Hello Lovelies,
I have a confession...about the Tan Ban.
Yes...I'm afraid I failed.
Miserably.
I don't know what I was thinking at the time but I must have forgotten how much I hate being pale. I am literally see-through without some tan on and when I'm not tanned I just don't feel all that confident. I hate how pale I actually am, now don't get me wrong I don't want to go out looking like a shade of mahogany but I like the sun-kissed, healthy look! Also is it just me but I feel skinnier and happier with my body when I'm tanned!
Anyway...just so you all don't think I'm a total failure at life I thought I would do a little review on the tan I have been using lately.
Now you've all heard about it a million times but yes I also love it, it is the infamous St Moriz. So similar to St Tropez its funny but the price tag is so much kinder on the pocket!
I have been using the shade medium in this. Before my tan ban I was hardcore and used dark, but lately I feel that the medium is a much more natural colour and if I want to pump things up abit for a night out (cause I go out so much doncha know?) I have the option of using the dark.
My favourite formula is the moouse. I think it's the easiest, you put it on (I normally put it on before bedtime) let it develop and then wash the excess off and it leaves you with a lovely even colour. I've never had any problems with streaking or anything like that. I apply mine with a tanning mitt (avoiding dodgy orange palms!) that I usually pick up in Pennies/Primark.
It gives a gorgeous colour, the only thing I would say about the moouse is that it is really drying on my skin, so be sure to have a good moisturiser to hand!
I normally pick this up for about €4-5 depending on where I get it. Completely bargainous and I will repurchase this over and over again.
So there is my little review, I hope you can forgive me for failing quite miserably on my tan ban!
I dont think I could possibly ever have a tan ban- its like a security blanket!
ReplyDeleteI am loving St Tropez dark at the moment Ive reviewed it recently.

I love St Tropez, If it was only abit cheaper haha xx
DeleteI love this! I agree the mousse one is the best although the lotion one is quite good as well :) I actually prefer st moriz to st tropez and obviously the price is so much better as well! haha xx
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try the lotion, I can't get it anywhere near me though! :(xx
DeleteWow a tan ban...I do admire the dedication lol!! x
ReplyDeleteHaha a failed tan ban but a tan ban none the less!
DeleteI feel the same way! So much more confident when I'm tan. I'm very pale with a lot of redness. I know exactly what you mean by a natural tan healthy glow kinda thing :) ps I feel thinner too tan!
ReplyDeleteI couldnt deal with being pale all the time, I dont look good at all haha xxx
DeleteI know what you mean about feeling thinner when you're tan! I love the St. Moriz. It's also similar to Sugar Baby but soo much cheaper xx
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Sugar Baby :O I must investigate! xx
DeleteOh god I couldn't last without a bit of tan, well done for lasting for any time at all! I've actually never tried St. Moriz but I think I'll give it a go now :) xx
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! awh you will love it, its so cheap and does the job brilliantly! xx
