Some weeks ago, I was invited to attend the iWhite bloggers event. While I normally get posts of events and those sorts of things in a day or so, I forgot to bring my camera with me on that particular day so I do not have pictures to share. Yes, something like that can probably only happen to me.

Moving on....

 I will be reviewing the Nose Pack which I have already tried and used before I was invited to the event. I first came across this product in 7-11 and thought I should just give it a go. I bought it in a sachet because I was bored and it was cheap. My little sister also uses this product religiously because according to her it works wonders for her nose.

As you can see, it comes in a black tube with their logo on it. 

Opened.

The consistency is putty like. If you don't know what putty is, I will tell you that it is somewhat kind of similar to Elmer's Glue. You need to apply this quickly as it will dry after a few minutes and will be harder to spread.

Before applying, remember to clean and cleanse your face.
TIP: You may want to steam your face to open the pores or just wash it with warm water to open up your pores for maximum effect. My guinea pig however refused to do either.

You may apply the product with your fingers or use a brush like this one. This is a masque brush -I use it to apply masques, packs and whatnots to my face.

Today's model is my little brother, Bubi:

Apply an ample amount and evenly coat the nose like this. If you noticed, I specifically applied a little bit more on his right cheek. This is so that I can pull off the mask a bit easier when it dries. :)

Leave it on for 15 minutes or until it dries. It may take longer than 15 minutes; it depends on the amount of product you applied. If you applied a thick layer, it will dry after more than 15 minutes. A thinner layer may take 15 minutes or less.

Peel gently as you do not want to pull or irritate your skin.
According to the tube you should peel it from the base upwards to get maximum results. My brother requested that I do it this way.

Peeled off masque/pack. Please do not look at it if you're easily grossed out.

You be the judge if it works. 

PROS:
- Affordable.
- Locally available.
- Did not break out my nose nor my brother's nose.
- Does seem to get stubborn blackhead off. (Let's be realistic here. Your nose won't be squeaky clean like newly floor waxed floor or anything like that on the first use, but continuous use will get rid of the blackheads and may result to a more blackhead free nose.)

CONS:
- Sticky. Well, it could just be me but I'm not that crazy with sticky products.
- I'm not sure if this is available in other countries.
- Another added step to your skincare which lazy people might find a bit bothersome.

NEUTRAL:
- This product has a scent. I do like it but I'm not sure if everyone will. 
- May pull off facial hair which may hurt a bit.

OVERALL:

Unfortunately, my brother Bubbi is not too keen on getting his face published on my blog so you cannot see how clear his skin is. He actually has the clearest and most radiant face among us. I would like to point this out so you can consider if the pack does work.

Overall, I think that it does a pretty good job for the price because I usually expect less from products that are affordable. For this particular product, it exceeds my expectations and performs quite well. 
Among all the products that I received, this one is my favorite. Reason being why this review is up now. :)

A special thanks to iWhite for being such a generous and awesome host.
