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!


Let me know what your top 4 fake tans are?


Love always, amber ♡♡

Top 5 Mascaras ♡

Hey Guys, Sorry I have been MIA the last couple of days! I have been trying to set up my Youtube Channel! which is link on my blog! so check it out :) 
So, I'm going to share with you's my top 5 Mascaras! Now I'm a crazy Mascara lover, I love trying new ones, I have very short lashes that don't hold a curl, so I do use alot at once to voluimze them! so these are some products that I have found that works great and I'm going to share my thoughts and tips and tricks with them! 


#1 Bobbi Brown:  Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening Mascara 

I'm so madly in love with the mascara its crazy! It really lengthens you're eyelashes and makes them look longer then what they are, which I really do need! The secret? a unique brush, In just one sweep you get noticeably longer lashes & perfect separation. And because the Mascara is enriched with olive-derived emollients, Vitamin B and humectants, the long-wearing mascara conditions lashes while staying smudge & flake-free. You'll be lash obsessed just like I am! So ladies get your hands on this bad boy! 

2# Benefit: They're Real! 
All I have to say is WOW! This Mascara is one of my must have and grabs everyday, everywhere I go this bad boy follows me! At first I hated it and didn't know how to use it properly because of the end of the brush! But the brush helps reveal lashes you never even knew you had! But don't give up! Just keep trying! I have my own special technique that works for me! So keep trying it's worth the hype! so this mascara helps lengthen, curl, volumize, lift and separate the look of your lashes for gorgeous definition. The long-wearing formula dries glossy.

3# L'OREAL Paris: Telescopic Mascara
I find that the Telescopic Mascara really does do it's job some days when I'm lazy I use this on its own and it really does offers up to 60% longer lashes, reinforced at the base and embellishes lashes with a few simple strokes. The first mascara from L''Oreal Paris, which lengthens and defines lashes. The innovative and flexible precision brush separates and lengthens lashes in a beautiful way without no clumps. #dreamcometrue?

4# Rimmel London: Scandal'eyes Lycra Flex Mascara
The brush on this Mascara is a big one which I really do love, It gets right into the lashes and Lift them! This leaves my lashes soft and fluffy and gives it a nice curl! The  Lycra technology formula is  designed to build volume for full lashes. I really will be repurchasing this product again it is really worth it! 

#5  Maybelline: Volum' Express One By One Mascara
Finally,a  bold volume without any of the bulk. Patented lash catcher brush has 3 bristles per lash to make every lash count. Volum' Express One By One Mascara catches, coats and de-clumps each lash to make them all fatter and flirtier. Instant clump-free volume. This is really great if you use more then one mascara at once, it does a really good job of separating those clumpy lashes and just leaving you with soft looking lashes, which everyone wants? 


So that's my top 5 mascaras! I really hope this helped you ladies find the right mascara for you!
leave me in the comments below you favourite ones! i would love to know! 

Love always, amber ♡♡

Wish list #1



New Month new me isn't exactly my favourite phrase, I feel like every month i get into this kind of detox and just want to expand and change! ( promise i'm not going crazy)  new make up collection it  is. I love any excuse to revamp my make up collection so I've decided to make a massive list of all the things that I've had my eye on and tell you why I want them - these are the things that I'm saving up for this month.

1 -  Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - So many people have mentioned this product to me  and have said that I need to try it, so I must buy it and see what the hype is about - I'm currently hooked on L'oreal True Match Foundation and have been for months, So thankyou Lauren Curtis from Laurenbeauty on Youtube! you made me addicted! so lets see if anything can sway me away from it.

2 - Smash Box Try It Kit - I stumbled across this on there website and the last time I bought from Smash Box, I fell in love with quite a few items (particularly this lipgloss

3 - Naked 3 Palette - Of course Urban Decay's Naked 3 Palette is on my wish-list. It's insane that I don't own it yet, it's more than necessary as everyone knows that Urban Decay are the best brand for eye palettes. I cannot wait to get my hands on it and start playing around with pretty eye make up.

4 - Maybelline Falsies Mascara -  Maybelline's falsie mascara and Boujours Volumizer Mascara - I can't decide which one to buy, so hopefully they'll go on SALE!!!! and then I can buy both. They both made lashes look incredible and I'm actually on the look out for a new mascara. 

5 - Sugar Lip Polish - I love the idea of having nice polished lips, I knew that I needed to put it on my wishlist. Lush do some really similar lip polishes so I will probably get another one of those first.

6 - Shu Uemura Gold Eye Lash Curlers - I love my silver eye lash curlers from Benefit, apparently the best curlers on the market, but unfortunately I broke them so I'd love some new ones, I don't know why the gold ones appeal to me so much (probably because they're gold) but I think these would look incredible in my make up bag.

7 - Superfacialist Rose Intense Moisture Mask - I have seen so many guru's go on and on about this! i need to try it! I'm always on the look out for new products

8 - Origins No Puffery Cooling Roll On For Puffy Eyes - Another item that I need to read ! I desperately need something to get rid of puffy under eyes and this apparently does just the trick.

9 - Nars Laguna Bronzer - I've wanted this for years and I have no idea why I haven't just taken the plunge and bought it yet - it's pretty much the perfect bronzer. I am still yet to own anything from Nars!

10 - YSL Touche Eclat Foundation - Apparently this is very similar to Rimmel's Wake Me Up foundation, but I love YSL's touch eclat under eye concealer so I'm 

11 - Rimmel Match Perfection - This is another foundation which Tanya Burr has recommended, I've read some incredible reviews of it and I'm all for finding the best high street products.

Has anyone tried any of the above products? What's on your wishlist this Month? Let me know if there's anything else that I should add to my list!

Lots of love, Ambs x
