Vita Liberata holiday glow

So, there have been a few nice days in Glasgow. Finally, we can rejoice and revel in the Spring weather! No more winter coats, bulky jumpers, bobble hats and pasty skin.

Fully embracing the Summer vibes, I went along to an event at Polished salon in the south side, to launch the new range from Vita Liberata.


I've always been interested to dive into the world of sunless tanning (for me, a using a gradual tanner a few times a week is as far as I go)  and Vita Liberata was a brand I'd heard good things about. I was particularly intrigued by their new 'Body Blur' products which promised glowing, natural looking skin. Could it be possible? 

On a glorious Wednesday evening (temperatures soared to 17 degrees!) the girls at Polished let me try out the new products and see how they worked. 



The Body Blur (for face and body) gave an instant, golden finish to the skin which didn't look streaky or patchy. Perfect for an instant boost to your skin before an event or a night out.

The Beauty Blur - a hybrid primer/tinted moisturiser/foundation wonder product - gave my skin a natural finish - like I'd spent all day sunning myself on a beach. A really good one to take with you on holiday for a glowy evening look.

I also picked up the Illuminate Wash Off Body Bronzer, which I am yet to test out.

For those of us in search of exotic, tanned skin for an unpredictable Glasgow summer - Vita Liberata is a great shout. There's no danger of looking orange or over-done here (RIP Dale Winton, we love you but we don't want your tan). Just a natural looking glow that's super easy to do at home (even for a tanning novice like me).

You can find all the Vita Liberata products online or stocked at Polished salon. While you're there, they offer every kind of beauty treatment you can imagine: nails, hair and make-up. Even if you're just looking for some beauty advice, these girls really know their stuff.

Sugar high

Since I've been feeling the Spring vibes recently, I decided to invest in a new perfume for the occasion. The DKNY Delicious Delights are super cute and smell AMAZING. I wanted to buy them all and couldn't decide but in the end I went for the pink: 'Fruity Rooty'. I love the bottle too, it makes me so happy!





I also treated myself to a Tangle Teezer (finally!) I've always wanted to get one because I think they're super handy for carrying around with you. I loved this limited edition Lulu Guinness one.

I also picked up these MUA sweet sheen lip balms - absolutely amazing! They're a total dupe for the Clarins Instant Light Natural Lip Balm Perfector (which I am obsessed with but is nearly finished, sob!) These are almost exactly the same - smooth and creamy, hydrating with a great colour payoff and only a fraction of the price at £2! Which means I might just have to buy all six colours!


What's your favourite thing about Spring? Mine are: cute fluffy bunnies, bright sunny mornings, blossom trees, Easter eggs and wearing yellow!



See you soon! xx

A Week in Turkey

Hello everyone. The past few weeks have been utter craziness in my life! But in a very good way. I've started a new job, which has been taking up a lot of my time, but I was also lucky enough to go away to Turkey for a wee week's holiday with my friend. It was an amazing hotel, in a beautiful location, and we had so much fun! I thought I'd share with you some snaps from the week.


















It was such a good week, I came back feeling so relaxed! I loved the sunshine but now I'm ready for Autumn. I have a lot of Autumn/ Wintery themed blog posts planned!

Also when I was in Turkey I picked up some amaaazing bargains! Loved Marmaris shopping!
(Can't beat a bit of Turkish delight! And apple tea is now going to be my drink of choice at work)
