Why you need to try Loving Tan

 

I’m a weekly tanner pretty much all year round and have been for years. I just feel that I look a lot better, less ill/fatigued and more glowing with a tan. I don't want to look bronze, I'd prefer to look golden and like the tan is natural. I have used so many brands - I was particularly loyal to St Tropez for around 10/12 years and Coco & Eve for 18 months or so, but Loving Tan has my heart now and even if I try another brand, I'll always have Loving Tan in my stash and it's the brand that I use most often. It's pretty much impossible to get streaks with it and it fades very evenly. Most importantly, it gives me the golden glow that I love. There are a number of different tan options available, which I'm going to talk about today.

Five budget beauty loves....

Has anyone else noticed recently that 'budget' beauty brands are actually a lot pricier than expected? I guess that makeup in general, has increased a lot in price in the past year or so (along with everything else!). That said, we can always rely on good old Boots for a good deal or Look Fantastic, where my  BEAUTYLYMIN code will save us 21%. I loved looking in Walgreens when I was in the U.S. in January at all of the budget beauty brands - there aren't many (any?) that we can't get over here now so I didn't buy very much as the exchange rate was particularly unfavourable at that point.  L'Oreal is probably my favourite budget beauty brand because the products perform really well and a lot are very comparable with higher end brands. They do base and eye products particularly well. Today, I have a roundup of my current top five budget beauty buys....

Five minute makeup for a fatigued face!

I don't wear makeup on a daily basis, particularly if I'm at home and not feeling my best. However there are times when I just can't take looking at my fatigued face (due to illness/medical treatment, hoping it will improve as my health does!) and I need to whack on some makeup but don't want to spend a lot of time doing it. Enter the five minute makeup routine!

Skin Rocks - worth the hype?

I've been an admirer of Caroline Hirons for a long time so naturally, when she started her skincare brand, I knew I had to try some products. I have used and finished some products previously but haven't shared my thoughts (apart from in empties on my stories) until now.  I have yet to try all of the products available but have five to review. I love the bold colours of the packaging of the products, they certainly won't be confused with any others in my skincare stash. It's bright, fuss-free and for the most part, refillable. It's also worth mentioning that the products are available fragrance-free. Now on to my thoughts (please keep in mind that I have dry skin)...
