Garnier Blackhead Eliminating Scrub Review

 

Product Review:
Garnier Blackhead Eliminating Scrub



 
 
I would love to start off by saying, I absolutely love this facial scrub! I requested a sample on Garnier.com. After trying out the sample, I ended up purchasing a bottle at my local drugstore for $5.99. My skin type is: combination, sensitive. I used to use Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub, but  I stopped because it was making my T-zone more oily than ever which caused more breakouts so I decided to find another product to use. At first I didn't think this scrub was going to be any better, but it proved me wrong.

 

Active Ingredients: Salicylic Acid (2%) (Acne Treament)

Inactive Ingredients: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulftate, Polyethylene, Sodium Chloride, Acrylates Copolymer, Coco-Betaine, Cocamide MEA, Glycerin, Charcoal Powder, Citric Acid, Iron Oxides, Polygycerin-10, Polyglyceryl-10 Myristate, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, PPG-5-Ceteth-20, Sodium Hydroxide, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Fragrance

Use: for the treatment of acne

Directions:
  • Wet hands and face 
  • Squeeze scrub into hands and rub together 
  • Apply to face and massage gently, avoiding contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse eyes thoroughly with water 
  • Rinse face thoroughly

This product is an oil-free gel cleanser that contains charcoal. It claims to unclog pores and clear complexion, and it is recommended for oily skin.



This is how it would look when you massage the scrub onto your face (example on my hand).

I have been using this product every two days for over a month. I only use it around my T-zone because that is where I am more vulnerable to having blackheads and breakouts. My skin has cleared up a lot. Not only my skin was smooth, but my pores were diminished. This scrub has a great scent to it. At first, I was nervous about using the scrub which contained charcoal. But let me tell you, the charcoal beads in the scrub is definitely a good exfoliator. Just recently, I had a breakout around my chin area. I used this scrub and it basically scrubbed away my zits. I couldn't be any more satisfied with this product.


Recommended? Everyone's skin is different, but I would still recommend this product. You'd never know if it would work for you or not until you give it a try. Let me know what you guys think about the Garnier Blackhead Scrub.  Also, if you have any questions, feel free to comment below! I was trying to make this a quick review, hoping not to leave anything out. Thanks for stopping by :)

mgramcases.com REVIEW

Monogram Phone Cases
mgramcases.com Review

hey guys! this is going to be just a short, quick review (well it's not that short, but it is to me :))


So I saw this great deal on these cute phone cases (3 for $20). I decided to purchase them on August 26, 2014. Normally, when you purchase something, the company or whoever sends an email to thank you for purchasing their items from their website. I DID NOT hear anything from them so I was worried and ended up emailing them two days later. Someone finally replied and said "it generally takes 24-48 hours to reply, but hopefully sooner." Which I felt relieved after hearing a reply.

The female that emailed me said, "It will take about 3 weeks to process through production, shipment, and delivery. Also, when everything is done, USPS will send a confirmation number. " It's understandable because of this special price, many people will place their orders too. But yet, I was disappointed because of their lack of good customer service.

Well, it was passed 3 weeks so I emailed them again (I was getting frustrated with their customer service) because I checked my bank account, they have been withdrawn the money. I started to think they were scamming. I end up emailing them again. I asked why haven't I heard anything about the products I purchased and then I demanded a refund....  Funny thing is that, instead of replying to me, they FINALLY send an email with the tracking number, letting me know that the shipping label was made.

It took over 3 weeks to process everything, more than 2 weeks to be shipped off.. I received my order on October 6, 2014. After all the horrible customer service and the waiting, I thought I was going to be happy with the cases at least and........ it never fails!  (LOL) I wasn't happy at all.

The pink ones are my Galaxy S5. Penguin is for a Galaxy S3 (which was for a gift).

The cases are not like how they are advertised on their website. The white trim makes it uglier. And also, my monkey case has only half of the face. One thing that bothered me was, why did they bother selling that case for a Galaxy S5?! I tried to get a refund just to see how they would respond to it............. they never replied!



Would I recommend this website to anyone?
Of course NOT.. It would definitely waste your time and money




Thanks for reading this blog. I just wanted to share this review to people who may have seen, or will see, this advertised on facebook or elsewhere. Just don't get to happy about it because your happy shopping will be ruin.. lol

September 2014 Fashion Jewelry Haul: ShopMissA

Hi everyone!!!
 
I know it's been a while since the last time I've blogged,
but at least I am back again. :)
 
 
Fashion Jewelry Haul
everything for $1:   ShopMissA
 
 Today, I will share my fashion jewelry haul with you, and I will also give a review. At ShopMissA.com, they sell fashion accessories, cosmetics, and many more for only $1!! I only ordered the accessories because I needed to add more to my collection.
 
I was so excited to finally receive my items. I have to say, the packaging was great.
They secured the items with the bubble wrap so that the accessories do not break.
It took about 2-3 days to ship the items after they sent me the confirmation number.



Here are the 21 items I purchased for $21 (of course); shipping was only $3.95. I only took pictures of 20 items close-up because the purplish pearl set was the same as the white pearl set.











I have to say....I absolutely love their earrings. I find their earrings more likeable than their necklaces and bracelets. The colors of the accessories are true to what were displayed on their website. The quality is good if you aren't into the high-end type of jewelry so don't expect them to last a lifetime.
 
 
 
 
I only had a problem with one of the earrings throughout the whole purchase.. this earring was defective. The metal part is tarnished, and the rhinestone isn't properly fit (on the right picture, the right side). I didn't try to return the item or contact them to file a complaint about the defective item because then I'll be wasting time over a set of $1 earrings which would be absurd. But what could you expect if the items were $1! With that being said, I was happy with my purchase.

 
 
Would I shop here again? Of course!
 
If you aren't into brand names and you're a budget shopper, this would work out great for you.
I am not trying to advertise their website, and I definitely do not get paid. 
But this is just from my shopping experience. Hope you guys enjoyed the review.
Let me know how it worked for you if you happen to shop there. :)
