Fake Bake lip glosses in Prissy Pink and Beach Babe: Show off your tan




Famous for their fabulous tanning products Fake Bake have launched a range of lip glosses designed to enhance a tanned complexion.



Fake Bake lipgloss in Prissy Pink is a pale pink shade. The lip gloss has a gorgeous bubble gum smell which makes a welcome change from the off orange you often get. It glides on really easily and doesn't feel sticky at all. I normally don't like lip gloss as it tends to not last long but it's a pleasant product that looks great over lipstick. The colour is quite faint but for a off duty casual look its perfect.









Fake Bake lipgloss in Beach Babe is a massive contrast to Prissy Pink with a deep caramel tone. Typically I wouldn't choose such a shade as I wouldn't know if I would like the final result. I was pleasantly surprised by the golden glow Beach Babe gave me. With a tan and a slick of Beach Babe you wouldn't look out of place sipping a cocktail.












I give Fake Bake lip glosses 4/5

Advantages
•Lip glosses designed to compliment a tan
•The shade Beach Babe would look amazing with a tan
•Comfortable to wear and not too sticky

Disadvantages
•Prissy Pink is quite pale which might not appeal to everyone

Soap and Glory in Apricot Jam: blush yourself happy




It's funky and stands out on the shelf with its vintage packaging.



Soap and Glory Peach Party is a blusher block with a range of colours varying from pale white to a dark plum.





The block has real shimmer in each colour section and when applied as a whole really make your cheeks glow.



Each sector is too small to really be applied alone but you can mix and match on which colours you want in your blush.

I didn't apply any highlighter after using this blusher and felt my cheeks were really shimmery. The only thing I would say let's it down is that the colour didn't really blend in very well.

Overall a reasonable blush with great shimmer and fun packaging.

I give it 3/5



Advantages
•Large range of colours mean you can create a lot of different blush looks
•Has a intense shimmer which means you can leave your highlighter in the drawer
•Unique packaging will make your makeup bag look fabulous!

Disadvantages
•The colour didn't seem to blend in very well, this was made worse by the intense shimmer which makes it stand out so much

Forget going to the gym, dance classes are the way forward.

Whether its Zumba or Hip Pop there's so many different classes around and this year i'm determined to try and stick to one!
