NOTW: ColorTrends in Spotted!

Just this afternoon, I found some cheap items at the mall while I was chillin' out (read more HERE), and one of those items is this ColorTrends Nail Polish in Spotted!. Judging by the bottle, I was expecting it was the same shade as Caronia's On The Go, but when I actually wore it, it wasn't. But still, I kinda like how it turned out. It still has that summer-ish, beachy vibes that I want. Maybe it's the seafoam green shade that makes it feel like the beach. 

Still like it!

So here are some photos:

SHORT REVIEW:

WHAT I LIKE

• Easy application. It goes over smoothly in thin layers, hence making it dry quicker.
• Pretty pigmented. It goes opaque in two coats, though I make three coats to make sure it doesn't wear off easily.
• REALLY AFFORDABLE! For just P18, you could buy a whole lot of different shades!

WHAT I DON'T LIKE

• It doesn't have a list of ingredients/chemicals at the back. I always look for those. (but I saw it came from the makers of Chic, so I still bought it)
• Few choices of colors. Well, I don't know if they just have a really small variety of colors, or Mercury Drug just doesn't stock enough.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

The pigment is nice, easy application, and really affordable. I've used two polishes from this brand already, and so far, they're safe for my nails. I would definitely repurchase.

Cheap Finds

This morning, I did my routine for this Summer: attended my class at the Summer Kindergarten Program at New Era University. I was supposed to be the kids' teacher, but due to a lot of things I took care of for myself (acads, family matters, and stuff), another teacher was assigned for them and I became his assistant, a.k.a. the kids' babysitter. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. In fact, I love tending to the kids. In just a few weeks, I've become really close to them already. It warms my heart when I see them getting excited when they see me; when they come to me and proudly show me their works; when they hug me, and compete on who's gonna sit on my lap... all those little things that only little kids could give you. :)

(I'll tell you more about the Summer Kindergarten Program in a separate post)

Moving on, as I was saying earlier, I did my routine for this summer which was to tend to the kids at the SKP. Afterwards, I out-of-the-blue decided to go to TriNoma and The Block to just chill out. My guy friend gladly came with me. While walking around, I found these really cheap finds. 

Really needed some new flip-flops; all my old ones are now bound to see Payatas. So when I saw this nice & neat pair of white flip-flops which looked really cool for Summer (though it's soon ending), I bought them!

Bought these cute flip-flops @ Human for just P100!

I've been looking for the perfect nude shade for my nails. I was looking for the one from Bobbie which I saw a couple of months ago, but I couldn't find it anymore! I've also been wanting to buy Caronia's On the Go, but I couldn't find it anywhere, either. Then, I saw these cute mini bottles at one side of the rack, and look! The shades I've been looking for! PLUS, they're really cheap! One 6mL bottle costs P18. Yes, just 18 pesos! And by the way, it comes from the makers of Chic nail polish.

ColorTrends 117 & ColorTrends Spotted!

I've already tried the Nude shade, AND I REALLY LOVE IT! I think it's the perfect nude shade for my nails that would complement my skin tone. No need to find that Nude Bobbie polish! Heehee. For Spotted! though, I'm not quite satisfied. I like it, but I still want to get On the Go; I still like it better.

I'd be writing NOTW posts for these items soon. They're good products, I swear. :)

Well, i guess that's all to this post! Really nice to find cheap buys every once in a while, yes? :)
How about you, do you know of some great but affordable products, too?
SHARE! I'd be glad to check them out! :D

Love lots,
