Product Review: Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi

     Hello dearies! I'm excited to share with you this new product innovation that will make your feet beautiful in less than 5 minutes. The result is instant and after first use, you will see and feel the difference. You can bare your beautiful feet after 1 use.

     Do you love going to nail salon and have your foot spa and pedicure done twice a month? If yes, what are the no-no's that you've experienced before in your foot spa sesh? I presume that the list of not so good experiences include long queues, heavy-handed spa attendants, an accidental cut from the manual callus file, a tad expensive service, and time. If you're so busy, I'm sure that you'll just opt to have home service foot spa but not all nail salons in the metro cater to this kind of service. Fret not, I have a good news- introducing Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi :) This product can give all the benefits that you get your regular foot spa session at the comforts of your home! At first I was hesitant that it will give me a soft and smooth skin in an instant but after my first try, I'm impressed! Scroll down to see why you should have this product at home :)

Photo above: Right foot with callus and a semi-cracked heel
Photo below: After using Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi, the calluses are literally removed and the cracks are barely seen. Photo taken using my O+ 8.92 smartphone. No filter. 

What I like:

• The price is affordable if I'll do the math it saves at least 80% from foot spa sessions.
• Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi's ergonomically shaped soft-touch handle makes it easy to use.
• It is battery operated no need for manual scrubbing. Just push the button and voila, let the specially designed rolling surface do the job!
• It is easy to use.
• No blade, cutting, and other sharp materials so it's safe and ready to use.
• The product can be used immediately, no other tasking procedure required. 
• The head can be replaced with a new roller head. Talk about convenience of refills!
• After using the file, there's an instant result.
• My feet feel soft and smooth to touch.
• The calluses that I got from wearing rubber slippers are not that visible after one use of Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi.
• Removes hard skin without damaging my normal thin skin. I have thin skin and there's a time where one of my foot spa sessions gone wrong. The attendant over-scrubbed the callus on the lateral plantar section. 
• I'm impressed that it also blurs out or can lessen the wrinkled areas on the sole of my feet.

What I don't like:

• None so far!

Will I repurchase? Yes, it's in the realm of possibility. This is a perfect gift this Christmas to foot spa fanatic friends and relatives.

Recommendation:
     I give this a 4.5/5 rating. I highly recommend this product if you love having pedicure sesh twice a month and if you're the type of individual who is always on the go. This will perfectly fit your busy schedule. The convenience of having this product can save you time and hassles from going to nail spa and salon.

     No need to wait for long queues just to get a foot spa and pedicure in nail salons.. Just turn on the button and you're just a couple of minutes away to having a beautiful feet that you can bare anytime, anywhere!

Best Hair Care 

     Hair-coloring addicts can keep up sublimely tinted tresses with Phyto Gloss from the French herbal hair-care company.

     Anybody with dry, damaged, brittle locks can use Phyto's Secret De Nuit, a hydrating, recovering night treatment that is out and out addictive. I utilize it as a brisk fix for frizzy hair and flyaways. Before going to sleep, I apply it on my lengths and finish and wake up with frizz free, delicate, supple hair that smells magnificent. 

Best DIY Gel Manicure 

     A gel nail manicure without the bother and well being hazards? Do it without anyone's help with Deborah Lippmann's Gel Lab System, which makes lasting, healthy nails achievable at home.

Best Eyeliners 

     Because of K-Palette 1Day Tattoo I utilize eyeliner each and every day. In case I'm surged I go for the Real Lasting Eye pencil, which is so natural to apply, smirch safe and normal looking. For exceptional events or when I have additional time I swing to the Real Lasting Eyeliner, which has taken all trepidation of fluid liner out of me. For a more natural look I utilize the smaller scale tip pen to draw the finest lines; when I need more dramatization or a cat's eye the normal Real Lasting Eyeliner is my magic wand! You can find all products from K-Palette and other beauty brands when you shop Beauty products from Luxola

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes

     Whenever I step inside any branch of Watsons Store, I'm always in a eureka moment! It's one of my favorite stores in the metro because of best deals and great finds under one roof. I've been a Watsons shopper ever since, I can't recall when was the exact year that both of my feet landed inside their store here in Fairview but from then on, my trip to Sm Malls and other malls where there is Watsons will not be complete if I will not pay a visit at their store.

