What I Use On... My Legs

When it comes to nights out, I always try and make sure that my legs look good and I thought it'd be interesting to show you which products I use on them as I think I've found some true gems!

Dove Summer Glow + Soft Shimmer* £4.99 - I use this to top up my fake tan throughout the week. I probably use it two-three times and it's the only gradual tanner that doesn't leave the skin looking streaky. It also has a pleasant smell that doesn't smell like nasty biscuits. It's great on the legs because it adds subtle shimmer.

Jergens Original Beauty Lotion* £3.49 - This is the only body lotion I'll ever use. It's definitely my go-to one as it's my favourite ever smell, cheap and it does the job. It sinks in nice and quickly and doesn't leave a nasty film on the skin. The moisture also lasts a while as I only need to use it once a day.

L'Oreal Perfect Slim £6.95 - I use this a couple of times a week to tighten up and tone my thighs and arms. It's a nice gel formula that's quite cooling. I'm not sure if it works but it feels nice so I continue to use it.

Dr Ceuticals Leg Tone & Shimmer* £8.49 - This is another toning moisturiser and I use this whenever I go on a night out as it adds a lovely amount of shimmer to the skin which really highlights the legs.

Xen-Tan Mousse Intense* £23.99 - My perfect fake tan! When this runs out, I need to get the lotion version as I prefer lotions to mousses but this is amazing. It leaves the skin a natural olive colour and although it has a green guide colour, it doesn't stain bedsheets. It's also very easy to use, doesn't leave streaks and lasts for around a week while fading evenly. Perfection!

Ministry of Waxing Ice Cream* £21 - Even though this is supposed to be used after waxing, I use it after shaving if I ever accidently cut my legs. It cools the skin and stops little nicks from irritating it.

diego dalla palma Spray on Tights* £22.61 - I hate tights with a passion! But I love how they leave the skin looking perfect. So I've found a middle ground. This Calze Spray is pretty much a foundation to the legs and if I have a bruise on my legs, I'll spray this before going out and it lasts all night and covers it up perfectly.

Caudalie Divine Oil* £25.00 - As well as using moisturiser, I also enjoy using oil. This is a spray bottle so it's easy to apply and it leaves my skin looking glowing, healthy and feeling soft and smooth.

Soap and Glory The Breakfast Scrub* £9.50 - My favourite body scrub! This smells beautiful and does a great job as keeping my skin smooth. Whenever people ask me why my legs are so soft, I say it's because of this beauty! 

What products do you use on your legs? Have you tried any of the above?

CAMPING: Bodycare

Hey guys! I hope you're all okay? I hope that this post shows up because it's scheduled so I'm a little worried haha. Here is the second part in the Camping Series and this time, it's bodycare!

L-R Natural Collection Mango & Papaya Body Spray, Liz Earle Foot Spritzer, Skin Wisdom Day Spa Gingerlily & Orange Bath Gel, Ministry of Waxing Ice Cream, Avene Sun Lotion SPF 50+ & 20, Nivea Creme.

I haven't included deodorant here yet because at the time of writing this post, I was waiting to fetch some from Tesco! I was undecided on which body spray to take because I have so many but this was the one that had the most product left in. Of course, my Liz Earle Foot Spritzer is a must have.. I take it everywhere with me - it's perfect for cooling the feet and legs and also eliminates odours! This is my new body gel and I'm really excited to try this out as it smells so gorgeous. The Ice Cream and Nivea Creme are there to be used as body lotions and after sun.. they're both cooling and really add moisture to the skin. And of course, sun tan lotion! It's a must have and if I could only take one product away with me, it'd be that!

What are your must have body care products for camping/holidays?

SUMMER SERIES: Pt 5 - Must Haves

When it comes to summer there's a few must-haves that everyone should own! Here are mine..

Avene Eau Thermale Water Spray

I absolutely love this product mainly because it's incredibly versatile and can be used for virtually anything. For the summer, I'd recommend keeping this in your bag (don't worry, Avene also do a smaller version) to freshen up throughout the day and also cool yourself down. You can see my full review of this product here.

Soap Glory & Hand Food

My favourite hand cream! It smells beautiful (like marshmallows), leaves hands feeling very soft and doesn't leave a nasty residue behind. Like the Avene spray, you can get this in a smaller size so of course, perfect for throwing into your bag! You can see my full review of this product here.

