Sasatinnie Facial Cleansing Brush review

Hi, guise!

It's been a while since I've posted any reviews, but I hope this one makes up for it!

Remember I ranted on about Sasa.com's poor service? Well, this is the item I purchased. The Sasatinnie Facial Cleansing brush is recommended by Bubzbeauty as her key to blackhead-free skin.

Discription:

SASATINNIE Facial Cleansing Brush is to be used on the entire face. It is applicable even to the peripheral area of the nose. Made of antiseptic resin, the brush is so soft that it will do no harm to the skin. You may use it without any worry.
A sucking disc is included for one to hang the brush on the wall for easy storage and drying.
Do not use on wounds and sensitive areas.

How to use:

Insert fingers into their respective places of the brush and clean the whole face. Or hold the sucking disc and gently clean troubled areas. Please wash with clear water after use and dry it in an area with good ventilation.

The packaging seems airtight and I struggled a bit to open it. All 4 brushes I bought were in good condition and they were packed in a small box with styrofoam! *STYROFOAM!!* tehehee
I also love the fact that it has a place for your fingers and a sucking disk so you can stick it on the wall.

The silicone brush is quite soft and gentle, but it CAN be harsh on your skin. I'll explain why...

My experience:
At first I gently brushed my face with it twice a day. You have to press very lightly and move in small, soft, upward circles. The bumps on my skin smoothed out and my whiteheads started to disappear. All went well until a few weeks later my skin flared up and everything became 10 times worse than what I started out with. I found myself scrubbing my face off with the brush tahahaha xD
Blonde moment ~
Now I gently massage my face with the brush at night or once a week (depends on the free time I have) and my face is slowly, but surely, clearing up again.

Likes:

1. It actually works!
2. It's gentle and effective if used correctly.
3. It feels GREAT using it ^ u ^

Dislikes:

1. It's easy to press too hard and inflame my sensitive skin.
2. I still don't like Sasa hahaha

Product Rating: ★★★☆☆
Repurchase? There's no need to repurchase this product as it will last you forever!

Interview with Beauty Blogger Rindodo ✿

 

Rindodo at sparkleapple.blogspot.com agreed to answer some questions about beauty and starting/maintaining a blog! Here's what she has to say...

1. What inspired you to become a beauty blogger?

Nothing inspired me. ahaha..really, I just wanted to share my experience and opinion about specific beauty product, and that's all. I'm not fully categorized as a beauty blogger too since I seldom post about random things ^-^  I just love to talk, write, I love photography, and I want to share. I feel happy if anyone would find my post helpful for them.

2. What does your blog do for you? Is there something you hope to achieve as a blogger?

My blog feels like a home for me. I jot down my every thought there and I love blogging already~ because I'm currently sick, so I haven't been able to start working (full-time), though, I'm not 100% an unemployed bum. I do own an online shop. So half of it, blogging is a perfect way to kill boredom. fwee~~ Hmmm what I want to achieve, I just want to be a simple and honest blogger, I think that's all ;)

3. When did you start blogging?

Started blogging in 2010, I have TONS of blog before before moving to my current blog (sparkleapple). hope I can keep this one long enough, though, been wanting to change the url and my blog name x___x but idk, not too sure about that. sparkleapple started to sound boring, no? =x

4. What would you recommend doing when starting a blog? And how does one gain traffic? Are there any other tips you could share?

Actually I've never really become a blogger-traffic-maniac, I mean when I first started my blog at sparkleapple. I didn't even expect anyone to read my blog, lmao. But well, I gained many visitors (unique visitors, etc)  after a few good months of blogging. For those who want to gain more traffic, I really recommend reading about SEO. Other tips: quality is much more important than quantity, so a few good quality-thorough/detailed review is better than hundreds of crappy product review. Just make sure you put effort in every post and I'm quite sure people will notice your effort. Some might kind enough to even become a follower.

5. What revolutionary product or skincare trick/tip helped you magically transform your skin?

 My skin has always been in 'this' condition so there's nothing that really transform my skin.  by 'this', I meant: occassional acne, PMS breakouts, oily. I've lucky enough to have a comedo/blackhead free skins. My current biggest issue is the hormonal acne. as for the skincare routine, I've become a real slacker lately. haha... I used to spend more than 20minutes to take care of my skin every morning. but now, since my skin seems to dislike a 'complete' skincare line, I just wash my face (using clean pore brush) and skip the toner/moisturizer. I think the condition of our skin changes every now and then. The trick is to choose just a right product for your current skin condition. I'll soon switch to anti-acne product too, might be one from BRTC. Need to get rid of these annoying blemishes-soon~ *fingercrossed*

6. What are your HG skincare products and why?

All type of ampoule. My current favorite ampoule is the Stemcello Vit C serum. I have my own weird obsession to every ampoule type skincare, hahaha.

