Twist & Out - Instant nail polish remover.

Hey Girlies,

I've been seeing the bourjois nail polish remover thing everywhere on the blogisphere, but i usually just use paton's nail polish remover in either the liquid or the pads and i've been using it for years, absolute years and it's still only 69p absolute bargain if you ask me.
But i was up the street a few days back and decided to go a wander around my local Poundland.... and i found this wee beaut.  "Twist & Out" nail polish remover, and the tub is really similar to that of Bourjois, so i thought well for only £1 i'm not losing anything if it's crap and to be honest i did expect it to be absolute nonsense.
However it is not, it's actually really good!

So it looks like this.

It's pretty similar all round to the Bourjois one, it's the same size and does the same thing really.  Inside there is a sponge with a little slit and you push your finger in and twist until all the nail polish is removed, it is literally that simple.  It's genuis why has no-one came up with it sooner.  It saves the mess of using cotton pads etc, and to be honest it doesn't smell horrendous either and youf fingers don't drip or anything once you remove them from the sponge if anything they are dry in an instant.  Once your finished you just pop the lid back down and put it away.  It does work, and it's not at all difficult to use, i'd fefinitely recommend it to anyone, especially good when you are in a hurry.

This is how it worked:

Painted nails. ^

Dip in and twist, one finger at a time. ^

Ta Dah....All polish gone. ^
 
Defo worth a purchase girls, specially at £1 and especially if you change your nail polish a lot, saves you time, hassel and mess!
 
Little Gem :)

Haul

Hey Girlies,

So i popped into town yesterday to pick a few wee things that i needed, nothing major just bits and bobs.  So here's a wee swatch at what i got :)



I Always go through so many hankies, specially when i have the cold so i don't bother with buying really expensive ones, so i always just pick up a wee box every time that i am in poundland. So this was the me2u range and you get 60 3 ply tissues for £1 and the box is cute. 


This is something i always need, and i think personally plasters are quite expensive to buy and you only get like 20, so i found this in poundland.  I think this is a much better thing to use as you can cut it to your own and use as much as you need, and i use so many plasters for loads of things so this works for me and lasts me quite a while and for only £1 it's a bargain really.


I needed some new candles for when i'm just chilling or in the bath and these one are easier because they in a little jar and they hold the flame longer and don't blow out as easy.  This one is spring blossom scented and it smells really lovely and summery and it was reduced to 75p, you can pick them up in Primark.


I picked this candle up too while i was there as these were the only two scents available.  This one is Sweet Vanilla and smells just lovely.  Again it was only 75p you can pick them up for Primark.


Nail polish remover is something i always need, so i always keep it stocked up incase i run out of the pads that i usually use.  I have been using this nail polish remover for absolute years and wouldn't go past it, i now usually use the pads version but i like to have a bottle spare incase i run out.  It's only available in Bodycare for 69p. Bargain as it lasts ages!.


This is a leave in conditioner from Boot's own range and is sweet almond and cocount and smells lovely.  I've run out of my Aussie one and this is just an alternative until the Aussie comes on deals again.  It was £1.39 for this one.


These were a total random buy.  As i found them on the clearance rack in Boots, and to be honest i haven't even heard of the range so i was intrigued.  They are rich body lotions and they smell just lovely, so i got them since winter is coming in and i sometimes find my skin dries out easily so these will come in handy for that.  These ones are Cranberry and Avacado scented and they smell lovely there is also a yellow version but i didn't like the smell haha.  These retail at £4.99 a bottle (250ml) but i picked them up for £1.24 Bargain :)






That was my little haul this time, good few wee bargains and i got everything for under £10.

Beauty Haul

Hey Lovelies,

So i bought some new beauty stuff in the last week there mostly because it was all on offer, so here's a wee quick swatch at what i got.

Firstly I stopped off at Boots to pick up some stuff, and most of what i got was on offer.

