JERGENS


JERGENS

Natural Glow + Firming Daily Moisturiser
&
BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream

Review!
Since Summer if fast approaching and most of my skin has come out of it's winter hyberation I have
been self tanning a whole lot more lately using a variety of different brands and products. However
on lazy days, when I am lacking the time for a full on full body tanning sesh but am still after a nice
natural looking glow to my skin. 

I have been reaching for my Jergens Natural Glow which not only
gradually tans my skin it also firms the skin which is a double yay because my lack of exercise means
my skin, especially my legs can always do with some firming up and the firming within this cream
along with the bronzing shade means my legs, skin and whole body is left looking much leaner and
ready for bikini the weather! Has a lovely smell to it as well. 

Available in both Medium and Medium to Tan for a current RRP $14.99 for 221ml 


In between reaching for the above. I have also been using this BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream like
mad! I just love this product so much! I have only ever used a BB Cream on my face and since now
discovering one for my body there is no turning back!

This 5 in 1 product hydrates. illuminates, evens out skin tone, firms and corrects skin imperfections
like my varicose veins on my legs which you can barely see now that my skin is glowing from
regular daily use of these two products. My skin has completely changed from pasty white to
appearing toned by the change in shade and defined by the illuminating particles.

Available in both Light and Medium to Deep for a current RRP $14.99 for 221ml

All Jergens products be purchased from Priceline both in store and online.

Check out the entire Jergens range of products on their website including an in shower scrub, deep
conditioning moisturiser, body oil and much more!

VANI T


VANI-T Beauty 
Tanning & Makeup Review!

http://www.vani-t.com

It's that time of the year again when the sun shines a little brighter, the breeze feels a little warmer
and our clothes become a little.... well little! With that for a lot of us comes the desire to appear like
we have just come home from a Summer holiday somewhere exotic. For me, I love to tan because it
gives the illusion that my body is more toned, slimmer and healthier looking than it actually is!

I do suffer from varicose veins and cellulite on my legs and having a good tan on me seems to hide
and disguise these flaws quite a bit. I never, ever sun bake for real. I am extremely sun conscious
and only ever fake my bake all the way! With so many amazing products just like these ones
which are so affordable and readily available it makes being able to achieve this so easy!

Today, because I am such a fan of this brand and truly believe in these products I am going to chat to
you about them! So let's go!


There is no mistaking Vani-T's magenta pink and silver metallic packaging! It is very much my style
and this pump style bottle is so easy to use and doesn't get all drippy and messy at all! The deep
brown formula comes out in a light foam consistency and applied to the mitt then onto the skin
gently and evenly leaving a light caramel toasty layer which deepens in shade within just one hour
before washing off. Can be left on to develop a deeper tan if desired.

The formula is both hydrating, anti-ageing and dries almost instantly!
Some key ingredients include - Vitamins A & E, Certified organic Aloe Vera extract and Kakadu
Plum extract. - $39.95

Left leg natural - Right leg with one layer of Vani-T Brazilian Bronze Moouse!


This vanillary scented and generously sized body wash is by far one of the nicest I have used in quite
a while! The metallic pink and silver packaging is so eye catching and pretty! I really love how it
looks in my shower waiting for me each morning and night. I just love using it!

The formula is a magical shimmering light golden liquid which makes me feel like a bit of
a fairy queen. Made with natural and organic ingredients which not only cleanse, but hydrate, build
collagen and renew the skin. It is also anti-ageing, full of antioxidants and sulphate free! - $20.95




I have to admit when it comes to tanning, I can't always be bothered to use a tanning mitt. However
when I do you can really see the difference it makes when it comes to how my tan application turns
out. A bronzing mitt not only saves your hands from turning orange or deep brown, it is less mess
and applies a more even, streak free and better looking tan!

This mitt is made from polyester microfibre and can be simply rinsed out and used over and over
again. You can really tell it has been made with quality materials as the mitt is nice and thick and
feels strong and not likely to just fall apart which has happened to me in the past! - $11.95


Vani-T Lipstick - La Femme 3.5g
Vani-T also offer a range of mineral makeup and beauty tools including some incredibly beautiful floating crystal makeup brushes! This like other makeup by the brand is housed in the most eye
catching lipstick case I have ever seen! I am loving that this lippy shade is a great everyday colour!
It has a lovely satin finish and sheen to it which feels soft and moisturising to the lips.

