ELF Nourishing Cuticle Pen Review

I have a very bad case of cuticle picking as they are always dry, flaky, and keep giving up on me. More than that it's like an addiction to me, I pick my cuticles whenever I'm bored, happy, nervous, you name it! I know it's a bad habit but I can't help it. So to solve this problem of mine I thought I'd give my cuticles some nourishment. I saw this cuticle pen on the ELF website and I had to give it a try.

It came in this clear packaging like most products from the ELF Essential line. And like all ELF products the directions, claims, ingredients, etc., are clearly given on the back.


I must say the cuticle oil in a pen idea is very creative and unique. It looks like a marker and has a felt tip like a marker.


At first, when I saw it, I didn't feel like it would do much, and frankly, I wasn't really sold on the whole felt tip cuticle pen thing but still, it was a $, and I wanted to give it a try. The felt tip, however, is what makes the application easy and precise, and it can also be used as a cuticle pusher. It's easy to get it into all the cracks and hollows. It's also very convenient to use on the nails. The tip is a little hard when you first use it but it gets better with usage and you do not have to press it hard to get the oil out so it's not rough on your cuticles. I have been using it for 3 weeks now and it seriously reduced my habit of cuticle picking from 3 times a week to once in 3 weeks. Now it's definitely no miracle worker but it does keep my cuticles from drying and flaking when used continuously, like at least 2-3 times a day. Also, they are right about it being quick-dry and with no mess. It gets absorbed fast and it doesn't feel greasy at all. It also doesn't have any significant scent. And what's more, it's very convenient to carry it around in your purse and use it wherever and whenever possible.

I feel good knowing that it has all the good and nutritious stuff like Almond, Avocado oils, Grape Seed Oil, Vitamins E, A, and C, Pro-Vitamin B5, and Aloe. My nails/cuticles are definitely looking better. I can't really think of any major issues I had with this product and considering it's only a dollar it's a pretty good product.

I recommend this to anyone facing dry cuticle problems like me and who needs a quick fix that doesn't cost much. You should definitely give this a try. This is my first cuticle pen, actually, this is my first cuticle anything, I never used anything specially for my cuticles before this. I'll repurchase this in case I don't find anything better. I don't know how much product you'll be getting coz it's not mentioned anywhere on the packaging or the product. But I'm sure it should last for a pretty good time. I bought mine on eyeslipsface.com but you can buy ELF products at Target too.

I hope the review helped you in making a choice.

Top 12 Things to Buy from Kruidvat own Brand

 We've been seeing inflation here in the Netherlands since October last year. It's just plain ridiculous to see something that I paid 5 euros for a few months back is now around 7 euros or maybe more. That doesn't sound like a lot but when you buy about 50 things (food, groceries, toiletries, etc.) for your house, it all adds up and overall you are paying 50 to 100 euros more than what you were paying previously. But unfortunately, not a lot of us have seen this increase in our pay and many people have even lost jobs during and after the covid crisis. So it's only natural for us to want to save our money wherever we can. But that said we also do not want to compromise on quality. And that is where the idea for this post comes from. Kruidvat is a drugstore that is similar to CVS/Walgreens in the US. Products sold here are mostly hygiene products, cleaning supplies, makeup, and over-the-counter medicines. I have been shopping here for hygiene products for years. By now I ...

15 Must Watch Chinese Youth Dramas That are Artistic Masterpieces

I stopped watching youth dramas (dramas usually set in high school/college backdrop) over a year ago since I felt like I was getting too old for these. I find most of them quite juvenile like I am watching the Disney channel. However, before I completely stopped, I tried watching more than 30 popular youth dramas and I had to drop most of them because they were just too mediocre, with bad writing, and bad acting/editing. But I also found some gems that were just too good and should not be missed by anyone, doesn't matter how old you are. These dramas have something more than just being a funny/silly high school/college drama. They have some kind of an x-factor to them that makes them quite unique in my opinion. Be it the story, the casting, the cinematography, the costumes, the locations/settings, etc. all together create a magical on-screen experience that I have not found in the other youth dramas that I have seen. Listed below are my top picks from the Chinese youth drama genre ...

Wet n Wild Megalast Salon Nail Color 218A I Need A Refresh-Mint Review and Swatches

OK, let me just start off by saying something totally unrelated,  Pinterest  is so friggin addictive!!! The reason why I've not posted yet this week is coz I've been there all the time pinning this, pinning that, pinning almost everything that could possibly be pinned online. I know, I have a problem here, so I decided not to pin too much today and do a blog post instead. My first Wet n Wild mega last Nail Color was in the shade I Need A Refresh-Mint. And the packaging was one of the reasons. The back of the bottle clearly shows the shade name and the ingredients on a peel-open sticker. There's the logo of the company embossed on the other two sides. The top shows us that they have introduced a ManiCurve Pro Brush which I must say is very impressive. Looks very chic, sturdy, and promising for a product that is so inexpensive. The brush is mostly compared to the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes but I never tried those so I cannot compare. I really love this...
