SIZE MATTERS PART II

I was about to go to sleep early tonight but I decided to check my gmail, facebook, twitter and Girltalk. hoho. I checked them regularly, atleast 4-8x a day. LOL!

I was checking for updates then I came across to Venus and Mars' thread. The topic was about the size of emu oil of Venus and Mars. To know more, here's the LINK of the thread. 

I was curious since I'm using Emu Oil of Venus and Mars too. And so, I decided to do a simple test. 

*This test is based only on my OWN concept/knowledge. NOT 100% accurate. This is just to show you my hypothesis to the 30ml bottle mystery (hahaha!)*

The objectives of this test are 

1. to test if 20ml of bottle 1 is equal to 20ml of bottle 2

2. to test if 30ml bottle of Venus and Mars Emu Oil contains 30ml of the product itself

I looked for 20ml and 30ml bottles at home. 

So, here's the test:

This is an empty bottles of 20ml bottle of VnM Cpc+g and 20ml bottle of Ellana Make It Last Primer

You'll notice that Ellana's bottle is bigger (in height) than VnM

By merely looking, you will notice that the diameter are almost the same but not exactly.(VnM>Ellana)

I filled VnM's bottle with water up to the exact amount when I got my cpc+g. So, yes, that's the 20ml for CPC+G. 

I poured the water from VnM cpc+g bottle to Ellana's bottle.

Tada! You'll notice that if you buy Ellana Make It Last Primer you don't get that exact amount of 20 ml simply because it's hard to be 100% accurate. In my own opinion, the reason is because of the thick consistency of Ellana. Try to use a thicker sample for this experiment then try to transfer from one bottle to another. You'll notice the there are some products left on the other bottle. So, yes, it's really hard to transfer samples with thick consistency as Ellana Make It Last Primer

Let's try other bottles please

I can't find any 30ml bottle aside from my  VnM Emu Oil. So, I decided to use Johnson's Baby Oil 25ml bottle. 

Again, I filled the Johnson's Baby Oil's bottle with water and poured it on the other bottle.

Since, I'm using my cellphone's camera, you will not be able see the amount of water in VnM's bottle so I edited it (sorry, i'm lazy! ;p) The blue is the volume of bottle filled with water. Again, that's only 25ml of Water. So, yes, emu oil is not exactly 30ml but approximately 30ml. Same reason for the error. It's the consistency. 

Possible Reasons for Errors:

*Human Error (i was not using exact scale)

*Error in Materials (consistency varies)

Though I haven't proved it 100% accurately, I conclude that the measurement of volume should be equal in all products. 30ml of bottle 1 should be 30ml of bottle 2 regardless of the consistency, otherwise there's an error. In additional, the answer for ml to grams is dependent on the density of the material. You cannot convert grams to ml unless you know the density. Always remember that 30ml is different from 30 g except for materials with density of 1 like water. Ml is measured in volume and grams is in weight.

So, this is my hypothesis. What's yours?

Below are pics taken on October 28(on my 1st week of doing my skin care routine). I've seen improvements already after 1 week of doing this routine. 

NOTE: Sorry, i don't have any pics of my pimples during my breakout from September-October but I assure you, it's worse than the pics below.( i haven't done anything or put anything during 2nd week of September to 3rd week of October on my pimples)

Below are pics taken on Nov 6 (on my 2nd week of doing my skin care routine)

As you can see, it helps lessen the pimples. Yey! Stupid me, I should have done this before! But it’s okay, at least my pimples are almost gone now. 

So here’s my quick review on the products I’ve used:

Cpc+g (Clair Blanche – Papain – Calamansi plus Glutathione)

 This is a whitening ingredient (?) I mixed in my emu oil. I really like this because I notice that it helps me lighten my skin tone. I was using Elf Foundation in Rosy Beige before but because of cpc+g, I changed my shade from Rosy Beige to Beige.

Effects on me:

>Lighten my skin

Price:

Php 185.00 per 20 ml jar 

Directions for Use:

Use 1 to 3% or 3 to 6 drops of these babies and mix into your favorite lotion, astringent, cream, moisturizer and EVEN EMU OIL. Emu Oil plus CPC+G is the perfect combo! Emu Oil is the natural oil that penetrates the fastest onto one's skin.

Emu Oil

Emu oil is an oil made from the refined fat of the Emu, a bird native to Australia. It has been used for a thousand of years for the treatment of burns, wounds and bruises. It has also been used as a pain reliever for bone, muscle and joint orders. It is used to soften the skin while making it 2.5 times thicker and stronger, (thus reducing fine lines and wrinkles!) and is frequently found in ointments for dry cracked heels. It is considered to be the "it" ingredient in beauty products, such as natural analgesics, non-surgical facelifts and wrinkle removers because it is the only natural oil that penetrates the skin the fastest.

Emu oil has been shown in studies to aid in reducing scar formation in healed burn wounds, muscle sprains and arthritis due to its strong anti-inflammatory properties. It is also known to lighten the skin's appearance.

Emu oil is a proven anti-inflammatory, with effects comparable to that of ibuprofen; a bacteriostatic, meaning that it does not promote the growth of bacteria; a Hypoallergenic, which means it is not known to cause skin irritation or have any side effects; a highly penetrating oil that absorbs without leaving a greasy feel; and a non-comedogenic, meaning that it does not clog pores.

Emu oil naturally contains Vitamin E, which is a major antioxidant and healing agent; Vitamin A, a known skin repairer and antioxidant; Linoleic acid, which helps to ease muscle aches and joint pain; Oleic acid, which is a proven skin cell regenerator and anti-wrinkle agent; Sapogens, proven skin softeners; and Terpines, known antiseptics.

Effects on me:

>Treat my acne

>Soften skin

>Lightens scars

Price:

Php 425 per 30ml bottle
Php 700 per 50ml bottle 

(Quite Expensive but it works for me)
