New glasses: Derek Cardigan 7008 Blackout

I decided to take advantage of the free glasses deal from Coastal.com. I mean, it wouldn't hurt to have a backup pair laying around right? I decided I wanted big(ger) lenses compared to my D&G 5010 eyeglasses and chose these babies.

Size comparison to Carmex Lip Balm. Notice the division and multiply signs? :D 


 An "=" on the sides 8D


 Flexible spring hinges to fit those that have big heads like mine :P


And it all came with a case, glass wipers, anti-reflective lens cleaner, and tools in case the screws become loose.
It was my first time ordering from Coastal and I had to admit I was a bit sketchy on why they were offering free glasses (even though I had to pay for $15.43 for shipping and handling/insurance) . I came to the conclusion that with this type from promo and the awesome service I received, they won me as a customer with the way they do things. My reasons?

1. They have the "Try on View" option that lets you upload a picture of yourself with the glasses on which I find very useful. Go onto the site and play with it now. I dare you!
2. My order was shipped the next day at standard shipping (5-7 days), but right before they shipped it, they decided to upgrade my shipping to 2-3 days! WHATT?? How generous :) So I was able to receive my order just two days! Amazeballs.
3. They have awesome goodies that comes with the package (i.e. the lens cleaner and tool).
4. Their website is very well organized which makes finding the perfect glasses easy peasy.

The Best Blackhead Remover Ever!: TheFaceShop Black Head EX Nose Clay Mask

WARNING! This is NOT pretty!



NASTAYYY, but it works!

I've used this product for a little over a year now and a few things I've noticed is that, from my own experience, it works best on the cheeks right after a steamy hot shower. I have a hard time removing blackheads from my nose (maybe it's just stubborn). Another helpful tip is that if you put too thin of a layer, it won't peel nicely, and if applied to thickly, then girllll, you're just wasting product.

I bought this from Sasa.com but it's currently sold out :( I've tried to find it at The Face Shop store in Koreatown, CA, but it's never there and I don't feel comfortable buying skincare products via eBay!
