Solvent baths for the feet:pipeau or not?

How does a foot remover look like?

Either way, it's an upgraded version of the classic dissolving bath. So we have the little pot with the foam inside, with holes, in which we dip the finger to remove make-up. In addition, there is a foam part on the cap to be able to remove the varnish on the feet.

At Bourjois, the foam part of the cork is flat, like a cotton ball soaked in solvent (provided you shake the jar well before opening it).

At Sephora, the foam part of the cap is deeper:as with the hand, you can push your toe into the foam to remove the varnish by turning the cap.

Is a foot remover bath more convenient than our regular cotton pad and remover?

Yes ! The foam is always soaked, in one pass the varnish is removed. Now you can do everything (hands and feet) with the same solvent bath, it's even better!

On the other hand, depending on your use, the foam ages more or less quickly and for someone who changes nail polish every 2-3 days, in a month, the remover is filled with varnish pigments and is no longer effective. It must therefore be changed regularly.

Which one do we prefer at Biba?

Hard to choose! On the practical side, we prefer the one from Sephora:it covers the entire nail well and removes nail polish faster. Regarding the formulation of the nail polish remover, we prefer the Bourjois:it is enriched with sweet almond oil which nourishes the nails well and to top it off, is scented with red fruits and vanilla. It therefore leaves a discreet but pleasant smell on our hands.
