Too Faced - Tanning Bed In A Tube

One of Too Faced's best sellers is 'Tanning Bed In A Tube', as a devotee of Benefit's Jiffy Tan myself I was very impressed with this product.. It works in a similar way as the classic 'Jiffy' & gives you an instant bronze on the skin however it has the extra benefit of some self tan too so it will build a gradual light tan as you use, excellent!!! Best tip is to blend thoroughly especially on pale skin, it's looks very dark when it comes out the tube but blends into a natural bronze shimmer... It won't rub off on you clothes either or streak (most importantly!!) also it smells good enough to eat - like a Caribbean cocktail!!!! Also a make-up artist favourite, available from Boots £16.

Brand New - Maybelline Dream Sun Glow Range

Just in time for summer Maybelline have launched their new Dream Sun Glow range, this consists a shimmer bronzing make-up, pressed bronzing powder, a bronzing mouse & bronzing booster droplets as well as a moisturiser.
Firstly the Instant Shimmering Bronzing Make-up, this is great for nights out & is easy to apply (best applied to well moisturised skin as any areas of dry skin may show up), it is blended into the skin to give a light pearlescent finish & washes off easily with your face wash. The Mouse Bronzer is best for day time wear & again is easy to blend to give a light natural sunkissed glow. My favourite from the range is the Bronzing Booster, you simply add a few drops to your normal foundation or moisturiser to give a bronzed finish, great for when you're on holiday, so there's no need to buy a new foundation for summer! Also in the range is the Subtle Glow Daily Moisturiser, this has a little self tan & will gradually build a light tan. Finally the Pressed Bronzing Powder, this is great to use with all the products to give some extra shimmer!! A complete one stop shop for the summer months, prices range from 3.99 available at Boots & Superdrug, see www.maybelline.co.uk for more info.
