Which area of your face would you consider to be the worst place for pimples? I’m prone to breakouts on my chin and jawline. However, I can take those any day to avoid the dreaded nose pimples.

In my opinion, pimples on your nose are always the worst! It gives me instant flashbacks to when I had a big pimple on the center of my nose during Christmas (and yes, I did feel like I was a cute Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer). These types of pimples can expand and be painful to touch. Don’t forget to mention they can be a huge effort to heal during the blemish stage. Ugh, they are truly something else.

Your Nose Also Needs a Pinch of Pimple Patch Love, Too

Did you know that there are pimple patches for your nose? Honestly, neither did I until I discovered the spotless nose patches from Glam Up.

Spotless Nose Patch sells at $16.90 USD on their Amazon storefront for 12 patches. Like other hydrocolloid pimple patches that you’ve seen and used for your skin care issues, these nose patches absorb sebum and oil and pull out whiteheads. Using these nose patches is supposed to help lessen the frequency of annoying breakouts on your nose.

I received this product from @go.picky @pickyrewards and @glamup.official in exchange for my honest review. These nose patches were used every few days over the course of two to three weeks in order to come up with the following opinions.

Glam Up’s Spotless Nose Patches are made of high-grade hydrocolloid patches that are vegan and cruelty-free. They are also formulated with the following key ingredients:

• Centella Asiatica: This ingredient is used in the skincare industry to deal with inflammation and redness. It can also slow down the aging process of your skin.
• Heart Leaf Extract: Hearleaf is perfect for sensitive skin types because it can provide moisture to the skin, reduce inflammation, and minimize the appearance of blemishes.
• Niacinamide: A beloved ingredient for skincare of all skin types, niacinamide can slow down the aging process by retaining your skin’s moisture and reducing hyperpigmentation. It can also be used to reduce pore size and sebum production to minimize breakouts.

Nice On My Nose and My Skin

Perfect Sizing

The 90mm size for the pimple patch was perfect and was great coverage for my nose, crevices and all. I think all nose types can use these nose patches since they appeared a little large to accommodate nose bridge shapes. This nose patch also covers the tip of my nose where whiteheads can be hidden, so I was pleasantly surprised to discover this while applying it.

Hygiene-First Focus

The patches are neatly packaged in separate baggies so that you can take them out for single use. Each patch is in a see-through plastic and paper pouch and attached to a slip of plastic for an easy-peel application. Sometimes I do have an issue with peeling the pimple patch from the plastic because the clinging can warp the shape. There is no issue with warping when using this.

These nose patches are bigger than the smaller, targeted circle patches. Because the plastic film attached to the nose patch is split in half, this means that you can easily apply the patches to your nose. You can peel one side to put on your nose and then peel the other half to complete the process. It may be difficult to peel the plastic off the smaller cuts that accommodate your nose tip, but you’ll get the hang of it over time.

When using pimple patches, you usually want them to be thin. These nose patches are thick, which is totally fine since they are for nighttime use. The thickness of the patches ensures that the product clings well to your skin and lasts through the night. It also doesn’t rip apart during removal, which is important if you want to eliminate the possibility of breakouts from clogged pores.

Comfortable Throughout the Night

These pimple patches are unscented, so you don’t have to worry about the possibility of a headache. The patches were super comfortable to wear overnight and didn’t affect my breathing or my comfort. If your nose does wind up feeling itchy, you will have to bear with it and try your best to scratch your nose or pat the itchiness away.

Pushes Pimples Out

I woke up to not seeing the absorbency like what happens with pimple patches, but I saw the effects once I took it off! The gross accumulation of oil is really visible once you remove the patch from your nose. The patch absorbed so much oil and actually brought my whiteheads to the surface, making them easy to extract.

Some of the oils were absorbed into the patch and some of the oils were at the skin’s surface. I had to use my pimple extractor to get these buildups out of my nose. That was when my nose was finally super clear and super smooth. My pores definitely looked smaller afterward.

Strong Enough for Whiteheads

If you have huge pores and are prone to blackheads and whiteheads, then you can definitely them pulled out by these strips without it drying your skin out and hurting. Removing these nose patches were not painful at all. If you remember those god-awful charcoal strips that left your nose feeling dry as a dessert, then you will understand what I am comparing these patches to. As long as you just fold the nose patch downwards, you will not feel any pain and you will not be tugging at your skin.

Would I repurchase?

The price is definitely worth it for these nose strips, which can be used once every two weeks, in my opinion. I love pimple patches and these definitely lived up to the hype. If you want to reduce blemishes or early-stage pimples without irritation, these nose patches are a nice addition to your skincare routine. I wish I had these when I was younger.

The post My Nose is Spotless Now Because of the Glam Up Spotless Nose Patch appeared first on Style Oh My.

Have you ever heard of a vegan meta brand? What about “fairy core?”Both of these terms were completely new to me and I didn’t know what to expect. Both of these terms have to do with kbeauty, specifically a rising Korean makeup brand called Naetis.

Recently @naetis.official reached out to me to try out their new blur lip tints. I used these lip tints over the course of two to three weeks before coming up with my opinions. This was my first makeup collab, so obviously I was super excited to give them an honest review.

