Quick Tip Today...

So after a busy weekend I love nothing more than a bit of me time, so here is how I spend my Sunday night, watching X Factor, with a glass of white...

Yes, this is clingfilm on my legs. And why you ask? Well its a little beauty trick courtesy of Sam. 

So after having a lovely bath and shaving my pins, I usually get very sore legs and very rashy, which let's face it, is not attractive. So Sam suggested I tried lathering on the moisturiser and wrapping my legs in clingfilm over night, so that's exactly what I did. And guess what? My legs felt lovely! Yes they are still a bit itchy, but all in all they feel better. My current moisturiser of choice is Simple Derma Intensive Relief, which is suitable for excema and other skin conditions.

So yeah, if you get shavers rash you should maybe try this cheap little trick and see if it works for you :)

Anyway, back to watching X Factor, so until next time :)

A tanning moisturiser that never tanned?

Good Evening!

So if you have read my blog for a while, you will know I am a huge fan of Simple, however, I have come across a product of theirs that I feel somewhat let down by...

This is Simple's Sun-Kissed Moisturiser, that is supposed to help build a "light gradual tan". Now, this is a good moisturiser, in that respect, I have no complaints. But, it does not tan, at all, ever. I have nearly used the whole bottle over summer, and I have not developed any sort of tan. Though, as you can see by the bottle cap, this moisturiser does become tan coloured. I really don't get it. I don't know if it is what I was using it with or what, but I really don't think that my make-up, or my Simple Cleanser and Toner, should have had an effect on the performance of this product. 

I wouldn't say the Simple brand has let me down, I still love their products, but I really wanted to have some sort of tan on my face this summer, and that just did not happen with this product. Towards the end of summer I ended up pairing it with this product...

This moisturiser came from Tesco, and was pretty cheap, less than £5, and is an actual tinted moisturiser. I mix it with the Simple one in the vague hope it will kick start the Simple one to actually develop a tan, and also to just use them both up. It's passed summer now, so I want to move on to a richer moisturiser soon. I really like this product though. It gives a really light sheen to the face and a good base for my make up. It's a bit shiny but it feels nice and soaks in well. So for summer it's been a really good product and I would buy it again. My sister Rosie has other products from this range and has been very impressed. 

So yeah, I would be interested to know if anyone else has tried either of these products and what you think about them.

So, until next time :)
