Charcoal nose pore strips and eye gel patches

Charcoal Nose Pore Strips

I've used other nose pore strips before but these looked a little different than the other ones. This is probably because of the charcoal which makes them black. They work the same though with the same type directions which are wetting your nose and applying the strip, leave it for 10-15 minutes then gently peel it off. The results for me where good and removed a lot from the sides of my nose. They do leave a black mark around the outside of where the strip was but it comes off easily with water. I didn't see any difference in these charcoal strips then with the normal ones I've used before. I thought maybe they would draw more out or something but the result although good were the same as I usually get with other strips. They were only €1.50 so for that price I recommend giving them a go as they do work and there is 6 in the box so works out as only 25 cents per strip. I bought these in Mr. Price as well as the eye gel patches which were also €1.50

Was so hard to take a photo of them on they are so slippy!! 

These are something I've been dying to try for ages. They seem to be everywhere lately but that doesn't always mean they're good or they work. I've seen some online that are really expensive but sound exactly like these ones so I got these to try. They look and sound great but when I opened them the feel of them almost put me off, but I kept going and tried them anyway. Basically you put them on under your eyes on clean skin, leave them for a while and remove them. These ones are anti-aging and hydrating. It's the hydrating part I'm after, my eyes are so dry and puffy lately from the winter weather kicking in. The night I used them I was really tired and my eyes were so sore. I found these really cooling and strangely comfortable. I don't know what I was expecting they just seemed really strange at first until I put them on my face. My eyes were definitely less puffy after using these and they still looked like that the next morning. They suggest using them often which would be handy for tired eyes.

Doll white teeth whitening strips.

I received a 14 day pack of teeth whitening strips from Doll White recently which is so nice of them to send me and was so excited. These strips are mint flavoured and contain NO peroxide. I have noticed my teeth which have always been naturally white not so much lately. I drink a lot of tea and other things that don't exactly help so this was something that was on my mind to try out but with so many whitening products I couldn't figure out which to try so them sending me these was the perfect solution at just the right time. I thought the best way to do a review of these would be to keep a little diary sort of thing of my progress. So anyway here is my progress of my 14 day journey of whitening my teeth. 

Day one

After reading the instructions I decided to give them a go so I brushed my teeth dried them a bit, which feels weird then applied the strips to the top and bottom of my teeth. It's actually very simple I didn't have to move them around or adjust them or anything. They feel a little strange on and kept thinking they would fall off but it's ok they don't move even a little. I left them for 30 minutes and by that time I hardly knew they where there really. I peeled them off and cleaned any gel that was left off. That was it so simple I even noticed a slight difference not a huge one but a slight one. I have 13 more days to go so will keep a track of how I'm doing through the 14 days. The only thing I have against these so far is that I'm not a huge mint fan but that is just me and since they are not hugely minty I suppose I'll be grand maybe even get used to it lol.

Day six

Definitely seeing changes in my teeth. They are getting whiter every time I use the strips and I'm getting a bit better with the mint flavour (I'm really terrible you should see me around lemon flavoured things Yuck). I have used them everyday except for one as I wasn't feeling to well but apart from that it's going great so far. I usually put the strips on at night before bed because my teeth feel so nice and clean after that I don't want to eat anything lol.

Day 14

It been 14 days of using the teeth whitening strips and I've gotten so used to putting them on in the evenings that I think I'm going to miss them. Ok so after 14 days I can easily say that they made a huge difference, not only did I notice but I have had other people asking me if I was using something new like toothpaste or something. These strips are great and handy to use which is why I'm going to be buying a pack of these so I can keep going and get my teeth as white as possible. I have never used anything like this before or anything to whiten my teeth except for toothpaste so I was very intrigued by the strips.

You can check out their website Here which had tones of information on it and also has their shop where you can buy the strips. The 14 day pack is £19.99 which works out as less then £1.50 a day and they also come in packs of 28, 42 and 56.

Thanks for reading.

Nose Pore Strips

I picked these up as an impulse buy not knowing how good they are but they where only €1.50 for 6. They are described as cleansing nose pore strips for removing blackheads and unclogging pores. 

The directions say to apply to a clean wet nose, and then to smooth the srtip  over the nose to get ride of any bubbles. They suggest that it should be left on for about 10-15 minutes. By this time it feels rock hard. Next is to remove it by slowly pulling it away from the skin on the side of the nose. My skin is sensitive and I wasn't very gentle removing it the first time so it did sting a bit. The second time I was more carefull and it didn't hurt. The results can be seen instantly on the strip. So if you suffer from backheads in this area you should see quite a lot like I did. The skin on my nose felt so soft afterwards. 

My nose is an area that is oily and I get a lot of blackheads here as well as my cheeks just beside my nose. I wanted to see if the strips would help me with the blackheads on my cheeks too so I cut one in half and applied it in the same way and yes it worked great. 

I have used these twice now on my nose and can really see a difference. I hope by using them more often like twice a week as they suggest I can improve the look of the pores on my nose.
