MID MARCH LOVES


Today I'm sharing with you a few products which I've gravitated too this month so far. If you've read my last post, you'll know I'm a fake tan tanorexic and in order for a tan to last, you need to moisturise. I'm loving the Dove Summer Glow + soft shimmer nourishing lotion. It's super moisturising, has a pleasant smell, soaks into the skin quickly and leaves a slight bronze tan which gradually darken the more often you use it. Tresemmé 24 Hour Body Sky High Plumping Powder has been my life saver recently. It gives my limp hair a voluminous life in seconds which really holds all day. Holy grail product right there, trust me. is just what I need as the weather is warming up. I always go for a matte finish but I'm really loving this lately. It keeps my makeup on all day without making me look greasy, instead it leaves my skins looking healthy.
Along Came Betty Pure Pores 15 Minute Detox Mask is such a fab face mask. My sister actually picked this up in tesco and I really cannot fault it. It has a nice fresh scent, softens the skin, cleans out my pores and washes off easily - what more can you ask for? The No7 Shine and Tint balm in Posy is the only shade I've really been wearing on my lips for the last few weeks. It doesn't dry out the lips and is a beautiful shade which leaves a nice faint tint. Finally is the Soigné Nail Polish in the shade Persimmon. A beautiful bright orange colour which is truly complimenting my tanned since at the moment! It dries quick, looks best with two coats, and I would say it lasts about three to four days without chipping. I love it!

FAKE TAN FAVES

Yes, you read that right, Pale Paigey has converted to fake tan and she even has a few favourites! Never thought I'd see the day where I'd using tan but after seeing a photo of me on a night out a few weeks back and how I ever so nicely blended into my boyfriends WHITE top - it was time to tan. My younger sister is a pro and she's been using the St. Moriz Instant Self Tanning Lotion in Medium for as long as I can remember. I really like it, its easy to apply because it leaves behind a stain so you can see if you've missed any parts. It blends easily, drys instantly and the colour once it's washed off is stunning but the tan doesn't last that long for me. Within two days or so its started to fade big time. Good for a quick fix though. Next onto the L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Express Pro Self-Tanning Dry Mist in Medium. I adore the colour of this tan so much, it's a lovely brown colour without looking orange. My only criticism of this tan is the mist isn't tinted which after spraying yourself, allowing the tan to develop and then four hours later realising you've missed a huge patch on your arm isn't the greatest feeling. Pretty please L'Oreal can you bring out a tinted spray please?
The St. Tropez Gradual Tan Everyday Spray is lovely for a natural looking tan. Like the Sublime Bronze tanner, this tan doesn't have a guide colour but regardless of that, I haven't come out patchy. It gives a tiny amount of colour but this does slowly intensify if you use the spray everyday for a little while. Perfect when I'm being too lazy to tan properly. One tan that trumps everything for me is the St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse in Dark. Unlike the St. Moriz lotion, this colour seems to last up to a week on skin without looking patchy or streaky. It is a tinted mousse so you get a guide colour which is super easy to blend and dries quick. I love the colour of this so much as it's dark but still doesn't look fake.
