Nu-pore Cleansing Strips are a one-step cleansing treatment specifically designed to unclog pores and lift away blackheads. The strips remove the dirt and oil which clog pores, leaving your skin and smooth. You’ll feel a dramatic difference after just one use, and continued use of Nu-pore Cleansing Strips works to tighten pores, keeping skin looking and feeling fresh.

My Thoughts:

I got this pack of Nu-pore nose strips at my local 99 cents store and for what I paid, they worked really good. They’re easy to use and each box comes with three nose strips. Honestly, after the strip dries on your nose and you start peeling it off, oh man, it can really hurt. The good thing is that it only takes a few seconds to remove and the results are well worth the pain, I think. :)

After I remove the strips from my nose, I really like looking at the strip and seeing all the blackheads, dirt and all the other junk that was on my nose on the strip. It’s really cool!

Anyways, after using one of these nose strips my nose was smooth and very soft. I recommend Nu-pore cleansing strips, they work just as well or even better then those more expensive ones.

My Thoughts:

I once bought this cleansing cream a long time ago, I think I was in my pre-teen years when I first used this stuff. I remember buying it and for whatever reason thinking it sucked. Hahaha. Back then, I didn’t know what the heck a cleansing cream was, I bought it thinking it was a face moisturizer! I remember using it and thinking something is wrong with this “moisturizer”, why won’t it blend into my skin and why the heck do I have to wash it off? :o I know, I know…it’s embarrassing to admit that a long time ago, I didn’t know what the difference between a deep cleansing cream and a face moisturizer was. ;)  Anyways, I never used it after that “bad experience” that is of course, until now. And girl…let me tell you…it’s AMAZING! I love it!

Now that I know what a cleansing cream is and how to use this stuff, I’m so happy that I gave this product a second chance. Seriously, I was surprised how well this product works and how good it made my skin look and feel. This Deep Cleansing Cream removed all of my makeup with almost no effort. And it really did leave my skin soft, feeling refreshed and looking healthy.

In a nutshell, I really like this stuff and I recommend you get yourself a jar and give it a try because it’s absolutely FABULOUS! Noxzema Deep Cleansing Cream is definitely going on my must-have beauty products…

Jergens All-Purpose Face Cream($4.99, 15oz) Deep cleans your skin to remove makeup and dirt and provides a radiant, dewy base for makeup. Also softens and moisturizes to help smooth skin and fight dryness.

Directions for Use: Smooth generously over your face and throat. Remove with a tissue or leave on overnight.

In a nuttshell: I bought this face cream a few days ago. I usually use POND’S Cold Cream but this last time when I went to Wal-mart, they were all out and I didn’t feel like going to any other stores. So I just picked up a jar of Jergens All-Purpose Face Cream.

I had already used Jergens Face Cream but it was a VERY long time ago. I didn’t even remember if I had liked it or not. Anyways, I bought a large jar of this face cream.  And….I’m in love!!!

You get a lot more product for less money than you do with POND’s. So it’s economical and it makes removing make up EASY. I don’t even have to tug on the delicate skin around my eyes to remove eye make up or mascara.

This face cream is pink and VERY creamy.  It makes my skin feel smooth and look dewy, NOT greasy! The fragrance isn’t all that bad either, it’s tolerable.

The only bad thing about this face cream is that it’s not available in every store, it’s hard to find. So, when I can’t find Jergens Face Cream, I’ll most likely pick up a jar of POND’s instead (I really like both of these face creams).

Overall, Jergens Face Cream works well as a make up remover and a moisturizer.
