//Oxy JP Oil Control Gel by Rohto This Oil Control Gel actually comes from the OXY men's line in Japan.
It deserves HG status in my book and I've gone through 12 tubs of this (Yeah, I know)
It absorbs oil and leaves your face matt. There is a slight tightening of the pores/skin as well.
I don't know if it actually makes your pores smaller though, I reckon that is quite impossible.
Overapplication will lead to flaky dry skin so you can't be too liberal with this one. I use this to combat upcoming zits and it has worked so far. You cannot apply this on acne though. I have combination skin so this is mainly for T-zone maintence.
Of late, it has been annoyingly difficult to find this. Even Matsukiyo outlets opposite Ikebukuro Station, on Takeshita Dori and around Shibuya 109 don't carry this anymore. Or maybe they sold out totally or something.
Oxy Oil Control Gel retails at 1000yen (approx) for 28g. Decent amount of product for that price. I use this religiously so one tube lasts me a good 2-3 months. A tiny investment for a quality product :D
5/5 for this one! Will repurchase (in bulk) without hesitation..if I see it again that is.

Moving on!//Etude House 02 White Sheet Mask (Sample)
This is distributed free at Etude House outlets to all walk-in customers. Just walk in and make a u-turn out of the store and you will be one mask richer :P
I have two of these and used both.Typical sheet mask with an aritifical perfume. At 20ml, this means that there is a fair bit of essence here. Impressed?Not so fast.
Torochan said that nothing happened after masking and she is totally right. I didn't feel like it was moisturising or whitening or anything. It kept my face cool for 15mins and that was it. I could have slapped on a cooling pack and it wouldn't be any different. There was a strong whiff of alcohol too.The sheet was made of decent quality cotton that didn't tear. The mask absorbed the essence nicely. It did not drip during masking. After taking the mask off, I left the essence to dry. Bad idea.
The essence made my face so sticky!! I had to get out of bed to wash it off. Yuck. Wasted my time. Although this was free, I don't think I would touch this one again
