Product Review: Sephora 3 in 1 Extractor

Pimples are disgusting to look at and can mess up the appearance of the most intricate makeup looks. But if you’re a freak like me, behind closed doors you are a pimple popping addict. That’s right I love to pop pimples…and the bigger the better.

That’s why, when I got my hands on the 3 in 1 Extractor from the Sephora Collection is was a game changer.

I have combination skin and suffer all skin issues. The problem with popping pimples before left my skin red and flaky. I found with the introduction of this tool it prevented the flakiness of the breakout.

This extractor is great for getting all of the bacteria out of the pore in one go. Thus drastically speeding up the healing time of a pimple.

I have found that the number of new pimples I have been decreasing. This is because I’m not spreading bacteria on my face by taking multiple goes to squeeze zits with my fingers.

The 3 in 1 extractor retails for $29 CAD on the Sephora Website. The flat white head side works amazing and I can’t say anything negative about it.

However, that can’t be said for the wired blackhead side as I have to extract a blackhead with it. The lance is large on this device, either works well or agitates the skin. I prefer to use my own lance (a tapestry needle) over the extractor.

I feel the price is great for this tool. I’ve had great success with the white head side, and this is becoming a Holy Grail tool in my skincare routine.

Product Review: Garnier BB Skin Perfector Cream

Anyone who wears a full coverage foundation knows of the hassle to put on your face when you merely want a quick trip for groceries. I was looking for something that provided coverage but wouldn’t break me out.

So along came the Garnier BB Skin Perfector Cream for Combination skin! Followed by some disappointment….

This product retails for approximately $15.97 and I picked it up at Wal-Mart.

I am a light-skinned individual with pink undertones. When I opened the bottle it looked like it was for a sun-kissed goddess –not my snow white ass. The biggest disappointment was that I purchased this in the lightest shade…

When I put this on my skin, it needs to be worked in as it goes on streaky. As well as, it will extenuate pores and make them look like there are orange blackheads emerging when looking up close.

I found it did not blur imperfections and I had oil break through around the 90-minute mark.

Overall, I did not enjoy this product and don’t recommend it.
