Review: Egg Pore Nose Pack by Tonymoly

While I was at the mall, this little product caught my attention. It's called Egg pore Nose Pack from Tonymoly. The main reason I bought it was cause it was cheap. They sell this in individual sachets, so it's very convenient. No need to buy one whole pack when you need just one. 

Tonymoly is one of my favourite skin care line. ^^, It's one of the rare Korean skin care line that doesn't give me a break out.

Most of the writings are in Korean, but don't let that intimidate you since there's an English instruction at the bottom. I wonder what all those words mean, though,

the strip is in an M shape. I'm assuming this shape is for most korean noses which tends to have a really low pointing nose tip. My nose points upward unfotunately, so the fit of this nose strip is a bit awkward. When I tried it on, it smelled like cigarettes. Or an airconditioned room where a smoker has been. Pretty much, I'm not a fan of its scent. 

Does it work?

Lol ok disgusting but the strip didn't get much black head from my nose, but I am happy to see the roots.

 I think this item works, but it would depend on how you apply it. I moistened my nose, applied the nose strip. It didn't get that much black head and it didn't seem to clear my nose like it promised. Later I found out there was a mistake in my part. Your nose should be dripping wet for it to be more effective. Otherwise, the strip won't be as effective and it will not stick. 

Would I buy it again? I suppose, if my nose needs another clearing from the black heads. However, next time I'll try their other nose strip lines. The peel off strip doesn't seem to work well with me. 

REVIEW: Kuru Kuru Lint remover by DAISO/SAIZEN

As everyone knows, I sell vintage clothes. It's not required, but to ensure quality, I restore the vintage pieces into something close to brand new. One of the problems I face with these used clothes is the lint. This phenomena is called pilling. it's when the cloth's ther I'm sure everyone has that problem. A particular favourite shirt of yours that you love to wear so much that after a month or two, it now looks as if that piece of article is older than a kindergartener. From something you can wear outside the house, that piece looks like something you'd wear when you're by yourself inside the house with no sunlight.

the sad piece of my only tshirt (I'm a blouse person)  

 After researching the net, I found out this problem can be solved with a razor, and for a year, I have used this technique to get rid of the pilling. It works well, but it can get tedious. Really tedious. Another sad part about this technique is the danger of cutting the clothes! this has happened to me once or twice and it has given me lots of panic attacks.

If your clothes generally pills, like severely pilling kind of cloth, pretty much you'd rather use the razor and slit your wrists than shaving off the pilling. =_=

After looking around Daiso, I saw this item by accident. I didn't buy it at first since I was hesitant, but after telling my little sister about it, I realized I regret not buying that thing.

Like all items in Daiso, this was just 88 php. Don't be fooled, you can't find this at Japan Home Center. Look for DAISO SAIZEN. Not Japan home Center Saizen.

See the blades

The product is rather flimsy. It feels mush like a toy, only it's dangerous cause it's like an electric razor.

I tried it out as soon as I got home

spot the difference

And WHOA!! This thing is AMAZING!! truly Japanese people are sent by God for mankind. In the photo above, I used the remover on the right side of the picture. You can see the cloth started looking a little better

you can see the lint at the container, 

God bless you Japanese people.


I'm starting to believe Jesus is living in Japan!!!

Japanese people seems to be good at making seemingly nonesense things but actually brings about convenience.

Miracle!!!

What I love about it:
The item is cheap like all Daiso products. It works well and delivers its promise!

What I dislike:
hmmm, I guess it feels flimsy? like you're holding a toy, but I guess that's to be expected since the item is very cheap. If it gets broken, I can easily buy another and I would probably have used this item to its limit before it dies on me.

also, the way it removes the pilling isn't as good as a razor, as you can see at the picture above. But it does save time and feels much safer than just using a regular shaver. It won't give you a brand new looking shirt, but it will make your article like you have worn it just once or twice. Much like an age miracle cream. It won't give you a supple baby skin, but it can slash off several years.

if your shirt just have some spots where it pills a  lot like the under arm area, this item would be good too, but if general like mine, you'd get something like I have above. Also, you can use it at the edges without worries unlike a razor which might rip the fabric.

All in all, I still think it's a God sent miracle to mankind. 9.5 out of 10. I would still use a razor with this, but it will get the hard to remove pilling from your fabric.
