Dove: Almond and Hibiscus body lotion

Hello everybody!!!

I won't say a lot on this post just because I'm too excited for that body lotion that I cannot express it with many words!!!

Everyone knows that Dove is the king of moisture, specially in body lotions.
Well that scent is the best! Sweet and feminine and delicate! Definitely can recognise the almond and hibiscus tones. I can tell you that you won't need a perfume when you have that on; so amazing the scent is!
It stays on for a day at least and it doesn't stick to your body! You put it on, and by the time you do your make up, you're ready to have your clothes on too with no weird and appalling sticky  feelings. Just a nice lightweight and fresh moisture.

I have the big size bottle of 400ml , which you can find in German drugstores like Muller, for only 2.5 euros.
If that's not amazing then what is it?? You get a value and you give nothing.

You need to have that in your collection and you don't know it yet !!! :)

Oriflame: Silk beauty Gradual tan Body lotion

Hey hey heyyy!!!

It's the first time since April 2012 that a month has passed with nothing to upload.
Sorry for that, but that hot weather made me not wanting to sit down and write about beauty.

Well, that's a past since I'm back with some pretty good reviews coming up.
The one following is a post I wanted to write since last summer.

So, as I keep testing it since then, it's that time I introduce you to another summer miracle of mine!
A gradual tan from Oriflame !!!

If you follow me since the begging you know that 3 products I can't live without; dry shampoos, blushes and gradual tanners!!!

First of all, let me tell you that the number one reason I truely love this lotion is its scent!! Floral and feminine, a hint of nice orchid smell on my body that's adorable.
Also, that little tiny illuminating particles that makes me literally glow!
And of course, the nice and even amount of brown color that dresses my skin...

Can't recommend it enough if you're looking for something subtle and not intense in your every day routine.
It won't give you the St Tropez's color nor the Sephora's one.
It's just a simple, wonderfully smelling lotion that gives you that extra something.
Its price is also quite amazing, around 5.50 euros.

Well done Oriflame!
So, just sniff it and you'll remember me!

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Natural bronze Body lotion

Hey everyone! 

This is my third review about gradual tanning moisturisers! Talking today about a brand I love from Uk, Palmer's!

The smell of all their range is just ridiculously amazing! This cocoa butter makes you feel you have chocolate on your body!

On to the gradual tanner.
First and most important, it gives you a brown color from your very first application. It is certainly  not a regural gradual lotion for me that takes too long to see the color. On the third day you could actually see that you have more than a sunkissed color! An actual brown one. I find that if you apply it more than 4 days with no shaving in the middle, you might become a little bit orange. So thats a part you need to pay attention to. That happens because it gives you the desirable color from the very first time and you think, wait; it's a gradual lotion so I need to apply it every day. No! 3 days are enough and boom! Fabulous tan saving money on the same time I would say, as you don't need it regularly.
When you shower, I find that it doesn't fade away as most gradual tanners do, only a little bit of color goes away with the water. I think that you won't need neither after your shower to reapply it! That's what amazed me. 3 days per week and I'm ready! 

When it comes to moisturisation... Hmm, it's definitely a thick formula, not that lightweight feeling some expensive lotions provides. Personally I can feel that it's a drugstore product from that factor but ok, it doesnt' bother me. When you put it on, you don't need too many circular motions to blend it in as it dries out quickly, becoming a thick moisture layer on your skin. I could say that if you use one full pump per leg, it could be hard for your body to absorb such an amount. I find that a little less than a pump is enough for each leg and arm so as not to become a sticky mess. I can feel that I'm moisturised, that I can have something on, but for me it takes too long to actually put my clothes on and go out, so I need to have this on before I do anything else.  A couple of hours later you can see that your skin is soft and smooth. 

Now for the smell.. I believe that there are two group of people, one who would hate it and the other who would love it! It has the most sweet and biscuity smell, like a chocolate cake. Too sweet only with a pump, really. The reason I do love the smell is only because I'll keep using it when the summer comes to its end and when the summer is going to start, periods that I tend liking those sweet smells. In the middle of the summer, with so much heat, I think I would be in the first group of people who would kind of hate the smell. For my taste it's too heavy. There are plenty other smells out there that could do the same job in hot days. I'm saying that so as you to know that I do use it with so much joy but not all year long.

