Face Tanning | St.Tropez Naturals

 

Quite recently St.Tropez launched a new line of tanning products called 'Naturals' aiming to be vegan and full of good ingredients for your skin. The face one especially promised not to block pores and bring out spots. This is exactly why I bought it, usually if I want tanned skin on my face (I am ghostly pale, even a few shades lighter than my body) I sacrifice my skin and almost can guarantee a breakout!

 

Compared to the previous St.Tropez this as you can see is a much thicker lotion and does have a much more natural scent although it is still very strong (a bad point to people who sensitive to headaches etc due to strong scents). It's recommended to be used 2-3 times a week, which is what I did and so far I am very pleased with it! I got natural glowing skin and it didn't seem to make my skin go crazy. I can't vouch for everyone because everyone has different skin so ultimately I would say if you think this is something you were looking for it's probably the best product out there to try first!

 

It's normally priced just under £20 but I found it in my local Savers (for anyone who lives near me) for only £9.99 which is amazing! The sales person couldn't even understand why they stocked in when I asked as it has only been released in Debenhams etc.

Origins Haul & Mini Review | Skincare Routine

Origins has always been a brand I'd heard a lot about and maybe admired from a far, mostly because it's quite expensive. But I finally took the plunge and treated myself to some new skincare. I ordered off the origins website instead of Debenhams because if you spent over £50 you got a choice of deluxe samples, which are the products below!

 



My free deluxe samples:
 

Ginzing Eye Cream (Probably my least favourite product only because I'm not very good with eye creams, I don't particularly need them in my routine yet because of my age and I just forget to use it most nights (an extra 'faff'), nothing wrong with the product itself but I do think it's very overhyped and overpriced)
 

Modern Friction Exfoliator (I like this product but it also isn't ground-breaking for me, one thing I would mention is do not get this in your eyes, hell on earth!)
 

Cheeks and Face Frothy Face Wash (This would be amazing if you have really oily skin, as I have not found a product like it, leaves my skin squeaky clean)
 

Drink up Intensive Overnight Mask (Gorgeous as a treat to your skin, I love the handiness of just popping it on before bed and sleeping in it, fuss free!)

 



 

My full size purchases:

 

Origins Never a Dull Moment Skin Brightening Face Cleanser

First thing I noticed about this cleanser was that it smells gorgeous, because Origins is a natural brand I didn't have high hopes for the scents of the products but this one is right on the description, sweet and fruity. I'm really enjoying using it to take my makeup off and cleanse although I haven't broke out, I also haven't noticed my skin any brighter yet.

 





 

High-Potency Night-a-Mins Mineral Enriched Oil-free Renewal Cream

Another thing I noticed with this product right off the bat was it's scent, smells to me of Jaffa cakes, a lovely sweet orange. To me this is a big positive and I love it! Yes this cream is super expensive (over £30 I think) but a little goes a long way and I think it will last me over 6 months at least. I find it luxurious and moisturising and I haven't had any break outs or problems so far!

 

 

Let me know if you have tried any origins products and what are your favourites! I love hearing peoples opinions on products, it helps a lot!

3 step St.Tropez tanning!

No matter what the month is, if your like me you want to be glowing and tanning.. not orange but just a nice healthy colour...

The St.Tropez 3 step includes:
1 'Body Polisher' aka the exfoliant
2 Body Mosturizer with L-Tyrosine
3 Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion

What St.Tropez say about these products??
Step 1= Uncover smoother, softer skin. St.Tropez Polisher will refine and renew skin to create an even and longer-lasting tan, while leaving your body feeling polished all over. Designed with large round beads that will never rip or tear the skin. It is as beautiful in colour and scent as the French Riviera.

Step 2= St.Tropez Body Moisturizer is a luxurious blend of botanicals, essential oils and herbs, combined with L-Tyrosine in an aloe vera base. For a richer, longer-lasting tan, use daily to replenish lost moisture. This moisturizer was designed to help you achieve maximum tanning potential when using a tanning bed.

Step 3= Indulge yourself with the richest looking tan, in the most luxurious way, without the sun. St.Tropez self-tanning lotion tans instantly and intensifies over 3 hours, for a streakless tan that will last for days. This aloe vera based lotion in nongreasy and quick drying, with a relaxing aromatic scent.

What i say about these products??
Step 1: This is my fav of all 3. It is beautiful in colour, such a bright turquoise and (currently smelling, sooo hard to describe :S) it smells of that fresh, extra clean, almost masculine scent with sweet smells...confusing but i really love it. I leave this bottle in my shower and use it all over my body every few days, it is a great exfoliant with or without tan!

Step 2: This lotion is cream in colour and quite a watery consistency, a little goes a long way..which is great as it is the smallest bottle! It smells on the same lines of the exfoliant but more toned down and for some reason a little more of an 'almond'ey nutty smell.. Its very mosturizing and doesnt leave your skin feeling greasy.

Step 3. I really recommend using this at night and then showering off in the morning as it can peel or become 'bitty' on the skin. It comes out with the same consistancy and colour of melted chocolate and smells a really unfamiliar scent, sort of a mixture of cleaning products and flowers maybe? :S I guess this is better if some people really hate that strong fake tan smell which i for one love haha. Yes I am one of very few!


I really enjoy using these products and i find the final result is great. This pack cost £50 but for a dupe if this is too pricey I always use St.Moriz tanning mousse which was £4.99 from Superdrug and i love this product just as much! Though I would not recommend the St.Moriz Instant tanning Mist as it sprays EVERYWHERE and made a mess...haha.