Other lipstick shades by Vani-T include - Cupcake, Angel, French Kiss, Vamp, Undress, Scandal,
Frisky Business, Gossip, Enchantress, Peek-A-Boo & Screen Siren. - $33.95

MAGNIFEYES


~  Rimmel London  ~
Magnif'Eyes Shadow & Liner Pens!

I have recently been testing out two of these gorgeous shimmery brand new double ended eye shadow
 liners from Rimmel London in the shades 'Back To Blacks' & "Queens Of The Bronzed Age'
and I have been completely digging the easy to wear combo!

I have mainly been using the lighter shade of  the bronzy brown all over my lid and lightly on my
brow bone and then blending in the darker brown shade into my crease. These are so easy to blend
that I have just been using my finger which I find with these in particular works much better than
using a shadow brush as I normally would with any other eye shadow product, however since
these are cream shadows and not powder this technique is easiest, quickest and I have found most
effective.

Whilst the formula itself is quite soft, but they do blend beautifully together and these two which I have in particular look great together for both everyday wear as well as night when a bolder line is drawn and then smudged for a smokey effect. The duel end means one end is pointier than the other which makes for an easy thin or bold line.

The shades do have some shimmer in them which transfer onto the skin in a really pretty way without looking like too much glitter dust! I found they lasted for a good full day without creasing or fading.


These new Rimmel London Magnif'Eyes Double Ended Eyeshadow Pens also come in shades
"Kissed By A Rose Gold" & "Dark Side Of Blue" and can be purchased from Priceline, Coles,
K-Mart, Big W and Target as well as selected pharmacies here in Australia for current RRP $16.95ea.

Have you tried these shadow pens?
Which shade are you most keen to try or which is your favourite?

INSTANT TAN

~  Rimmel London  ~

Sun Shimmer Instant Tan

BB Skin Perfecter 

Medium Matte Review!


Recently I reviewed as similar new product also by Rimmel London which you can read all about here. This particular product however has been a great addition to my at home self tanning routine which I haven’t seemed to be able to stop doing since the beginning of Summer. This has been a bit of a bronzed obsessed holiday period for me and I have enjoyed every second of it!

One of my favourite things about the ever changing, growing and evolving products and innovations from the beauty industry is their ability to come up with product for not just one single purpose but several and in this case an impressive nine.

1. Softens Skin
2. Smooths Skin
3. Moisturises
4. Instant Tanning Results
5. Gives A Healthy Glow
6. Evens Skin Tone
7. Covers Skin
8. Protects Skin
9. Lasts Up To 24 Hours


This BB ‘wash off’ formula means I can experiment with as many layers of products as I want to determine the shade I am feeling that particular day and if it turns out too dark or not looking right I can just wash it right off and start over again instantly! No waiting around for days or up to a week for a dodgy tan application to fade here. Too often I find I haven’t exfoliated my skin enough and my fake tan can look much darker and a bit dirty on my knees and around certain areas on the tops of my feet. Definitely NOT a good look!

At just $13.95 this Sun Shimmer Instant Tan has barely any shimmer actually in it, yet it gives your skin a certain glow and the slimming illusion of the deep chocolate matte shade does a super job on my otherwise naturally not at all very toned thighs.


Available in both Medium Matte & Light Matte! (Shop Now!)

TANNING ROUTINE



~ Tanning Through The Seasons ~

My DIY Self Tanning Routine!

Transitioning From Summer Through Winter!

Self tanning can be a tricky thing. A skill many of us let a professional take control of
for us. There are so many things that can go wrong. Too light, too dark, too orange, streaky,
un-even, leaving marks all over your car seats, coach, bed sheets, etc and that off putting fake
tan smell. The whole point of a fake tan, is to get that golden looking glow without risking your
health by going the natural or solarium route. At the end of the day, we all want our tan to look 
natural and flawless.

However, DIY-ing isn't as hard or scary as it sounds. It's just like experimenting with makeup
and figuring out what works, what doesn't and making mistakes and learning from them.

Using good quality products definitiely helps, and with the right tools and techniques you can
have north coast, holiday, 'I've just spend my whole life at the beach' looking skin in no time
and for a fraction of the salon price!

