Top Tans...

It's coming into summer over here in Australia and, unfortunately, I'm stuck inside working everyday rather than working on my tan on the beach. But that's life. And that's why, I believe, they invented fake tan. I need to get bronzed somehow so I've turned to the bottle...

The Palmers Natural Bronze gradual tanning moisturizer is holy grail in my eyes. Yes it smells a bit strong (my poor boyfriend hates it) but the colour is so natural and wears the best out of any gradual tanners I've tried. I apply this twice a week (say Sunday and Wednesday night) with lots of moisturising and a gentle exfoliation on the days in-between. 

I can't believe I'm about to admit this but this is the first St.Tropez item I've ever tried. I know, I know, call yourself a beauty blogger.... I wouldn't say I was completely blown away with this considering the price tag (although I did get it on the Feel Unique sale) but it's a really subtle colour if I'm not wanting anything too dramatic. I actual find that if I apply this after I've been in the sun, it enhances my real tan while giving me a bit of extra colour in a super natural way. Also...smells really inoffensive for a tan!

Le Tan instant Fast Tan in Deep Bronze isn't so much 'Instant' but it's definitely 'Deep Bronze'. If I apply one layer of this at lunch time, by the evening I look like I've done two weeks in the sun and then some! It does transfer onto clothes a bit so probably avoid white but for a quick fix I adore this. If you shower then moisturise the next day, you're still left with a light bronze colour that looks perfect with a sun dress and sandals for the daytime.

What's everyone else's tan recommendations?

Little grey dress OOTD...

 

 

Dress - Valley Girl (Australia)

Shirt - Primark

Boots - Dr Martens 

Bag - Australian market

Necklace and rings - Primark

Watch and sunglasses - ASOS

This dress was so inexpensive I picked one up in most colours. They're going to be great for summer when I'm down the beach to throw over a bikini, and I'll bring them home to layer up with tights and chunky cardigans for the UK winter.

NOTD....

Hi girls,  hope you’ve all been enjoying the sun today. It’s amazing how a little bit or sunshine can make everyone so much more positive and happy.

It’s also making me want to change my nail varnish ways….away from blacks/reds etc and on to brighter colours. You may have seen I’ve bought a few recently but I picked this one up a few weeks ago and never really tried it but I have to say I love it! It’s a beauty UK polish which are actually brilliant, it needed two coats but then I always find that with any colour other than black (hence it’s over use in my life).

(sorry they're messy!!)

Also a quick snap of me this morning before I went to work (to sit in the windowless cave that is the PR office). I went for my New Look palazzo pants finally, I’ve had them since April and haven’t worn them yet!

Top: Primark

Trousers: New Look

Watch: ASOS

Rings: Dorothy perkins and Primark

Necklaces: Primark and H&M

Fingers crossed we get this weather for a bit longer!
