Nexcare Acne Patch REVIEW!!!!



I actually bought 5 different Nexcare acne patches LOL!
The idea behind these acne patches is that it absorbs the oils and pus from the pimple.

Nexcare Acne Absorbing Cover, Two Sizes, 36 Count
Starting with the 3M Nexcare acne patch 36 patches (on the left).

I wished I had taken a pic of the patches itself but it comes in 2 different sizes.
Comes in a total of 36 patches:
       24 patches in 8mm & 12 patches in 12mm sizes.

It's not so thin enough to put under makeup and not be noticeable. Plus it has a smooth surface so makeup won't adhere to it. I use it at night and it stays on my face even when I toss and turn and even when I wash my face. Kinda gross when I remove it to see pus on it. TMI sorry! lol

To use it's best to wash the face first before applying it! I haven't noticed if this works on black and whiteheads but it did a great job on my zits. I was able to shrink my cyst pimple when it started to form (took a few days and a lot of the patches since the cyst has a lot more oils and pus compared to tiny zits) -__-"
 It goes on the skin transparently but by morning when I take it off it has white colored oil/pus on it...(GROSS right?!) lol Same for any acne patch.

For the rest of the four boxes. They all essentially work the same way. The difference is the thickness and the amount of small/large patches. These four boxes come with a pink plastic tweezer to remove the patches from the sheet.

The Orange 3M Nexcare acne care patches comes in 34 small 8mm patches and 12 large 12mm patches. A little thick though but not so bad.

The top right Blue 3M Nexcare acne care patches comes in 30 patches in 0.8cm
great for small zits/pimples. The second most thinnest of all the 5 boxes that I tried.

The bottom left Purple 3M Nexcare acne care patches comes in 50 patches in sizes 0.8cm
This one is great if you have small zits/pimples. Doesn't have the large size.

The bottom right Green 3M Nexcare acne patches comes in 6 patches in 0.8cm & 12 patches in 1.2cm sizes. Personally if you just want to test and try the product this is a good start. I wouldn't buy this box again for the fact there's only 18 patches in total. These are very thin like a sheet of paper though!!!! Which I love but wished it came in more patches. This box is the only one as thin as a sheet of paper.

Can be bought on ebay or amazon. The first box I bought on amazon and the last 4 I bought via ebay.

BAREMINERALS Blemish Therapy & TARTE Smooth Operator™ Amazonian Clay Pressed Finishing Powder REVIEW


Starting with the  
TARTE Smooth Operator™ Amazonian Clay Pressed Finishing Powder REVIEW:

I love that it's just like the Smooth Operator™ Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder. But if I had to choose I would go with the Jar version than the pressed powder form. I find that the
Clay Finishing Powder lasts longer than the pressed powder. The pressed powder has a very pleasant smell that's different than the powder form.
Pros:
- Doesn't leave streaky residue
-Great for touch ups throughout the day

Cons
-Very sheer (although a pro than a con for most people)
-Doesn't last very long, touch up is necessary!! This is why I like the powder form.
-Hard to get enough product onto the brush that comes with it (unless you use a powder brush maybe)

BAREMINERALS Blemish Therapy

Used as a treatment that conceals blemishes and helps heal outbreaks.It has a 3% of sulfur as an ingredient as well as tea tree ingredients (as well as other products).

When I first used it, I could smell a bit of the tea tree, which does not bother me (or my nose). I think it's ok for tiny small zits. I wouldn't say it's conceals very good though. I personally would not buy it again. It takes a few days for it to work and see results though. Good to try it out though. It is a bit drying so don't use a lot of it. A little goes a long way! :)
