Best Summer Glow 2014!

What does everyone want for summer?... A TAN! 

I have collected 3 different fake tan options for a great summer glow this year. I have purposely picked 3 options with different price ranges so its affordable for anyone!

Superdrug's own Solait Tinted Bronzing Foam

£3.48

I'll begin with the cheapest and definitely one of my favourites. Solait (Superdrug's own brand) have produced a tanning mousse which creates incredible results for only £3.48! Like any other tan a great prep of exfoliating and moisturiser before hand will make it last longer. This tanning mousse is not wash off but will fade without streaking.

Of course you'll need a tanning mitt or glove to help apply this evenly so you don't have streaky legs!

P.s. this is a tan where you need to apply before bed and then wash off in the morning.

Rimmel's Sun Shimmer Instant Tan

£4.65

Carrying on to an affordable buy for everyone, Rimmel have released their instant tan sun shimmer (They have actually changed the packaging to this, but it is exactly the same!). This instant tan is good for when you realise you're a little pale and need to quickly top up the tan. You can purchase this in either a shimmer or matte (i personally prefer a matte tan). As you can see it says it's water resistant, again you can also purchase it as a wash off tan.

This tan is brown gooey lotion which shows you your instant tan, well, instantly! 

It also smells amazing!

St. Tropez Everyday Body Gradual Tan

£9.59

Lastly i have picked the famous St. Tropez. This isn't an instant tan like the others, it is infact a gradual tan. St. Tropez's everyday body gradual tan lotion develops over the period of a few hours, so either putting it on in the morning for a party or leaving it over night you will achieve a great natural looking tan! It comes in either a light/medium or a medium/dark, i got the medium/dark and it still looks natural unlike others which can make you look dirty!

P.s. you definitely need to apply using a mitt or glove as it can become streaky and you won't know as its a gradual tan, therefore make sure you have exfoliated, moisturised and covered the skin evenly to achieve that streak free summer glow!

Squeaky Clean Skin with Elemis!

As a teenager i usually stick to buying the cheap drugstores-own products which i can afford, only now i have realised splashing a little cash can make a massive difference!

Elemis is a well known brand which appeals to an older generation id say, but don't let this fool you! It is AMAZING!

From the picture above you can see a small collection of products i use on a daily basis in the evening and morning to make sure my skin is squeaky clean and prepped for my makeup!

Before using the Sensitive Cleansing Wash i wipe off as much makeup as i can using some kind of facial wipes (usually Simple's oil balancing wipes). I then move to my sink and dampen my face with warm water. I pump a small amount of Elemis' Sensitive Cleansing Wash and rub in circular motions all over my face. The Cleansing Wash has a silky texture and you can almost feel it working in an instant. After i've fully foamed up my face ill wait a minute to let it do its job and then wash off with warm water. This will leave your face silky smooth and clear from any extra makeup!

Next i'll grab a few cotton pads and put a dollop of Elemis' Rehydrating Rosepetal Cleanser. Gently rub the pad all over your face and you'll be amazed as to how clean and rehydrated your skin will feel.

After this put a few drops of Elemis' Soothing Apricot Toner onto another cotton pad and wipe all over your face, this smells amazing and cools and soothes your face making your skin feel refreshed and clean.

Finally ill moisturise my skin with this amazing little wonder. Elemis' fresh skin Softly Softly Daily Moisturiser is a light, non-greasey moisturiser which leaves your skin feeling fresh. It smells and leaves the skin feeling a lot like tea tree but it isn't.

As this moisturiser is about the size of my palm it is perfect for travelling and keeping in your bag if you suffer from dry skin or just like to moisturise when you are out or travelling.
