A seller who has some connections in Korea recently had a pre-order for the Rilakkuma x A'pieu collection and I asked if I can pre-order the Holika Holika x Gudetama collection. 

I only bought the Character Face Mask and the cream blush. 

Holika Holika 3 Step Pig-nose Clear Blackhead

Hello my loves! I am back again with another review. This time it's from the brand Holika Holika. 

Disclaimer: This product was bought with my own money for the purpose of research. This was not sponsored in any way. I'll always try my best to give the best unbiased review in my blog. 

Anyway, I bought this from my favorite Korean Cosmetic supplier Ji Yuri. She had a flash sale a couple of days ago and I've decided to dive in and try it. 

What it is

This is a 3 step Pore Strip pack. It cleans your skin with impurities such as black heads and white heads. 

How to use it

Steps are pretty simple although everything is written in Korean language so I cannot decipher what it actually says but basically just do all 3. 

First step: Use the first pack which is like an essence that will open your pores and make your pores open so that the impurities can be easily removed. 

That is how it looks like. You need to leave it on your skin for at least 15 mins. 

So after 15 minutes, you go to step two. 

Step Two: The second step is using the actual pore strip that removes the impurities. You need to wet your nose first before putting on the second strip. If your nose isn't wet, the strip would not adhere. You need to leave it on your nose for another 15 minutes. 

**WARNING*** 

Gross picture ahead

After 15 minutes (30 minutes total including the 1st step) this is what my strip looked like

It did remove a lot of black heads and white heads. 

Afterwards, you need to do the last step 

Step 3: Use the last pore strip to soothe your nose. Basically, it's like the healing step of the 3. 

Pros 

- easily available in the market (there's a Holika Holika kiosk in Watsons) 

- you can also buy it online 

- it does the job 

Neutral 

- it can be a little messy to do 

Cons 

- a little bit more expensive than the usual pore strips available 

Would i recommend it to others?

Yes definitely

Would you buy it again?

Yes, I would repurchase

Holika Holika Hello Holika Blusher and Highlighter

Hello beauties! Happy 2015! Last year was a very good year but I'm looking forward to a more blessed and fun-filled year this year. 

Anyway, what better way to start this year with a first look at the Holika Holika blush that I recently purchased from a Korean Website. 

This is the Holika Holika Hello Holika Blush and Highlighter. I know it comes in two shades. The one I got was in number 01.

This product is really not a new one from Holika Holika. I know it's been in their product range for a long time. My attention was caught because of the very cute product design. 

The packaging is also very sleek and cute. 

Oh lovely this blusher is...I just want to stare at it and not use it at all. It's really so pretty. I tried swatching and the product is very creamy. It gives off a pinkish orange blush with some hints of highlight. I shall update this entry with some swatches in the future. It's very dark right now and the pictures won't do justice.
