Garnier Body Summerbody Light Moisturising Lotion

I'm not one for fake tan, yet I seem to have a collection of different fake tanning products, from St.Tropez to Garnier I've made a large collection that I don't use. However, I recently saw this Garnier gradual tanner product and decided to give it a go as it was less commitment than a full blown fake tan, that tends to not look great on my skin tone.

The product:


The product is white, which can be off putting for some people as it's harder to see where you've put the product, however I feel that if you work in a methodical way, it's easy to get a streak free tan.

The smell is the perfect for me because it smells of apricots and aftersun, which I associate with holidays - so even smelling the product brought a smile to my face! This also means that the product doesn't have that distinct fake tan 'biscuit' smell.

I also like the fact that it is a moisturiser as well as a tanner because I have such dry skin, its two steps in one.


Application:


I applied the product in circular motions, starting with my legs and then working the product into my arms and rest of my body - it was easy to apply and the product isn't too thick so it doesn't feel greasy on the skin.

The only downside is that I feel the tanner did take quite a while to sink into the skin, so even though it wasn't greasy, I found myself with my arms up for a while trying not to get the product everywhere!

The results:

I managed to achieve a natural, light looking tan overnight, and (apart from one patch under my arm I somehow managed to miss) my tan seemed to be even and otherwise not patchy! Success!

Overall, I feel that this is the perfect product if you want a natural looking 'glow' more than an obvious brown colour.

Where to begin..

I don't at all know where to start! Other than to tell you that my name is Tash - well Natasha, but no one really calls me that - and I am 18 years old. I will be turning 19 in about 3 weeks and its a weird age. Turning 18 was such a hyped age, I could now legally do almost anything I wanted. Now, I find myself a bit lost. 19. Not a child anymore, yet still not really an adult, I've still got 2 weird middle years between me being 18 and 21, the two most monumental birthdays for a young person. What a weird thought, however I can't help but feel like i've gone slightly off topic...

Anyway, here's my first blog post in all its glory. My blog is A day in the life of Tash, which means I can go in any direction I choose with this!! I'm thinking I want my blog to be a bit of everything - lifestyle, exciting memories and moments, travel, DIY, showing you my YouTube videos (yes i'm promoting my own youtube channel in my own blog, don't judge me like that) and even potentially some cooking and motivational posts. I'm excited to begin.

As someone, somewhere, at sometime once said,

To Begin, Begin.

So here we go..

Tash.
