Review: Skinlite Nail Polish Remover Pads

Skinlite Nail Polish Remover Pads (36 pre-moistened pads)

Description:
- Pre-moistened, non-acetone, one-step nail polish removal treatment.
- Pads are saturated with special formulation that easily removes nail polish while conditioning cuticles and promoting healthy nails.

The product comes in a 'cheap-looking' plastic container with a plastic twist-off screw cap. It's well sealed with foil.

Contains only 36 pre-moistened pads. The thickness for each pad is quite thin.

Scent:
It has a citrus-y scent. I like it. hahahah.

Demonstration on my mom's toe nails~~ XD :

It takes a few swipes to remove the polish. :/

Likes:
- the scent
- non acetone formula
- the pre-moistened pads idea~
- leaves nails feeling not too drying as compared to other nail polish remover in liquid form
- cheap price

Dislikes:
- takes time... it takes a few swipes to remove the polish
- even if it's well-kept in the container, the pads tend to dry up easily once the foil is unsealed; can't last long

I will not repurchase this. I prefer liquid form nail polish remover because it removes nail polish quicker than this pre-moistened pad. And even if it's well-kept in the container, the pads tend to dry up easily once the foil is unsealed. If it's begin to dry up(semi-dried up), it gets much tougher to remove the nail polish. Once the pads totally dried up, it became useless............ (-.-) Well, mine dried up... lol. sigh. I'm not going to repurchase this. That's it.

Review: Etude House Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand & Heel Cream

Etude House Hand Bouquet Rich Butter Hand & Heel Cream (100ml)

Description: Combination hand & foot cream. The rich essence of shea butter moisturizes and nourishes hands and feet with an improved anti-wrinkle formula for soft, smooth skin.
Directions: Apply cream onto palm and use hands to massage cream into skin. Applicable both hands and feet.
Main Ingredients: 5% Shea butter, Adenosine

The product is well-wrapped with plastic sheet/wrapper?(whatever it's called...) and you can simply rip it off. It comes in a greyish-pink squeezable tube with floral prints on it which makes it looks quite feminine.

Comes with a plastic twist-off screw flip cap and the opening is perfectly sealed with foil.

Consistency and Color:

The milk-colored cream looks quite heavy when it first got squeezed out from the tube however, when I massage it on my skin, the consistency is actually light and creamy. It get absorbed into the skin within a few minutes without leaving a sticky or greasy layer.

Scent:
To me, it smells like baby powder with a little hint of floral...

Likes:
- the packaging, love the squeezable tube
- leaves hands and feet feeling soft, smooth and moisturized
- easy to apply and blend
- absorbed into the skin without leaving a sticky or greasy layer
- the generous amount, 100ml!~

Dislikes
- the smell lingers on my hands after washing (-_-")

The one I got is for the hands and heel. It has a smaller version, 50ml, which is for the hands only. People who like to carry hand cream everywhere you go, you might want to get the 50ml version. It's smaller which I think it's convenient to carry it around in your bag. :)

Review: DHC Medicated Acne Care Concealer

DHC Medicated Acne Care Concealer (10g)
Conceals, smoothens and resists sebum.

Description: A long-lasting concealer that covers acne marks and skin discoloration. Contains 'Fix Polymer' that is strongly resistant to skin oil, forming a thin, snug-fitting veil that adheres to the skin.
No fragrance. No preservatives.

Comes in 2 shades - 01 Natural Ocher and 02 Natural Beige??? (?)
PS: I can't remember the name of the shade in 02.

Claims to do:
- Conceals pimples, acne scars and pigmentation
- Even out roughness
- Resists sweat and stays put
- Primes the skin for long-lasting makeup application

Ingredients list

Tested on my arm. XD

FYI, I do get zits on my arm because I always rest my arm on the table lol.

By the way, I only applied the concealer on the spot without applying any other make-up products under or above it.

Likes:
- specially for acne prone skin .aka. troubled skin
- contains SPF
- not greasy
- a little goes a long way
- does not break me out
- does conceals pimples, acne scars and pigmentation(light to medium coverage)
- does not aggravate pimples
- matte finish
- sweat-resistant .aka. sweat-proof
- easy to blend
- pretty long-lasting for me :)

Dislikes:
- there's nothing I dislike about...

I have been using this concealer for 3-4 years now and I'm still loving this concealer. I tried to change to other brands' concealer in between the years and ended up I always coming back to this. Nothing beats this concealer. :) What I like about this concealer are listed above so do refer to the 'Likes' section~

It gives a light to medium coverage. It does not cover and hide all the acne marks perfectly. I mean it does cover light pinkish, brownish color marks perfectly but it does not works well for a darker reddish, brownish acne marks. After all, it only has a light to medium coverage, not full coverage. That's my opinion...because it does not cover my dark reddish, brownish acne marks perfectly or maybe... I just don't have the skill to blend it well? lol. Anyway, if you're looking for a light to medium coverage concealer for acne prone skin, this is it! :D

Review: Bourjois Effet 3D Lip Gloss

Bourjois Effet 3D Lip Gloss (20 Rose Symphonic)

Got mine in 20 Rose Symphonic

A glamorous and shimmery pink lip gloss.

Consistency and Color:
Looks kind of gooey in the tube and on the brush but... it's not when apply on the lips! What makes me so fond of this gloss is because it's totally not sticky at all! It's easy to apply on lips and it does not dry up the lips!♥ The color is between sheer to opaque shimmery baby pink and it can be build-able.

Scent:
Mild sweet fragrance

Likes:
- not sticky!
- 8 HRS hydrate;  moisturizing, totally not drying at all!
- fine micro glitter; glossy, glittery and shimmery~
- plump up the lips
- pretty color
- color is build-able
- the applicator; easy to apply
- glides on smoothly
- the scent
- comes in a variety of shades

Dislikes:
- wear off during drinking and eating

This is the only brand of lip gloss which I like and use it quite often. I have tried other brands of lip gloss before but well, this is the only one that I find it not sticky and unlike some other lip glosses, this does not have a strong sweet or fruity fragrance. Honestly, I'm a person who don't like flavored lip gloss/lip balm but I'm fine with the scent of Bourjois lip gloss. At least, it's not overpowering.

Overall, I love this lip gloss and imma getting another shade from this brand~ There are a variety of shades to choose from so... people who likes glittery, shimmery lip gloss but dislikes sticky and strong flavored lip gloss, try this. :D
