When I posted reviews on the previous versions of the Silcon Mix Deep Conditioner, I promised you all that I would try all 3 of them and review them. Well today is that day! I used and reviewed the Original Silicon Mix (review here) and the Silicon Mix Bambu (review here) and I had positive things to say. I intentionally didn't think I would find the Protein de Perla version around in local stores as easily, but my local beauty supply store started to carry the WHOLE Silicon Mix line (down to the shampoos!). So now that I have tried & tested the last installment to the line, I can truly compare it to the first two and share my review!
Today I will be sharing with you, my methods on how I remove gel nail Polish. On my youtube channel, I have had a few successful gel manicure how-to videos, and I wanted to accompany them with how to remove the gel polish. Now the gel that I use on my nails, is a UV/Led activated gel and it is a soak-off gel. That means it can be easily removed with acetone. I use the EZ Flow TruGel Gel Top Coat. When I run out of acetone, I can file off my gel polish. In the video below I show you how I soak off and file off the polish. The filing method is great for gel polish that is not the soak off variety. I used my Nail Drill that I purchased on Amazon (link below) for filing, but a regular nail file can be used though it would take a much longer time. So I hope you all find the video helpful! All products that I used can be found below the video.
A new brush has landed at E.l.f Cosmetics. A smaller version of their Stipple Brush. I purchased the new E.l.f Small Stipple Brush* because I have always wanted to try out a densely packed brush to cover the hard-to-reach areas on my face. This brush retails for $3 at E.l.f and is from their Studio Line. My makeup brush collection consists of all Studio Line brushes for face brushes and Essential Line brushes for eye brushes. I feel like the synthetic bristles are better for cream products and the natural hair bristles are best for powders. So lets gets into what I feel about this brush.
For those who are still in school, it's opening is only a few weeks away. So in lieu of that, I have put together this post for those of you who want to look fresh-faced on that first day! The products that I have listed below are inexpensive so they are practical for someone on a budget and some products below are ones that I do not own, at the moment. I will list everything from base to finishing, as foundation to blush.
