Mini Reviews: Witch Hazel Astringent and Sally Hansen Nail Polish

I discovered this wonderful beauty product just recently. I was at the Guardian Pharmacy looking for germicidal solution which I use for cleaning my makeup brushes, when I saw Witch Hazel Astringent on one of the shelves. I got curious, read its back label, and bought it. Witch Hazel is said to be very good for the skin as it contains anti-oxidants which help diminish skin imperfections such as acne, comedones, and even enlarged pores. I've been using it for almost 2 weeks and I noticed that my skin has improved. It looks radiant and less oily now. Even my pores are remarkably minimized. I want to see results everytime I try a beauty product, and I must say that Witch Hazel did not disappoint me at all. You know what makes it even better? It costs only S$4. Amazing, right? :-)

From experience, I find it easier to maintain polish on my toenails than on my fingernails. That's because I'm incredibly OC and I wash my hands all the time. Being a student and a writer, spending hours and hours typing on the computer doesn't exactly help keep the polish on my tips intact, either. Still, I don't want to go without polished nails, so I thought of trying clear nail polish and picked up a bottle of Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Invisible. That stuff is amazing! It keeps my nails nice and shiny, and it doesn't chip easily. The best thing about this clear polish is that even after my nails have grown after a week, they don't look dirty. Of course you'd have to clean your nails and reapply the polish weekly, but you won't have a reason to be extra-conscious about them everyday! Plus, numerous local and foreign magazine surveys attest that most men like clean, unpolished nails. Hmm. Bet the extra shine wouldn't hurt! ;-)
