Top 4 Fake Tans ♡



Hey Dolls, 
So I'm very obsessed with being tanned! I'm not naturally, I'm very white :(  Which i hate so much! It's so hard to find a decent tan that last and doesn't make you look like an oompa loompa or worse! Now I have had my fair share of horrible fake tans, my chest and my neck is very dry! No matter what I do it's always dry! Costume jewelry never lasts long because of my dry chest and fake tan doesn't stay on my chest very long without getting super blotchy and flaky always before the rest of my body so I never have a fake tan on very long because of that ( 2-4 days) and I really hate more then anything! So I have tried to find a very moisturizing fake tan that last! So here are 4 of the fake tans that i have tested ( there all empty) and I can honestly say they lasted between 1-3 weeks before going blotching and me having to exfoliate! I use the in shower moisturizer ( nivea in-shower rich body lotion - very dry skin) then I moisturizer with The Dream Cream from lush, and it has been making my skin so soft and my fake tans longer lasting! 




#1 St.Tropez Dark ($39.99) - So I brought this at a priceline sale for $20 usually $39.99. I have always wanted to try it but never wanted to spent $40 on a fake tan! I'm glad I picked it up in the sale because it is so worth $40 it's such a nice colour and give such a nice glow and is very moisturizing which is great for my body! I'm not a big pan of spray tans i prefer moose! but the colour guard is very true and and very identifying so you can make use you  never get lines or uneven parts! this product is worth the hype and if you can afford it's worth it 100% 

2# Bondi Sands Dark ($19.99) - This is my 6th bottle of this tan and I'm so inlove with it! and the price of it for what you get makes it even better! The colour is very dark! darker then the ST. Tropez one but it definitely fades and gives you a nice colour after a couple of days! It's a very matte colour i don't really get a glow with it, but can definitely say it is very compatible with the St. Tropez one. This one is a tad more drying on me but I still can't get enough of it! 

Le Tan Deep Bronze ($12.39) - This fake tan will always have a spot in my collection know matter what! this is my old school tan that I use to use back in the day and still use now! When the colour says deep bronze it isn't kidding its very bronze, abit on the orange side but once you shower and wash the colour guard off you get a nice bronze colour this doesn't last as long as i would hope! but I love to use it if I'm going out and want to be brown! my chest hates this products it goes very blotchy quickly so i usally don't use alot of it on my chest! but if you are on a budget this is perfect! 

Lacura Instant Tan Deep Bronze - Well my mum brought this for me from aldi i would like to say for under $10! this is great to spray and go, i really like the colour it doesn't stay on very long but you definitely get a great glow and a nice beachy tan with it! I'm not a fan of the spray it doesn't come out in a nice consistence it like spits at you but definitely you can work with it! If you can get your hands on this one definitely do so!

The smell and the flavor is like it really is bubble gum! A blend of exfoliating Fair Trade sugar and moisturising jojoba oil, this lip scrub is sure to leave your lips enticingly soft and satisfy your sweet tooth at the same time! Scrub Bubblegum over your lips (be sure to lick off the excess) and then apply your favourite lip colour for a flawless finish.

4# Lush Catastrophe cosmetic mask: ($16.95 AUD)  Wow this face mask is truly amazing and you see results! my skin gets very dry and very red, so with Fresh blueberries that are are rich in beneficial antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to reduce inflammation and act as a mild antiseptic it really does help with the redness of blemishes that i tend to get! Soothing chamomile, Irish moss and almond oil work with the gentle cleansing action of calamine to saves  the skin. i apply it to clean skin, avoiding the eye area. Leave for five to ten minutes, then rinse away with warm water, or i jump in the shower and let warm water wash it off! 

5# Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub: ($12.95 AUD)   9.99% of the time I'm faked tanned! So all my Fake tanning girls out there understand how much of a pain in the butt it is to remove it! I use to avoid going outside when my tan would start to patch and look like i had some sort of a disease, but not anymore! this 
scrub honestly removes it with in one go! It is also really good if you have break outs on you shoulders or anywhere on your body ingrown hairs on your legs and dry and flaky skin, this would be perfect for you! The Sea salt is gently exfoliating, extra cleansing and mineral-rich. After scrubbing, it dissolves in water. The blue scrub is startlingly refreshing, with a dash of lemon juice and the tropical scent of mimosa blossom. 

#6 Rose Jam Shower Gel 250 G : ( $16.95 AUD)  So I have been trying to get my hand back on this baby since after Christmas and i was told it only comes out Christmas time! i was devastated! but they do sell it online at Lush Cosmetics Australia. It is truly amazing i have never smelt something so yummy before! My Boyfriend and I used the whole thing! it is to die for! The benefits of nourishing argan oil, this shower gel is a decadent as it gets!  Skin brightening goji berry juice and Sicilian lemon give your skin a boost, while rose oil and rose absolute leave it soothed, softened and beautifully fragranced.  A luxurious way to start each day.   

7# Sea Spray : ( $12.50 AUD )  I really do love this spray! when i curl my hair i spray some of this in my hair and it gives my curls i nice texture and a beach hair effect that we all love and want! Sometimes after i get out of the shower after washing my hair i will spray a few sprays of this to give it a nice bit of volume when i wake up in the morning! but this one leaves you fresh, uplifted and perfumed. A salty spritz that gives body, volume and hold. Sea Spray can be used in many ways to give hold and style, apply before blow-drying or apply to dry hair and work through for beach waves. Gives shine to the hair and has a beautiful perfume of orange flower absolute, grapefruit, neroli and rosewood oils.

8# Mask of Magnaminty: ( $25 AUD) Wow this mask is amazing it definitely has a minty smell to it! i use the mask weekly, it just keeps my skin in good condition! isn’t technically a daily ‘facial wash’; it’s actually a deep cleansing face and back mask. China clay and fresh peppermint reach deep down to pull the debris from your pores, giving you that delightful tingly-clean sensation. We add loads of aduki beans to exfoliate flaky or dry skin, vanilla absolute to calm redness and honey to soothe. Our inventors created Mask of Magnaminty to be the ‘ultimate face mask’, intense but not harsh or abrasive on the skin.

My blonde hair is natural i get it died every 3 months! and its really drying on my hair, this hair mask Softness, shine and conditioning your blonde hair, Marilyn is for blondes who would like to stay blonde and become even blonder, in a gentle, shiny, and natural way (even if they didn’t become blonde naturally). Lush make it by hand with softening linseed gel which is full of protein, vitamins and minerals to hydrate and strengthen hair. Lush uses chamomile for lightness and to calm your scalp, saffron for golden color and lemon for shine. Marilyn moisturizes damaged hair and brings out natural blond tones with regular use, making hair look more vibrant.

10# Dream Cream : ( $27 AUD )  I have very dry skin, It's horrible! I'm always on the look out for something really moisturizing! Dream cream is perfect, I really enjoy the smell and the texture of it, it is very heavy and just leaves you feeling so soft! It transforms suffering bodies into states of peace with our calming blend of oat milk, lavender and chamomile to care for irritations, reduce redness, and banish blotches. Olive oil and cocoa butter are perfectly suited and incredibly effective for dry or chapped skin, and especially gentle for even the most sensitive types. Do your skin a favor, treat it right with Dream Cream.
