Tips to get a Effortless Tan!

Effortless tan...

Now the Summer is on its way, everyone wants a tan that people would die for. But, don’t want to go to the sun beds? Too much risk? Here are tips I use to get a better, easier Summer tan! 

Nail Varnish- Seems weird that nail polish could change the way your skin looks but, if you use the right colour you’ll look completely different! I use Barry M’s Peach Melba which is great for this, specifically. Because it is a extremely light colour, it makes your skin look tanned. This is a good, cheap, way of appearing tanned!

Lotions- I've been using Garnier's summer body (see picture above)  for around a year. It's definitely the best gradual tan i've used and i've tried quite a few, trust me! It can be applied after every shower, which is what i do or it can just be applied whenever. It's completely up to you.They do a light, medium and deep. I used to use the 'light' colour but, it didn't change my skin colour very well. So, now i just stick to 'deep'.

Bronzer-  Another cheap version (if you buy a cheap bronzer) is to use a powder or crème bronzer. This can be used for contouring the face and maybe even body. It should be used on the cheeks, nose, upper forehead and even your jaw line.  I recommend MUA's bronzer, if you are on a budget but, still want a 'higher brand' glow.

Nude Lips- To make your face look more tanned, nude lips are great. Even if the foundation you are using or skin tone you have is light, nude lips will make your skin appear darker!

So, those are my tips...

Revlon Lip Butters: Are they really worth it?

Revlon Lip Butters...

 Creme Brulee (RRP: £7.99)

Swatch

There's been such a buzz over these, but my question is; are they worth the hype and price? Everyone is going to have different opinions on this anyway, but this is mine!

When i saw them in hauls etc etc on YouTube i didnt think the colours would be something i'd use. This is purely because, i like nude lipsticks, glosses and everything else. I don't think that dark or bright lipsticks match my skin tone so, i don't wear them. 

My frame of mind going into the shop was 'even if i don't like the lightest/nudiest colour they are selling, just get it and try it out. If you don't like it, you can put it with something else.' Creme Brulee was the only  nude they have and can i just say, it is the best pigmented lip butter i've tried. In my life! The colour isn't too over powering but does give a nice, glossed look. I'm not a major fan of lip glosses, but this lip butter has the best consistency which makes it look more effortless!

The packaging is actually very appealing and the concept of revealing the lipstick is very unique and something i haven't seen before. I must say, the packaging was a big seller for me. 

I suggest, if you like nudes but aren't very keen on lip glosses you should give this a whirl! I'm not sure about the price as if i could put a price on the product i'd say £5. But, it is a very long lasting and reliable lip butter.

Update! -I bought another in the colour 'peach parfait'; review to follow!

Barry M Polishes

Review

Barry M have been around for yonks (!) and are a respected company by many. I personally love them so far, and want more. I haven't been using Barry M nail polishes for very long as i always used No7 polishes. The consistency is surprisingly really good and easy to work with.

It only takes one coat of polish to get the full effect, unless more than needed is scraped from the nail polish brush. I am surprised with how good the packaging is also, its very simple and uses a glass feature as part of the presentation. The screw lid can be taken off very easily and then the brush is attached to apply to nails. This honestly sounds like the 'idiots guide to Barry M Nail polish'. I'll shut up in a minute..

Anyway, i purchased 6 as it was 3 for 2 in Superdrug but, even without the offer they are still at a very reasonable price. (£2.99) Mint Green is my current favourite :-) But, i think all of their polishes are very spring-y and worth the money!
