No More White Bits

I know I should embrace my English rose complexion, but there’s nothing I love more than having a healthy tan – even if it does come from a bottle. But I’m far from a fake tan abuser. In fact, you’ll only ever catch me wearing it on two occasions: 1) on a night out and 2) during the summer when I’m looking a little pasty and want to wear my prettiest dresses. So this could explain why I jumped at the chance of reviewing this product – No More White Bits, available from Superdrug.

The sample I received came in a mousse formula, a formula I’m used to using and prefer compared to others. I’ve always found lotions and sprays tricky to use. They appear, patchy, too dark or barely noticeable, but mousse formulas always give the perfect consistency without being too messy.

Fake tan formulas have enhanced greatly over the years. You no longer have to sacrifice looking good, by smelling like a soggy biscuit as most fake tan products are perfumed instead – as it this one. The smell is over-powering, but I’m not sure if this is to mask the soggy biscuit smell. However, I’m complaining – eau de soggy biscuit is not kicking off anytime soon.

As for the final outcome of the product I was pleased. I only applied one layer with my hands (slap on the wrist) and once dry, it gave a subtle glow with even coverage. Long gone were my pasty legs and I was left with glowing pins instead. I wouldn’t necessarily say they were brown, but more natural instead, like my skin was a little more tanned than usual.

But I will say that when you first apply the product, it barely looks like there’s anything there. Just be patient – it does work, honest!

No More White Bits is available from Superdrug from 1 April for just £3.99 – a bargain for a fab, high street self-tanner.

Good to be back...

So as you're probably well aware, I moved recently to a lovely little house with my Mr. I won't bore you with any details other than it's absolutely beautiful and we can't wait to make it our own.

I haven't blogged for a while, so as you can imagine I have LOTS to tell you and firstly I'm going to start with the wonderful Superdrug beautycard launch I attended on Tuesday. Stupidly I forgot my camera on the day, but it was set by the pool of the Haymarket Hotel, which was beautiful.


The Superdrug beautycard is available now and until beginning of June you can earn 50 points for every £5 you spend on Superdrug branded products. Standard points work that for every £1 you spend you will receive one point, with 100 points translating to a £1. Also the card comes with a mirror on one side, handy for keeping in your purse.

Secondly, with festival season on the horizon, I want to tell you about these handy mini travel sized facial wipes from Nivea. They're the perfect handbag size and contain 7 wipes - perfect for cleansing your face when it's a bit grubby. Also they're only £1.01!


I have plenty more to blog about, but I think they're worth a seperate post...
