Love: Nail It

I have been a loyal Dashing Diva customer for the past 1 year. But last Sunday, I was all alone in Glorietta while waiting for my hubby to be finished with his thing. I stumbled upon this shop. Since I was also due for a pedicure I decided to try their services. Good decision for me! The girls were so nice & accommodating to me as I was asking a lot of questions. I availed of their pedi spa (300) and pedicure (220?). I thought Dashing Diva's service was worth it but Nail It! takes the cake. I went in at around 1:40 and left at around 3:30. Their seats are more comfortable that I even fell asleep. This rarely happens to me. As for their polishes they use Orly & Face Shop. But at the Glorietta branch, I only saw Orly polishes.

I even got a Membership Card that gives you freebies for a certain number of services you avail to them. 

The bad side is that I have to go all the way to Katipunan as this the nearest branch to me.

Nail It!

Gmarket Seller: Dr. Jart

Price: 19,000 won

Bought this months ago together with Re-Tighten Mask which was being sold as a set.

Pros:
 - One tube lasted me for months. You only need to apply a small amount then dilute it with water before you put it in your face.
- It really does do the job of cleaning your face because when I apply my toner, there’s no more trace of dirt left in my face. The oiliness in my face did lessen also.

Cons:
- Unfortunately, there are more cons than pros. It can be quite harsh on those who have sensitive skin (like me). That’s why I dilute it with water because sometimes
- it made my skin dry & flaky. My pores are still there & it did nothing to my pores.

Purchase it again? Sadly, NO. I had high hopes for Dr. Jart products.

Recommended for: I would recommend this for those who don’t have sensitive skin.

No, it’s not part of a computer or something geeky!

100ML
Price: P292.00

Body & Body

I would always find myself looking at this store because of their products & out of curiosity I bought the one for the tummy (the red one). Now that I have started to take care of my weight I have been doing treadmills lately. I tried it out since it would be the perfect complement for my exercise. I was so right! I squeezed just enough for my tummy & once I massaged it, give it 5-10 minutes you will feel the effect. It’s comparable to Omega but it’s more hotter. The scent is also floral & I love it.
I did sweat a lot in my tummy area where I put the gel. This product is recommended especially for those who are exercising.
One good thing about this store is that they have a lot of variants to choose from. There’s one for night time, with flavors, for the whole body. So better check this store.

New Home Again

Hopefully this is the last!
