Until
yesterday, I had never stepped foot into Semi-chem but the girl at
work was raving about how much cheaper they were for several things
and being as I was passing a store I thought I'd check it out.
I was
pleasantly surprised at not only the prices, but the range of
products – I just assumed it was a store that had a few of the
products you might find in boots, but they actually had products I
had never seen before (which is very exciting to me as a beauty
junkie!).
One of
those products was the Revitale Deeply Absorbent nose strips, and the
cost? £1 for 6! Bargain time, oh yeah. Being a lover of the Biore
Deep Cleansing strips, I knew I liked the concept which is basically
to wet your face, smooth one of these bad boys on your
nose/chin/forehead, wait 10 mins or so for it to dry, and then with a
lot of satisfaction at how clean your skin now is, peel it off
revealing the removal of all things nasty.
The downside of the Biore strips are the price, £7.99 for 6, so I tend to keep them for occasional use. They can be difficult to smooth onto the skin without air bubbles,
and they can be painful to remove, ouch! I know pain and beauty do sometimes collide, but surely not for deep cleansing.
I
quickly got started on testing the Revitale strips out after my purchase, and although
there only seems to be nose strips in the range, I did use one on my
nose, and one on my chin with no problem.
I'm a
convert! They go on the skin very smoothly and easy, they are
slightly less stiff when the 10 minutes is up but this means they are
not painful to remove, and they have the added benefit of charcoal as
a “Magnetic cleansing experience” which as far as I can tell,
Biore do not.
For the
price of 1 strip from Biore you get 6 from Revitale in Semi-Chem.
Deep cleansing at it's budget best. I also bought some Olay facial
wipes, again for £1. Semichem, I shall see you again soon :0)
