I know you guys have been waiting for a makeup blog but this whole blogging thing also consist of skincare products too!! And one skin product I am going to talk about, that I just discovered yesterday was Biore pore strips. The Biore pore strips concentrates on your nose if you have huge pores that keep on clogging up, blackheads, or whiteheads (I am prone to these). I heard friends in school telling me about this product so 
yesterday I went to CVS by my school and purchase one. In the box comes 8 pore strips for $8.39 ( so roughly a dollar and change each strip). I was a little skeptical about trying this but it actually WORKS!!!! What you do is after washing your face, you leave you nose area wet and apply the pore strip. You put the sticky side on your nose and the furry side on the other side. You leave it on 10-15 mins and then take it off( I left it on for 15 mins). Prepare when taking off the pore strip for you eyes to get watery like your cutting up onions (it happened to me). The box also says that you 
should use the pore strips once a week. So you have 8 weeks worth of a product in this box. I am going to keep using this product for 8 weeks and see if there is a change on my nose. If it doesn't work, you will be the first to know about it, lol. A trick that I have learned is that if you really want to get all those blackheads, whiteheads, and other stuff off of your nose, you take a really really hot shower before hand. When you come out of the shower, then you apply the pore strips. Why do this? The reason is because when taking a hot shower, your pores are fully open, so its easy when putting the pore strip on that all of that gook and stuff comes out. Hope this blog is informative to people with clogged pores on there nose. Also when you buy the pore strips, there is a $2.00 off any Biore porduct coupon inside the box.

Update (03/29/09)- I bought the Biore Pore Strips that came with the one for the forehead and the nose and it works okay. With me, when I use the one for the forehead it does not really take out blackheads, it takes out hair, lol. Maybe because there is no pores on that part of my forehead, I don't know. But there is a trick that I learned, instead on using the big forehead strip, just cut it in half and use it for another part of your face like maybe your chin.

P.S. - I know this might sound disguesting but I have taken pictures of the pore strip after leaving it on for 15 mins so you can get a general sense of how the product might work for you. The little brown/black spots on the pore strip is the actual blackhead. *Note, what you might see maybe upsetting, just letting you know in advance.
Using biore stripe is fun when you see those heads coming out but it will iritate your pores and caused the pores to be enlarged.
