REVIEW: Sassy Nail Art

Sassy colors is a cheap nail polish brand in my place.  I was so excited when I discovered their nail art thingies!   Sadly I dont have alll of the colors but I'm planning on collecting them.  They can be a dupe for artdeco's!


Product picture.  This one is purple with glitters on it



playing around with the product :)
PROS:
  • affordable only cost me 22 pesos
  • locally available, purchased mine at Isetan Carriedo
  • pigmented for the price
  • does not easily chips
  • super thin brush, perfect for nail art junkies
fine look at the brush

CONS:
  • limited color selection
  • a bit thick for my taste

MY RATING:  I really like this product.  I like it so much that I don't care about the cons of it!  I recommend this product and will definitely repurchase it!  I just need to find a long lasting top coat though. HELP! need suggestions :)

GARNIER: Light Complete Multi - action whitening cream


Hi everyone! I am back with a product review. By the looks of the title above I am reviewing Garnier's Multi- action whitening cream.
I am recovering from a bad break- out the whole month of September and I am desperately in need of products that will remove the traces of dark spots due to pimple break- out.

By the way, the product that broke me out is the new activated carbon facial foam of Pond's.
It was raved about so I decided to try it. Unfortunately, my skin does not like it. So much for my Pond's skin routine.

Anyhooo, back to the subject. Since I believe that my skin does not want Pond's product into my life, I decided I will try GARNIER. They are well known for their skin line so might as well give it a try.

So, I bought the 20 ml pack (refer to the picture above) after debating with my mom that I like to try the sachet version first but she talked me in buying this version. What the heck, she is the one paying so, why not right?

I've been using this for 3 weeks now and here are my thoughts:

PROS:

  • It does control my oily face (8hr shine- free look according to the packaging)
  • It lightened my dark spots and acne marks but it is still visible.
  • affordable. (the sachets costs Php20 for 3 packs coz their having a promo I think. 20ml costs around Php 60-70 I'm not quite sure)
  • acts as a good eye shadow primer, too! Since I can not afford yet UDPP, I got creative one day and I used as a primer and my shadows did not crease for the entire day. surprisingly amazing!
  • multi- purpose white cream. With this, you can combine all the steps in your routine with just one step.
CONS:
  • At first, my skin looks super dry. I guess that was my face adjusting to the product.
  • My powder foundation was difficult to blend when I use it with this product but I don't mind. As long that my skin is matte I am happy with it.
My rating: 4/5

Overall, I am really liking this product and with the prize like that it's very good. I hope you friends can try.

xoxo,
