Bourjois Bargain!

Hello my lovely blog readers!

I have not done a product review for a while and popped into Superdrugs today casually looking for nail varnish remover and to pick up a new foundation as mine is running low.  I noticed that there was a buy one get one half price offer on Bourjois products, after having read some reviews on the Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum I decided to give that a try (I will review that once I've had a chance to try it out) and then I saw this...


I've only used it once so I'm not sure how long the product actually lasts but if it lasts me a little while it was worth it! The idea is that you dip your fingertip into the bottle which has a nail varnish remover soaked sponge inside.  It literally demolishes nail varnish from simply dipping your fingertip into the sponge, it is so quick and immaculate I couldn't believe it.  The remover itself is acetone free and actually smells fruity! My cuticles looked conditioned which I believe could be down to the almond oil in the product. I am absolutely in love!! I hope it lasts me a while as if it does this little bottle will become a staple buy for me. Thanks to the Superdrugs special offer I got both the foundation serum and nail varnish remover for £12 - bargain in my opinion seeing as my usual Revlon colourstay foundation is £12 on it's own!

Has anyone else tried this? Would love to hear your views! x

Stay and Play

So I took my little one to a stay and play session this week and she absolutely loved it! I had heard about these sessions when I took my bubs to be weighed but had not attended previously as they were always scheduled for nap time! Luckily for us the new timetable was better suited to my little lady's routine.

The sessions are free to attend and I think they are a fantastic way for youngters to socialise with other children the same age, the group was for 2-3 year olds. My daughter was able to paint, draw with chalk and a variety of other media, play in the home corner, enjoy story time and singing along.  The session leaders explained that on sunny days they go outside to play a variety of games.

Seeing how much my daughter enjoyed the session I will gladly take her once a week, she didn't want to leave! I would recommend to any mother/father who's local children's centre provide stay and play sessions.

Has anyone else has any experience with stay and play? I'm considering trying out tumble tots sessions too.