HG toner: Hadalabo shirojyun lotion/toner (colorant free, fragrance free, paraben free)

HG moisturizer: Mizon all in one snail cream (colorant free, fragrance free, paraben free)

HG lipcare: Lioele magic lip treatment

7. What are your favourite/HG makeup products and how do they help express your style/feelings?

BB Cream and lip tint! that's a staple in my make-up routine! hahaha...that two and only that. I don't feel like I need any other things though. I opted to look as natural as I could. And if you know me irl, I'm not a make-up type girl as I'm not wearing make-up in my daily basis. I only wear make-up like twice or thrice/week at the most.

8. What should every beauty blogger/beauty junkie know?

SEO perhaps? ahaha that's quite important but people tends to ignore this part. And then, maybe a little bit of basic photography. And of course, SELCAing skills! mwahahaha. Being vain is legit, lol~

9. Lastly, but not least, what does beauty mean for you? What does it include, in your opinion, and how can it be defined?

Beauty is a self happiness. at least that's for me. I wear make-up for myself, for my own complacence and satisfaction.


Thank you so much, Rindodo! You're a great bloggie rolemodel~ 
Hope this helped some of the newbie bloggers and beauty junkies out there! It sure has helped me hehehe *off to learn about SEO now* 

Pinky promise!

I've been a bad person... A bad blogger at least. My reviews are simple and they often lack pictures.

From this moment on I promise to flesh out my reviews as much as possible, covering all imaginable factors - visuals, ingredient explanations, etc... I'll work harder, promise!
Sorry for the bad quality posts. Things will change!

"Vincent" by Vincent Price and Tim Burton

We're supposed to analyze this for English class. I thought it was quite cute and clever, so I shared it with you!

Vincent Malloy is seven years old
He’s always polite and does what he’s told
For a boy his age, he’s considerate and nice
But he wants to be just like Vincent Price

He doesn’t mind living with his sister, dog and cats
Though he’d rather share a home with spiders and bats
There he could reflect on the horrors he’s invented
And wander dark hallways, alone and tormented

Vincent is nice when his aunt comes to see him
But imagines dipping her in wax for his wax museum

He likes to experiment on his dog Abercrombie
In the hopes of creating a horrible zombie
So he and his horrible zombie dog
Could go searching for victims in the London fog

His thoughts, though, aren’t only of ghoulish crimes
He likes to paint and read to pass some of the times
While other kids read books like Go, Jane, Go!
Vincent’s favourite author is Edgar Allen Poe

One night, while reading a gruesome tale
He read a passage that made him turn pale

Such horrible news he could not survive
For his beautiful wife had been buried alive!
He dug out her grave to make sure she was dead
Unaware that her grave was his mother’s flower bed

His mother sent Vincent off to his room
He knew he’d been banished to the tower of doom
Where he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life
Alone with the portrait of his beautiful wife

While alone and insane encased in his tomb
Vincent’s mother burst suddenly into the room
She said: “If you want to, you can go out and play
It’s sunny outside, and a beautiful day”

Vincent tried to talk, but he just couldn’t speak
The years of isolation had made him quite weak
So he took out some paper and scrawled with a pen:
“I am possessed by this house, and can never leave it again”
His mother said: “You’re not possessed, and you’re not almost dead
These games that you play are all in your head
You’re not Vincent Price, you’re Vincent Malloy
You’re not tormented or insane, you’re just a young boy
You’re seven years old and you are my son
I want you to get outside and have some real fun.”

Her anger now spent, she walked out through the hall
And while Vincent backed slowly against the wall
The room started to swell, to shiver and creak
His horrid insanity had reached its peak

He saw Abercrombie, his zombie slave
And heard his wife call from beyond the grave
She spoke from her coffin and made ghoulish demands
While, through cracking walls, reached skeleton hands

Every horror in his life that had crept through his dreams
Swept his mad laughter to terrified screams!
To escape the madness, he reached for the door
But fell limp and lifeless down on the floor

His voice was soft and very slow
As he quoted The Raven from Edgar Allen Poe:

“and my soul from out that shadow
that lies floating on the floor
shall be lifted?
Nevermore…”
