Hey guys! The sun is finally here, so that means it’s time to get those legs out. Before you do so, I’m sure a lot of you out there are looking to break out that fake tan for a safe way to have that golden glow without the sun damage. It’s important to find the right fake tan for you though before taking that plunge. What shade of fake tan are you seeking? Is it an easy to apply, streak-free tan? Is it an easy and fast fake tan to apply? Sooo many things to consider.

To try to make that task a little easier, today I will be reviewing a popular tanning product from a popular tanning brand. The Skinny Tan Coconut Water Tanning Mist is a medium shade mist tanner, so instead of a mousse or a cream it’s like misting a body spray onto the skin before rubbing it all in. 

It is designed to leave you with a quick and easy, streak-free tan in a medium shade that lasts up to 14 days. On top of that, the coconut water included in the formula helps to tone the skin and moisturise without any oiliness. Win win! 

It has a coconutty summer scent to the tanner so there’s no typical fake tan smell during application. It also contains no guide colour so there’s no streaky orange bedsheets in the morning. 

It comes packaged in a clear plastic spray bottle that holds 150ml of product and the tanner itself is clear in colour also. 

In addition to the Coconut Water Tanning Mist, I also have the Skinny Tan Dual Tanning Mitt, so I’ll be reviewing that within this review also.

So I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the weather is starting to get a bit warmer again. This tends to make me a little excited, how about you? It's definitely inspired me to write about a collection that screams summer.

Crabtree & Evelyn have recently re-formulated products within their sea-inspired, La Source range. This re-formulation sees the introduction of four new marine blends that each contain the new “hero ingredient”, Green Seaweed Extract. In each, the Green Seaweed Extract is combined with a specific Marine-Based ingredient to “boost skin benefits”.

The four blends are:

Refreshing Marine Blend - this blend includes Brown Algae Extract in addition to the Green Seaweed Extract. It provides moisturising, cleansing and purifying actions.

Hydra Marine Blend - Blue Sea Lavender Extract works alongside the Green Seaweed Extract in this blend for a nourishing and purifying effect.

Restorative Marine Blend - Red Sea Algae Extract and Green Seaweed Extract make up this blend that is designed to be protective on the skin.

Rejuvenating Marine Blend - Sea Fennel Extract combines with the Green Seaweed Extract in this final blend that lives up to its name, acting as a rejuvenating combination. 

They have also introduced two brand-new products to the range: the Eau de La Source EDT

I'll go more in depth on each of the items below rather than here, and review them at the same time. You can also find information about where to purchase any of the La Source items spoken about within this post at the end.
