What's Your Favorite Nail Polish Remover?

Mine is The Face Shop's or Etude House's Nail Wash. But since I'm getting fond of Caronia nail polish I decided to try this:

I searched a long time for this product. It's not available at Landmark, Watson's nor Beauty by SM. I found it at SM Supermarket. It costs P50.

When it comes to nail polish removers, I'm very particular about the scent. I don't like the green local polish removers because they smell really bad. That's why I shell out 95 bucks to have a decent smelling polish remover. Caronia smells okay. You can still smell the acetone but not that strong. The cute color is a plus too. It's quite attractive especially to teenagers. 

The polish remover itself is good. You can compare it to Etude House's Nail Wash. I can easily remove my nail polish, even the thick glittery ones. It doesn't leave a white film on my nails but it kinda dries up my cuticles and the surrounding skin. My fingers peel a little a few minutes after application. 

I also don't like the container. It spills a lot. I was holding it upright the other night and accidentally shook the bottle. The contents spilled on my hand. Good thing I did not have nail polish then otherwise my nails would have been ruined. The amount of spilled liquid was enough to wet one cotton pad. Sayang!  

I may buy this again when I run out of Etude House Nailwash and don't have the time to run to Megamall. So again, what's your favorite nail polish remover?

Alone Time

My good friend Kitten and I were supposed to go out yesterday but she had some unexpected things come up. I needed to buy some stuff as I am packing for a trip and so I went alone. I actually enjoy going out alone as much as going out with girlfriends or MB. It gives me a chance to eat whatever I like to eat and explore new restos. It’s also nice to take my time when shopping. After paying my bills, I had a late lunch at Toast Box: I love Hainanese Chicken. I sometimes cook this dish but it’s too tedious so I settle for eating out. I’m so happy that there are now restaurants that serve proper Hainanese Chicken. Well, except that one above was sooooo bloody. It was swimming in blood when I pulled the meat apart so I had it changed. You know what Gordon Ramsay says, bloody chicken is poisonous. This is the second time I ate at Toast Box and in both times, the chicken was so bloody. After lunch, I started shopping. First stop was Beabi where I bought these: The Sakura thermos on...

Soft Luxe Travels: Day 1 - The Journey to Vigan Part 1

In this post, we will start our journey to Vigan! The Night Before After packing our things, I did a few things for myself to help me relax and decompress so that I can sleep. I'm a night owl and not used to waking up early nor sleeping early, so I have to be strategic.  I painted my nails that night after all my chores, so that the nail polish wouldn't chip.  However, I forgot that I needed to make pressed sandwiches for our breakfast the following day!  Because really, what’s a road trip mom without freshly painted nails and a last-minute kitchen hustle? 😂 So, I had to do a lot of washing and hoped for the best that my nail polish will not chip! Luncheon meat, eggs, Kewpie Trust me, it tastes better than it sounds at 11 PM while trying not to chip your polish. That night, we also tried the Ube Halaya from Amira's. This was from our trip to Tagaytay . I'll try to make a review of this on my food blog . With everything prepped, I finally let myself drift off—half excit...

Holiday State of Mind

  Sometimes, a quick escape is all it takes to reset the spirit. Tagaytay always gives me that holiday state of mind… Even a short drive can feel like a retreat when your heart is ready to embrace rest. My son successfully finished his recital last Sunday and as a reward, my sister treated us to Tagaytay yesterday.  Getting Ready for the Trip I decided to use my BYS Golden Hour Palette for today's look. Makeup, for me, is part of the ritual—it sets the tone that today is special. Here are the swatches: From top to bottom: Polaroid, Candid, Aperture, In Focus, Portrait, Panoramic In Focus is slightly wet, like something between a liquid and cream eyeshadow. The color is gorgeous! I love Panoramic, too! Polaroid is a bit chalky and not as pigmented as the shadows in the Queen Bee Palette.  Here are the face shades: Highlighter: Illumination Contour: Ambiance I haven't tried Illumination yet, only Ambiance. I used it on top of my BYS Bronzer. It's a buildable powder, a littl...
