Nature Republic Flower Waltz Color Waltz Nail Remover

I love it when my nails are painted in a bold, dark shade, but removing it is hell if you have a no-good, cheap acetone. The one I bought before for just about P20.00 was like water diluted with a small part of acetone, and it was totally useless in removing even light colors. @_@

My recent nail polish remover is amazing (and yet, affordable)! I consider it an HG product for nail polish addicts out there! :D

Nature Republic Flower Waltz Color Waltz Nail Remover

This flower-scented nail remover with the active ingredient of keratin makes nails healthy and moisturized.

I have to admit, I rarely go to Nature Republic. This is actually my first ever purchase from their store. Their other products look promising, too!


Here, my nails are painted using Dazzle Dry Nail Lacquer in Evening Song. The shade is absolutely stunning, but I remove my polish immediately when parts of it starts to chip. I can't stand seeing chipped polish since they look messy and unkempt.


I applied just the usual amount of remover on a piece of cotton.
 

I let it sit on top of my nails for a few seconds, and off comes the polish! No violent tugging, whatsoever. Not only does it remove any nail polish effortlessly, it also feels cooling on the nails/skin, and smells like flowers to boot! (Definitely no offensive chemical scent here.)

Nature Republic Flower Waltz Color Waltz Nail Remover is amazing at just P55.00! Beats other Korean nail polish removers for its price and performance. The only not so amazing thing about it is that it's always out of stock.

Like Nature Republic Philippines on Facebook for more information and updates on their products.

Love,
Helen

Haul: Unique Grocery Finds

Other people may find going to the grocery a chore, but not me! I truly enjoy the experience of being surrounded by aisles of food. :D

Aside from stocking up on basic necessities, I also love buying sweets and interesting things that tickle my fancy. Let me share with you my unique grocery finds this month!

Hershey's Candy Cane
Price: P41.25
Place bought: Landmark Supermarket, Trinoma

Every since the -ber months started, I've been visiting malls in search of a big pack of Hershey's Kisses in Candy Cane flavor, but to no avail. I finally found it, but it bar form. No complaints here! I absolutely love this chocolate to bits, and could only wish this wasn't limited edition.

Andes Peppermint Crunch Thins
Price: P140.00
Place bought: Landmark Supermarket, Trinoma

This one's similar to Hershey's Candy Cane with mint chocolate and red crunchy peppermint candy bits. Only, this one's not limited edition so I can buy it whenever I want! :D
 
Cream-O White Peppermint
Price: P50.00
Place bought: Puregold

I couldn't find this anywhere, so my friend bought it for me instead. The box is so nostalgic! It's how Cream-Os were packaged when I was a kid. However, it's not minty enough for me.

Lemon Square Whatta Tops Red Velvet Flavor 6s
Price: P55.00
Place bought: Puregold Kanlaon

I only got it because of the packaging, the sprinkles, and the fact that it's red velvet. It was cute while it lasted, but I'm not buying it again since it's not that delicious.

Cloud9 Salted Caramel
Price: P10.00
Place bought: Robinsons Supermarket, Z-Square

Nips White Chocolate
Price: P10.00
Place bought: Puregold Kanlaon

I'm not usually fond of buying local chocolates because I find them lacking in smoothness and creaminess that are usually inherent in imported ones. These ones, I had to try since they're white chocolate!

Cloud9 Salted Caramel has an interesting flavor. Inside it are pretzel pieces which I believe gives it the salted flavor. Nips White Chocolate tastes like Haw Haw Milk Candy in chocolate form.
 
Philippine Brand Chocolate-Coated Dried Mango
Price: P60.00
Place bought: Puregold Kanlaon

I love dried mangoes and chocolates (separately), but this was also too interesting to pass up. The dried mango part was good, but the milk chocolate part was just okay. The chocolate had a crispy texture, similar to the Sundae McDip of McDonald's.

Royal Family Green Tea Mochi 6s
Price: P120.00
Place bought: Robinsons Supermarket, Z-Square

It's been a while since I last bought these! With just a bite, my addiction towards this mochi was rekindled. You may read about my love for Royal Family Mochi here!

Del Monte Fruit Snacks Pine-Orange
Price: Approximately P20.00
Place bought: Puregold Kanlaon

Because I am trying to be healthy, I bought this as a snack! I just ate this last night, and realized that it was all pineapple and just a bit of orange. I appreciate that this didn't come in heavy syrup too. I would buy this again for the sake of convenience, for when I want to snack on fruits in the office.

Maybelline Beauty On The Go Shine-Free Foundation and Lip Balm Collection
Price: P180.00
Place bought: Robinsons Supermarket, Z-Square

I bought this set for my sisterly exchange gift with the theme of something colorful that's worth at least P100.00. This one's spot on and is a great gift suggestion for your kikay friends!

There goes my unique grocery finds! Care to share yours? :)

Love,
Helen
