TOP Beauty : Only in Paris - Mavala Nail Polish Remove Pads

So, as you can tell from the title I am currently in Paris, and OBVIOUSLY I did a little drug store haul. Pharmacies are everywhere in Paris, actually all through Europe, just like our SaSa's in HK, but I always think Paris pharmacies has hidden gems more than anywhere in Europe.  Because I have family living in Paris, of course I asked them to take me to the ones which are the cheapest, has the most stock, and weird finds. So, my lovely cousin Ansly took me to City Pharma, which is a huge pharmacy packed with lots of people, young, old, hip, chic. you name it. I bought quite a lot there (very guilty right now) and I hope I would be good and keep posting about what I got, but here's what I tested yesterday. 

Mavala, is a nail product specialist which I heard of before from reading other beauty blogs, but what really pushed me to get these was that I was desperate to remove the all the chipped Revelon Parfumerie Winter Mint which by the way has great lasting powers, it didn't start chipping after like the 10th day of my travel. Anyways, I actually saw these in Brussels first, and they were for sale for 11 euros in one pharmacy, and 7.9 euros in XX Paris, and I finally made the move to buy it at City Pharma when it was 5 euros. Now, I know the packaging is really granny and dull, but never judge a book by it's cover right....

So inside this little pot you have thirty very thin pads, they are not massively soaking wet and what you do is you use each piece and hold it for 2 seconds or so to remove nail polish. because the winter mint was a sparkly shimmery nail polish, it took me two pads to remove all the polish on both hands. I must say when i first used it I thought it was a little weird, cause it gives out this oil, but I think this has to do with it nourishing the nails and not stripping it off like crazy - it says acetone free on the package. 

Overall, I am super impressed with this, and it's going to be great for travelling, but I will only buy it in Paris as its 5 euros here, and I think paying 7 or 11 euros for 30 removal pads is just too much. I am so going to stock up again today if I pass by city pharma again. 

and of course, what is Paris without the Eifle tower?

in case you were wondering where City Pharma is, this is the address : - 26 rue du Four

Stay on TOP - and love Paris!
