Casper...be gone!

It's that time of year where your last holiday feels like a life time ago, the sun is pretty much point blank refusing to come out and the odd occasions it makes an appearance O.M.G it is cold out there!!

So to avoid all pastiness and resemblance of Casper the oh so friendly ghost, it was time to crack open the fake tan!!

I am a self proclaimed fake tan Junkie...I have tried ALOT. Some very good and some terrible!
Vita Liberata has to be my all tan favourite tan...ever. But sometimes the purse strings just say no! You are looking at roughly £20 per bottle, it is a tinted lotion so nice and easy to apply as you can see the pesky white bits that your mitt just hadn't reached.

Normally I only buy tan in dark...I don't see the point in going to all that effort to just be bronze. At the moment though I'm really struggling to get the right colour...so I combined!!

St Moriz is a fabulous brand and affordable for everyone..it's available at most supermarkets and generally about £3- £5 per bottle! It comes in medium or dark and either a mousse or lotion.
Personally I can't get a long with mousse so always opt for the lotion.
They recently released a gradual tan which is lovely and very moisturising.
The only negative I would say is the smell, it's quite strong while it's developing so I tend to apply it before bed.

Garner released their summer body lotion a while ago now, maybe even 2 years ago?! It smells looooooooverly! Kind of like apricots, it also dries really quickly and develops really evenly. It is always on offer somewhere, I got mine for £3 at superdrug. B.A.R.G.A.I.N

For this early in spring I think the Garnier is a little yellow toned, but the St Moriz is just too dark - god I never thought I would ever say that a tan was too dark!

So because I'm super cool with a huge social life, I spent my Saturday mixing the perfect tan shade! you want a larger ratio of the two gradual tans and then a good old squirt of tan! Once mixed, colour wise you want it to look like melted milk chocolate!!

Obviously this is only my recommendation so mix it as your wish....or just be like everyone else and use one straight from the bottle!

Either way, lets all leave the Casper look behind....let face it, it was never going to catch on anyway!
