*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. Its that time of year again where we are getting closer to the warmer weather and holidays in sunny climates are on the horizon and I will be getting my pale and pasty legs out again, which haven't seen the light of day since last summer.  I must admit I don't really tan very well anyway, so even if the sun's out I need a bit of help to get that sun-kissed glow.  Step in St Moriz Luxury Creme Whipped Mousse*.   Its easy to apply, with either an applicator mitt or glove and then just blend well in circular motions.  You can use this on your body and face. Make sure you bend your knees and elbows to avoid streaks.  Make sure its dry before dressing and then your tan will start to develop after 1 hour.  It will continue to develop for up to 8 hours so depending on your preference just wash off when you get the tan you are looking for.   It contains Vitamin E to lock in hydration and ...

  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. Its that time of year when I barely go outside when its light.  I wake up and start work when its dark and I finish work when its already dark, so to say I am a bit pale is an understatement.  I'm giving Wednesday Addams a run for her money in terms of who is paler.    Luckily I was sent the St Moriz 1 Hour Fast Tan Mousse & Tanning Mitt Set* to try out which was perfect timing. St Moriz 1 Hour Fast Tan Mousse* is great if you like a quick fix tan (which I do) as it allows you to control your shade. It contains Aloe Vera and Vitamin E which helps leave your skin super soft. You can choose to have a light sunkissed glow by leaving the product on for 1 hour, or for a golden glow leave on 2 hours, or for a deep bronzed look leave on for 3 hours. Get the glow you want by leaving it on for the appropriate amount of time. Its as simple as that. To apply make sure that you exfoliate and shave ...

     *I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. Did you know that St. Moriz was now available at Primark?  I didn't until I was kindly sent some products to try out.  I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of the range when I next visit a Primark store.  I don't know about anyone else but we might have had the usual British bursts of hot weather, but my tan is nowhere to be seen.  Even in summer I really need the help of a self tanner to get my glow on. The Medium Instant Tanning Mousse * has a unique blend of active tanning agents which are enriched with Coconut Oil to help to keep your skin silky smooth and your tan looking flawless. The instant colour guide will help you achieve a streak free finish and an instant bronzed glow which will develop over 4-6 hours to leave you with a natural-looking golden tan. Its easy to apply, just exfoliate skin and ensure any existing tan is removed, moisturise dry areas of the skin (knee...

   *I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. Regular readers of my blog will know how much I enjoy using St. Moriz Tanning products, so I wanted to share some more products from this brand.  The St. Moriz 1 Hour Fast Tan Lotion* gives you a choice of how tanned you become.  If you leave this product on for 1 hour you will have a light sun-kissed glow, leave it on for 2 hours for a golden glow and 3 hours for a deeper bronzed tone.  I love this product because some days you just want a light tan for a fresh, healthy glow and other times you want to go all out with a deeper tanned look. Its so simple to use as you just wash away the guide colour once you have achieved the colour tone you are aiming for. Brilliant. The St. Moriz Spray Tan In A Can* in the shade medium is a 360 degree spray that makes it easy to reach all those awkward to reach areas of your body. It dries within minutes and the tan begins to develop after 1 hour and will cont...

  *I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. St. Moriz is  definitely one of my favourite self tanning brands, so I was happy to try out some more of their products. Now that summer is nearly here, I do like to up my self-tanning game, so I love using St. Moriz products to get my glow on. I always worry about self-tanning my face as there is no hiding it if things go wrong. The St. Moriz Clear Complexion Face Tanning Mist* in medium contains salicylic acid which helps prevent breakouts whilst leaving you with a natural, radiant glow. It contains Aloe Vera & Vitamin E which is great for sensitive skins.  You can apply it daily and for best results make sure you moisturise your skin on the run up to applying it and exfoliate the day before. Cleanse and dry your face and then hold the bottle approximately 20cm from your face (close your eyes!!!) and lightly spray the mist evenly over your face, neck and chest area. A light tan develops in 8 hours an...

     *I received these products for free but the opinions are my own.

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I have tried a few St. Moriz tanning products recently and I really like this reasonably priced brand that makes self tanning really easy. I have now tried the St. Moriz Miracle Tanning Serum* and its a product that I really enjoyed using.  First of all I have never used a tanning serum before, so I was interested to see how it worked. This serum contains collagen boosting, skin firming hyaluronic acid for extra hydration and a smooth feel. It helps to reduce the effects of aging and reduce skin imperfections and I am all about that right now. This serum gives an instant glow and then gradually builds into a lovely bronzed glow. This product was easy to use and produced a streak free tan and left my skin feeling nourished and hydrated. It is recommended that you exfoliate 24 hours before application and then use a small amount on a tanning mitt to blend into the skin.  You can use this on your face and body which i...

*I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. I have reviewed St. Moriz self tanning products* a few months ago which you can read  here and it's definitely one of my favourite self tanning brands, so I was happy to try out a few more of their products. The St. Moriz Colour Correct Medium Tanning Mousse* is a self tanner with olive undertones which helps to neutralise any red tones in the skin. Its transfer resistant and the instant colour lasts all day and then washes off to reveal a natural, just back from your holidays, sunkissed tan, which leaves you glowing even on the most rainy, dull day here in the UK. It contains chamomile, hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 ensuring that your skin feels hydrated after using this product. Its recommended that you exfoliate and shave 24 hours prior to using this product, then simply apply the mousse using the St. Moriz Velvet Tanning Mitt *, using a circular motion on your body and face, to blend the product into your skin....

   *I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. Like a lot of people over the last couple of years I haven't been on my usual summer holiday to a hotter climate (hopefully these types of trips will be back for most of us soon), so when I was sent some St Moriz self tanning products* it was very welcome as I am looking very pale and pasty. St Moriz Original Perfect Pins Airbrush Mist * - £4.99 This is a spray on lightweight mist which is fast drying, transfer resistant and is easily washed off at the end of the day.  This is perfect for that unexpected hot summer day where you suddenly have the opportunity to get your legs out which have been hidden most of the year.  I must admit I very rarely wear shorts in this country but this was a great product to use when we had the heatwave a few weeks back.  It gave me a natural looking tan on my legs and was quick and easy to apply and didn't leave stains anywhere (the most important thing with self ...

I have a love/hate relationship with self tanning products.  I like my skin to have a lovely glow, rather than looking pasty white, but sometimes the effort of applying self tanning products is just too much for this self-confessed lazy girl. Now as a person who doesn't tan well (even in the heatwave we had in the UK this summer and when I have been on a 2 week holiday in Orlando), fake tan is a product that I need if I want to have any chance of a decent tan.     I received some tanning products by St. Moriz* to try out, so I thought I would give them a go.  I was imagining a streaky, orange mess on my legs and stains on my clothes (from past experiences when I was younger and products were not as advanced as they are now), but I ended up being very happy with the results and especially with the ease of application. Lets start of with the St. Moriz Professional Gradual Golden Glow Tanning Moisturiser * (£4.99 for 200ml). Gradual tanning/moisturising produc...
