An Advanced Treatment for Osmosis Skin Care

Have you been using Osmosis for awhile and need a change. I have a suggestion for you.  It is only for skin that may tolerate a little stronger product. Not for sensitive skin.

Use Clear, Stem Factor, Renew, Replenish and Rescue. You get anti-aging, a more clear and even skin tone.skin tone and excellent results. The Clear helps the products penetrate into the skin and extra hydration.  It is anti-bacterial also.   When you use Renew, you may want to start a few days per week and work your way up.

Stem Factor is Osmosis number one selling product. It contains over 150 different skin growth factors, derived from adult stem cells, that create this magical serum that improves all aspects of skin aging and skin damage. It gently restores the repair process and stimulates new cells to build collagen and elastin, heal hyperpigmentation and reverse aging.

Zoya Nail Polish Review

Zoya came out with some amazing nail polish Dream Boxes plus some new mini sized nail polishes.

I swear they know when I get paid and I can’t resist new nail polishes.

Right now they have 12 minis that you can select from for $5, two pre-selected mini sets of 3 for $12, and 14 full-sized pre-selected sets of 3 Dream Boxes. Damn you Zoya!

You can check out the Zoya Holiday Gift sets and minis. These are great for gifts for yourself or for your nail polish addicts friends and family like myself.

One of the boxes I bought is the Zoya Sugar Plum Trio that has Haven, Thea, and Margo.

I used Haven and Thea on my nails for the look for today.

Haven by Zoya can best be described as a true holiday plum liquid metal with a thin vein of orchid to ensure brilliance.

Color Family - Purple 
Finish - Metallic 

Thea by Zoya can be best described as a deep amethyst Magical PixieDust with an orchid flash, packed full of party-ready holographic hex glitter.

Color Family - Purple 
Finish - PixieDust 

I used two coats of Zoya Haven then on my accent nail, I painted my tips with Zoya Thea and on my middle finger I did some polka dots, then topped it off with a top coat.

At first I only did the tips of my accent nails. Then later decided to do the polka dots on my middle fingers.

I wish I could wear any color and designs at work but I have to wait for my days off and vacations to wear them. I will rock them out when I can though!

Have you ordered any of the Zoya Dream Box sets yet?

If your a purple lover, hen this set is definitely something you can rock.

Until next time Dolls!

Etude House Wonder Pore Freshner Review

By the time our Skin Food Gold Kiwi Toner was almost empty, I began my search for another toner.

I really want a toner that can help minimize the appearance of pores on my nose.

Etude House is another Korean Cosmetic company that is getting a loyal local fan base. It is mainly because of their good marketing strategy. Their image is more on the feminine and cute side of skin care and cosmetics.

I and my sister tried one of Etude House Philippines' best selling toner- The Wonder Pore Freshner. This is one of the products in the Wonder Pore Line of Etude House.

The tagline- "I'm the Wonder Woman for your Pores" at the back of the packaging made it more interesting for me to try this product. I told myself that time that I'll see for myself if this will really do wonders for my skin.

Fast forward to 2 weeks after we bought the toner is my review on this product.

This toner claims to do the following (as seen in the photo above):

1. Deep cleanse pores.
2. Maintain ph 4.5, +1,-1
3. Control a large amount of sebum (oil)
4. Minimize appearance of pores
5. Refine skin tones
6.Keep the elasticity of pores
7. Moisturize the inside and outside of the skin

Pros:
a. It comes in an interesting packaging. The bottle is made from plastic. Unlike the Skin Food skin care bottles which are fragile, this is more user-friendly specially for travels.

b. The plastic box packaging is eye catching. It is colorful and has illustrations (though the captions are in Korean language).

c. The toner itself is water-based. Thus, the consistency is just like water. For me it's a pro since it's not sticky or messy to use.

Cons:
a. The smell- I can't figure out what kind of smell it has. It's very light and it smells a little like "water stored in a mineral water bottle for days". Can you imagine?

c. After applying the toner on my face, it had been successful in its claim on moisturizing the skin. As a pore minimizer, it wasn't very successful though. I think I still haven't found the right the product to help me minimize my pores on my nose area. :(

d. It made my face a little bit itchy. I know the toner is water-based and very light but after a few minutes of applying it I feel some itchiness on some parts of my face. I didn't develop any rashes or anything but every now and then I have this urge of  gently patting my nose area or some other parts of my face. I realized it is because it felt a little bit itchy.

Verdict:

If the itchiness continues, I will stop using this toner. I have only used 1/4 of the bottle though. It helps remove the dirt and grime on my face and can moisturize too, but I don't think I can handle the sudden urge to pat my face every now and then after applying this toner. I might as well find another toner from another brand that is a pore minimizer. My skin type by the way is a little bit on the oily side and pores are visible on the nose area. It's effects might be different depending on your skin type.
