Elf Nail Polish Giveaway

This is me wearing champagne and glitter madness. I painted all my nails with champagne firstly and then instead of using a clear top coat I used glitter madness instead. This lasted a really long time and I loved it. Thank you elf.

My Skin Care Routine


To take off my makeup I use two different products depending on how much makeup I have on. If I haven’t got that much makeup on I will use my Dirty Works cleansing wipes but if I’ve got quite a bit on then I will use the Garnier makeup remover.

Then I use the Simple facial toner. I just put some onto a cotton pad a rub it into my face. I love the Simple range as the products don’t have any smell to them. I don’t have sensitive skin but I don’t like strong smelling face products.

 Next I use the Simple light moisturiser this is a great moisturiser for summer as it is so light and doesn’t sit heavily on your skin. However if I have quite a few spots I will use the Clean and Clear moisturiser as it combats spots and blemishes.

I use the Simple face wash and I love it. It is meant to help fight spots and I am really pleased with this. You only use this once a day so I only use it in the morning but the above products apart from the makeup remover I use in the morning and at night.

Next I use the My Skin face scrub to exfoliate my skin. This product is not meant to be used daily I use it once or twice a week. I really like the My Skin range because it is specifically aimed at young skin so it is really good for my skin.

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover Review

This the product that has taken the beauty world by storm. It has only just arrived in my Superdrug and I know you will have already seen posts about this but I still wanted to review it for you.

This is what Bourjois says:
Magic in a pot!
Nail polish is instantly removed with the touch of a magic wand!
For each nail, simply Dip-Twist-Remove in 1 second without any cotton wool.
Your nails will be polish-free in just 1 second*!
Plus, its red berry and vanilla fragrance leaves nails delicately scented.
And…it’s good for my nails!
- Acetone-free formula - gentle on nails and cuticles
- Enriched with nourishing sweet almond oil
- Paraben-free
- Dermatologically tested 

This is what I think
It takes a little bit longer than a second but that is to be expected. It does however cut down the time that it used to take to remove nail polish. Plus you don't need to worry about using lots of cotton pads. It is easy to use all you do is dip your finger into the hole and twist the bottle. I bought this from my local Superdrug for £4.99 and it was the last one in stock. I know that this is like gold dust and they have been sold out in many stores. However there are a few downsides to this product the bottle is only 75ml and I'm not sure how long it is going to last. The biggest downside is the smell it is really overpowering and could quite easily give people headaches. Overall I think that this is a great product and I   definitely recommend this to anyone who paints there nails a lot and hates having to take it off.

The results

Before
After

As you can see it didn't remove all of the polish the first time but after another twist it all came off.

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover

Just to let you guys know I was lucky enough to be able to buy one of these as they are selling like hot cakes. I went into my local Boots the other week and they didn't have it :( This weekend I went into my local Superdrug to get some bits and bobs and as I was walking to the till I saw that they had it in stock. I was surprised as I thought it was exclusive to Boots. It was the last one so I got it. I'm going to do a blog post reviewing it and that will be up later this week.
