Sophie's Thoughts: Biore Charcoal Bar

Hi Everyone!

I am finally back! Today I have decided to do a review. Now reviews are one of my favorite blog posts to write because they are just really fun and it means that I have tested a product out and these are my actual opinions instead of just my hopes and dreams on the product.

I have always had really nice skin. I am not trying to brag but it's true. I never had really bad acne, I always had pretty clear skin. When I would get a pimple, I would get rid of it pretty quickly. The type of skin I have is dry to combo skin. When I was in middle school and high school, I had oily to combo skin but something must have happened and now my skin is more dry. Which I do not mind but I am just telling you all.

Now that you know the background on my skin, here's the review! Today I will be reviewing the Biore Charcoal Bar.

I have not really heard much about this charcoal bar, which I am pretty surprised. I know a lot of beauty gurus love the Biore strips to remove blackheads on your nose. I have tried the Biore strips and I love them, they really work!

So I was randomly at CVS, picking up some stuff for college and I was looking at the skincare aisle. Now I used to use Clinique products when I was younger but then I just stopped using that line and started to use just random brands from the drugstore. I can do a whole post on my skin care if you want.

Anyways, I saw the Biore Charcoal Bar and I thought it was really interesting. I have always had problems with blackheads on my nose. I would use masks specifically made for removing blackheads and they would work but not really work. So I thought I would try it out.

This is what it looks like:
When I first opened the box, I thought it was like soap and for some strange reason I thought you needed to rub the actual bar on your face.

Let me tell you, do not do that. It is not harsh but you just look silly and it does not work that way.

So what you actually do is wet your hands first. I wet my hands with cold water instead of warm water because cold water wakes me up more.

So after my hands are wet, you literally just put it in your hands and just wait for it to get foamy. It gets foamy pretty quickly.

The moment I massaged this foamy/soap thing into my face, it was extremely cooling. I highly recommend using cold water because it mixes nicely with the charcoal bar. It smelled like mint mixed with peppermint. It is not over powering at all but it smells nice. But once you wash your face, that smell goes away

The first time I used it, my skin looked really clean and really smooth. It felt like I had just put a silicone primer onto my face . It felt like a baby's bottom. Anyways, you do notice a change in your skin the first use.

But I do not recommend using this every day, morning and night. I recommend this only to use maybe three to four times a week.

After about a week of using this, I noticed a big difference. My skin was so nice and glowy. And my skin had not looked this good in a very long time.

My blackheads were a lot smaller and a lot less than they have ever been before.  

But the biggest impression was when I first put on make up after washing my face a couple of times with the bar.

My skin felt like a clean slate. My make up glided so smooth that I could not even believe it. I did not put on a primer, I just put on my foundation. I was so shocked because my make up had never glided on so smoothly, even with different primers, as it had after I using this charcoal bar.

After I did my make up, my skin looked amazing. My whole make up looked flawless and I wore it out all day and night and it did not crease or look bad and I did not even set it with a makeup setting spray. I honestly believe that it was because of this charcoal bar.

I am so amazed with this bar. It is not expensive at all but it literally is a miracle product. I am so in love with this product. Everyone needs to purchase it, especially if you love doing make up or playing with make up, this is the perfect skin care item to make your skin look even better.

If you have oily skin, I feel like this will work really well because it can help your skin not be as oily. I am not a 100 % sure, but I have a good feeling it can work well for all skin types as well.

That is my thoughts on the Biore Charcoal Bar! I hope you all enjoyed this review. If you have any questions, please let me know because I will be more than happy to answer them. If you have tried this product, let me know your thoughts on it, if you loved it or hated it.

If there are any other skin care items you would like me to review, please let me know. Or any products at all, I am willing to try anything. Tweet me @sophiareyes6

I hope you all have a wonderful day/night wherever you are. I hope you all liked that I changed the boring title of just review into something more fun, like sophie's thoughts. If you think I should change it, please let me know.

Carpe Diem,
Sophia

Invisible Illness Series: Support

Hello everyone! Today's blog post is going to be a little emotional but I feel like it will probably help so many of you all. One thing I have noticed with having Endometriosis is how many people just do not get it. They do not understand why I am constantly in pain. They think that the pain that I am experiencing on a daily basis is something that everyone experiences. It is not. People who suffer from chronic pain can go hours at a time in excruciating pain that honestly is indescribable. And even then if people physically see you in pain, they do not care.They just think you are either faking it or being over dramatic. Well to those people I have this to say, you should be ashamed of yourself. Why would anyone fake being in agony for hours at a time. Why would anyone feel the need to be stuck in bed for a long time just because they just "don't feel like getting up". I have a feeling that many of you have experienced people like that in your life. Well let m

Review: Victoria Secret Seamless Racerback Bra

Hey everyone! So I never see anyone reviewing sports bras! So today I decided to review one! Now I HATE sport bras. Every sports bra that I have ever tried either suffocates my boobs (TMI...sorry!) or they are way to lose to support my boobs when I am working out. Now I am addicted to Victoria Secret Pink. I absolutely love every thing they have. I own way to much stuff from them so when I saw this new sports bra, I had to try it. It is the  Victoria Secret Pink Seamless Racerback Bra ! First Impression: I got it in the tie dye color in blue. When I first got it in the mail, the first thing I thought was how soft it was. Then I saw that it was a very thin material. I thought it was going to be a little thicker like most sports bras. I was kinda afraid that it will show my nips. (TMI!) I got it in a medium. First Time Wearing It: The first time I wore it was not to work out but to school. I got so many compliments from my friends. They all thought it was different because of

Book Review: Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs

Another book review!? Yes! Today I have another book review for you all and it is going to be a good one! So this novel was one of the galleys that my mom got for me at BEA. (Book Expo America) Just a warning is that this novel does not come out until September 23. But you can always pre-order it if you are interested. The novel is called  Bones Never Lie by Kathy Reichs .  Now I will give you a little background about why I read this book. When I was in 6th grade, my Biology teacher put on the show Bones for us to watch. And from that day to 10th grade, I wanted to be a forensic anthropologist. Now to this day I love forensics, I think it is super fascinating but I am just not good at biology. Anyways, the show Bones was based off of Kathy Reichs and her life as a forensic anthropologist. Now a forensic anthropologist is someone who studies human bones and  figures out what happened to that person. How they died, if they were murdered, did they have any health problems, stuff