It's really easy once you get the hang of it and once it becomes routine you will wonder why you
ever got almost naked for a complete stranger in an awkward paper G-string in the first place!

Below I will share with you the products currently in my self tanning routine I am using
 to get flawless, glowing, tanned skin year round with some hints and tips along the way!


Schick
Intuition Pure Nourishment Razor
For All Skin Types!
RRP: $12.69
Review (Buy!)
I feel like this first step goes pretty much without me having to say it.
If you don't wax, then shave your legs before you tan! If you wait until afterwards, you'll
ruin all of your hard work and shave the tan away... Nobody wants to see hairy legs, so if
you're going to flaunt it, make it count!
-------------------------------------------------

 St.Tropez
Body Polish
For All Skin Types!
RRP: $19.95
Review (Buy!)
There is nothing more I love than a good all over body scrub and this one is particually
suited to help maintain and prep your skin for tanning. The circular beads are not to harsh
or scratchy and therefore making sure your tan applies and eventually fades away
smooth and even. 
-------------------------------------------------

Jergens
Daily Moisture
For Dry Skin!
RRP: $5.99
Review (Buy!)
I feel like this is a step a lot of people skip when self tanning. Moisturising is so
important for our skin, not only to keep it looking fresh, soft and youthful. It also provies
a smooth and even base for your tan to stick to, giving you the most flawless, streak free
glow you absolutely want!
-------------------------------------------------

Paula's Choice
Sun 365 Self-Tanning Foam
For All Skin Types!
RRP: $16.80
(Buy!)
My current self tanner of choice is this one by Paula's Choice, for a number of reasons.
The main reason is because it is buildable and creates the most natural results!
Just one application gives you a subtle glow. Apply 5-10 and your a super bronzed,
sun kissed looking goddess! Not dodgy tanning smell as it is scent free.
No messy tanning stains all over my bathroom as the formula simply pumps out into my
 hand light as a feather for controlled application.

ST.TROPEZ



Glowing Summer Skin

With St.Tropez!




Bronzing Mousse
RRP: $19.95 (50ml)
My little 50ml travel size can is perfect for someone like me who doesn't tan year round,
but likes to give it a go every now and again, especially if I'm going out somewhere like the
pool or the beach and don't want to look too much like I live in an igloo!

This Bronzing Mousse comes complete with a pump nozzle which dispenses out around about
a fifty cent size amount of dark brown foam onto your skin. It is recommended to apply this with
a tanning mitt, which I do have, but was too lazy to find, so on this occasion I just used my hands
and well, let's just say now I know why you should wear a tanning mitt because this stuff likes to
turn your hands a toasty shade of black!

Not that I particularly care. I just gave my hands a good wash and scrub and now my hands
are almost back to their original pasty white colour. Besides that, when it comes to the application
and overall finished effect this tanning mousse gives, I rate it rather high! I just rubbed it into my
skin in the recommended circular motion and it blended right in and after a few coats gave me a
gorgeous looking, natural bronze glow as shown in the pic below. :)

Body Polish
RRP: $19.95 (200ml)
My smooth, even, streak free glow wouldn't have been quite as perfect looking if it weren't for
my trusty new Summer companion! The St.Tropez Body Polish preps your skin for tanning
by gently exfoliating the skin with tiny little white circular beads which do not scratch your
 skin resulting in a nice, even, fresh surface for the tan to stick to so it appears nice and smooth.

In addition this also helps to maintain and prolong your tan by evenly scrubbing it off your
skin every few days. So if you're wanting to build up your tan gradually over a few days or weeks
 you can still do that and still have a nice, even surface to apply to each time by using this 24
hours before each tan application. You can even use this on your face to scrub away any dead
skin cells if you like to also tan your face. Just mix a little into a gentle cleanser and use together!

Tip!
Don't forget to moisturise afterwards! This will keep your tan looking fresh and flawless!
Concentrate a little more on the dryer areas of your skin. Knees, elbows, hands and feet
are popular areas for concern. For me, its my back where I tend to get the most dead skin
build up as it's the hardest place to reach when scrubbing!

Is slightly fragranced with a light perfumed scent.

Bonus! 
Paraben & Cruelty Free!
