Favourite Nail Polish

I wear nail polish pretty much all year - reason being is if I don't have any nailpolish on I will bite my nails. So needless to say I've tried many many many brands and colours. But my all time, absolute favourite is JOE FRESH!!!!! The colours are stunning, it applies smoothly and it has awesome staying power. It doesn't chip for a long time! I am very impressed.

Here's the thing - people might think that it's cheap since you can get 3 for $10 CAD. But the truth is that the bottles are a lot smaller than other brands you might find out there. So in reality, the price of Joe Fresh nailpolish (ml for ml) is actually the same as that of high end brands like OPI and China Glaze (Yes I did the math lol).

I love them all but my favourite colour is Coral.

Joe Fresh Beauty

I generally don't love products right away. It usually takes me a month or two for a product to grow on me or for me to re-discover it after it had been stashed away in a drawer somewhere.

Well I'm happy to report that was not the case with Joe Fresh makeup (at least the stuff I tried thus far).

The first product I got is the Light Weight Foundation. I was actually in the market for a new tinted moisturizer, and while named "foundation" I felt this would probably fit the bill. And there was no harm in trying it - it's $6! The foundation comes in 9 colours - 3 for each category of Light/Medium/Dark.

Here are the pros:

- it goes on quite smoothly and it's easy to blend (but you gotta work fast as it sets to a almost powdery finish quickly)

- the price!!!!! amazing

- the coverage: I'm not kidding when I say this works better as an undereye concealer than any other concealer I have tried to date

- the mattifying power: this sets to a matte finish - and stays that way.

Cons:

- the packaging is mediocre, and the product spills out easily if you dont hold it properly

- All 3 shades in "Light" range have pink undertones.

So overall it's a great product and worth looking into. I will definitely try a lot more from this line - it looks promising!

It's available at Fortinos/Loblaws in Canada.
