"Try it out" Tuesday January, 4, 2011

So, as you may have figured out, I'm going to try and post once a day. Every day of the week has a theme. Yesterday was "Made it" Monday, and today is "Try it out" Tuesday. In the future, I'm hoping people will suggest things for me to try, and I will document it. So, start sending me ideas!

For today, I had to come up with my own thing to test out. So... I got some inspiration (okay, that's a lie, I got the whole idea) from Michelle Phan. I had a hard time believing it would actually work... but if it did, then I could save a bunch of money.

Home-made pore strips

1tbsp milk + 1tbsp unflavored gelatin + 10 seconds in the microwave.

Sounds pretty easy... we'll see.

...

Tried It.

I got a 4 pack of Knox gelatin for $1.99
I went home and did exactly what Michelle Phan did.

The result? Fail. I would like to blame this on the fact that I have no blackheads... but that would be lying. I've used those Biore strips plenty of times, and I know what should have come out of my face, and it didn't. I'm mad, too, because I was going to have this awesome elaborate post with pictures and everything, but there was nothing to show!

So, i think I'm going to wait a few days, and try again, but this time with slightly more milk. I'm also going to wait longer before peeling. If I get better results, I'll let you know.

Conclusion: It's probably better to just buy the stupid Biore strips.

...

So, what should I test out next? Give me something fun to experiment. It could be anything, from a new product, a strange cooking method... or maybe I could wear something that is supposedly "in style" and test peoples reactions. Leave me a suggestion as a comment, or send me a message.