This also was a collaboration I couldn’t pass up since I always love supporting small businesses. Therefore, I am writing this blog post to provide feedback for the brand and for other people who want to check customer reviews before trying new brands. So, enjoy!

So, what is “vegan meta?”

What is a vegan meta brand? According to my research, these are brands that are focused on making vegan-formulated products and pay close attention to their ingredient sources to stay true to that mission.

Living in a Fairy Blur Makeup Dreams

Naetis Fairy Core Blur Lip Tints currently sell at $8.99 USD each on Amazon USA. You can check their storefront for yourself by clicking right here or by searching “Naetis” on Amazon. These lip tints are advertised to be MLBB (otherwise known as “my lips but better”). They enhance your natural beauty by creating makeup that can be used anytime, anywhere because these lip tints are supposed to stain your lips for an all-day tint. You wouldn’t have to worry about reapplying your lipstick because Naetis wants to help you keep your peak makeup game and always feel like you’re living in a fantasy.

On top of that, these lip tints have an airy texture that leaves a buttery velvet finish and keeps your lips soft and moisturized. Oh yeah, and these lippie formulas are vegan, of course!

Here are some notable ingredients in the formulation that make these lip tints a great addition to your lipstick collection:

• Titanium Dioxide: Titanium dioxide is used as a thickener for cosmetics and can enhance the anti-aging properties of other ingredients. It is a popular ingredient for providing SPF, too.
• Tocopheryl Acetate: Tocopheryl acetate is an anti-aging ingredient that promotes skin cell regeneration and protects your skin from the harmful effects of UV rays.
• Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride: This ingredient is an emollient that seals in moisture to ensure your skin doesn’t dry out and lose its elasticity.
• Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil: This ingredient contains vitamins A, C, and E which makes it perfect for anti-aging if you want to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and blemishes.
• Prunus Persica (Peach) Fruit Extract: Peach extract can provide moisture to your skin and brighten your skin tone to minimize hyperpigmentation.
• Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract: This species of apple extract contains antioxidants that keep your skin elastic and firm while protecting it from free radicals, which can cause signs of aging and hyperpigmentation.
• Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract: Watermelon extract is also rich in antioxidants, so it can defend your skin against UV ray damage and signs of aging.
• Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Fruit Extract: Pomegranates are known to be rich in antioxidants, anti-bacterial, and healing. This extract helps prevent breakouts and protects your skin cells.

Literally My Lips But Better

Naetis allowed me to pick two of the blur lip tints to test out. I decided to choose shades 301 #PeachOrdinary and 501 #SeoulElf. Peach Ordinary looked like a perfect everyday lip shade for me since I don’t wear dark shades regularly. I wanted to try Seoul Elf because Naetis told me that it was their most popular shade. If you want me to make another video with swatches on my lips, I’ll be more than happy to do it!

Whipped Texture

The tints are a beautiful whipped texture. I noticed that these lip tints were airy when I first swatched them on my hand because they didn’t feel sticky or heavy.

Applying this to my lips was very nice. The formula feels buttery once spread onto my lips and glided very well. In terms of the finish of these lip tints, I would say that my lips felt velvety but not chapped. When using matte lip sticks in the past, I would get the matte appearance but my lips would feel and look so dry like the Sahara dessert. These blur tints do not provide that unpleasant feeling. The ingredient list also shows that this would be a good tinted lip balm if your lips feel dry.

Lovely Fruity Scent

There is a pleasant, light fruity scent that is in the formulation. I would not have pinpointed any of the fruit extracts as the scent in this formula. The scent of both of these lip tints reminds me more of cherry with a subtle note of coconut. The cherry scent smells more like the artificial kind that you would find for candy and drinks, which I had no issue with.

An All-Day Type of Lip Product

These remind me of my favorite discontinued blur tints from Colourpop (iykyk 😩). With the added lip stain and buildable coverage, these are definitely a must-have for any occasion (especially if you are eating and drinking because the color will stay on). If you do not drink or eat as frequently, I’m sure these lip tints will maintain their pigment by the end of the day.

If you blot the lip tints on tissue, there will be some residue that goes on the tissue, but the bright pigment will still be on your lips. Naetis’s lip tints are blot proof and keep your lips feeling velvety.

Buildable and Multi-Purpose

These lip tints are buildable so you can use one layer for a natural, no-makeup look or add another layer for a vivid statement lippie. As someone who doesn’t identify herself as a makeup expert, these lip tints were easy to use and build upon. I found it easy to do the gradient lips where the center of my lips were pigmented. That lip look is a challenge sometimes and I find it doesn’t always look good on me. However, these lip tints made me realize I was just doing them wrong.

The airy texture and pigmentation power of these made me want to try the lip tints out as a blush. I would say they were also as easy to spread out and build up pigment. I didn’t notice any breakouts on my skin, but maybe a slight pink pigment since pink can color your skin. Again, these lip tints are easy to remove with makeup remover so you can do some double cleansing when using these on your skin.

Would I repurchase?

Yes! I always love supporting small businesses with high-quality products, so definitely is worth a purchase. It combines the buttery velvet formula of a liquid lipstick with the power of a lip stain, so if you want an alternative to the trending lip oils and lip stains, I highly consider trying Naetis!

Would you try this? Let me know down below. Thanks again Naetis for a great first impression.
