Karora Golden Girl Gradual Tan - review

Golden Brown... Texture like Sun... dum de dum, dum dum de dum dum... (stuck in your head yet?)

This Friday I'm drooling over Karora's Golden Girl Gradual Tan.  Not literally, that would be gross. 

Karora are a relatively new, award-winning Irish cosmetics company on the scene dealing with all things tanular.  Their aim is to grace everyone with a bronzed and beautiful glow, whether it's a light tint or a full on deep tan you're after.  This gradual tan is definitely on the lighter end of the spectrum and is perfect for a really natural hint of colour for pasty girls like me.

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle New Bath Ritual - preview

Chanel's latest Coco Mademoiselle products -  bath foam & exfoliant

Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle is (according to Chanel) "a sensual and refined fragrance that combines audacity with elegance".  Unfortunately, for me, it combines headaches and migraines.  But that's me and more fragrances than not, I'm afraid - it's a large bummer as I love the smell of this one for about three minutes before the headache kicks in.  Anyhow, most of my best friends, my mother, my in-laws and my work colleagues wear this and love it.  And so many brides whose makeup I've done for them on their big day use this perfume and love it, that I had to start asking them to use it after I'd left!

So for my friends and for my family, and for all those brides, and for all of you who love Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, you'll be delighted to know that the fresh, oriental composition that has enjoyed such unwavering success (me aside!) since Jacques Polge created the Eau de Parfum in 2001, has got two new products joining the scent family to help you feel just that bit more pampered.
