St. Moriz!

I'm not too fussed with having a tan but if I do want some colour, I'd rather fake tan than get the real thing. This is because I'm impatient and I don't want to heighten my risk of cancer.

All I've ever used before this, is a gradual tanning moisturiser, so this was my first time fake tanning 'properly'. I am delighted to say, I am happy with the results! Even as a first timer, I found it ever so easy to do.

To me, this smells like shampoo/hairspray which isn't over whelming at all. To prepare for this, I exfoliated and moisturised, like you should prior to all tanning products. I then used plastic gloves to apply the mousse and made sure I rubbed it in well. I left it for 4-6 hours and then had a shower. The water was fairly clear.

The results:

My leg after using St. Moriz and my arm; the colour my legs used to be.

I am always paranoid with tanning products, thinking they have made me turn orange. I'm still not sure if I'm orange with this but it's better than other products I've tried.

You can buy this from the likes of Savers, TJ Hughes, Ebay, Amazon, Fragrance Direct and Cheap Smells (Probably a few other places too).

I was too lazy to go out so I ordered mine from Cheap Smells for £3.99 with free delivery. It's £2.99 from Fragrance Direct but P&P is £1.95.

Sample challenge!

I don't know about you, but I never get around to using samples. As you can see, my collection is building up! Out of all of them, I've tried the Dove conditioner and that's because I had a full sized bottle. I've also tried the Clinique Clarifying Lotion which I don't like at all; it burns so much!

Starting from today, I'm going to try and use these samples up because if I don't use them, then what's the point in having them?

GOSH Trio Eye Shadows

Pink Sunset

Tropic Fever

Crystal Waters

Limelight

These are the new shades of trio eye shadows GOSH have released. The colours certainly stand out! The pigmentation of these is good and as you can see, the colours are buildable. My favourite is Tropic Fever as the blue is beautiful and is the most pigmented out of all the shades. My next favourite is Crystal Waters, as I regularly wear blues and greens on my lower lash line. Then Pink Sunset and then Limelight. I think Pink Sunset will be hard to wear because reds and pinks usually make my eyes look sore.

This is just an introduction to the eye shadows. Hopefully I will be posting looks on how to wear each of the trios. This will also be useful for me to see how I can wear red and pink eye shadows.

These are priced at around £7 each.

BeautyUK 3D FX mascara

Ugly eye alert!

Price: £3.99

I'm really disappointed with this mascara. The formula is so dry. So dry that it looks like the mascara has been open for two months. You can see how dry the formula is in the second photo. Because of this, little product is transferred to my lashes and all it does is give them a black tint. It doesn't lengthen or give my lashes volume.

BeautyUK lipstick in Passion

Price: £3.49

Passion is a bright, raspberry pink. This lipstick is extremely pigmented! So pigmented that you only need one swipe to get full coverage. It is also really creamy and glides on well. I'm not sure on the staying power but after wiping it off of my hand, a stain was left. The price is very affordable too!

Another shade that is catching my eye is Vampire, a gorgeous deep red.
