Photo Review: Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover

19 June 2012

Thumbs up

  • Pretty bottle
  • Practical (especially for travelling)
  • Removes polish with ease and little effort
  • Leaves a delicious smell on the nails

Thumbs down

  • Doesn’t do what it says on the label; it took me at least 3 seconds per nail.
  • Pricey for the amount of product you get; I’ve heard there are lots of cheaper dupes around!

Let me know if you want to see more of these ‘Photo Reviews’. I was thinking I could do this for products that you can find plenty of written reviews out there, but not as many clear pictures :)

  • Product: Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover 75ml
  • Availability: Boots | ASOS
  • Price: £4.99

Au revoir!

    I’m very envious of your nails!

    This looks like a pretty good product, I use Nailene Artificial Nail & Polish Remover which is a similar style pot that I just refill with pure Acetone (I think my Mum picked this up from Tesco not so long ago) and it’s pretty good! Not a sponge in the middle more like rubber bristles so it’s brilliant for removing glitter polishes as well as normal ones x

    It looks useful! Usually it’s such a pain for me to use my average nail polish remover xD

    I’ve stayed away from this product simply because of the price, but could this be re-filled with polish remover and act the same? Or does Bourjois use a special extra strength formula to make it work that fast?

    Thank you, Sarah! :)

    Wow, never heard of the Nailene one. I haven’t tried the Bourjois one for glitter polish, but I’m tempted to give the one you suggested a try :) Also, it would be a good idea to refill the Bourjois bottle with conventional polish remover rather than buying bottle after bottle!

    I know, I’m the same! Just the thought of removing nail polish makes me want to leave them pn my nails until they chip off completely. Not anymore, though :) xx

    That’s a very good question, Alice. I’ll look into that and get back to you :) I suppose you can use any nail polish remover you want to refill the bottle. My guess is the sponge does most of the work! :) xx

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
