Crazy Angel Midnight Tan Duo

If you missed it on my other Crazy Angel post, don't forget to prep before you tan!

Here is a simple pre tan guide...

• Exfoliate the night before your tan, concentrate on rough/dry areas of the body, such as your knees, elbows, wrists, hands, feet, neck and hairline.
• On the day of your tan DO NOT apply any body products or make up and have a shower, washing only the bits that you need to!
• Apply moisturiser to the dry/rough areas you exfoliated, as this helps the tanning product glide over the skin, and stops clinging in these areas.
• Always use a tanning mitt to apply your product, it gives a much better finish and a flawless application.
• Leave your tan on for as long as possible before showering, usually 8-12 hours gives an even better result.
• When showering the next day your colour guide will wash off, do not be alarmed, you will be left with a golden glow!
• After your post tan shower PAT your body dry, never rub as you risk ruining your tan.
• Moisturise daily to prolong the life of your tan & exfoliate on day 4, and 7 to ensure an even fade & to prevent patches.

The Crazy Angel Midnight Tan Duo, consists of Halo Body Polish and Midnight Kiss Medium/Dark Tanning Lotion.

The Halo Polish is a gorgeous pre tan exfoliator and it smells the same as the tanning lotion, super fruity and yummy, and the colour is delicious!

So I started off with a generous dollop of this stuff...

It contains tiny exfoliating beads, that wont damage the skin, it will simply prep it ready for the tanning lotion.

The Crazy Angel Midnight Kiss lotion is a lovely consistency and gives the most beautiful golden olive tan, thanks to its 8% DHA!

 I am a tan addict so the darker the better for me, but without looking false is what I go for. I am usually a Lauren's Way fan, but I have to say I am seriously impressed by Crazy Angel Tan.

It melts into the skin effortlessly and leaves no streaks, I used the Crazy Angel Mitt to ensure even application.

After application, a beautiful colour!

I hate it when I apply a tan and the colour all washes down the plug hole the following morning, I can safely say this is not the case with Crazy Angel, it really gives you a gorgeous colour after the first shower.

I hope Crazy Angel fades well, if so I will definitely be buying this again, really good quality, great colour and fast delivery.

Crazy Angel Express Tan Duo

If you have not yet had the Crazy Angel experience then you need to try this stuff.

Crazy Angel were kind enough to send me these tanning duo kits, all you need to get bronzed!

I cannot stress enough how important prepping your skin is before tanning as your results really do depend on how well you prepare the skin.

If your not sure on prep here is a simple guide...

• Exfoliate the night before your tan, concentrate on rough/dry areas of the body, such as your knees, elbows, wrists, hands, feet, neck and hairline.
• On the day of your tan DO NOT apply any body products or make up and have a shower, washing only the bits that you need to!
• Apply moisturiser to the dry/rough areas you exfoliated, as this helps the tanning product glide over the skin, and stops clinging in these areas.
• Always use a tanning mitt to apply your product, it gives a much better finish and a flawaless application.
• Leave your tan on for as long as possible before showering, usually 8-12 hours gives an even better result.
• When showering the next day your colour guide will wash off, do not be alarmed, you will be left with a golden glow!
• After your post tan shower PAT your body dry, never rub as you risk ruining your tan.
• Moisturise daily to prolong the life of your tan & exfoliate on day 4, and 7 to ensure an even fade & to prevent patches.

I couldnt wait to test this stuff, so I grabbed a friend and we got tanning!

Crazy Angel Express Tan Duo £24.95, Consists of Tan Extending Moisturiser, Fast Tan Liquid and a Mitt.

On my friend I used the Crazy Angel Fast Acting Liquid Tan, I have never used a liquid tan before and the concistency scared me a little, but i am amazed at how easily it went on to the skin.

The mitt included in this kit is gorgeous, super smooth velvet to the touch, and feels really luxiourious to use, simply pop a bit of liquid on the mitt and smooth on to the skin.

The liquid is really easy to apply and melts into the skin, it has a colour to it so you can see exactly where you have applied it.

The smell of the Crazy Angel Tanning products is consistent throughout the range, and it seriously smells delicious! As you fake tan addicts will be all to familiar with the biscuity smell whilst developing you could literally apply this and get dressed and go out as it smells really nice, Infused with Bearberry and Shea Butter it also feels really kind to skin, and very moisturising too.

I was most impressed witht the fact that there was no real dry time with this liquid, it states on the bottle to wait 5 mins before getting dressed but by the time youve applied it to your whole body you will be good to go.

I would say that by the 8/10 hour mark you will get a slight whiff of tan come through, but its really not as strong as some other tanning products on the market.

Here is my friends skin immedietly after application...

My friend is really pleased with her colour, we will be waiting to see how it fades!

