mini review

Naruko Tree Tea Oil Out Balancing Serum claims that "it is an invisible oil absorbing sheet designed to stop the production of excess oil while keeping the skin moisturized. the balancing serum forms an invisible barrier to keep oil away. the serum helps skin function normally by immediately increasing the skin's metabolism, absorbing excess oil and moisturizing the skin. it is a refreshing serum that helps to keep away acne and blackheads." more info about the product can be found here.

When I purchased this product I intended to use it as an acne and blackhead prevention item. I find that this product is very effective in balancing out the skin but not so much on "keeping away acne and blackheads".

This product has lasted me for about 3 months and it really keep my skin well balanced. Prior to using this product, my t-zone area will get slightly oily due to the humid weather but once I started using it I noticed that my skin stay matte throughout the hot humid days. Its converted my skin from combo back to normal again. The product is fast absorbing and keep the skin hydrated. The texture of this is between a gel and lotion, it feels very nice and not sticky at all.

I would not repurchase it again due to the fact that I want an acne prevention product and this does not do it for me. Its great to use during the summer months to balance out the skin or if you have oily skin, I feel like its more of a product to control the oil in your skin whether than preventing breakouts.

Hurricane Sandy!

I woke up to absolutely no sunshine today. High winds banging on my windows and many things were blown all over the place outside. To me its both exciting and dangerous. Like many other people, I worry about the damages hurricane Sandy will cost to us on the east coast but I'm also super excited. Maybe cause we almost never experienced much of these "nature" events.

Updates

It has been a long time since my last post. Initially this isn't the post I had in mind but it will do for now. This week had been hectic, definitely a very "fill" week.

Even though I've lived in Boston my whole life, I have never done the freedom trail walk and I finally did it this past Wednesday with a good friend of mine. We didn't get to complete the whole trail but will definitely do so another thing. It was a very inspiration experience and it had lead me to places in Boston that I never knew existed.

Yesterday I got my left side wisdom teeth extracted. Its not as swollen or painful as I thought it would be. The pain subsidized after a few hours but the medication make me feeling so sick and uncomfortable that I have just not taken anymore. Hopefully I will heal soon and get to enjoy tasty food again.

Today an very important interview might direct my life into the next stage. Hopefully I will get the desired result!
