I am VERY pale and the only self-tanner I ever loved was way back in the early 90s. It was by Lancome and called "Esprit de Soleil". It was a moisturiser/self-tanner and looked 100% natural on me.

I have since tried St Tropez, Xen-Tan, Lancome flash bronzer, etc. No luck at all - all too orangey and fake-looking. I have never found anything close to replacing that old product.

Will try Clarins next (I've certainly heard good things about it). If that doesn't work, I'll maybe think about giving up the quest for a tan!

Boots no 7 blusher in honey shade. I have used it for years and now they've got a complete new colour range in more pinky tones which doesn't suit me at all. Even the lady on the counter said she was surprised it had been discontinued as it was so popular.
Why do companies do this?

Not beauty, but I used to love the smell of Kamillosan nipple cream and it worked beautifully. Tbh it was lovely on dry skin in general
I had such fragrant and resilient nipples. DC 2 is imminent. I mourn the fact that this time round I won't have such fragrant nipples, cuticles and feet.
