B•liv by Cellnique

*Caution: People who cannot stand looking at blackheads may not want to read this* but I'll be leaving the picture at the very end of this post so it can be easily avoided~
L-R: Off With Those Heads || Spots Got Shot
Last month I received these two products from the lovely B•liv. Now when I was contacted by them I got pretty excited cause I did hear about them from one of Bubzbeautys videos. (*fangirling on the inside*)
Anyways I was sent the Off with those heads Blackhead Sebum Gel and the Spots got Shot blemish treatment serum to treat my blackhead and pimple problems.


Can we just stop and think about the names of the products?! It's probably the most creative names I've seen! 


So Bliv caters to many skin types from blackheads, large pores, acne, blemishes, dry skin, sensitive skin and oily skin. So anyone could find what they're looking for.
They also offer free shipping worldwide and a free sample with every product!

Off With Those Heads Blackhead Sebum Gel





Off with those heads || $49.00 || Link
It says on their website that this product is their number 1 best seller and it also had so many raves and reviews, so I did have pretty high expectations towards this.
What I really like about this is the packaging, it comes in a bottle with clear-ish packaging so I can easily see how much of the product is left and it's also in pump form, so very hygienic! 
When I was reading the box it came in, the ingredients actually contained some things I knew which was a relief. Witch Hazel, Tea Tree and Peppermint, if you didn't know, all three ingredients do help get rid of pimples.

  • It is normal for more oil to be secreted during initial period
  • Those with sensitive skin may experience mild stinging sensation 


When I applied this, it had a cooling sensation from it, which felt really nice and refreshing, it also smells quite nice too! I apply this mainly to my nose which is basically a city of blackheads. Then it sets in after a few minutes. I did this 2 times a day, and the results weren't instant but I did notice a difference after a week, the blackheads towards the tip of my nose started to go away! But they do start to come back once you stop using it which was a let down.
I've also let my brother try this out with me and I still have a lot of the product left, so it does last a long time.
For $49 it is pretty depressing towards my wallet, but I would consider repurchasing this when I run out... which I don't think will happen anytime soon.

Spots Got Shot Blemish Treatment Serum

Spots Got Shot || $25.00 || Link
As for this, it's actually their 4th best seller! 
Since I do suffer from blackheads, it's obvious that I get breakouts once in a while, but I will always get mini breakouts everywhere on my nose so I treat my pimples everyday with Tea Tree Oil. 
Now being a daily user of Tea Tree Oil, my nose isn't used to the salicylic acid that it contains and probably the other ingredients. So this product actually made my pimples worse. I had 2 small pimples on my forehead   that had been there for a few days, so I thought I would test this product on it but little did I know that the next day, the pimples were bigger than usual, it looked like it would pop at any second, sadly nothing could save it and yes it did pop when I was using my cleanser... gross I know.



 The product was like a cream that didn't have a pleasant smell, but it was bearable. 
Aside from the horrible incident I'm going to retry this product in the holidays to get my skin used to it and hopefully see whether it works or not. 


Overall I give these products altogether an 8/10!

  2. I got a couple of products from bliv too, one of them being the Off With Those Heads gel :) I haven't used it enough yet but I am working on it and hope to see great results! What a shame that the Spots Got Shot didn't work for you- I'm really interested in trying tea tree oil for blemishes though. Hope to see more improvement with your blackheads though!

      I actually haven't tried it on blemishes but tea tree oil is amazing on pimples! Definitely a lifesaver for me.

  8. ermmm, i have a question.

    for the off those heads item, after you put it on your nose or your t-zone, then what? clean it after it dried? or just leave it as it is?
