St Moriz Fake Tan Mousse

I will admit it to you all now, I don't general wear fake tan very often. I am happy with my skin tone and when the sun comes out I am blessed with a nice tanned glow. However, when the sun doesn't come out for a while I get a sickly pallor which would make even the Cullen's feel queasy. So when the time comes, I reach for St Moriz.

I haven't used this product in a while, the last bottle I purchased myself was from TJ Hughes for £1.99 and since the closure in Plymouth I thought I was doomed. But hooray for Bargain stores, its now on sale for £2.99 at Savers for 200ml.

Heres how it looks:

If you wear fake tan, certainly reach for this product, seriously. I get the best results when I ex foliate and moisturise the day before, but its up to you... Its a mousse texture that you just rub on to your skin, you don't have to worry about being too even with it as long as its all over and there are no marks. Go to bed, or wait at least 8 hours, then jump in the shower. While in the shower you will notice any of the nastiness coming off and leaving a lovely sun kissed glow. I only like a little sun kissed glow so one application is fine for me and last a good week or so, great for those nights out. I find it doesn't leave you looking like a baked bean, orange, or any other variant of Katie Price skin tone you can think of.

In all, its a great product just be careful once its open to leave the product upright or you may end up with a nasty leak on your carpet ;)


Suddenly Madame Glamour

Well, I was in need of a new perfume. My favourite bottles were all empty and my Mum is an avid Chanel wearer. She heard about this perfume on a YouTube video promoting the perfume. It is claimed that the perfume smells just like Chanel and you are even challenged to smell the difference!

The best part of it, it retails at £3.99 for 50ml which is an absolute bargain but not only that we managed to get it on offer for £1.99! Arghhhhhhh!

Here is how it looks:

Im not going to lie, the packaging doesn't make me wet my pants in anticipation. It looks like a standard sort of perfume you can pick up in Wilkinson's... 

Now for the smell, I personally cant tell the difference between this and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. No seriously. At all. My Mum however can tell the difference but only just, and to be fair she's been wearing the perfume steady now since we bought it...

The only down side I can see is that the perfume doesn't really have lasting power, at the end of a long day of wearing it it does get a sort of stale-ish smell. Not noticeable to someone who isn't sitting on your lap but still, stale perfume isn't great.

All in all, a really great find, its an amazing product for the price, especially if you want a designer smelling product for less than a tenth of the price. Amazing. ;)

Primark Butterfly Fashion Nails

One of my best finds yet! Whilst browsing through Primark for the latest accessory haul with the Mother we stumbled upon some glue on nails. As somebody who is an avid nail biter and has tried everything in the book to stop, I really liked the look of these nails. Its worth to note that I actually used to get acrylic nails applied every few weeks or so, so I am not an amateur nail shopper!

These nails looked very pretty, simple black packaging but gorgeous French tips with little butterflies printed on and some strategically placed black lines and glitter. The best thing of all, and what made me slightly sceptical... £1 for a pack that may last for two applications depending on nail size. I have very petite nails and so for me this was just suitable for one application, but still, £1!

Now for the price, I would have been more than happy with them if I had applied them and they lasted just for one night out, but these lasted 6 days until I bit them all off (oops!) but I can honestly say when I removed them they were all on tightly still apart from the baby nail and may have possibly lasted another week or so. But please don't quote me on it!

This is the finished look: 

All in all I am extremely happy with these nails, the price, the look and the lasting power. Well done Primark these are fantastic and we have already stocked up on 3 more boxes of various styles!
