Review and Rant

Now, I don't usually post about products that I don't like since I always believe that a product will always work for someone, just that it wasn't the case for me. But this product got me so irritated that I had to rant about it. It's wasn't about the performance, it was about the quality. Not to mention that it didn't perform on me either.

Remember I mentioned buying the Tea Tree Blemish Stick in one of my previous haul post?

First of all, I was kind of horrified and stumped by the packaging after opening the box. The product was housed in a packaging that was similar to that of a lip-gloss.

Imagine an acne product being packaged in such a way?! I know I should have checked, but who would have thought that a product in this category would be packaged in such conflicting way?

Imagine all the germs and bacteria that gets returned to the ENTIRE bottle of product after you have applied on your acne?!

I wouldn't be so frizzed up if it wasn't for the fact that this product is supposed to help you clear your blemishes, not aggravate it.

And so, I was especially carefully when taking out the product. I would dig out the product, dab on my clean hands before using my fingers to dab onto my acne area. But barely 2 weeks after opening the product, below was what I saw. There was some milky residue being formed near the opening of the bottle.

Is this supposed to be happening? I really don't know. But as far as I'm concerned, I'm not going use this anymore. Back to my Origins Spot Remover. It has never failed me, except for the price. But given what I've gone through, I'm going back to it.

Random Drugstore Hauls

Some random drugstore buys over the past week...

CanMake Cream Cheek Blush (S$17.90). Ever since my ma used her lipstick as blush on me eons ago, I've been intrigued by cream blushes. However, due to my skin sensitivity, I don't usually use blush since I already have this "natural" reddish tone on my cheeks.

Furthermore, I already have a nice Kose blush that my sister bought me as Christmas present last year.

But being in need of retail therapy, I bought this blush anyway. I got the 01 shade which is a very sheer shimmery pink with a faint peachy undertone since I have to be mindful not to overdo on my blush.

Next is Nivea Facial Cleansing Wipes (S$9.50). I got this out of desperation. We were having our family portrait taken and the ladies who did our makeup went over the top on eyeshadows and eye liners. I had this huge patch of black eyeliner that I almost scared my own self in the mirror. Not to mention that the makeup that they used was causing an itch on the skin.

The cream cleanser that I brought along wasn't performing well and we had to go for a dinner after that. So, I had to run to the nearest Watson's and purchase this fuss-free makeup remover.

A sigh of relief swept through us when we finally can get the gaudy and bad quality makeup off our delicate faces.

The Ingredients...

Lastly, Tea Tree Blemish Stick (S$10.95). The SebaMed pimple gel that I bought wasn't what I would exactly term as "working". So I was thinking maybe this would help (hopefully).
