Foreo Review

Hey guys, so i’m doing my first ever skincare product review.

As we all know, fashion and skincare does go hand-in-hand so I figure I should be including this on my blog. No amount of clothes can make a person complete if they have bad skin or just crazy acne on their face. It’s the total package.

So please be patient as I slowly work my way with trying to create a comprehensive review of skincare products for you guys. I’m no guru but I hope my words will help you out in choosing the right products.

First impressions:

First thing I felt when I held the product on my hands was the super soft silicone bristles/brush this product has. It’s not like your regular brush that is abrasive or hard, its really really soft. The built of it is very solid and doesn’t feel like it will break with one drop. It has a very nice and compact design and very minimalistic. The box comes with a cable that plugs in to a usb port (very convenient since even your computer or laptop can charge it.

Using the product:

Using the product is very simple, there’s only one button to press and that’s it. First button press is to turn it on. It has a built in timer and it will stop vibrating every 15 seconds to notify you that you should switch the area that you are scrubbing. you basically scrub your face for 1 minute. The second press is for the low vibration mode for the more sensitive area of your face such as under your eyes and around your nose. The third press is to turn off the product. Operating and using this product can’t get any simpler!

Pros:

  • Waterproof
  • Compact (can easily fit on your travel kit)
  • Very easy to use (one button operation)
  • Gentle on the skin (silicon construction)
  • Sturdy built
  • You only buy once (no need to buy replaceable brush heads unlike other brands)
  • Easy to clean (just put under running water and clean with soap)

Cons:

  • The 15 second timer could be executed better, sometimes while i’m scrubbing my face I don’t notice that it had stopped and I would still continue on one area of my face, if the pause was a bit longer I would have noticed it more
  • There’s also a notification light and it’s at the bottom to notify you that it’s been 15 seconds, but when I use the scrub my eyes are usually closed since i’m at the shower (waste of space for the product)
  • The plug for the charger could’ve been universal like a micro usb connection so I could use other cables to charge it instead of a proprietary plug. (But I guess micro usb plug isn’t waterproof that’s why they had to do a different plug, but i’m just nitpicking here)

Personal Notes:

I really like this product, being as a guy, it’s a extra gadget for me to use and guys love gadgets (haha). It’s a good investment as in, I just have to buy it once and I don’t need to buy any other accessories for it to continuously use it, I just buy it once and I can use it until the battery stops recharging, but at the rate of 300 uses per charge, i’m guessing this will last me for many many many years. It’s very compact and durable and I can just chuck it at any pocket in my bag when I travel and not worry about it at all. Father’s day is coming up very soon and I truly thing this would make a great Father’s day gift for those people who don’t know what to get for their father!

Hope you guys like this review, please leave me any comments and/or suggestions about this post!

Holiday Essential gifts for your man for under $50

We know its that time of the year again and finding the right gifts for your special guy can get a bit tricky. He probably has everything that he wants and needs and you wouldn’t know what to get him. Well here’s a short list that I have made that would probably give you some options that he probably doesn’t have yet and would love to have.

1. Kent Street Apparel’s MERDE IL PLEUT (Shit it’s Raining) UNISEX UMBRELLA $44

I just featured this on my blog and I can’t help but rave about it. Especially if you’re living in Vancouver you know we are always blessed with this “awesome” rain on a regular basis. This works if you know he has that dry sense of humour also since it actually says “shit it’s raining” in french on the umbrella itself. It comes in other colours as well.

2. Zara Black Mini Messenger Bag $39

This one is for the guys who carry a lot of things with them on a regular basis or just have super thick wallets and you know it’s not good for their posture if they always put it on their back pocket and sit. This avoids that potential back problem and would help them in the long run. I personally own a few mini messenger bags and I find them very useful especially when I travel and I would put my wallet and passport and other important documents in them and small camera inside.

3. Express Dress Socks $11 for 1 or $25 for 4

This one is another no brainer. All grown men or even teens should own dress socks and not plain white socks. Its basically a “right of passage” if you ask me. A man can’t be taken seriously if he’s wearing a suit while wearing white socks. He’s better off not wearing any.

4. Victorinox HOK Exclusive Blackcomb Climber II Sapphire $49

Swiss Army Knife

Here’s another essential. I think every man should own a Swiss Army Knife. Having the basic tools is just key to “being a man”. It would also be a nice touch if you could get their name engraved on the plastic part if you ask me.

Now we’re coming to the tech side of things. If your man is into tech, i’m sure he either owns one like this or if he doesn’t, he would like to own one and love you for giving it to him.

6. Google Chromecast $39

Chromecast

I own this little guy and I LOVE IT TO BITS! This gadget basically attaches to the back of your TV and makes it a smart tv. You are able to connect your phone, tablet and even your computer wirelessly to this device and mirror it onto your tv. If this might seem too complicated for your i’ve provided a video made my google to give you a better idea.

6. Motorola P4000 Portable Power Pack $30

Motorola

Now this is just another essential. I’m sure all of us could relate to our smart phones running out of battery on the most important time. Well look no further, this guy is your life saver. This power pack actually comes with its own cable so it can charge basically any smart phone except for iPhones, but you will just have to use your own usb chord because it does chard any product with a usb plug built-in. It can fully charge any smart phone out then from 0-100% and still have some left to charge other devices.

So these are my list, I truly hope you find them helpful and share it with your friends. If you like this article please leave a comment or any suggestions. Happy Holidays!
