H&M Perfume - copy cat!

I just had to write a quick post about this perfume I picked up in H&M today for £3 for 50ml! It was the bottle that caught my eye at first but the scent is what sealed the deal - it smells almost exactly like a perfume I used to love - Juicy Couture! (which retails at about £40+)

Great wee bargain - have you found any 'copy cat' perfumes?

Review: St.Moriz fake tan mousse

 The past few days I've not had to scrape ice off my car in the morning, and Mr.sun has made a few rare appearances so I'm well and truly declaring it time to get the old pins tanned up again! 

I've been using St Moriz fake tan mousse for years and swear buy it. It gives you a nice natural colour, and doesn't break the bank! When applying it you'll definitley want to use plastic gloves or a mit to save your hands getting a bit of a leathery look - I've been buying ones like this from ebay.

You can buy a 200ml bottle of the mousse in Watt Brothers, Superdrug (I think) for around £4.99, but you can get it in Semi-Chem for £2.99!

I've tried the spray mist in the range too, but it was a bit messy and I ended up giving the walls/floor/wardrobe more of a bronze glow than myself. You can also get a 'dark' colour, but by dark....boy do they mean dark!

I'll definitely be using this in Summer 2013, I'd also be quite interested to see a gradual tan/summer skin type product from them!


Price - £2.99

Colour - Medium - natural golden brown once washed off (brown guide colour shows you where it's been applied)

Texture - mousse that rubs in quite liquidy

Smell - not too bad at all

Staying power - lasts 2-3 days (also re-applies well)
Downsides - goes on darker at dry bits (knees, elbows)

Overall - 4/5

Review: Miss Sporty Perfect Colour Lipstick

Miss Sporty - Perfect Colour Lipstick 'I poke' - Buy here

How exciting, this is my first ever post for 'Beauty and the Bargain' 
I was in Superdrug the other day having a nosey and came across the Miss Sporty stand which was looking very colourful with it's new spring collection. It's not usually a brand I would buy, but I noticed the bargain prices and couldn't resist. I picked up a lipstick for £2.59 and couldn't be happier with it. It's a gorgeous peachy/pink colour, goes on really smoothly and has a nice fruity taste - I'll definitely be going back to see what other colours they have. Do you use Miss Sporty products? -  Leave a comment below!

Price - £2.59

Colour - peachy pink/coral

Texture - glides on and feels nice & smooth

Taste/Smell - fruity!

Staying power - Needs topping up after eating/drinking

Overall - 4.5/5 a lovely lipstick for the bargain price!
