Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate



I became interested in Kiehl's Midnight Recover Concentrate after I saw it in a magazine. Emmy Rossum was sharing her favorite products, and this was one of them. She said she wakes up every morning a little brighter because of this oil. Now, I've always noticed Emmy's perfect porcelain skin, so when she offers to share her skincare secrets, I am not one to turn away.

I tried it and I fell in love. Noted, my face looked a little greasy after putting it on, but it's nighttime so who cares? Woke up in the morning feeling like P Diddy. Skin was brighter, softer, and did not look greasy at all. My skin must have soaked it all up. Very mysterious stuff. Highly recommended.

How to use: I use a couple drops around my eyes and cheek bones because these areas start to wrinkle first. Saves me a step, and it works wonderfully. Then I use a couple more drops for the rest of my face. and neck.

Laneige Blackhead Melting Gel + Blackhead Pore Strip



Song Hye Kyo is my goddess!!! ♡♡♡



     Her skin always looks so clear and luminous! How does she do it?? Anyway, this review is about blackheads, and how to get rid of them. Laneige has a new line of products that promises to get rid of blackheads. I'm reviewing the blackhead melting gel and pore strips because they come together and they are the most important products in the entire line. 




MY REVIEW: 

     The gel comes in a pretty bottle. Very easy to use. Gets REALLY hot on my face, but I tried it on my boyfriend and he said he didn't feel a thing :/  (Am I imagining it? No, I did it again and I SWEAR it gets really hot) I think it's because his skin wasn't dry enough the first time we tried. *Skin needs to be dry.


     Then after 20 seconds, you rinse off the gel and you stick the pore strip on. The pore strip stays on for 10-15 minutes. When I took it off, it really works! I saw gross little blackheads on the strip. My boyfriend's showed the same. The strip was more effective around the edges. 




     For now, I really like this product. Will continue to use and see the effects. 

   final rating: "★★★★"