Once again HUGE thank you to Crazy Angel Tan for my samples, love your products!

Head over to Crazy Angel Tan HERE and treat your self, fantastic customer service & amazing products.

Let me know if you've tried Crazy Angel Tan, would love to hear your views!

Rihanna Rebelle

I was very kindly sent the brand new Rihanna 'Rebelle' Fragrance to try, I loved her first perfume & this certainly did not disappoint.

Top notes encompass plum, strawberry and ginger; a heart offers vanilla orchid, heliotrope and cocoa absolute, while a base features a trail of musk, coffee, patchouli and amber, making it perfect for the spring/summer seasons.

The bottle is absolutely stunning, so simple yet very bold, the design is based on a stiletto heel, Rihanna's fave shoe choice!
I always get compliments on this fragrance when I wear it.

If you like sweet perfumes then I am sure you will love this, chocolatey, toffee, sugary goodness you'll literally smell good enough to eat. It is a parfum, and a little goes a long way, so it's fantastic value for money.

Rebelle hit Superdrug stores & online http://www.superdrug.com/rihanna-rebelle-edp-50ml/invt/411452/on March the 7th, and is available in the following sizes:

30ml £20.00

50ml £30.00

100ml £37.50

Body Lotion £18.95



Will you be purchasing Rihanna's new fragrance?

Avon Sleeptherapy

If like me you struggle to switch off at night, I might have found the drug free solution!

I have recently been testing out Avon's range of Sleeptherapy products.

I have been using the Goodnight Pillow Mist, which retails at £4.50 & Sleeptherapy Sleep Balm which retails at £3.00.

So easy to use, the pillow mist you simply spray 2-3 times on your pillow & allow it to dry, the fragrance is so soothing and really helps you relax and drift into a deep sleep.

The balm is lovely on the skin not oily or greasy at all & is perfect applied to your wrists, I like smelling it as im relaxing in bed.

I was worried the products would be lavender scented, although there is a slight whiff of lavender in both its not the main fragrance, so even if you cant stand the smell you will be just fine to use these!

Finally a little something to help us get extra beauty sleep!

Nailene SensatioNail

If you are a fan of Shellac, but not the price you'd pay at a salon, then you may want to invest in this amazing kit from Nailene.

Nailene SensatioNail Kit

Nailene Pro LED Lamp

A SENSATIONAIL manicure works out around £5.77 rather than the £25 per manicure from a salon. 

The starter kit comes complete with everything you need to complete TEN sets of nails. 

The compact PRO 360 LED lamp harnesses LED light technology to safely flash harden the SENSATIONAIL gel polish, sealing in the colour for a radiant finish, with zero dry time.

It launched in Boots on the 12th of March, and has been a huge hit!
It retails at £85, but you will get 10 full sets from the products in the kit, and the lamp is included!

So comparing the price of under £6 for a a manicure, where you'd normally pay £25, it's fantastic value for money.

So here is the kit, I wanted you to see everything you get, hence all the pictures!

I could not wait to get started, and my first attempt has turned out great! Its so easy to do, if you can paint your own nails neatly then you will be able to use this kit with no problems at all. 

It comes complete with fool proof instructions, and i did my fingers first and then my thumbs, just to ensure they cured properly.

And here they are all done, shiny, healthy looking, glossy, damage proof nails!

The shade in my kit is Raspberry Wine, and you can also buy Scarlet Red, currently these are the only 2 shades on sale here in the UK.

I will take a picture after 14 days to show you how it wears on the nails, and I will also be testing how easy removal is too.

The colour is absolutely stunning & has a slight fleck through it, I have captured the polish in the sun to try and show you the colour in different lights.

Nailene are due to release 12 more colours in may, and an essentials kit so that you can top up on the bits you need to replenish.

I am so excited about this stuff, and i have some fab ideas to blog about, so watch this space!

Are you tempted by SensatioNail? Let me know if you give it a try!

Vintage Pout

If you don't own one of these lip balms, then you better get one quick, as the super cute girly design & the all natural organic lip balm are sure to be a big hit with women all over the UK.

I was lucky enough to discover Vintage Pout via Twitter & Michelle, owner of the company was so kind and sent me a one of her lip balms to review.

I couldn't get the package open quick enough when it arrived, and I opened it to find this luxurious little pouch, and inside like a little bag of diamonds was this beautiful Vintage Pout Lip Balm Tin.....

These beautiful tins are available in five stunning designs, there is something for every taste, you can even get it refilled for £5 so your tin will never be empty!

 They come complete with a mirror & these balms are definitely for showing off.....

Here is what Michelle had to say when I interviewed her on her balms.....

So Michelle how did Vintage Pout start?

