Palmolive - Aquarium - Liquid Hand Soap

When PB told me that the soap dispenser in the bathroom was broken, I knew exactly what I wanted as a replacement.
I wanted the fish soap.
I've wanted the fish soap for ages.

This bottle is designed to look like it has fish swimming in it.
There is an extra piece of plastic inside to add more depth to the visual, giving three layers to have images on.

There are a number of different designs; a dolphin, a clown fish, a dory, and a turtle.
I picked the turtle.
It also has angelfish swimming around it.

The soap itself is clear, lathers well, cleans well, and has a mild floral/fruity scent.

Once the soap is finished, I will be refilling this bottle over and over again.

It brings me joy everytime I see it.

Price: 5/5 ($2.99 for 300mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Nailtiques - Formula 2 

This is the nail strengthener that the L.A. Beast used to be able to puncture a beer can with his thumb nail.

This goes on like a nail polish and the instructions say to apply it every second day.

I love it!
My nails have never been tougher!
My c-curve has never been tighter(which I personally like).

Not me, just to illustrate what a c-curve is.

When this bottle runs out, I will definitely be repurchasing it!

Price: 2.5/5 ($19.17 for 15mL)
Scent: 0/5 (nail polish scent, don't sniff it)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Starrily - King Midas

I wanted a gold holographic nail polish.

I'm normally a silver person, but I have fond memories of gold holographic foil from childhood.

I was actually took a bit to find a good gold holo polish, but I got one!

Plus the box it came in was super cute!

This is a clear polish with a decent amount of gold holo glitter.

This nail polish is full of glitter!!
It would be easy to get an opaque coat with Cristine's nail dabbing technique.

I personally prefer a light glitter scattering over the nail.

It makes me so happy to see it each time.

This is really pretty!

Price: 2/5 ($18.95 for 15mL)
Scent: 0/5 (nail polish, don't sniff)
Effectiveness: 5/5

Pig-Nose Clear Blackhead 3-Step Kit

This is a three step kit for removing blackheads from your nose.

The first stage is a nose strip that smells and feels remarkably like a KFC moist towelette.
The scent really is dead on, cleaning lemon scent.

The second stage is a sticky nose strip that is meant to pull out the gunk from in the pores.
It doesn't set firm enough to do this efficiently and it pulled out virtually nothing.

The last stage is a gelatinous nose mask that is mostly pointless.

Save your time and money, just get Biore strips!


Price: 5/5 ($3.41 for one kit)
Scent: 3/5