It's the combination of those3 factors that made me love this product and keep reaching more bottles!
The immediate from the first use brown, not orange color, the real moisturisation it provides and its sweety perfum that leaves your skin with!
I believe that the key of its success is that it can be used from all skin tones, which means that you won't have to worry about choosing the light version for fair skin, the medium or the dark one.

As for the package, I love the handy pump it has that allows you not to make a mess in your bathroom/room keeping it clean every time you apply .
It's a 250ml for 6 Euros. You can find it many times for less too.
That's why I'll keep repurchasing it! 
Palmer's has soooo many good value products that they deserve at least one try, trust me! 

My mum also has the Facial scrub and the Firming Butter wich she loves! ( both the smell and the job they do). 

The scrub exfoliates gently your skin, while it leaves you with a super smooth result. Baby face, amazing!
The firming lotion leaves you with that tight skin, like you are out in winter time with no clothes!

We also use the facial mask! Yes, we are both of us huge Palmer's followers :)

Love Palmer's Cocoa Butter formula range and you will too !!! xx

Sephora: Moisturizing Bronzing Body Lotion/Gradual self tanning body lotion

Hey hey heyyyy !!!

I'm so excited that I've got an amazing product review for you my girlsss !!!

Gradual self tanner !!!!!!!

Every spring-summer I tend to look for a new moisturiser, which can give my skin a nice tan gradually.

I don't like those heavy tinted gels, with that instant color. I do prefer something more natural and nice looking, that stays on longer.

Well this year I've found an awesome one and I'm really happy! Sephora's own brand Gradual tanner :-)

To begin with, this product does exactlly what it says...

Moisturises, yes!

Creates gradually a nice even color, yes!

Smells amazing, yes!

Looks amazing, due to the tiny tiny amount of glitter, yes yes!

It's an all in one holy moly miracle product for my skin!

I seriously need only this bottle in the summer, no extra body moisturizers, no extra perfumes, no extra shimmery lotions. It can do its job enormously well !!!

As far as color goes, it gives you a nice light brownish-golden glow, like you've been in the beach for a couple of days. Certainly not a heavy tan effect, but still a noticable darker than your skin color.

I'm not a pale girl, but I surely am enough fair to need a gradual self tan, as I do not tan easily too.

Do not expect that you'll be brown in one use. But you do certainly can build up your color and create a glow your friends would be jealous of, without that dangerous sun exposure  Now, I'm one shade and a half darker than my normal color.

You need to reapply it 3 days in the row to see results. The color will fade away if you exfoliate, like every gradual self tanner does, but it takes one application and you'll have your color back, without orangy spots effect.

The thing is that you can use it every morning and then put your clothes on, as it is not a sticky formula.

It actually gives a very very very soft and smooth feeling to your body in a couple of minutes!

So moisturising that dries out unexpectedly fast! The moist lasts on your skin the whole day I would say.

Apart from those two obvious roles that this product should have, it has two more.

It smells something like lavender!!! A nice flowery scent that stays on your body, gosh...  for ages!!!!

I can tell you that you won't need an eau de toilette if you use this one!

Every time I have this on, there's no way not to get a compliment at least from one person!

Also, it gives a decent shimmer and shine to your darker-yayy- body, that's noticable yes, but not too obvious too. Every girl likes something glittery on her tanny legs :)

I could say that if you're using it every or every other day, it will last about a month!

I've run out one bottle so I got two more! It's a handy bottle that doesn't take too much space in your drawer or your travel bag.

Now, the sad part is that it costs 12.5 Euros for a 200 ml bottle. For gradual lotion, yes it's expensive.

Well, I have tried cheaper self tanners that do the same or even some times better job, but girl... It deserves it! I'll keep reaching for this one, no matter how it costs.

It's nice that Sephora has every now and then some pretty good sales too, so you can certainly get these for less.

It's a 4 in 1 product for me, so it worth the hype ! Go get it !

It comes in an updated package and name too, with the exact same product inside!

Have a nice night ! xx
