St Moriz & few other bits

Today I finally bought some of the St. Moriz fake tan, It has been in the local T J hughes for ages but I kept stopping myself as I have so much fake tan, but I have read so much good reviews about this product that I couldnt put it off any longer :) so I got it for £2.99 today, Im quite tanned from my hols so Im not planning to use it at the moment but Ill do a review when I do use it in the next few weeks.

I also picked up a 2 in 1 cleaner from the new boots vitamin e range I mentioned in another post, this was £2.99 and my fave simple cream was reduced to £3 for the big bottle at superdrug.


I also picked up this sally hansen no more mistakes corrector pen as I am quite bad at putting nail varnish on and I get a bit messy so this is a good idea for me. This was £1.99 from T J Hughes. I also got another 17 nail polish. Its a gorgeous purple called Lilac storm and I cant wait to try it out later.


Next up is the Prestige skin loving minerals bronzer in Glam Tan. I have been looking at these for so long but I could never decide which I wanted but today I finally decided on this one. Its really shimmery but when I tried it before it seemed nice on but that was on top of my normal bronzer so Im hoping this looks ok when I try it tomorrow on its own.

This is a swatch of the glam tan, pics crap cos with the flash it didnt show up at all for some reason yet without it looks really dark and dull.

New fake tan and earrings

So last night I tried out 2 new fake tans I got last week from T K Maxx, the face one on the left is the Clarins liquid bronze self tanning, I got this as I already had it in the intense and it gave a good colour but it was just too dark for me so when I saw this for £9.99 I had to have it, I applied it last night with cotton wool pads and its just a nice creamy liquid where as the intense one is a dark brown watery liquid. This morning I looked like I had a natural, healthy tan, even my mum who loves to comment on my orangeness told me how well it had worked!

The 2nd on the right is the Eau Thermale Avene moisturizing self tanning lotion which is in natural glow for sensitive skin, it says this is for face and body but I only used it on my body, This morning I had a few patchy bits but thats cos I rushed it last night but apart from that it seems really good, lovely colour on me and it didnt cause any reaction which most other fake tans do with me due to eczema and very sensitive skin.

This one cose £7.99 but also came with an aftersun which is pictured below, Im going to take this away with me as its for sensitive skin and Im hoping it will work better than the wilkinsons one I got free with my sun cream!

I also have to show these these amazing earrings (excuse the crappy photo, I ordered my memory card yesterday finally so good photos soon), these were £5 frm accessorize, I had seen these on a few blogs and had to have them, they are so pretty and I have been wearing them every day since I got them! they are my official new favourite earrings!!

Primark haul, fake tan & reaction

I have just had my last uni exam of the year this morning so Im free to make blogs without feeling guilty that Im not revising :) so firstly heres some bits I got from Primark for the summer as I have just booked my holiday to Lindos in Greece for July!

These pink glasses are so cute and were only a few quid!

and I got these jelly sandals, I had these last year in a different pattern and they were perfect on the beach and in the sea so I got these as soon as I saw them for £3! and I just love the ice looly pattern on them

I got this necklace which came with matching earrings for just £2, its so pretty and looks like it would cost alot more,I love it.

This dress was from the nightwear but I want to wear it as a summer dress, I think ill get away with it as its not too sea through and can be pulled off as a proper dress. This cost £4.

This top has halter neck straps that are the same pattern as the bottom bit of the top and this was £3.

I have so many fake tans, every time I try something new I tend to find a problem with it and never use it again, so today I dug out all the ones I could find to show you the extent of how many I have bought and what I thought about them, I have really dry skin so what doesnt work for me might be completely different for you as I find St. Tropez doesnt work for me but on my friend looks amazingly real and brown.

Below are the garnier summer body (good), Loreal sublime bronze (orange), garnier after sun with tan prolonger.

Above is Johnsons holiday skin (ok), st tropez everyday face (made me itchy), fake bake mouse (itchy and patchy due to dry skin, otherise good colour), xen tan face (really good), xen tan body (good), fake bake lotion (good), dove (ok), st tropez lotion (orange n patchy), clarins delicious (really good), clarins face (really good), st tropez mouse (orange on me), palmers natural bronze (really good), loreal sublime bronze airbrush (good when I use the fair one, good coverage), Olay tannign moisturisor (ok but made me itchy), garnier face (didnt do much), loreal face (didnt do much), make believe facial tanner with winter barrier (good), st tropez everyday body in fair (good, only st tropez product that doesnt mess up for me.) All in all Id say the best are the palmers, xen tan and clarins but the last two are expensive.

I also have the st tropez aero bronze somewhere that I got for about £8 from T.K.Maxx but that came out awful and was so patchy, probably as I sprayed myself, might have been better if I had help.

I also found this nail varnish, im not sure where its from, have a feeling it might be new look but I love the colour and Im going to keep it out ready for the summer.

I bought this from Superdrug the other day for about £2.50, it is the Palmers cocoa butter formula moisturizing body oil as I have been using alot of palmers products recently and thought they were working well. It said on the bottle you could put 1 or 2 capfuls in your bath to make it very soothing anf moisturising, I did this and it felt fine then yesterday morning I woke up and eczema had appeared all over me when I had had it under control for the past few months, My face was awful and still feels sore and bumpy now, my eyes puffed up so I could hardly see and my cheeks really flared up, this clamed down a few hours after getting up but all I can think is that this caused the flare up as I did not use or eat anything else that I dont usually do, Iv added some photos of my cheeks that I took yesterday afternoon, this was after it had gone down quite abit after using creams and plus the lighting doesnt really work but you get the idea, so I would say that if anyone suffers from eczema be careful if you want to use this product.

Palmer's update.

Just an update on the Palmers fake tan again, used it again last night and thought Id show you the colour, the photos a bit crap but you the idea, im usually very pale so this looks really tanned on me :).

If you click on the photo and see it full size you can see the colour better as my blog template seems to lighten the photos.

Wish me luck with my 2nd exam today :(

Palmers gradual fake tan moisturiser

Just a quick post before I go for my exam in a few hours :(, I used the palmers gradual fake tan last night and I have to say that these gradual ones have a tendancy to be just as dark on me as proper fake tans for some reason even when i dont use alot. It was darker this morning than I was expecting but it really is one of the best fake tan colours ive ever ended up with,not orange at all,only problem is as I wasnt expecting it to be so dark I just slathered it on without much care and now I have slightly patchy hands where it wasnt blended properly but now I know I can sort that out tonight if I apply another coat, and it smells gorgeous, like chocolate. Definatly going to keep on using this!!
