Cocoa Brown Anyone?

"Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter – 1 HOUR TAN is a revolutionary, express, self-tan mousse that develops into a beautiful, natural-looking tan in just 1 hour!"

So here i am, after about 2/3 months of disappearing with the stress and study of school.( Don't kill me:( ) So for this post i was really thinking of what i should do next, since its just after Christmas i haven't really bought anything new but i have so many ideas from my Christmas presents, so i cant wait to let you see what i got.

A few weeks ago  i was in pennys/primark and in panic to try and find tan for my first night out as it was my birthday, i normally get the St.Morriz tan in dark but they had none left so i had to get the coco brown tan. I was a bit iffy as the first time i got this, after about 2 uses it started to come out as a liquid instead of a mouse and that turned me off it completely!But there was so much positive reviews on this tan that I just had to give it another try.

But i am now ADDICTED, it is literally the most perfect shade of tan, no streaks, no horrific smell, no orange tinge. I also bought the tough stuff body scrub which was amazing. Initially i thought it wouldn't be enough to really get a good use but i was amazed that i only used not even half in my shower before i put the tan on and the rest to take it off. The longevity in this tan is outstanding even after 2/3 showers a week later i still have a nice natural tan.

And don't worry any pale girls out there it is perfect, i'm quite pale and it doesn't look dirty or orange. It is so perfect for both already tanned girls and pale girls. Make sure you give it a good shake before using. So I applied about 2 layers with my pennys/primark tan mit ( they also do coco brown mits ;) ) after exfoliating in the shower and moisturizing. Then left it develop over night and the next day I had a quick body shower and applied another layer on my legs because for some reason tan never stays below my knee.

The scent is not like other tans, it is subtle and doesn't make you feel paranoid about smelling like tan if you were late and had to throw it on an hour before you go out. That is what is also so great about this tan, its fast developing so if you decided last minute you were gonna go out all you do is throw on a layer or two depending on your own preference and you're ready to go!

I would highly recommend this tan to everyone! For only €8 where can you go wrong!

My Favourite Drugstore Mascaras

So here it is my first ever blog-post! For my first post I decided to talk about my favourite beauty item, something I could never live without.Whether I am going to town or school or anywhere, mascara is a must! I don't know whether it is to do with my love for big lashes or that I have naturally blonde eyelashes I just always have to have some mascara on.

Throughout the years of loving makeup I have tried quite a few mascaras, from high end mascaras to the drugstore favourites. But overall drugstore mascaras have been the best. All these drugstore mascaras I have all bought in boots.

The first mascara I am going to review is one of the most favourite mascara choices throughout the world and especially among the beauty guru family. It is the maybelline falsies mascara by maybelline. This mascara is perfect for making my eyelashes very dramatic looking and insanely black, I must say I do prefer putting an elongating mascara on first just to get the full effect of the mascara. Because my eyelashes are blonde I love the blackness of this mascara and the way it shows the fullness of my eyelashes that you couldn't really see normally.

The second mascara is also in the same brand as the mascara I just reviewed, it is the one by one mascara by maybelline. This is by far my favourite maybelline mascara, it gives such length to my eyelashes and the thickness can be built up so easily without clumps. Another thing that also made it my favourite is that the root of my lashes were also coated which is normally a problem for me.

My current favourite mascara is the miss sporty's pump up mascara booster in 001 black, I love the length and thickness it gives my eyelashes. It's very black and very cheap. The downsides to this mascara is that its very wet so it takes longer to dry and it might get onto your under eye area which is very annoying. My mother has been using the waterproof version of this mascara and finds that it doesn't smudge down under the lashes which is a bonus to people that this happens to. Valued at €4.99 it is worth the try!!
