St Tropez Fashion Week Kit

The people at St Tropez decided to create a kit to help us re-create some of their looks that pounded the catwalks at london fashion week.


The kit includes an instants glow body lotion, and an instant glow face lotion.Both of which wash off.


Insert white hand,and a swatch of the lotion.It looks a little gold because my camera lights on.


Below,insert lovely golden hand.Both products have a subtle but pleasent smell, they are not sticky and they are easy to blend, leaving behind a natural golden glow.


The kit also contains a mitt (which I forgot to photograph) but hey we all know what a tanning mit looks like. And the famous illuminator.This product is one of the nicest things I've seen in a long time. I have kept my camera light on just so you can see the colour a bit clearer.In reality once blended its much more subtle.


Its a highlight with a blue iridescent tone.




Above:I have swiped it heavily so you can see the colour.

Below:Fully blended.


I just think its gorgeous.You can tone it down by mixing it with a moisturiser, but I think its too nice for that.

What can I say,Im a sucker for things that make you glow.

The kit retails for £30 which is a bargain considering the illuminator alone retails for £15

This deal ends 22nd October (sorry im a bit late) but delivery is free whoopie!

Any other info you may need can be found HERE

Let me know your thoughts on the illuminator, are you loving it like me?

Xen Tan Dark Lotion

I was recently sent a bottle of the Xen Tan dark tanning lotion.This was great because I have been wanting to try this for so long,but never took the plunge.....

So onto the fun bit.On the Xen Tan site it says that you can either apply a thin coat for a golden colour,or a couple of thick coats for a deep tan.Of course I decided to apply a thin coat first,just to be on the safe side.I must admit I was kind of scared when I first pumped out the lotion.

This is me the next day.....

In reality I was a bit darker than this,but the lighting in my room kept making me look pale.If you look at my neck/chest area,you can get a better idea of the colour.

I applied the tanner to my body using circular motions.I just used my hands and washed them after,as im not used to using tanning mitts.I was sent a tanning mitt to apply the lotion,which I forgot to add in the photos,but im sure you have all seen it around anyway.

You can apply this tanner to your face which is a bonus.It didn't sit in my pores and because I was smart and applied it when we had a few days of warm weather,people kept telling me I had a really nice tan.haha

Since the photo above was taken,I have re applied about four times.I am such a nice deep colour,but there is nobody around to take a full length photo of me : ( so when I eventually get one,I will do another post.

I nearly forgot to say that it doesn't smell of the usual fake tan stink.This one smells like marzipan.I didn't even smell weird when I woke up the next day.

I honestly have to say I love this tanner.The colour makes my eyes pop,and no matter how much I applied I didnt look orange or streaky.Most importantly I wasn't left looking like a patchwork quilt when began to fade.

I will definitely be ordering a new bottle when this one runs out. RRP £25

Have any of you tried this.What do you think?

St Moriz tanning mousse


Many of you may know about this,if you dont i suggest you jump on the st moriz band wagon..As you can see its clearly a dupe for st tropez,minus the price tag,because at £2.99 for a 200ml bottle,you cant afford not to try this....



As described on the bottle its a" instant bronzing,long lasting,fast drying,no streaks tanning mousse that provides you with a healthy golden tan all year round".

As a previous lover of st stropez,i would say that st moriz does live up to the reviews it has been getting.It goes on easily,dries quick and the guide colour alone gives you a lovely golden glow.

I had to go on a small mission to get mine,once i got my hands on it i couldnt resist stocking up.i really do recomend you give this a try.Its one of the nicest tanners i have used,and i have already converted some of my friends.

I purchased mine from a shop called T.J HUGHS saddly it werent online,but you can click the link to find your nearest store.

Even though its getting cold,its still nice to have a glow
