Review: Deborah Lippmann The Stripper To Go

don't you just hate it when you're out & about and your manicure gets chipped? that has happened to me several times and i was only left to sigh deeply and hope that the day ends as fast as it could so i could get home and take it all off. thankfully, i've recently discovered Deborah Lippmann The Stripper To Go Lavender Nail Lacquer Remover Finger Mitts. The girls running Luxola.com were so generous to send me a holiday goodie bag that included it.

i decided to use it today because my mani was showing tips already and it's gotten obviously far from the cuticle. i didn't know what to expect but i was pleasantly surprised - i was in for a treat.


Product Description:
- Award winning lavender lacquer remover in individual finger-tip mitts.
- Nail lacquer remover containing, aloe vera to prevent dehydration, and lavender.
- Lavender leaves a gentle scent on the skin, while protecting delicate cuticle with its natural anti-bacterial properties.
- One mitt cleans all ten nails.
- Six mitts per box.



my thoughts:
- i adore the very thin packaging: it is indeed very handy
- i was expecting not to have all 10 fingernails cleaned up totally but i was so wrong! it was a breeze (as in i'm done in a minute!) to take off color each nail completely. amazing!
- there was no white stain on my nail after cleaning it
- my nail or surrounding skin/cuticle didn't feel dry at all
- the scent was not overpowering (i used this in the bathroom though, be wary not to use in an airconditioned room, it does say to use in a well-ventilated area)
- it was a no-brainer to use and does the job effortlessly, it's unbelieveable!

*sorry i forgot to take a before and after shot of my nails as i was eager to shorten the length of my nail too so i proceeded to trim it off and forgotten all about that until i wrote this entry wah hehe. i will update this entry when i use this again to give you gals a visual idea. note: mitt is totally white before using it, i wore a lilac nail color so that was the stain you use above.

this is one of those products that i was ready to shrug off to the back of my head but ended up impressing me a lot! i was so impressed am actually contemplating on buying a full box (6 mitts), which retails at S$22 at Luxola.com. it's that good!

have you any emergency beauty items in your purse? spill and share what's great about it!

Yes, it's that day of the year again waited upon by eager shoppers -- Black Friday. I think it's one of the best times of the year to hoard for almost anything and everything, especially if you're based in the US. Why? Across all kinds, brands and range of products and items there are just so much variety to choose from at highly discounted prices. This "shopping holiday" is strategically practiced just a few days shy from the Christmas gift-giving season so shopping for yourself and loved ones (and may be for your enemies too!) just got a lot more convenient, timely and cost-effective. Good news for Singapore-based gals like us, Black Friday has definitely rubbed off on some local companies who's merrily jumping onto the sales bandwagon. Nowadays, this is even sweeter as the deals are not only available at our favorite or popular department stores and boutiques but available dominantly in online shopping! I'm a busy momma -- what with my crazy workload...

Belo (Acne) Oil Control Kit review

Image
*post changed on 9th January 2012: i've only noticed that i actually wrote "Belo ACNE Control Kit" when i got several comments on this post. it should be "Belo OIL Control Kit". i'm not sure if that stirred some confusion or if there is an acne kit per se but just to clarify, that the set i got is BELO OIL CONTROL KIT. so sorry for the confusion previously! previously, i've shared with you that i've tried Belo Acne  Oil Control Kit when i went for my very first facial and at the well-renowned Belo medical clinic (went at their Greenbelt branch). after finishing the entire line, i'd like to share my thoughts and experience. first, to refresh your memory of what the kit includes: i was advised with the following regimen: Morning: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Sunblock Gel Evening: Glycolic Soap 5% Belo Prescriptives Pore Minimizer CHAT 2% Daily Peel Solution on the Glycolic Soap: - i've never us...

i went back to Manila around late second week of July to get my 3rd ESWL . but before that, i went to Belo at The Residences @ Greenbelt with my youngest sister to get a facial and advice on how to improve our skin. i've never had facial EVER before so i didn't know what to expect. when we arrived, the ladies at the reception greeted us promptly and asked our names to know our appointment. the ambiance of the clinic is very serene, inviting and pleasant. immediately after getting in, i inhaled this clean, jasmine(?) aroma - uhm, very soothing. one of the ladies at the reception received us, then ushered us into available seats and shortly thereafter were offered drinks then asked to fill up a form (since it's our first time there). after a little while, we were assisted to our respective treatment rooms for the facial. my facialist that day was Matet. she was pretty (her skin was radiant!), professional and very accomodating with my queries. she also made me feel at...
