Hiya!
There's no more Eras Tour at the moment, sadly, but that give me more time to focus on self-care and... nail care?

That's right, this weeks is all about the nails that are so often taken for granted! But they do so much, so it's only fair to give them some extra TLC every now and again. As you can see, most of the products we will be testing out today are nail products, mostly nail polish removers (since I use a toooon of nail polishes), but also a nail conditioner to care for the nails after all that rubbing trying to remove stubborn nail polishes.
I like to try new and interesting stuff, so that's why I decided to try out the nail polish remover pads and the nail treatment. I figured that, without trying them, I would never know how good/bad they really are, and, besides, they weren't expensive, so I felt like experimenting. Removing nail polishes twice a week can take a toll on my nails, and they can become brittle and their surface often becomes uneven. Never mind the vertical ridging that seems to have become worse the older I am getting. So I think I'm a good candidate to see results with this conditioner.
The bath salts I already reviewed (in brief) before. So, instead of repeating myself, I will just link the review here!

Now, the last remaining item on the list is the Balea You Are Sweet Like Melon! shower scrub. Aw, thanks ~so sweet, then I get a little angry, yeah~! I didn't buy this randomly; I need scrubs because my shaving doesn't feel as close or clean if I don't exfoliate my legs beforehand. I use them twice a week, so, as you can imagine, I go through them pretty quickly - thus, this shower scrub! And it, apparently, also smells like the juiciest watermelons - how delicious is that?? This should hit the spot during the sweltering summer evenings... right? Well, yes and no. It does smell like real watermelons but there is a backdrop of something synthetic and plasticy. But that's not what bothers me, it's the fact that the scrub particles are just not abrasive enough. It feels gentle on the skin, only slightly scratchy, which is not nearly enough to actually slough off dead skin cells. So what's the point, in the end? It doesn't really hydrate the skin, nor does it ensure that the skin is a perfectly even surface for shaving. It just feels pointless, unfortunately. Yeah... I'll go back to my trusty ol' Organic Shop scrubs...
Now, the items for today:
See you soon!
