Morning all
Fake tan - the St Tropez shower one doesn't smell at all. It takes a few applications to build up some colour, but it works very well on my very pale skin. I have three tubes left over from last summer and I'm hoping that it hasn't gone off. It says to wait a few days between applications, but when I start off using it, I use it every day, and only when I have some colour do I then start applying every few days.
Beauty flash balm - I agree, its one of those things that you might not see the effects of yourself. I found it took too long to dry on my skin, and I am always in a rush, so it didn't work for me. I really like Estee Lauder illuminating primer, and I like Dior glow something mixed in with foundation or BB cream to give more of a glow.
Storage - I have a bag per type of item. So separate bags for each of eye make up, blushers and bronzers, foundations and tinted moisturizer and BB cream, primers, lipsticks and lip liners and glosses etc. Bigger things like shampoos, conditioners, sun creams, body moisturisers etc have their own separate storage too. I buy those sturdy woven type cubes (no lids) and they live in an enormous under sink cupboard in the bathroom.
Another empty - my first used up lipstick for what must be more than a decade. Estee Lauder barely nude. I will definitely repurchase (but not yet) as it is an everyday colour and I use it loads.
