April Empties

This is my first empties post so I was quite excited when I realised that I could actually do it. For this month I have:

1. Mac Studio Sculpt NC20

2. Gucci by Gucci

3. James Brown volume conditioner

4. Batiste dry shampoo in graffiti

5. Benefit They're Real mascara

1. Mac Studio Sculpt NC20. This is my favorite foundation it gives me so much coverage even hides my redness and I have to use little concealer when I am wearing this foundation. I am hoping to get it in a different shade next time to tone done the yellowness of it.

Repurchase: Yes but not until New York.

2. Gucci by Gucci. I got this as a present from my boyfriend's mum for my Christmas and it has grown on me. I am always changing my perfume (except my Chanel Chance) because I hate when they become popular and you can smell them off everyone. I normally go for sweet floral perfumes so this was a nice change as it is quite musky, for me anyway. I would say it is a more night time perfume because of the muskiness. 

Repurchase: Probably not but I still have another 30ml to go through.

3. James Brown Volume Conditioner. I have very oily roots and dry ends. This conditioner is a god send as it doesn't dry out my hair and doesn't drag it down unlike some conditioners. It is also really good for the volume as it doesn't make your hair soft that you are not able to do anything with it.

Repurchase: Yes

4. Batiste dry shampoo in graffiti. Every girls best friend especially if your hair takes ages to dry after you wash it so you like to skip a couple of days without washing your hair. I didn't really like the smell of this one it was a bit over bearing and it made my hair more grey than normal. This is the last scent in the collection that I had to try. In my opinion Cherry is the best one it is the nicest smelling one and actually makes your hair smell nice and has the least whiteness.

Repurchase: yes but not this scent.

5. Benefit They're Real mascara. I was so upset when I went to use this mascara and it was all clumped up. I've been using drug store mascara to tide me over until New York but nothing compares to how this separates your eyelashes and lengthens them.

Repurchase: Yes

Primark Beach Look

I am trying to cut down on my spending but I am not doing very well. I was in Primark last week and saw this lovely swimsuit that my mum encouraged me to buy so technically it is her fault! :) I have been wanting a swimsuit for years but never actually bought one. Then when I saw this one for £8 I just had to get it.

                

It is so girly and will be good if I get burnt (most likely) I will be able to cover up for a day or so. I also bought this little sundress for £7 which will be good for going to breakfast or a walk. Has anyone got their summer wardrobe yet?

Back to blogging

I finally got back to blogging after a very long time (nearly a year). I have left uni and start a new course in September so I thought with my time off I should get back to my blog. I decided to start with fake tan as it is hopefully coming into better weather and people will be wanting that bronze look for getting the pins out.


My favourite day to day fake tan is Garnier Summer body. I only started using this in February and I am in love with it. After two days you have a lovely glow and it doesn't take that long to dry in either. The only downside is that it smells quite strong after you have been using it for a couple of days.

Morrisons £2.99

The tan I use whenever I go out is St. Moriz. I adore this simply because it is so cheap and you go brown instantly. It dries so quickly as well so you don't need to worry about waiting ages about going to bed for it drying. If you hate the fake tan smell I would not advise you to buy this as it is quite strong.

Semi-Chem £2.99

                                                                 


Whenever I splurge on fake tan I always buy Xen Tan deep bronze luxe. It smells amazing and gives you this gorgeous colour which is more like an L.A tan rather than a week in Benidorm tan which I would recommend  for people who don't normally wear fake tan as it wont be such a drastic change. I buy it from the sunbed shop Hot but if you don't have one near you you can buy it here and its free delivery.

Hot Taning Salon £21.95

Finally, I stopped putting St.Moriz on my face as my eyebrows were turning ginger and my blackheads really showed up so I bought Garnier face mist in light. For me it was too light, will buy the darker one next time, so I would suggest building it up over a couple of days for a dark look but I cant complain about it no ginger eyeborws or bad blackheads. It was on special in boots and I cannot remember for the life of me how much I paid for it was just over £5 I think.

Boots £5+

Have you tried any of there tans? Let me know what your favourite tan is!