     So when I was invited to shop with one of Watsons brand ambassador last week, I immediately said yes without hesitation. I was so excited to shop with Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes because I've heard lots of great things about her. She's nice inside and out. Truth be told she's really nice and approachable in person :) Dressed in a Watsons Store personnel uniform, Ms. Tessa introduced me to Watsons Label. She's a smart shopper that's why she highly recommends Watsons Label to all the shoppers. More details about this fun shopping event with Tessa Prieto-Valdes after the jump!

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign
Ms. Tessa Prieto-Valdes welcoming the shoppers inside Watsons SM Aura

     From personal care items, beauty essentials, and even medicine, Asia's leading personal care store now offers a wider variety of products under it's own label, giving shoppers the choice to save as much as 80 percent without compromising on quality. That's a big savings especially for a mother like me who wants to save money on everyday essentials.

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes
Switch and Save with these Watsons Label products

     Watsons has irresistible deals that's why their campaign has caught the attention of several celebrities who made the Switch and Save including Tessa Prieto-Valdes, Patty Laurel, Iya Villana-Arellano and the newest switcher Christian Bautista.

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes
Watsons Label Hand Soaps- available in gel and cream variants

     Since I'm a skin care junkie, the first products from the Watsons Label line that caught my attention was the hand soap, hand soaps! They offer a variety of hand soaps in a BOGO (Buy 1, Get 1) deal. It's amazing that they also have refills for each variant that's also in a buy 1 take 1 offer. I want to buy a pair from each variant, if you only knew me. I wash my hands more than 10 times a day at home. That's how OC I am, clean hands all the time!

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes

     Tessa Prieto- Valdes shared her bath essentials which include Watsons Strawberry and Yoghurt Cream Hand soap that effectively cleanses and protects hands from dryness, Watsons Scented Cream Body Wash with Goat's Milk to gently slough off dead skin cells and helps to hydrate and brighten the skin and Watsons Whitening Milk and Salt Scrub to help enhance the skin, and exfoliate dead skin cells.

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes

     Tessa was a very energetic and informative sales attendant that day so I was persuaded by her words to switch to Watsons Label Hand soaps. These hand soaps smell so good! Not bad for the price since a 500 ml of scented hand soap costs 74.50 php. For less than 150 php, you'll get 2 500 ml bottles of cream or gel variant. What's great about the offer is that you can also mix and match the variants from the hand soap line.

     I also found out that to keep her skin looking healthy and protect it from free radical damage, Tessa relies on a couple of products from Watsons Generics. Watsons Glutathione to lighten skin and prevent skin darkening caused by UV exposure and Watsons Vitamin E to prevent eye disorders and help her avoid a number of diseases. 

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes

     Tessa is the second Switch and Save Ambassador who made a surprise visit to a Watsons Store. Watsons Label believes that with more value from hard-earned money spent on quality affordable products, every Filipino Gets more savings to enjoy other important things in life with their loved ones.

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes

     To tell you honestly, I did not shop that day even if my hands were itching to place most of the Watsons Label products that was recommended by Tessa to me in my shopping basket. I have kept in my mind all the things she rave and the personal care products that she's truly using. So when I got home, I listed them down and last weekend I went to Watson's Fairview Terraces branch to shop, Switch and Save with Watsons Label products.

     The photo above shows my haul. I've included other brands that I'm already using here. They have great deals with other brands so I also bought them. Anyhoo, I'm so happy with my hauls! Total shopping damage spent was 2,000 php. I just forgot to include the hand soaps in this photo. I've hoarded and shared them with my sisters and in-laws. I've bought 6 bottles in different variants and 2 hand soap refills.

