Self Tanning

Here in England lets just say we do not get any kind of sun, with only high's of 9 degree's we are most likely not to get a perfect bronzed tan are we? There are only 2 options available.. Sunbeds? Honestly... i never go on them, and if i do it's once in a blue moon, not only is there a high risk of skin cancer, but also ages the skin. So in my eyes Self tanning is the best way to get that "Holiday Beach Glow" without having to jump on a plane, or risk of skin cancer.

Spend Thousands of ££ for that perfect glow?

The Effects of Sunbeds

Sunbed

My personal High end tan to use is St.Tropez, No Smears, No streaks, and No horrible "biscuit" smell.
"Our original, aloe vera-infused formula delivers the deepest, most intense colour in our self tan range. Simply smooth on with latex gloves to deliver an ultra-even tan"

The tan i use is the bronzing lotion in a pump form,

Its £30.64 for 240ML & £20.43 for 120ML

The Self Tan i use.

This tan gives me the darkest results, but i do love having a dark tan, if you simply just want that tinged bronze look, just simply add moisturizer to the tan on your tanning mitt before applying, after the tan is applied, wait 4-6 hours, and have a shower to wash off the excess tan that hasn't sunk in but don't scrub just simply pat the skin dry.

You can buy St. Tropez on their website here..

My Results with Moisturizer

My Favorite Drugstore Self Tanner is Sunkissed Self-Tanning Air Pump Mousse 250ml
"The Sunkissed self-tanning air pump mousse will give you a beautiful natural tan in an instant and the specially formulated active tanning ingredients will ensure your tan stays for days." - i 100% agree with this statement and the whole bottle has lasted me for ages! I usually used the St. Tropez first then the following day when i have gotten used to being that brown and want to be even more brown! i use this on top. Differently a mini version of St. Tropez and i highly recommend this without breaking the bank either!
£4.99 - 250ML

Trusty Falsies

I am in LOVE with these falsies! The adhesive it comes with is incredible! & BELIEVE it or not they are from Primark!! I don't wear falsies all the time, but when i do i grab these first, but what i can't get over is how good they are and the price.. yes they are £1.00!!!

I couldn't believe it.

I expected them to just fall off in the wind if i'm honest.

but no, they stayed on all day without having to reapply glue throughout the day.

I was speechless, you can double up eyelashes for a night out, or if you want a natural look, just wear 1 pair.

0001 in Black, Doubled up.

Single pair.

I have used these trusty lashes for around a year now, and couldn't see myself wearing anything else.

For super amazing lashes for £1.00, you can't really complain and it definitely doesn't break the bank!

Makeup For Today!

Final Look

Two products i want to talk about that i'm wearing to work today are..
Avon Matte Lipstick in Z011212 - Matte Crimson

This by far has to be one of the best purchases i have made in a while, i absolutely adore matte lipstick as its long lasting and never gets onto you're teeth!

My mom is a Avon Representative so i can get quality Avon cosmetics for a discounted price, i think i payed £1.50 for this lipstick, and honestly i wish i had ordered more!

Here's the link to Avon lipstick and Lipcare.

Black Gloss Packaging

Matte effect Lipstick

Swatched

&
Mac Studio Fix Fluid in NC43.5

I Love this foundation, so trusty! I always go slightly darker than my natural skin tone, as i always usually wear self tan, the consistency of this foundation is great, it doesn't feel "cakey" just feels like silk, i don't usually use a foundation brush for this foundation, as sometimes you can't get the best coverage with a foundation brush, i have clear skin majority of the time, but i still like a good coverage, the bonus of this foundation is it a great smell, i got this foundation as a gift for Christmas and it was around £20.50.
Here's the link for this foundation.
