Review: Konjac Cleansing Sponge

Konjac Cleansing Sponge is my little gentle scrubbing buddy. I got this in my recent haul in Landmark. I just want to try this product so I chose the cheapest one available (it's the smallest one too). This is quite new for me actually, it is a very popular cleansing sponge in Korea and South East Asia but I just recently heard about it. 



So what is a Konjac Sponge?
An all natural sponge made from konjac roots (vegetable fiber) with extra fine texture. It is used for skin cleansing.

Uses:
Cleans pores eliminating blackheads, dirt and oil.
Kills acne/pimple causing bacteria.
Moisturizes your skin upon use.
Exfoliates your skin to bring out natural shine.
Balances the pH of your skin.
Ideal for people with hypersensitive skin.


My Experience: 
It is like a hard pumice stone at first. Instruction says to soak the konjac sponge in water for 3-5 minutes for the initial use. This is being done to soften the product and to transform it to super soft sponge! Massage your face or body with sponge in circling direction: I use this alone or with my facial wash/soap.The konjac sponge I have is the same size of my plushie's head below:

About the same size of the head of my little plushie CJ7.

I like that it is really gentle but I can't attest to it's eliminating blackheads, killing acne/pimple causing property because I think it's too much to ask for a small cleansing sponge. I still get them even I use this sponge, but I really don't mind. I had the chance to use this when my face was micro peeling but it didn't fully helped in exfoliating, maybe because of the fact that it was indeed gentle and soft. However if you'll ask if it made a difference on my skin, then yes. It somehow made my skin look brighter and I highly recommend it to hypersensitive skin because it is an oh-so-natural product.

Where to buy: Landmark

How much: Less than P30 for the smallest konjac sponge



What I love 
  • It's a super gentle cleansing sponge
  • Affordable
  • Brightens up skin with continuous use

What I don't
  •  None
Will I buy again?
I really think I should repurchase, maybe after it is worn out? Around 3 months or so. I dunno. But I do recommend this product if you have ultra sensitive skin, I believe this should work on you. :)

Hope you like my review, see you on my next post!
XOXO

Random Sunday Beauty Haul

I just recently planned a trip to Landmark with my special boy friend. Okay noticed how the words are separated. Haha :)

You know I am into Watsons because it's so accessible but there's just a lot of cool finds in Landmark! I also dropped by HBC, Hortaleza and Saizen to grab a few items. I haven't gone out much since the end of school semester and a change in daily routine felt good. We spent most our time walking between shelves, I so love shopping! Check out my recent haul below which includes almost everything I have in my shopping list.


Quick review/ first impressions for the products I bought:
  1. Tresemme Smooth and Shine Conditioner -Runny conditioner compared to Creamsilk. Smells nice. I bought this to partner my shampoo.
  2. Tresemme Smooth and Shine Shampoo -A repurchase. I love how it tames my frizzy hair. Smells nice too just like it's conditioner counterpart.
  3. Hortaleza Professional Hair Coloring Cream -This is in 10.0: Bleaching cream! Impulse buy, I'm yet to use this and I really don't know when. -.-'')
  4. Mondes Low-Ammonia Hair Coloring Cream -11/N Super Platinum Natural Blonde. Don't freak out, it usually results to brown. This is another impulse buy, but I have used it already. Ekk~ hair disaster. Please watch out for my full review.
  5. Hortaleza Professional Oxidizing Lotion -Both of the HBC and Hortaleza shops I've been into has no stock of 12% oxidizing lotion. I don't know if it was normal? Or was it intended to make people buy the 9% oxidizing lotions? Just my wild thoughts. Haha :)
  6. Monea C.P.R. Hair Revitalizing Spray -Smells nice but I hate the spray bottle because it leaks when it's not in upright position. I'm yet to test it as well.
  7. Daiso Natural Nose Pack -I love the new packaging they were thoughtful enough to add english instructions. My sister loves this, she was too excited and used the pack twice in a row.
  8. Collagen Soap -It was fascinating to see a bluish black collagen soap because what I use is transparent.
  9. Travel size Powder Jar -I need a small jar for my Palgantong powder since I can't always bring the whole thing wherever I go since it's big.
  10. Human Heart Nature Sunflower Oil -Another repurchase! I love this oil.
  11. Eyeliner Brush -For tight lining and winged liners.
  12. Konjac Cleansing Sponge -A raved sponge by eonnie of Askmewhats if I'm not mistaken. I was looking for a good facial scrub so I decided to get one. This is the smallest size I've seen in Landmark, and the cheapest too.
  13. Hortaleza Professional Henna Wax Hair Treatment -(not in the picture) smells like minty herbal. If there is such word, hahaha :) Tried it because the saleslady said that this is the variant for chemically-treated hair. My hair feels a lot softer after a single wash, I'm impressed.
 A beauty haul means more reviews! Hope to take away my shyness to post an FOTD. I'm trying my best to learn but I'd be honest, I am still not good in using make-up. See you in my next post!