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes
Watson's Generics Vitamin E, Watsons Generics Vitamin C, Watsons Invigorating Wet Tissue in Green Tea,  Watsons Loofah Pad, Watsons Milk and Salt Scrub with Collagen, Watson's Argan Oil Shampoo, Watsons Psyllium Fiber Powder in Calamansi Flavor

     Here are the Watsons Label products that I bought which gave me a big savings! As per Tessa's advice, the Watson's Generics Vitamin E prevents eye disorder and other disease so I need to have a box! I've also included Watsons Generics Vitamin C, Watsons Invigorating Wet Tissue in Green Tea scent which is their best-seller, Watsons Loofah Pad, Watsons Milk and Salt Scrub, also a fave of Tessa but my pick was the collagen variant. Watson's Argan Oil shampoo because I'm a sucker for anything natural and Watsons Psyllium Fiber out of curiosity because it's calamansi flavor.

Watsons Switch and Save Campaign with Tessa Prieto-Valdes

Get a 300 coupon with a minimum single-purchase receipt of 1,500 php from the participating Watsons Label products and exclusive participating brands. Promo will run until May 20, 2015.

Locycare Nail Gel Launch #BareThoseNails

     Can you #BareThoseNails? I presume the answer will not be a resounding yes but half yes, half maybe and mostly no. If you love painting your nails on a daily basis, I will not be surprised if you can't bare those nails. I'm sure that long time nail polish users are worrying about the state of their nails. Nail polishes look pretty in our nails but in the long run, it will take its toll not only in the nail bed but also on the surrounding parts like the cuticle and free edge.

     While putting on nail colors is aesthetically pleasing, have you ever thought how these products, from one application to another, may adversely affect the condition of your nail plates? Nail polishes contain chemicals that may affect the condition of your nails that's why proper care should be accompanied every time you opt to have your manicure and pedicure in at your favorite nail spa or at the comfort of your own home. Without proper care, unhealthy, dull and discolored nails will result and there are times can pose minor health risk. We don't want that to happen, right? So here's a great news for nail polish addicts! Galderma Philippines introduces Locycare Nail Gel. To know more about the product, click CONTINUE READING and join me as I #BareThoseNails!

Product Review: Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel- Photos and Swatches

     Hello dearies! If you're a long time reader of this blog, I presume you already know that I'm a stay-at-home-mom, I do household chores that's why I wash my hands more than 10 times a day. With that said, my manicure doesn't lasts long. Even if I use a premium nail polish, the edges tend to chip the next day. 

     I've tried gel nail polish thrice and it lasted for 5 days to a week. For a hands-on mom like me, gel nail polish is prolly the best bet for long-lasting manicure. There are 2 things why sometimes I veered away from gel nail polish aside from weekly trips to nail salon. First, the price of the service is a bit steep for a budget conscious individual like me. Lastly, if the gel polish started to chip, I need to go back to the salon and avail the gel polish removal service or I'll let my nails grow and get an uneven polish at the bottom part of my finger nails (lunula).

    I think the solution to my so called roller coaster nail polish love affair came to life when Revlon Philippines sent me their Colorstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel. The word 'gel envy' is intriguing. Be the judge and see if this nail polish collection from Revlon fits the bill. Click CONTINUE READING to see photos and swatches of these 8 pretty shades.

Feature: French Tips Nail Parleur Fairview Terraces

     Hello all! I was invited by Sir Orgie, PR for Nail-a-holics for an afternoon of royal pampering experience at French Tips Nail Parleur Fairview Terraces three weeks ago. The nail salon is located at the 3rd level of the mall and it's my first time to visit a French themed salon that is also under the management of Nail-a-holics. What you see outside reflects the inside of French Tips Nail Parleur because the ambiance is different from other nail spa and salon themes that I have visited before. 

