Review: Minus 417 Aromatic Body Peeling Scrub

So a few months ago I was patronising JEM with my guy and we walked past the -417 cosmestic booth.

The korean sales girl approached us and yeah we got pretty much pressured into buying this by their good sales pitch?? spent like $280 on 4 products which is PRETTY EXPENSIVE by my standards.

Hell, who would pay that sort of price for a body scrub, body butter and 2 facial exfoliating scrubs tbh.

I was taken by the properties of this body scrub uh firstly,

• It's mineral oil free. No idea what it does but hado labo products also have this property
• Apparently it can last me a year if I use one tablespoon weekly 
• Dead sea salt?? Apparently the salt is good for your skin. 

So here's the actual product. There's plenty of product inside this humble packaging.
It's possible for it to last a year lol

The recommended amount for a whole body scrub.

Also, it was told to me that I could use this for a home spa treatment to exfoliate my dead skin cells to make it smooth and silkier 

Testing it on my hand because hell would I show me using it on my whole body for a review

Here's my hand after I scrubbed my hand using the product. 

My verdict: It left my hand feeling like a fish (think: the slippery texture) and it definitely did its job. Although, I think that the silkiness is by some kind of oil in the product itself.

However, I would never buy this again. It's a rip-off of my money T__T I can get it off the shelves at other beauty stores for a much cheaper price. 

The product costs $100++ but I bought it on a promotion for $140 with the body butter (it's shitty but it smells good, and it is absorbed better if you exfoliate your skin before application). It is still not worth it but it's entirely up to your preference if you feel like trying this out ~v~ 

I also bought the Micro-Luffa Scrub which I would do a proper review of if I'm feeling less lazy. The shop assistant recommended me that as I told her I'm a lazy person and the product is does many things in one go. 

(a.k.a. removing the oil in my face, opening up my pores and exfoliating them, and then closing my pores to prevent oil secretion for the rest of the day) 

It costs $70 each after she gave us discounts (special rate for us as students lulz) but I really feel that it's a normal product you can get off the shelf easily. If you need a facial scrub I recommend garniers (sold at watsons or 7 eleven) for like $2 each for 50ml which is super cheap and lasts quite a while. 

Basically any products which are cheap and good are the best and you should only splurge on supposedly more high-end and effective products if you can afford it. 

Peace out,
