Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover Review

Removes nail polish but takes so long!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Okay so I recently received my Superdrug order where there was an offer of 3 for 2 on the Bourjois range and a free product which is this full size nail polish remover. I've always wanted to test out nail polish remover posts but never really found it on the top of my Beautea product wish-list but I'm glad that I received it free and got to try it out. 

Pros:

----NO pros!----

Cons:

1. Flimsy sponge

2. Strong smelling solution

3. Takes a lot of time to remove nail polish 

The main selling point of this product is the easier way of removing nail polish without using cotton wool etc, however the sponge is not attached to the plastic pot so when the product is being used the sponge is moving around so its not removing all the product which takes longer to remove nail polish. 

The marketing approach of the product states that 'the product' removes nail polish in 1 sec per nail however after I tried this technique I found that I still had nail polish visible on the nail. Also I had one coat of nail polish one on both occasions - it will be harder to removed nail polish with this product if you have on more that one coat.  

Another thing that I could not stand with this product was the strong smell which nauseated me! I hate polish removers which smell awful. I've always used the Cutex nail  polish remover 100ml for £1.59 at Superdug (review for Cutex will be up soon). 

I tried this product twice but I wouldn't personally purchase this specific nail polish remover primarily because of the flimsy sponge which does not effectively remove ALL nail polish.

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder dupe.

Bourjois Healthy Balance Unifying Powder - £8.99 at Superdrug

Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder - £33.99 at Charlottetilbury.com

Recently I discovered the amazing range of base products that Bourjois have to offer. I placed an order for the Healthy Mix Serum foundation, Healthy Mix concealer and the Healthy Balance powder within that range.

I will posting a separate post review of the foundation and concealer tomorrow night. But for now, I've tested both products which are as consistent and of quality and they both do the same exact thing. 

Both products are for setting in the foundation or highlight (dupe for Ben Nye powder will also be up soon). Personally I love using this product at the end to set it all in and it's the only powder I use, I feel that too many powders makes your makeup look very cakey and no one wants that for summer or any time of the year. 

The only difference is the price and the packaging. I will definitely be sticking to the Healthy Balance powder and try out more high end products to find drugstore and affordable dupes. 

Leave a comment below if you've tried either of the powders and if you want more dupe posts.

Hi guys! Its been a long time since I posted on the blog which I do apologise for but with a busy university schedule and work commitments I was bogged down. However I am making a MAJOR comeback with yet another Bargain!!!

Garnier Micellar Water Review

So recently I picked up the much raved about 'Garnier Micellar Water' (400ml) at Superdrug for £4.99. Previously I have used the Nivea cleansing water which did give me breakouts and didn't control the shine on my skin. After seeing EVERY blogger rave about the Garnier Micellar water I thought I'd give it a try too.

My first thoughts of this product were good, the water cleansed my face without stripping the shine and drying up my face and also controlled my breakouts. However, it says on the back on the bottle 'no rubbing', when I remove my eye make up, I dampen the eye for 30-50 seconds but I still have to rub as the Micellar water does not remove all makeup and dirt. After using this I go in with my Body Shop Seaweed cleanser on a cotton pad to pick up anything that the Micellar water left behind.

Overall I do think it's s great product and I would purchase it again purely as it respects the natural oils on your face and prevents breakouts.

If you have this product or recently purchased it, let me know below what you think of it and whether it's helped your skin. 

Thank you reading my lovelies. See you in the next post. X
