The black head remover dual sheet was originally an impulse buy to say the least. I was cruising ebay and noticed that when you purchased this you got two BB cream samples. So I pulled a "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and bought this product in order to get the two free ones. All and all it was still a steal (at least, I think so. My boyfriend doesn't seem to think so but what's it to him, yah? c:) I got this product for two American dollars and free shipping. (plus the two BB cream samples which were smaller than I though. :B)
So moving on, Etude house is a Philippian makeup and cosmetics brand. It's branched itself all over Asia and even onto Australia, but it's yet to really make a splash here in the States. Yet, so make bloggers (like myself) are nuts for the stuff.
My boyfriend thought I would have so much difficulty cause of how it's an Asian brand, he though t the instructions would be in an Asian language, but haha I showed him!
There are English instructions on one half! :P
But yeah, there's two parts to the strip. the first being the actual black head remover sheet. I though tit's be like most of the removers we have here in the states; one that like tightens and yanks the blackhead out, but I was wrong.
It's a piece of cotton that is sopping with the remover serum. Etude says the sheet is formulated specially with a fruit complex that supplies Alpha Hydroxy Acids for mild skin exfoliation. The formula draws out the dirt in pores for easy wipe off removal with no pain.
No pain is right, this stuff so soooo soothing! The first step is suppose to sit on for fifteen minutes and it's fifteen minutes of bliss! It's this amazing cooling, tingly feeling on your nose. It's like sticking just your nose in snow on a hot day. the serum is gooey, but not sticky. At first the sheet slid off my nose because of amount of product packed into this thing.
The first step alone is already worth the two dollars, yah!
The second step was the tightening gel sheet. Etude says again: Formulated wit fresh herbs to soothe and close pores. Over all, this half was just weird. The first step never said it was suppose to soothe or cool or tingle or anything, the second step was suppose to do all that but it didn't. The gel on the sheet was cold, but it didn't give me the cooling tingly feeling like step one had. This part was overly sticky, as well. It latched on to my nose and became ooze and it warmed up, gross.
But over all I give this product a 2.5/5. I really did like step one, it made my nose feel nice and clean. Step two, however, made me really sad (for lack of better description OTL ). The actual use of this product was fair. It didn't do the same amount a good ol' Biore strip would have done, but it did improve the little acne I have around my nose. Like said before, I don't know what to think. I am in mad love with my Etude house makeup, but this being the first skincare product I've used from them it severely lacks. I don't plan on repurchasing this any time soon. :C
