Review: Daiso Blackhead Peeling Mask

I'm doing a super quick review on this blackhead peeling mask from daiso. You can get it from Vancouver/Richmond in BC (from the actual Daiso store, it's about $2), somewhere in Japan and from eBay of course which is around $6.

When I used this product for the first time it burned, not the application part but the peeling part! After a couple uses it no longer burned, but I felt that it did not work as well as my Biore nose strips. Those things take out all the nasty things on my nose and makes it all smooth an feel very clean! (the Biore strips range from $7 to $14 though). The daiso one does a decent job though, just make sure you apply a thick amount of product on your nose of face. I have tried it on my forehead and it worked pretty well did hurt so bad either.

To sum it all up: it's worth a try for $2, it does a pretty good job for those with less blackheads.

CNE Makeup Haul 2011

As soon as I came back from working in Jamaica I returned to work at the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) in Toronto. It's a somewhat big fair that comes to Toronto every year for 2 weeks of August. There is a warehouse outlet every years and consists of stores such as Bluenotes, Stiches and Sirens. (There used to be a Fairweather, Costa Blanca and I think a Suzy Shier) There was also 2 makeup/nail accessory warehouses too, and as always I buy a shit load of nail polish but not as much as I used too. They carried Sally Hansen, NYC, Rimmel, Borghese and Elizabeth Arden. Most nail polishes were $1.25 each or $7 for $8 (It used to be $1 each and 8 for $7) and the Borgghese/Elizabeth Arden ones where $2 each. As for makeup they had a good selection of Rimmel, Revlon and a small selection of Maybelline, Covergirl, Lancaster, Lancome and Dior (they had the foundation spray for only $33 O_O but I think they only had the shade 400.
