1-02 Vivo City, Singapore. From MRT, you can just take the escalator once. It is located side by side to Etude House new shop.

Review will come soon for the clay mask and cleanser!
