The dumb dumb me.....
I love experimenting. I want to make my own pore strips with gelatin and milk (I read about this mixture somewhere) so I went to the supermarket today.
To be honest, I'm not really a supermarket savvy and I don't know where to get gelatin in Singapore. Seriously. I thought supermarkets should have it so I went there.
Do you know agar-agar powder? I bought that instead. I thought those were similar to gelatins! Yea silly. But then, gelatins make jelly and agar-agar is something similar to jelly, no? Ok no. When I blog right now I just realize the difference. Their textures are different. Jelly is more "solid" than agar-agar. Ok whatever. Should have bought the konnyaku powder instead i guess? Those are cheaper trust me!
So obviously when I mixed them with milk the solvent didn't harden like those normal liquid-mixed-with-gelatin should. I put them on my nose and they ended up as a milk scrub instead of pore strips. zzzzzzz.
I also bought a hot chocolate drink from Van Houten to make my own bronzer (OK I KNOW IT'S DUMB BUT HEY! EXPERIMENTS!! Don't you get what experiments mean??). It turns out that those chocolate powder are mixed together with sugar and creamer per sachet!! Who the hell would put on sugar and creamer over their cheeks rite? I should have bought pure cocoa powder next time!!
Luckily I only used like a teaspoon of the agar-agar powder and a little bit of milk so everything doesn't go to waste. In the end I make my chocolate agar-agar!! :)) [yes I mixed those opened chocolate drink sachet with the agar-agar and the milk] I have not tasted them yet but I hope it's yummy! :) They are already hardening in the fridge. Can't wait!!
But anyway I guess mistakes are good. Now I know what to buy next time.