So the visibly clear Pink Grapefruit microclear stuff was on 2 for £5 so I decided to try the cream wash and there was one of the oil free mositurisers left so ipicked that up too, as i already have the scrub face wash.  The fact that were on 2 for £5 was a pretty good deal as usually they are about £5 each so i saved a good bit by buying them on the deal.  Once i try them out i'll get a wee review done on them.


Next up i picked up the Johnsons face care night cream, i had been needing this for ages, but it was £5 just for one tub and i usualy wait until the deal is on so i can get 2 for £5, but i had been waiting ages and the deal was never on so i gave up and was all set to just go pay £5 for it as i still had a spare tub of the day cream, But low and behold my day got better, when i went into boots, there was a reduction on the night creams from £5 to £2.43 Woohooo!! only thing was there was only 1 but stuff it one would do for now so i grabbed it.  I've been using this moisturiser for a good while now and it works for me but i always buy the one for dry skin just so my skin gets the moisture it needs. Bargain.





Next up in Boots i got some Champneys stuff as i needed a new body wash, and i got a wee bubble bath just because it's lovely.  The champneys deal was on 3 for 2 which is amazing.  So i picked up 1 shower gel, and 2 bubble baths.


I love the champneys products, especially this Oriental Opulence range, smells absolutely devine.  Anyway i've already done a review on the bubble bath so you can check them out Here.

Next up from boots i picked up some new facemasks.  I usually always stick to the Mudd facemask, as i've tried some of the other ones but they just break my skin right out which is not desireable.  So I actually wanted to purchase the larger pack of the Mudd but there was none so instead i picked up 3 of the individual picks, as i get two uses from each packet, maybe because i'm just stingy i don't know.





Next up i needed some new face powder, and i was hoping there would be a deal on but there wasn't so i only got what i needed.  I always use the Rimmel stay matte powder in Translucent and it works for me.  It was £3.99 which really isn't that bad.

that was all i bought in Boots then just before i went to pay i thought i would go and have a quick little look at the clearance rack and i found some goodies!!
I got some Trevor Sorbie items for an absolute bargain price.



 The green bottle is Trevor Sorbie beautifylly moisturised super smoother, i think this is now out of shops as the guy said what i got was just what was left of the old stock so i think a new range is out now.
The pink one was a heat defence spray.

They are usualy about £4/5 each but i got the Green/blue bottle for 65p and the pink for 50p honestly couldn't believe my luck! Bargain.

so i got all that was left, i got 3 of the blue/green bottles and 4 of the pink. i got them all for like £6 instead of £20 hello super savers!!

That was my boots haul.

Next up i had a wee visit to the pound shop where i got some moisturiser and some cotton buds and some new face pads.



cotton buds i use for lots of thing so i always just pick them up.
The moisturiser i got because it was a good size for £1 and it smells lovely, plus it's just to put on when i get out the bath and sometimes palmers is getting quite expensive.

The Aapril pads were a random purchase, as they are little cotton face pads with a normal smooth side and a textured side, i use them for my face wash sometimes instead of my exfoliating sponge as i find it a bit harsh to use everyday.
My last 4 purchases were some random little things.
First up some earrings from Primark, random buy but they were only 50p
i thought they were cute and i am not uually one for dangly earrings but i like that they have the stud then the dangly bit and for 50p i thought why the hell not.

Onto Bodycare where i then  got some kirby grips because well a girl can never have enough, i honestly don't know where my kirby grips go, one minute i have a drawer full then the next minute i can't even find one.  these were only 85p so i snapped them up and will get more soon.


 I also picked up some nail polish remover pads as they are just so easy and quick and for £1 bargain, these were also from bodycare


And last up a little MUA purchase from Superdrug, i had seen everyone going about MUA on my blog then my best friend over at the Style Khalessi got some and said it was all good for £1 so i decided to go and give it a try out, but there wasn't much left so i just got one lipstick to try. It is in shade 3 and looks to be a nice vibrant pink



that was my little haul, i shall review once i have used each item.
