Review–ANEX Hair Dryer TS-7011

Hello All, its winter so I m sure none of you likes to go out with wet hair as the chilly wind directly hits your head and u can feel sick because of that. I personally don’t use hair dryer very regularly during summers and its kind of used only on functions n events etc. however, in winters I am quite a regular user of a hair dryer because I reallllyy cant walk around with wet hair these days.

I originally had a hair dryer from Remington which my aunt gifted me from UK and it was working quite well with me; however I accidentally dropped that and it got broken so I had to buy a new hair dryer. now since I had an option to buy a new one myself I had options in brands, colors, heat degrees, fan settings etc. and my sister bought me this hair dryer which I chose for myself.

The first thing obviously that attracted me was its color, its very melo and very girly. I had compared it with other hair dryers in the shop which were Remington, Braun, Panasonic turbo dry and others. however following are the reasons I chose this one:

  • Its color was attractive
  • Braun & remington were heavily professional looking and I personally thought they were not meant for single person use. they were expensive as well obviously & normally many models of these companies came with extra attachments which I didn’t need.
  • It has better throw of air than the panasonic turbo dry
  • It has two air speed settings, 1 & 2.
  • It also has a fan button which changes the hot air to cool air. So technically I have 4 air settings, 2 with hot setting and 2 with cool
  • It is foldable. As I tend to travel a lot, so I want something easily portable and this serves my purpose.
  • Another thing which is good about this hair dryer is that it automatically turns itself off in case its used for a long time and then saves the hair dryer from fusing. I didn’t know this thing when I bought it but I like this feature because many hair dryers get fused while being used and this one has precaution built into it.

Following are some of its pictures with folded and non folded handle:

The air settings area is shown below. the fan button when pressed gives cool air instead of hot.

My sister purchased it for me for PKR 2100/- from an electronics shop in Murree Road Rawalpindi. As of now I am very happy with this product and I use it almost daily. I totally recommend it to people and I think it’s a good value for money.

Review - Pretty Perfect Twist and Out Instant Nail Polish Remover

Removing a nail color is kind of a fuss for all of us. With people like me who are very fond of nail colors its almost a daily routine, everyone wishes it could be simpler or easier than they traditional way. So here it is, a nail polish remover with all the zip zap effect of a quick nail polish remover MINUS all the fussy activities you have to do. Its Pretty Perfect Twist and Out Instant Nail Polish Remover.

I have always been fond of Etude Nail Polish remover and it has been working quite well for my nails for years now. However, recently i couldnt find it anywhere in the market and had to switch to something else. I personally couldnt trust any other brand so i opted for OPI considering its huge market share and popularity. The nail polish remover was fine enough to remove nail color but it left my nails and cuticles quite dry so I was still not happy with it. I went to the market and asked for a nail polish remover which is good enough but doesnt dry out your skin. And the sales girl handed this over to me. I had ordered Pretty Quik Instant Nail Polish Remover in the past from UK and it cost me above 1000 PKR when i included shipping. Plus, they didnt deliver to Pak so I had to have it delivered to a friend's place in UK and she sent me when someone was coming to Pak; so it was quite a hassle for me LOL. So I was not quite sure how much this specific nail polish remover by Pretty Perfect will cost me. But to my surprise, the price was ONLY 175 PKR.

Following are some pictures showing the process of removing the nail color using this remover:

Here are my nails with nail color:

And finally this is how it looks after doing all the nails (Please note that I did the nail polish removal and the pictures in TOTAL darkness due to load shedding so I could not see the nail color near the cuticles until I took the pictures and saw them on my phone :P)

After clearing out the cuticles to a bit; here is the final look:

I bought it from D. Watson Blue Area Islamabad and tried it. It was as good as a traditional nail polish remover and I am quite Happy with its purchase. Plus the price is less than both etude and OPI :P

The Good Things:

  • Price - Not too much costly
  • Quick - its very quick
  • Easy
  • Doesnt dry out your skin or nails
  • Portable

The Bad Things:

  • After many uses the nail color may start accumulating in your nails and you might have to be very careful while using this product. However it happens ONLY after many uses and also if you have very dark nail polishes on.
Overall, I am very happy with this product and I am thinking of buying it again.
Have any of you used this one before? If yes, how was your experience? Please share :)
