Review: Pretty Quik Instant Nail Polish Remover

 
Product: Pretty Quik (Manicure on the go) Instant Nail Polish Remover 

A tub with spongey material soaked in nail polish remover on the inside, you put your finger in 'dip and twist' and the nail polish rubs off. 

What I like about it:

I like the convenience and novelty of it. It is really convenient to just bring one small tub for travelling or sleepovers instead of having to bring a big bottle of nail polish remover and loads of cotton pads. 

It is also quite novel to 'simply dip and twist' as the instructions state. 

It definitely does work and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly it got off nail polish. Also, the formula (although strong) does not seem to be very drying on the cuticles and the smell is quite tolerable. 

It is also pretty value for money as this tub lasted me a good 4 months of weekly use.  

What I dislike about it: 

Does not remove glitter nail polish, but then again i'm not expecting miracles ;) Glitter nail polish is very difficult to remove by itself. 

Overall, a really convenient nail polish remover to have on travels!

Review: Primark False Eyelashes


Product: Primark Beauty Natural Look Lashes with Adhesive

Primark Natural Look False Eyelashes

What I like about it:

Very light and comfortable on the eye! (I did trim them a little to fit my eyes better, but I do that with most lashes to make them more comfortable. Lashes on the inner corner of the eye usually irritate me and is prone to come off.)

Looks very natural as it claims and in photos you just look like you have long thick lashes.

Suitable for day time wear.

Able to re-use as well. 

What I dislike about it:

Although it is great that the lashes come with glue, it is not the best quality but if you don't particularly have sensitive eyelids, it should work fine.


Overall, an amazing value for money product. For only 1 pound, it is really worth the money and an excellent product! Will definitely try the other kinds soon :)

Edit: Recently purchased the "Sultry Look Lashes" and I love them!! They have more length than the natural look ones but the lashes are less dark & stiff, making them more natural looking. Only quip is the band is much more flexible/weak and thus probably can't get that many uses out of it.
