Q&A, Boscia Skincare, laneige Mask, Sabon Organics Line

I received many questions regarding the extractor tool from my previous post...


how do you use this tool? I usually use this when my pores are open, gently scrape the round side over areas where my white heads are most prone to develop. Apply a pressure where needed. The flat side is for blackheads but I don't find it very effective, I can actually remove blackheads with the round side too. Don't forget to clean the tool with some alcohol when finished. I also have the extractor with lance from Sephora but it doesn't work that well for me.

I've been in love with certain Boscia products lately and picked some up for my upcoming asia trip...


Boscia Clear Complexion kit with botanical blast. The size is perfect for my travel! Comes with cleanser, toner, serum for complexion treatment, and daytime cream with SPF15. My skin was being moody the last few weeks and I've experienced some breakouts. I started using this kit last week and its clearing up nicely!



Boscia Normal to Oily kit, contains cleanser, toner, day and night cream. I have the full size toner in this kit and like it very much. This will serve as my backup kit to the one above.




Bosica Clarifying Detox Mask. Its a light weight mask, I liked the sample so went back and got the full size version. I'm packing this for my trip too

I finally got around to using the Laneige Water Bank Sheet Mask...


25ml packets with two sheets in each pack to cover top and bottom


I can't say that I'm a fan of these masks. They sting my face when I use it! Not sure what's causing it to do that. I had a similar reaction to the VOV sheet masks :(

Sabon released a organic line! They gave out a sample pack that comes with a 20% discount coupon towards your next purchase...


I went in to wash my hands with the new organic scrub and tried the lotion. It doesn't smell as pleasant as their regular scrubs and lotion but it does the same job plus its all natural. Read more about the new line at their site.





I finished watching the Sopranos!
One of the best series I've ever watched, its smart and addictive.

Lazy me, still haven't packed or booked all the hotels yet =X Leaving this Sunday! Agh! Picking up the JR Railway pass tomorrow, that's something off the list I guess haha.

    Have you tried the Laniege WaterBank cream? Old Cow got me some, and now it's my HG for long haul flights!

    Make sure your hotels have internet access so you can continue to update us!

  5. i have the exact same extracter. I just use the thinner side cause like you said the other side is kinda useless. I just apply pressure on blackheads/whiteheads and it pops right out.

  27. I have never had any Boscia products yet, but the skincare kit seems to be really nice!

    What a pity, you didn't like the Langei mask. I prefer sheet masks than cream masks somehow.
