Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

  *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. 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 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. 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 ...
