La Fresh Acetone-Free Nail Polish Remover REVIEW

Okay so I have finally used this (got my fake nails off the other day and now I need to change my colour).
WTF. LOL that is all. I did not like this at all!!!

Yes it smelled good, however it took FOREVER for a single nail to be cleaned of polish. What I had on my nails was some Witchcraft Nail Hardener, 2 coats of Deborah Lippmann's Whatever Lola Wants (from my Topbox) and 1 coat of my China Glaze Fast Foward Top Coat.

First of all, it took me approximately 2 minutes for a single nail to be polish free (I know this because I was simultaneously watching a youtube video) and the pad felt greasy. I understand that it's supposed to clean and condition your nails, but to me, it felt like I was just greasing up my nails. I didn't even bother finishing cleaning up my nails with it. I did 4 nails and switched over to my Quo strengthening nail polish remover.

A speculation I have about how crappy this was is maybe that it's acetone-free so it doesn't readily dissolve nail polish like acetone- based polish remover.

Yes acetone is bad for you but in my opinion, for the convenience and time of the removal with an acetone remover outweighs the bad of it.

Such a short review because I don't really have much to say about it other than I didn't like it :(


EDITTING THIS REVIEW okay so I used the 2nd pad I have because I stupidly left my nail polish remover open and so it evaporated. I gave this another chance and REALLY like it. Maybe it was because of the polish? I used China Glaze instead of my Deborah Lippmann for colour so that may have been a real why. I find China Glaze polishes a lot easier to take off in general. The smell is still really nice! and it cleaned up my nails a lot better now. I can now say I will probably buy this again! I don't really know what else to say other than it may have been the polish formula I was using.

GLAMGLOW Tingling & Exfoliating Mud Mask (Glymm Box)

Hey everyone! I decided to make a new post about the product I tried out from my February Glymm Box.

I currently have the GLAMGLOW mask on my face. On the Glymm card, it says "Lights, Camera, Action! Designed for Hollywood's entertainment industry, it tingles, tightens & lightens in 15 minutes, so you're always camera-ready. Volcanic rock, French Sea Clay and real pieces of Green Tea Leaf will give you super sexy, super radiant skin."

The product we got was a sample size which was 7 ml (0.24 oz) and the actual product is 50 ml (for $78).

The consistency of this product was a bit liquidy (I thought it would be a lot more *thick* since it says it is clay)  but it is quite chunky with the bits and pieces in it. Because it was liquidy, the application was a bit difficult. I couldn't create a uniform thickness layer on my skin. I noticed in a picture I took with my phone that I actually missed a few spots on my face.. lol! The product actually dried pretty quickly. It comes out as a dark grey/green colour and it is now a pale grey/green colour which chunks of tea leaves and granules. The smell is absolutely divine! That is, if you like green tea!

I used almost the whole sample size and the picture I will be posting is how much coverage I got. I think if I applied it where I missed my spots and covered my face completely (like how I usually do it with LUSH masks), I would've probably used the whole sample. I was hoping it would last me two tries, but I see that it's not possible now!

It has to be on for 15 minutes, and hence why I'm writing the post right now. I can definitely feel it tightening up on my face (but to me, that is no different from any other mask I've used). My skin is starting to feel a little bit itchy right now, but I do find myself a little bit sensitive to products sometimes. I had a bit of an outbreak of acne on my forehead and I used a whitehead/blackhead picker to take out the sebaceous things so I hope this mask closes up my pores.

Okay, timer went off. Time to wash this mask off and reveal some "super sexy, super radiant skin" haha.

My skin definitely seems smoother and I still got some bumpies on my head haha. You're supposed to scrub & exfoliate while washing it off. It kind of spattered all over my sink area. I think it's because when you add the water, it goes back to that liquidy form it was in before. Well, in any case my skin feels great!

I just wish the sample size was a bit bigger so that I could try it a few more times.

I'll upload my mask picture tomorrow because I have my MMI for DH tomorrow morning.... in 9 or so hours so I really should be sleeping.

Thanks for reading :)
