The Body Shop Body Butter!

Hi there everyone!

So today im going to talk about my all-time favorite body moisturisers, and they are the body shops body butter! Now they are 'butter' so they are very thick and not a lotion in any way possible, but these  leave you with the softest skin ever!

I have loved these all my life because my mum has been using them since i was little, and also because the scents are absolutely amazing! I have two favorites.

1)The body shop coconut body butter.

This contains community trade organic virgin coconut oil for normal/dry skin. This is definitely the best scent in my personal view. It just smells so tropical and reminds me of sitting by the beach in LA with a coconut drink for some strange reason, even though i have never been to LA. They are super super creamy and thick, the scent stays on your skin for ages and makes your skin feather soft to touch.

2)The body shop passion fruit body butter.

This is also my second favorite scent. It contains passion fruit seed oil to moisture normal/dry skin. I love this one alot to, this scent smells like you have mixed a whole bunch of your favorite fruits together in a good way, mainly passion fruit, but it is very fruity and sweet.

I just want to mention, they are £12.50 for 200ml, which i think is alot but, they are so worth it and, they do offers on there website all the time so they are sometimes reduced in price, http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk 

So thanks alot for reading, i hope i helped you if you wear in need for a new body moisturiser, and please subscribe to my blog so you can see my new post every Wednesday and Saturday bye!

Summer Self-Tan Routine! 2012

Hello there everyone!

So today's post is going to be my self-tan routine, and if you live in the UK then you know that its hardly sunny enough to get tanned naturally, or to even put fake tan on. So when there are a couple of odd hot days, or if i go on holiday, then this is what i use.

Now for my all over body tan, i use the: 

GARNIER summer body moisturising lotion sun kissed look:

So basically this gradually builds a natural looking sun-kissed tan. Now, i am super pale, and this claims to get tanned gradually, so i always get the deep sun-kissed look shade so it makes me deeper tanned, more quicker, and it does really work. This claims to have a summer fresh fragrance of apricot, which is does, out the bottle, but i cant help notice that when i have this on through out the day, the smell does get really strong, and not as nice as you imagine it would, so that is one of the down sides, but the rest are great! So I use this all over my body, because is doesn't go streaky like any other.

Tan that use for my legs:

Loreal sublime bronze self tanning dry mist.

I normally use this when i have the garnier tan on, and if am wearing a skirt, dress or shorts. It gives my legs a processional looking tan that is not orange, and i really love it! Now the reason i only use this on my legs it because, well, I'm not the best at applying tan, and i can only put this on my legs without it going streaky, now I'm not sure if its the tan or me that makes the rest of my body streaky, but it always looks great on my legs after abit of practice.

Now for the face:

OLAY complete care everyday sunshine, moisturising fluid with a touch of sunless tanner, SPF15

I also use this when mi using the garnier gradual tan, so my face isn't the only thing tanned. And i really love this product, the consistency is really thin, milk like. I apply like all over my face and my neck, making sure i have blended it in really good into my hair line, ears and brows, because you don't want it to look orange, or streaky. This makes your face look really glowy and sun kissed!

I really recommend all these products, of course this is what works for me, i cant promise they will work for everyone.

I also want to mention, that before i fake tan, i like to exfoliate my skin really good before, so it goes on smoother, and then moisturise alot after so it last for longer and i use the:

THE BODY SHOP, coconut body butter

It is very think, super moisturising and smells the best!

I hope you liked my tips and thanks for reading, bye!
