I have no self-control!
Last night while cleaning out my cupboard, I stumbled across an unopened bottle of St Moriz Instant Self Tanning Mist. I bought this months ago and must have put it in the cupboard and forgot all about it. So out of sheer boredom I decided to apply it to see what it was like. I've used St Moriz mousse before and I do like it, I just have a problem with the consistency of it. I find that with each pump 75% of the formula will come out like mousse and the other 25% will be runny. So if you're anything like me, you just get into a mess! That's what puts me off the mousse.
Anyway, If you read my post on things I'm loving right now, you would have noticed that number 1 on my list was 'embracing my paleness', which has obviously went right out the window (naughty me!). I did try and justify it by saying that it was for fair to medium skintones - a lot lighter than I usually use, but lets face it I'm a lot darker than I naturally am and I'm already thinking about the next application...I'm hooked!
Personally, I think this may be my new favourite fake tan. The application was flawless and I have no patches, even my hands are fine!!
Have you tried St Moriz mousse or mist? Which do you prefer?

Right now I'm loving...
Embracing my natural skin tone! - This is a big change for me, I hate the natural colour of my skin. I'm very, very pale and for the last 6 years I've been somewhat tanorexic (although I have only used a sunbed twice! Donatella Versace has put me off 'natural' tanning) and applying fake tan has been compulsory! However, I'm currently having problems with my skin and fake tan seems to be exacerbating it so as it's winter and I can cover up more, it seemed like the perfect time to wean myself off fake tan. Not sure how long this will last though, it's been quite a struggle so far!
Lipstick - I've not really been a fan of lipstick. To be honest...it scares me! I'm always worried that I'll think that a colour will look good when really people will be thinking 'What the hell is she wearing?' So I usually avoid it or I stick to colours that are the same as my natural lip colour - my perfect match is ELF mineral lipstick in 'nicely nude'. So to start off I've purchased 2 lipsticks from the Maybelline colorsensational range; the colours are 'Fatal red' and 'Delicate pearl' and I purchased 2 from the Rimmel Lasting Finish range in the colours 'Sweetie' and 'Asia'. I will do a review of these. If anyone has any recommendations, please let me know!
Maybelline Dream Satin Liquid Foundation - I've tried this twice before and wasn't impressed at all. It was one of those products that didn't live up to the expectations I had about it and I couldn't make it work at all so I gave it to my Mum, who happens to love it! She recently bought a bottle that was too light for her so she gave it to me. Due to embracing my paleness the only foundations I had that matched my skin were this and Chanel Vitalumiere - which I do love but the coverage is light and the state my skin is in at the moment that's a no-go! So I had to opt for maybelline dream satin and I have to say I'm quite impressed. It doesn't give me 'flawless' skin but the coverage is quite good, my skin looks smoother and it gives it a nice glow.
Online shopping - I actually always love online shopping but from November until January this becomes my only shopping outlet as I refuse to step foot in shops. People seem to go into psycho mode at this time of the year and I find going shopping really stressful; all manners seem to go out the window; people race you to get things and it's just really stressful and chaotic. I really don't get it. It seems to be like a competition to buy anything and people buy like it's going out of fashion.
Snow!!! - Today is the first day we've had snow so that explains why I'm loving it. By tomorrow I'll hate it but for today I'm definitely loving it! It's really starting to feel like Christmas even though it's still almost 4 weeks away! I've actually been wanting to put my Christmas tree up but I haven't...I'm not that mad! Honestly! :D
Twitter - I've had twitter for a while now but I've only recently kind of figured out how to use it...I'm still a complete novice! I love reading other people's tweets though, some of them are really funny. It's also really nice to get to know other bloggers better, although there are some bloggers I follow on twitter but can't find their blogs :( I'm starting to see why it can be addictive though!

5 Products that I love!!!
In starting this blog I thought i'd give you a little insight to the products I love most, there's nothing too extravagant in the list but every item there has lived up to (and more) what it claims to do on the bottle. I hope you enjoy reading!
1. St Tropez Auto-Bronzant Lotion - I'm Scottish and have the traditional white (with a hint of blue!) pasty skin which personally I hate! I don't even seem to tan when I go on holiday either :( but apparently 'faking' it is they way to go and hopefully it will keep the wrinkles at bay! So anyway the reason I love this is that it alwyas appears to be flawless and as long as you exfoliate and moisturise properly it shouldn't turn orange or streaky, it also smells amazing! . I have tried other fake tans such as fake bake (gave me a rash) and the sienna tan (a good cheaper alternative) but none of them have matched up to this. Also I wouldn't recommend the mousse version of this as I didn't think I had quite as many applications as I get from the lotion and the colour seemed to be lighter too. The only disappointing thing about it is that it claims to be so dark that it hides strech marks but I found that it made mine stand out more.
2. Dove 2 in 1 Daily Therapy Daily Conditioner - I have tried LOTS of different shampoos and conditioners, so of which have been ridiculously expensive especially when they failed to do what they say! I eventually found that Charles Worthington salon shine results brilliant shine shampoo and conditioner was the one that worked best on my hair (the comments on how shiny my hair looked swayed me a bit :D) until I decided to bleach it, my hair didn't look shiny or even feel soft so I had to look for a new shampoo which is how I came accross the dove shampoo. I only bought it cause it was on special for £1 and i've not used another product since. It means I still bleach my hair and it is shiny and soo soft!! The only problem is I find my hair to be a bit static but thats nothing a bit of hairspray won't fix!
3. Boots 17 Solo Eyeshadows - Ok, so the reason I love these are mainly for the price. I get a bit scared when trying new colours of eyeshadow as i'm never sure whats going to suit me so I buy these first instead of buying more expensive ones and finding that they don't suit me and never get touched again . The collection has a great colour range perfect for experimenting with, at the moment my fave is viva diva, and they don't crease and they blend very well! There is also a glitter range available too and usually some kind of deal on them such as BOGOF or 3 for the price of 2.
4. Clinique Superfit Makeup Foundation - The one beauty product I can't live without is foundation! It's my fave part of my beauty routine. It can transform the look of your skin so much (as long as you find the right one and the right shade for you) and this makes my skin look amazing! I find I need quite a lot of coverage I love that whole 'airbrushed' look and this gives me the coverage I want without being heavy and it looks natural. It's oil-free as well which is brilliant if like me you're prone to the odd spot and have an oily t-zone.
5. Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Sugar Plum - I've never been a lipstick fan as any I tried never seemed to suit me at all so I didn't ever bother with it and stuck to lipgloss but I received this in a rimmel gift set and I fell in love with it straight away. It's a lovely pink shade, very bright and makes a good statement lipstick. It feels quite conditioning on my lips and does actually last as it claims I did find that it bled a little bit but managed to fix this with a lip pencil. It looks great with black eyeliner on the top lids and heavy mascara. Simple but very pretty! Definitely stands out.
