Do it like a dude

Recently I have unintentionally found  myself wearing a range of loose fit, boyish clothing and have since been more and more aware of this type of look in stores and magazines. And quite frankly, it is safe to say I have now fallen in love with the boyfriend fit trend!
In this slightly more summery weather there is nothing more I have loved to do in a morning than throw on a pair of ripped jeans, a loose fit T or cami with some Birkenstock sandals and a pair of shades. It's great to be comfotabale and feel great in what I'm wearing, so for me I think this trend is a win win. If you're yet to discover the boyfriend trend, take a look at some of my fave high street pieces below. I have put together some outfit combinations, however a lot of these garments would look great mixed and matched too!

The Ultimate Nail Polish Remover

If you have not yet heard of this product then it is my pleasure to introduce to you the the ultimate, hassle free, no mess nail polish remover from Bourjois that has become an essential in my make up bag. This handy little nail polish remover pot is filled with foam that you literally just dip your nail into and twist to remove all polish. I must admit when first saw the packaging and read '1 second removal' I had my doubts but it really does get rid of the polish in seconds! All of the product is soaked into the foam so it very easy and clean to use, and nothing goes to waste, I always get a bit carried away and seem to drown the cotton wool pad in nail polish, oops! It is slightly more awkward with toes I found I had tip the pot slightly which cause some of the product to drip but for finger nails it is a must have, perfect for when your in a rush to remove and nasty chipped nails! For a nail polish remover this product also smells quite nice, although nail polish removers will always have a bit of a pungent smell due to the chemicals however I noticed this product has a subtle vanilla scent and shortly spotted on the packaging that it is enriched with nourishing almond oil, red fruit and vanilla.  I can safely say this will be my go to nail polish removing product from now on. Retailing at £4.99  a tad more than the standard nail polish removing product but in my opinion a worthwhile purchase, this product is available direct from the Bourjois website, but I have also spotted it in Boots and I am sure you can find it in other drug stores or retailers that have a Bourjois stand.



Please note my giveaway has now ended but thank you to all those who entered and congrats to the winner, I can't wait to do the next one!
