BIORE, Pore Perfect? You be the judge!!


OBSERVATION

And I quote:
"Biore ultra deep cleansing pore strips will diminish the appearance of pores."

I observed this on the back of the box, and I also observe that it may be a load!


HYPOTHESIS

Pore Strips are total crap.


PREDICTION

Pore Strips will NOT make my pores "diminish."

TEST

Yippy!!! Here is the fun part!

( PS- Some of these pictures are nasty and I may be exposing myself a little to much but it is all in the name of science. :)

Here is my freshly washed nose before Biore:

Now I give you, {{trumpets}} dun-da-da-duuuhnnn...

THE PORE STRIPS!

IMG_3726

Step 1- Wash and dry face. Then thoroughly wet nose and apply strip.

(My eyes are red because it is 2am and I am severely tired.)

Step 2- Let sit for 10-15 minutes. Until hard.

On your Mark! Get Set! GO!!!

Annndddd....TIME!!

(Yes, it is really 2 am. And I am a loser.)

Step 3- Slowly and carefully peel off starting at edges and pulling towards the middle.

OUCH!!!!

My eyes are watering!

(Now, here is the nastiest picture that will ever be taken of my nose!!)

The results:

Wow. My poors are practically invisible. I can't believe my eyes. What a miracle...

Baaahh!!! The're like potholes, now! Like little wells for makeup!!?

I am not happy, until I see it!!!!!

The dirty Pore Strip!!

Here is the strip before.....

And here is the strip NOW!!! :)

Why, oh why is it so satisfying to see all that stuff!? Because it was once in my skin!!

CONCLUSION

Biore Strips do not make your pores disappear.

However, they are NOT total crap! The satisfaction I got when seeing my departed blackheads was indescribable.

I will continue to spend money on them, and look forward to the next time I set out on my Biore Journey to cleansed pores.

wow you are one brave woman to post that "after" photo of the biore strips! the only time i ever used them was at a party...(in my mid 20's, pre-children days) my friend and i were drunk and stumbled into the bathroom at this party and rummaged through the medicine cabinet until we found those biore strips. laughing hysterically we put them on...of course i can't remember how it all ended. all i remember is the laughing and the being drunk. ah, those were the days...

I think that was not stuff in your pores deposited onto this "magic the gathering strip", I think it was the pores themselves... Just a thought.

naughtygirl said...

Anita said...

*dies of laughter* That is so funny. You are very brave to post that in the name of such important research!

Humor Girl said...

You all are very welcome! The gunk is nasty...but the pictures of me are the worst! lol...they are SO UNFLATTERING. THAT was the real risk. :)

Memphis steve- Let me know.

OK, so I had to speed through the after shots of the strips. I am still feeling willies over it. [shivering] ::))

OK, I just went back and read Memphis Steve's comment. The shivering WON'T STOP!!

::)) [still shivering though]

Leesa said...

That is too funny, I've had the same results. I want to see what happens with Memphis Steve!! Or do I??

Anonymous said...

I move that Memphis Steve gives it a shot and posts his results! Anybody willing to second?

I've tried those strips before, and they did nothing for me. Does that mean I don't have blackheads?

Anonymous said...

Hmm...34 years old...never used one...wondering how disgusting they would be...yeah...I think I'll pass.

andré said...

Brian said...

Anonymous said...

Ha! I got a kick out of that - and yes, the used strip was nasty but atlest it's off your nose! ;)

Memphis Steve is just plain gross ROFL!

Anonymous said...

It is an incredibly satisfying experience for some reason.

They sort of work but only if you put some kind of skin tightener on right after use.

Kristen said...

that is disgusting. But I must say there is quite the sense of accomplishment after an effective biore cleansing.

Humor Girl said...

Yes...it IS disgusting...but it rules so much!! It's like getting a splinter out! It's great! :)

You all should try it!

Out Of Jersey said...

Johnny Menace said...

I think that was your actual skin ripped off on the strip.

Unknown said...

Seeing is believing!

Humor Girl said...

natalia- thanks...I wasn't going to, but it was all in the name of science! :)

Johnny menace- No, SIR! You are absolutely wrong!! IT was my blackheads!!!! It was dirt and oil and my face felt refreshed!? Right, Teresa!! hehehe

Tish- OOoooh! A twofer!! Microderm abrasion AND sander all in one! I think you're on to something!

Kim said...

I can't stop laughing! haha That's so gross. I tried those before, but it just took off my skin. lol You had great results though... Congrats. ;)

Memphis said...

I'm shocked that so many people want to see me put this on my butt. I mean, I was gonna do it anyway, but still. It's not like people haven't seen my butt already anyway.

Humor Girl said...

Kim- I couldn't stop laughing either...but at the pics of my nose! EWW!