I have always loved vintage accessories due to my love of the glamour of the old Hollywood era as shown in films such as Gentlemen prefer Blonde's, Breakfast at Tiffany's etc. From when I was a little girl I loved nothing better than going to charity shops and car boot sales collecting vintage brooches, jewellery and pill boxes. 

 And where did you get the idea/your inspiration from?

About 5 years ago I did a diploma in Aromatherapy and fell in love with making my own products using organic ingredients and the finest essential oils. One day I was making a lip balm for a friend and wanted to put it in a case worthy of the ingredients instead of a plastic tub, so I went for a rummage in my jewellery box and pulled out one of the pill boxes. My friend loved it and the idea for Vintage Pout was born. As vintage pill boxes can be quite expensive I decided to develop a range of beautiful jewelled pill boxes that everyone could afford.

Do you hand make the tins & lip balm? 

After many many months of searching, I found an international supplier who makes high quality pill boxes up to my specification and we are currently working together on a few exciting design ideas!

I make the lip balms up in my kitchen! As business has increased I have started to use a specialist organic company to make up batches of the lip balm up for me so that I can get the pill boxes filled quicker and out to the customers.

Have any celebrities been seen with your balm? 

I only officially started trading in December so I haven't sent out many celebrity gifts as yet but as a scouser I just had to send the lovely scousewives one each and those that have received them have all tweeted to thank me, Debbie O'Toole even tweeted a pic!

My dream celebs to own one of my lip balms would be Paloma Faith, Fearne Cotton or Alexa Chung..I can dream!

Perfect as a treat for your girly friends, mum, sister etc, if you can bare to give it away!


You can get your very own Vintage Pout Balm for just from the website direct: 

http://www.vintagepout.com/default.html and you can find them on Twitter @VintagePout and on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vintage-Pout/112965518813742

Priced at just £14, I really feel these are superb value for money, because the tins are made to such a high quality, and the attention to detail really makes this feel like a luxury product.

And don't forget Michelle offers a refill service, so you'll never be without your Vintage Pout, the lip balm is so refreshing, and feels light and very moisturising with a gentle peppermint hint to it. 

Huge thank you to the gorgeous Michelle for allowing me to review her company, Vintage Pout is the hottest place to get yourself a vintage glam lip balm!

17 Primer & Concealer

 I'll admit I've never really taken much notice of  17 Make Up in Boots, but recently I have tried a couple of bits, and they are amazing! 

Currently, and very regularly on 3 for 2 it makes it so affordable to fill your make up bag. 

The products I'm loving at the moment are: 

17 Photo Flawless Primer

£4.99

 

This primer is amazing! Glides on to the skin and leaves it feeling like satin, your concealer & foundation will stay put all day with this as a base, with no need for touch ups. It blurs fine lines, masks large pores & imperfections. I have tried loads of primers, and I must say I'm really impressed by this, well worth the money.

17 Hide & Chic Concealer

£4.99

The right eye has been concealed, the left eye has not, and it really makes a difference, especially teamed with my Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation.

 

This is available in three different shades, the Light Rose shade works perfectly with my skin tone, again I have tried loads of concealers and light reflecting pens to lift my dark circles, and I am over the moon that this stuff has restored my confidence and masks the bags! It feels light, cooling, and non greasy on the delicate eye area. I will be keeping this in my make up bag forever.

Do you use 17 Make Up? If so what are your wonder products?

Smokey Eye Tutorial

A lot of you have been asking me to do a smokey eye tutorial, and suggesting products that will make it easier for you to create, so here is my review on the Models Own Smokey Eye Palette in Sultry.

This palette is split into 3 shades & comes complete with the brushes you'll need to recreate this look. 

Start by prepping your eye with your regular primer, this will help give your smokey eye real staying power! 

Cover from your lash line to your brow bone in the lightest shade using your index finger, and then using the angled brush use the medium shadow to draw a sideways 'U' shape like so....

 The line needs to stop halfway along your lash line and about 1cm from the inner corner of your eyelid, then blend lightly just to soften the line.

Next you need to take the darkest shadow and bring the 'U' shape up further, adding shading, also you need to line your lash line right the way across and underneath, I used the angled brush wet for a better effect.

Then you need to blend, blend, blend! And your lid should look like this...

Add lashings of mascara and eyeliner for a more dramatic effect...

My right eye has no eyeliner on the water line, and the left eye does, wanted to show you the difference in the effect you can achieve, its really up to you!

Smokey Eyes

I really hope this how to guide is easy for you all to follow, any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I would also like to point out that you need to ensure your brows are groomed well for this look, my brows are HD and would highly recommend them! 

The Models Own Smokey Eye Kit is available in Boots, or via the Models Own website for just £8, complete with the brushes you need! This really is easy to follow, give it a go.
