St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mousse!

I have been using this for the past few months now and i LOVE it!

You may have heard about this by alot of other Beauty Gurus who also say they love it.

It has been described as a dupe of St Tropez Tanning Mouse and quite alot of people have said it's alot better than St Tropez!

It gives such a lovely dark natural looking tan.

I have a shower, exfoliate, moisturise then wait a while before i apply the product, i apply this in the evening (usually the night before i go out) so the tan can fully develop and so that i can shower the next day, to remove any excess product. (If you want to know my full tanning routine read my Xen-Tan Dark Tanning Lotion review where i talk about my routine in more detail)

When applying this product it's visible straight away so there's no chance of you missing bits/looking streaky.
It's very quick & easy to apply.
It dries fast.
It doesn't have a horrible fake tan smell.
It lasts up to a week, i find it gradually fades.
I only ever use one coat when i apply it, but you can always do 2 coats if you want to achieve an even darker tan.
I use this once a week but you can top it up as much as you prefer.

And for the best bit it only costs £2.99!! (200ml bottle)

The only problem with St Moriz is that it can be hard to find, i bought it from B&M.
It's also available to buy from a variety of online stores such as...

Fragrance Direct

Amazon

Google will help you find it also.
Checking your local stores and chemists might be worth a try too!

Have you used St Moriz?
Do you love or hate?

Happy Tanning!

Naughty Santy! This is something i should really try and do. (one day!)

Anyway! i popped in the other day and this is what i bought...

Sandals! & a few extra bits.

I've been shopping!

Wanna see what i bought?

First of all, these sandals!
I fell in love with these the moment i set my eyes on them!

They are Silver Faux Snake Gladiator Sandals

Look how beautiful they are..






I bought these from Red Herring at Debenhams.
They were ment to be £32, but i had a £5 off voucher so i got them for £27.
I was hoping to wear them this weekend, but with the rainy weather, i'm going to have to wait. :(

I also bought these Gold Glittery Gladiator Sandals



and i bought them in brown too..



I also have them in white, which i bought last year.
I got these from Primark and they are a bargain!
Costing £4 for a pair! You can't go wrong! :)

I then took myself to La Senza, i love it in there!
Everything is so colourful and pretty!



I got myself some knickers/thongs- they currently have an offer on at the moment buy 5 knickers for £12, i might go back and get some more, i was spoilt for choice!

And i got myself some double sided sticky tape, for a floaty maxi dress i have bought, don't want anything falling out now do we girls!

Now onto make-up!
I finally decided to purchase some Girls Aloud False Lashes as i'm yet to try them! (Shame on me) I bought the Kimberley ones which look like this...



i shall be testing them out at some point this weekend. They cost me £5 from New Look.

I've been dying to get a brown eyeshadow palette, as i am a big fan of the brown smokey eye look, i was torn between a few choices, so i ended up buying the..
NYC Metro Quartet Eyeshadow in shade Union Square, which looks like this..



I like how it's labelled which can be useful as a guide to people who aren't sure how to use eyeshadow, it also comes with a double ended mini brush applicator.
I bought this from Superdrug and it cost me £3.99.


What have you bought lately?
and
Do you think i should do more blogposts like this?

Revlon Colorstay Foundation

I really really LOVE this foundation lately!

I've been using it for quite a few months now and i thought it was about time i blogged about it.

First of all they have 2 options, one for Combination/Oily skin and one for Normal/Dry Skin. I have Combination/Oily Skin so i go for that one.

The foundation comes in a variety of shades, which is really good.

I have Sand Beige (too light for me) and Rich Tan (too dark for me) so i've been mixing them, which has achieved a lovely colour which matches my skintone. (If your wondering why i have 2 wrong colours, i bought Sand beige because it looked like it matched my skintone in the shop until i got home, used it and realised it was too light for me, silly store lighting! and i was given rich tan)

Anyway.. this foundation achieves full coverage, which is what i like to have because i have blemishes/scars etc which i like to hide.

It lasts hours and hours, so no need to worry about having to top up!

I bought it from Superdrug and it cost £11.99 (30ml bottle)

Worth the money in my opinion!

I also use the Revlon Colorstay Pressed Powder in Medium (which i put over my foundation sometimes)

Superdrug currently have an offer on Revlon 3 for 2 on all products. (So i suggest stocking up while the offer is on!)

So i bought Revlon Colorstay- True Beige (Combo/oily)
Revlon Photoready in Cool Beige
and i bought my mum Revlon Photoready in Natural Beige.

I've not tried Revlon Photoready just yet, so i'll be posting a review on that very soon, so keep your eyes pealed.

Do you/have you used either Revlon Colorstay or Photoready?
Love or hate?
Let me know!