     The nail attendants were in a French painter like uniform and the music inside was very relaxing. It's more of classical baby! Don't be intimidated by the word "royal" because the price of their services are almost the same with other nail salons but I can say that the experience is worth paying for. To see more of French Tips Nail Parleur's interiors and the shades of nail polish that I've picked for my nail of the day, click CONTINUE READING :)

Posh Nails Whitening Manicure and Pedicure Powered by GlutaMAX Launch

     Exactly a week ago, I was invited to the launch of Posh Nails new Manicure and Pedicure service powered by GlutaMAX. I was very excited to attend the event because Posh Nails decided to have the launch of their new service in an afternoon of dancing. It's been ages since the last time I joined an aerobics class so when I heard that it will be Zumba dancing, I immediately said yes to the invitation.

     The theme of the Zumba party was throwback to the 80's and we were required to wear 80's outfit during the event. I really enjoyed the Zumba party, actually it's my first time to attend a Zumba event. It's an afternoon of 80's music and the dance moves really made me sweat it all out! So before I share with you Posh Nails Hand and Foot Spa's newest offering that will make your hands and feet pampered to a new level, click CONTINUE READING and smile!

NOTD: Ruby Wing

     Happy Monday dearies! Sharing with you another NOTD today with the most recent nail polish shade that I have on my toe nails. I already removed the nail polish on my finger nails last week because the edges started to chip. But before that happened, I was able to take photos so don't worry you'll still see my finger nails painted. I'm sure you already know the brand that I used in this nail of the day post because the title says Ruby Wing. It's a new brand of nail polish that changes its color outdoor. If I'm not mistaken, this brand of nail polish is exclusively available at Beauty and Butter Nails, Face and Art branches only. When I visited Beauty and Butter Fairview Terraces branch, I opted this brand since it's summer, I will see the color of my nail polish change whenever I'm out in the sun. I'm glad that I chose Ruby Wing nail polish- it makes my day bright and fun because the nail polish transforms into a new color and it's so cool! Excited to see the shades that I picked? I'll share both my manicure and pedicure color :) So click CONTINUE READING and smile!

NOTD: Neutrals

     Yay! As promised, here's another NOTD post. I'm so excited to share the colors that I picked during my visit to Nailaholics Nail Salon and Spa last February with my sister. I think the shade that I chose is very timely for summer. Since it's scorching hot and seeing bold nail colors tend to hurt my eyes, I decided to paint my nails with neutrals. I know most of you choose neutral shades too and the more common shades are touch of tan and beige. Well, for you next neutrals may I suggest you add a touch of sophistication to your neutral shade nail polish. Why don't you try a neutral shade with purple or gray undertone? Oh before I forgot I also had my pedicure that day and chose another neutral shade that's very pretty. So without further ado here's my take on neutrals courtesy of O.P.I and Nail-a-holics Fisher Mall branch. Click CONTINUE READING to see what shades used :)

NOTD: Jada and Twill

     Happy Easter to all! Let the egg hunt begin :) So before you go out today and celebrate this special day let me share with you my first NOTD for 2014. I know it's super later post since I had this nail color last January. It's my second time using a gel polish to date and I think I already found the right kind of nail polish for my nails. My finger nails are soaked to laundry detergents and dish washing soap most of the time that's why regular and premium nail polishes easily crack and get chipped right after my manicure. I have mommy duties and I can't prevent my hands from getting wet all day long. Anyhoo, aside from my manicure I would also like to show you my pedicure because I'm really diggin' the color that I got for my toe nails. It's not gel polish though but it lasts more than 2 weeks or 1 month the most. The brand of gel nail polish that was used here is Jennifer Lynn. I'm not familiar with the brand but it's made in the US. There were so many colors to choose from and I totally had a hard time choosing because all of them looked gorgeous! Excited to see the gel polish that I chose? Click CONTINUE READING and find out more!
