Alina Skin Care Vitamin C Serum

This Vitamin C Serum is in a glass pump bottle. You can twist the pump so that it is locked/unlocked that way you do not accidentally squirt out any product.


The serum is of a light moisturizer-lotion consistency, not thick at all. There is definitely a citrus scent to the serum, so if you are not a fan of citrus scents this may not be for you.


After applying this serum on my face, my skin soaks it up and leaves a velvety, silky texture on my skin.


There is a tingly sensation on my skin as it is being soaked into my skin. I'm thinking that is because of the Vitamin C, not sure. There aren't any redness on my skin from that tingling sensation nor any rashes so I do not think it's an allergic reaction.


I do not have any prominent wrinkles on my face but I do have lots of mild acne scars and hyper pigmentation. So far after a few days of using this serum, I haven't really noticed any drastic changes. I do have very acne prone skin, fortunately no significant increase in acne either. I would have to continue using this longer to see if it really does provide anymore benefits to my skin.

Petunia Skincare Professional Blackhead and Acne Remover Kit



This kit comes with 5 dual ended extractors in a zipper case for storage. In the case, there are elastic bands sewn in to hold the extractors in place. The case folds in half with a zipper to keep it closed. This makes the kit take up very little storage space.



The seller also kindly e-mailed me an e-book for instructions on how to use the tools effectively. I have used an extractor before so I am familiar with how to use one. After reading the ebook, I learned more about different types of comedones.


While there are 5 different dual ended extractors to choose from, I feel like some of them looked quite similar. My favorite tools out of this kit were the ones with the smaller loops as it targets the blackhead/pimple directly. I found that the ones with more of a wired loop instead of the flattend out loop works better for extractions. You just have to test them out to see which works best for you. Overall, I would say these tools do perform comparably to those sold at around $10 for just one dual ended extractor.

Water Proof Pouch for Cell Phone

The water proof pouch comes with an arm band and a lanyard (I forgot to include it in the pictures because it fell on the floor when I opened the package) so that you can use it hands free. As a reference, in the second photo I have the pouch on top of a Mac Book that is 13"x9".


It was a little confusing and difficult to work the switches on the clip to open up the pouch, even though there were directions and diagrams about that. 


On the side where it is clear for the phone screen, try using your finger nail or just your fingers to flip the inside part of the switches on the clip. The clip should unclip outwards and then you slide it through the two clips to open up the pouch. 


I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 and it fit my phone just fine. There's also plenty of room for you to add some other necessities (i.e. credit card, cash, keys, etc.). I tested out the waterproof part with a sheet of paper first because I wasn't going to chance ruining my phone. Boy am I impressed by this water proof pouch! I thought that it was going to be a dud and that water was going to soak up the paper completely. The paper wasn't even wet one bit. Just based on that alone, I would definitely recommend this to anybody! The plastic screen doesn't decrease the sensitivity of using your phone. You can still use the screen just fine.
