Quickie Review: ELF Zit Zapper & Nail Polish in Smoky Brown

>> Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Hey loves,

Id thought I do a quick review on two items that Iv'e been loving this week: ELF's zit zapper and nail polish in Smoky Brown.

I love this! Ive been having tiny break outs for the past couple days so before I go to bed after Ive washed up Ive been applying a thin layer of this stuff. Now this isnt a miracle zapper but I will say that the very next morning after my first application my pimples were  visibly smaller and most of them not even noticeable!

At first I doubted this would work at all b/c of the price but I bought it anyway because it had tea tree oil in it. Why tea tree oil? Because I get attacked on a regular basis with cystic pimples and tea tree oil is just about the ONLY thing that helps.

Cystic pimples, for those who dont know, are the annoying pimples that lay under the skin. You cant pop em (you shouldnt anyway), and it seems they only get larger and more red as time goes by. I was starting to get one on the side of my nose last night so I used the zit zapper on it and when I woke up, the pimple was virtually gone! No swelling, no redness. I could feel a tiny eenie meenie bump (a bump that cannot be seen to the naked eye) but nothing underneath the skin

One thing to note is that is has somewhat of a strong medicated smell but rest assured the smell does not linger on the skin

Im already planning on buying backups, at $1 its worth a try to those who havent tried it already. I included the link to purchase above...if its written in pink, then its a link! :)

This brand nail polish is one of my favorite brands, not only because its free of Toluene, Formaldehyde, and Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), but because its fast drying. Sometimes you can get bad batches of ELF's nail polish where the color appears cracked and/or unmixed but after a little bottle shaking the color will still apply nice and even...buy hey this is dollar nail polish so I guess you get what you pay for. Im no nail-polish connoisseur, the only thing I care about is that the color is nice and its fast drying so if you're really into polishes I would do some research on this brand. Again, at a dollar, its worth trying

Here's a pic I took for my twitter yesterday using this polish. My nails are a bit uneven due to fake nails I got awhile back (which I will NEVER do again!) so this polish is used over a strengthening base coat and NO top coat

 

If you want to buy any polish from ELF's website (or anything with for that matter) I will tell you that the colors in real life DO NOT match the colors on the website. I have a million polishes and other makeup from ELF so let me know what color you're interested but may be hesitant in buying and Ill be more than happy to do a review or send you a pic of them :)
