Competition - Win 12 Months Supply Of Water Wipes

The lovely Naomi from Rachel Dalton Communications has giving me a 12 months supply of WaterWipes for one of my lucky followers.

As everyone knows I'm a firm believer Ina good skin care routine and HATE baby wipes being used on the face to clean the skin and remove makeup but I'm a BIG FAN of Water Wipes are designed for the face and removing makeup and improving the skins condition.

Water wipes are designed for all sensitive skin because their made with 100% natural skin friendly ingredients. The sensitive removal wipes also soothe and revitalse stressed out skin.

After a long day at a festival, when your face has taking a beating from makeup, sun, sweat, and dirt a good cleansing routine is essential with a few simple sweeps of water wipes gently removes every last bit of makeup and grime, plus they leave your skin feeling pure, fresh and detoxed.

Review on TheTan

So as you all know I Love Love a nice tan so the lovely Jenn's who created TheTan
Invited me over to Vanity Rooms to try out the new spray tan ����
TheTan is a newly created tan in both spray tan for salons along with a gel lotion to apply for home use. There is also a Gradual Daily Bronzer Lotion.

When I went to Vanity Rooms salon out in Stepaside to get my complementary spray tan I went for the 12.5 % which is the darker shade of tan. There are 3 types of levels to choose choose from... As I love a nice dark tan this is what I went for. I wore loose dark clothing so as I would have no marks from clothes (nothing worse than having tan done and having marks on legs from leggings ��)

The spray tan dried quite quickly and was a nice bronzed shade from the start.
I left it to take over night to really let it to develop to a nice dark shade... Now take into consideration I had the tan applied at lunch time. When waking the next morning I done a sheets test... Not one bit of tan came off onto the bed sheets ���� A Winner ALREADY!!
After I had my shower (only applying shower gel to underarms etc not all over and letting water run clear) I patted dry when got out of the shower as rubbing removes tan.
The tan was a lovely shade there was no orange tone to my skin as you can see in the picture of my legs.
The tan itself lasted for over a week and held its color without coming off.
After a week I did a light exfoliation and applied a light coat of the gradual daily bronzer lotion. This is the picture of my arm and you can see the color and quality of the tan is great ����

The gradual daily bronzer was applied every second day to prolong my tan and I did so for 2 weeks... Now with being a tan fanatic I'm always worried about how tan comes off when you go to exfoliate... I used my Glove Your Body exfoliating mitt ���� which is one of my favorite products at the moment and ALL tan was removed leaving my skin lovely and soft and no tan was left on the skin.. As you can see by the picture of my pasty pale arm ��

Since having TheTan my skin has stayed nice and moisturised and no flaking or dryness as this regularly happens when trying out new tans.

Overall I'm very happy with The Tan and would definitely get another spray tan again. I now use my Gel lotion and Gradual Daily Bronzer for special occasions as I would wear tan regularly so its my go to "Treat Tan" ☺☺

Both the Gel Lotion and the Graudal Daily Bronzer Lotion can be purchased from www.the-tan.com  priced at €22 and the Spray Tan treatment is now in most salons nationwide or Vanity Rooms

I hope you all enjoyed reading my review and thanks for taking the time to read it! I hope everyone gives The Tan a try and see what you think of it. Its a great product to use and I'd highly recommend it ☺☺

Olive Oil Replenishing Mask

So I have changed my hair colour recently and I noticed it has become a little dry lately. I always use a conditioner every time I wash my hair but wasn't enough so I decided to pick up this Olive Oil Replenishing mask priced at €1.99 from
Boots or you can also pick them up in Penny's for less than €2.
Olive oil is great for nourishing both hair and body and adding moisture back into the skin and hair.

What I done:
I washed my once just with shampoo and towel dried it. I then used all of the mask (there's a lot in one pack) and put it ALL OVER my hair from root to tip. It was quite wet after this so I then used the hair dryer to dry off the heavy wet and heat is good for getting treatment's into the hair.
I then tied my hair up into a bun and left it in over night to really get the mask to work into my hair.... You don't have to leave it in over night the instructions suggest 45 mins but this was just my personal preference.
The next morning my hair felt a little hard so I rinsed it first in the shower with just water and it became sooo soft. I then lightly shampooed twice to remove any excess oil and conditioned as normal.

Results:
My hair was super soft and so easy to blow dry as some times when its dry its that little bit harder to style when drying it. It held the stlye and was no fly always or frizz at all for the next 2/3 days. The shine off my hair was great also.
A week on and its still soft and holding the shine, with little to no knots!

Overall:
I would highly recommend this hair mask and I will definitely be using it on my own hair at least once a month.
The price point is incredible and the quality of the product is amazing. I find some treatments can leave my hair quite greasy afterwards even after being well rinsed and with this I didn't have this problem.
It would be suitable for all hair types ☺
