QUIX FX NO-SHINE MATTIFIER Review

Hello there! This review will be on Quick fx no shine mattifier. This is branded as one of the cheapest primers out there in the market. 

I read so many good reviews about this product so I want to put it to the test.

I have combination skin and i usually oil up around the nose and forehead area.

​PRICE:

I bought it at Watsons for 89 pesos.

CLAIMS:

PACKAGING:

I love how this sachet comes with a resealable cap because, it's not messy and it's very travel friendly.

​APPLICATION:

This comes in a gel like form similar to Maybelline Pore Eraser. It has a velvety feel and it makes your skin matte, super soft, and smooth to the touch upon application.

LONGEVITY:

I applied the Quick FX no shine mattifier on the right side of my face (Left side of the photo) and used a tinted moisturizer all over the face. Makeup holds well on top of the product. 

Both sides are still matte after 1 hr of application.

AFTER 5 HOURS...

With Quick FX    VS    Without Quick FX

The side with Quick fx is a bit oily but there is no visible shine unlike the right side of the photo(without Quick fx). 

With      VS     Without
After 5 hours
Almost same amount of oil was taken from both sides of the face. Oil control only lasted up to 4 hours

As for controlling oil, it did made my skin oil up less which is okay but, honestly, i was expecting to still be matte after five hours. haha

AFTER 8 HOURS...

Makeup on the face (especially forehead) is entirely gone. The concealer, blush and eye shadow is still there. I am definitely oily on both sides of my face. By this time, the effect of the quick fx is gone. 

FINAL VERDICT:

• Its good at controlling oil for 2-4 hours max especially if you sweat a lot and has oily skin.
• As primer, makeup did last longer but the full effect will only last for 4-5 hours.
• I tried it over makeup but, instead of making me matte and erase my pores, it just moved my tinted moisturizer around making the area cakey.

My makeup did last a bit longer and my skin oiled up less so I would still use it daily. It did not live up to my expectation to make my face matte all day. I would suggest giving it try yourself to see the effect with your skin type.

​

Overall, it is an okay product and I would rate this product 4 out of 5

OMG One Dip Instant Nail Lacquer Remover Review

When I first saw this at an OMG stall, I literally said "OMG" hahaha. I was blown away by the concept of just dipping your fingers to remove nail polish probably because I am super lazy. 

PRICE:

I bought this at an OMG stand at my local bazaar for 50 pesos. (I don't know if this is the actual price or if it was on sale)

CLAIMS:

• 0% drying
• 0% acetone
• 0% smearing.
• safe
• No more cotton and acetone
• Faster than acetone-based formula

HOW TO USE:

Simply dip each finger into the pot, and twist into the pre-soaked sponge

There is a sponge soaked in solution inside.

You push each finger inside and twist the bottle to soak the nail in solution and rub the dissolved nail polish onto the sponge.

PERFORMANCE:

BEFORE
I painted my nails with different brands (Sassy colors, Rain, Chic)
and different colors to see if it affects the process differently

AFTER
After using the product. No white residue and left my nails clean and dry.

It removes light colors easily. no trace of nail polish was left on my nails.
It took me only five to six twist of the bottle to fully remove the nail polish.

As for darker colors, there is a little bit left on the sides of my nails. (Hard to reach areas)
What i suggest you do, is get the nail thoroughly soaked in the solution first, wait a few second for the product to dissolve it, then twist making sure you get all parts of your nails rubbed against the sponge.

PROS:

• No white residue after removal
• fast
• easy to use
• removes nail polish instantly
• No messy and dirty cotton balls
• lasts long. Its is resealable so you can use it again and again
• Fun to use

CONS:

• You have to create your own technique in getting the sides of the nails thoroughly clean.
• Very bulky. It is not travel sized
• strong chemical scent

FINAL VERDICT:

This is a good product because it is faster and easier to remove the nail polish and this does not leave any white residue on the nails. My tip is to find  a technique to get those hard to reach ares. Try it out and see how it will work for you.

Overall I rate this 4 out of 5