Liz Earle Foot Spritzer

This is so good! You use it on your feet, legs and ankles and it cools the area and fights odour-causing bacteria meaning that your feet stay fresh! I spray this in the morning mostly because it smells beautiful (like mint), wakes me up and makes me feel revitalised, but for summer, definitely carry this around with you to cool your feet down! Also in summer you barely ever wear socks so this is perfect for making sure your feet smell sweet!

Liz Earle Superskin Bust Treatment

Who doesn't want to look good in a bikini? This serum is super light and immediately sinks into the skin. I originally thought that this would take weeks to show results however, I saw results a few minutes after using it! My bust area looked more toned, even and smooth! I haven't been using this long enough yet to see if it has a lasting effect but I will definitely keep your updated! But for now.. it's an amazing quick fix. 

Avon Advance Technique Lotus Shield

When my sister came back from university I quickly stole it from her (well, she gave it to me). This is my favourite hair care product ever! Basically this cream helps to block humidity and keeps your hairstyle in place. The heat from the sun in summer really messes up my hair and leaves it frizzy but with this product, my hair stays straight and beautiful all day long! And what's best, this product doesn't weigh hair down or leave a greasy residue! Oh and it also lasts 2 washes! This is a definite must have.

Amplex Natural Deodorant

This deodorant doesn't leave white marks, sticky residue and stops you from sweating.. what more can you say?! You can see my full review of this product here.

Ministry of Waxing Ice Cream

Yes, I've burnt myself since the sun has been showing its face and this product literally works a miracle on sunburn. It instantly cools the burn, soothes it and even heels it! It's definitely worth the expensive price tag. You can see my full review of this product here.

Avene Factor 50+ Mineral Cream

Sun tan lotion is a must have and this one is my favourite. Mineral means that is it good for the skin which is always a bonus but this also sinks in quickly, does the job and doesn't dry the skin out (or make it feel greasy). It's also (light) skin colour so it blends really well and doesn't leave a white cast. I've also used this on my face before and because of its colour I found that it evened my skintone out - perfect!

Liz Earle Spot On

This is definitely a must have in your bag! It works on spot (over or under make up), bites, cuts.. you know it, it heels it! You can see my full review of this product here.

SUMMER SERIES: Pt 4 - Moisturisers

Hello & welcome to part 4 of my summer series! I thought that I'd talk about my favourite body moisturisers for summer this week! I love moisturisers; there's nothing like having beautifully soft, gorgeous smelling skin.

I don't have dry skin on my body - I'd say it's pretty normal. However, when it comes to summer I love coconut, warm scents that remind me of being on holiday. And typically, these scents are for dry skin. So I look for moisturisers that sink into the skin quickly, leave the skin feeling soft and of course, smelling beautiful! 

Dirty Works Coconut Caress Body Butter

This is described as being 'the perfect cocktail' and I agree! I've reviewed a few Dirty Works products before and I must say, they're incredible. For a brand that you purchase from Sainsburys, I didn't have high expectations really but they surpass them. This body butter in particular has a beautiful, coconut scent that takes me right back to being on holiday. The light moisturiser quickly sinks into the skin and coats it in a lovely layer that ensures skin stays moisturised all day long. The packaging is also amazing and reminds me of Soap and Glory - it's very quirky and definitely fits in with the tub. The price is also very nice; a 300ml tub would cost you just £4.99. You can check out the full brand range here.

Boots Extracts Fairtrade Cocoa Butter Body Butter

I absolutely adore this! It's of a more thicker consistency than the Dirty Works one but it still sinks into the skin well. It has a more chocolatey smell than the Dirty Works one and it really makes me want to eat it up! But of course I can't. So instead I smother my body with this and it envelopes my skin with a gorgeous smell that lasts throughout the day. The skin is definitely left moisturised and like I said, it sinks in quickly and lasts a long time. I'd definitely recommend this for more drier skin types. You can find more information about this product here.

Ministry Of Waxing Ice Cream Cooling Lotion

Now this is a must have for summer! This lotion cools your skin after waxing and of course there's going to be a lot of waxing throughout the summer months as you want to ensure your skin is kept hair free. However if you don't wax, this product is wonderful for shaving or any type of hair removal. This lotion eases burning sensations and also keeps the skin hydrated so it stays soft and silky throughout summer. It is scentless but of course, on a product like this you don't really want a scent. It can also be used on sunburn, hair removal, insect bites, spots and eczema! So like I said, this is definitely a must have for summer. I keep it in my bag at all times. And a little tip for you all - pop it in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation! You can find out more about this product here. 

These are my favourite summer moisturising products.. But what are yours? I'd love to know so leave me a comment or tweet me @bamboozlebeauty!
