Okay, so as promised here is my fake tan review. To be honest though I have probably picked the worst time to do this, as if you live in Britain it is raining and cold, and everyone probably wants to be wrapped up and in a pair of sweats than have their legs on show, but ho hum we can only pray! Anyway on with the review...

INSTANT TAN-
So this is the put it on and go tan. Quick and easy, it lasts a day and washes off when you shower. I have tried brands such a Rimmel and whilst they are perfectly good they are more expensive than the one that I use which unvelieveably is from Primark! Now some of you may be presume, what is she thinking?! But trust me Primark instant tan is actually rather good and only cost me an unbelievable 50p in the sale! It lasts well and has a good finish to it. You can buy it in matte or shimmer depending on what you like. Overall I would give this 4 out of 5.

Wear Off Tan-
So for my normal wear off tan I use St.Moriz. St.Moriz is basically a much cheaper version of St.Tropez. I haven't been using it too long but so far I would say it was really quite good for the price. I find the guide colour is quite orangey and can sometimes be a little patchy, but sometimes it looks quite good. Once you have showered off the guide colour it does leave behind a colour that is quite natural but I don't think it is that strong. I don't know if it because I bought medium and could have done with dark that it really isn't that strong, but I do have pale skin and was expecting more. Also it has the very common 'fake tan smell' to it, which I have to say isn't really that pleasant! It was £2.99 from Savers. Overall I would give this 3.5 out of 5.

GRADUAL TAN-

I don't often like using gradual tan as I can't see the colour I am putting on. I am always nervous that it will come out patchy or streaky and so therefor don't use it alot. If I do use it though I would use Garnier Summer Body. It doesn't smell like fake tan when applied (which is always a bonus!) and leaves your skin nice and soft. I wouldn't say the colour is that strong at first but I can see how you could build up a nice healthy glow. I don't think it is that streaky but I think it just depends on how you apply it sometimes. Overall I would give this 4/5.

Many people probably have so many different things on their bed side tables, so I thought I would show you what vintage tins and beauty products etc. I have!

L-R Vintage tin containing make-up brushes, Vintage Coca-Cola tin containing my make-up, skincare products and this months ELLE magazine.

Vintage Tin

Products from L-R - Clinique turn around body, body smoothing cream; Clinique Moisture Surge extended thirst relief and Clinique superdefense SPF 25 age defence moisturiser. I love these products as I unfortunately suffer from the dreaded dry skin and these moisturisers give my skin a real boost. I recommend the Moisture Surge as it is really cooling when applied and leaves your skin really rather soft!

Bedside Table

Vintage Tin which I think was my great-grandmothers! It has a beautiful floral pattern on it and I now use it to hold my make-up brushes, lipstick etc.

Recently I have been in utter love with earrings. I would love to buy so many pairs and just wear them all the time, but seeing as 1. Money doesn't grow on trees and 2. I think my ears would start to hurt if I wore them 24/7, I thought I would show you some of my favourites that I have seen on-line recently. You will probably notice a pattern emerging as my strong love is for drop earrings but studs are still a great jewellery staple! I think drop earrings look really good with messy long hair but look equally as cool with a bob or cropped hair. My favourites of them all are shown with an 'LV hearts logo' (Love Vintage hearts). I love the idea of an ear cuff at the moment so the leaf ear cuffs from New Look at £3.99 appear to be an absolute bargain, also the little boho cuffs from River Island £4, that have a cross and a peace sign on them are super cute! The leaf/feather...(i'm not sure what you'd call it- you make the choice!) are beautiful and a bargain at £3 from River Island. I also love cross earrings at the moment as they can look a bit rock-chick-esque and they are only £4 form Topshop. One pair which I am dying to buy are the drop arrow pointed ones from New Look and they are an amazing price at only £4.99! If you would like to know where any of the others come from (as I didn't want to bore you sitting here listing prices!) please feel free to comment and let me know and I will be more than happy to tell you!

So recently I picked up these beautiful round sunnies in Primark for an amazing £2! I saw them featured on LOOK's website and just had to get myself a pair! They have a beautiful tortoise shell pattern and look dramatically round when worn!

So as the weather has been a lot nicer recently I thought I would buy this gorgeous white, detailed dress. It is so cute and has beautiful chest detailing. It has a keyhole back and a small tie at the front. It look effortlesy amazing and was such a baragin! One thing I would say though is buy it a size or two up, as I can usually wear size 6-8 but I bought this in a size ten as it looks much more flattering when more loose. Also it is quite tight around the stomach in a smaller size. Perfect for lazy afternoons in the sun or over a Bikini on the beach!
Dress £6 Primark.

So today, I opened the front door, stepped over the mat and was greeted by this months ELLE magazine. My heart skipped a beat when I saw a beautiful mint green fabric peeking out from behind the plastic. I immediately grabbed it an unwrapped this amazing parcel. To my surprise, folded beautifully was the most gorgeous mint green, soft fabric vest by REISS. I couldn't believe it and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I have a monthly subscription to ELLE magazine so I don't know if this vest is just for subscribers or if anyone who buys the magazine gets it. If anyone else has received this please let me know if they do it in other sizes and colours ( I would say the size that was sent is about a 6-8!). I don't know exactly how much this would have cost but I looked on the website and a similar one costs around £29!
