Hello Summer! It seems this week we have a bit of sunshine here, and that makes Clairemae feel rather happy. I must admit i'm not one for going out and catching the rays and trying to get some colour - infact my skin gets pretty irritated by the sun (perhaps because it doesn't know how to react!) I'm quite indoorsy so i do cheat a little so i don't quite look as grey when i do go out. But overall theres something about the sun that makes me feel all happy, being able to go for walks, picnics.
Heres a few things i've been using this week.
First with the fake.. on a night i've been using a bit of Dove's summer glow. This is a gradual tanning moisturiser  which adds a little bit of healthy colour which doesn't look fake or orange. Next the St Tropez perfect legs fake tan, now i've only used this a few times and i have seemed to manage an ok job of it! My legs are so white as they just never see daylight outside without a pair of tights hiding them, still with a little bit of tan i'm hiding them a little as there not my most attractive body part... but every little helps.

I've not posted one of these in a while, with moving and not having spare money to splurge on beauty products it seems i've been making use of what i already have. These products this month make me feel fresh for for summer, so let me share;
I picked up this new Elemis Flash Balm sample in Red magazine. (purley bought the magazine for the sample..! £2 in Tesco). As my Clarins beauty flash balm is on its way out, i'm hoping this is going to prove an alternative for my primer. This can be used as a moisturiser  primer or a radiance boost. It has a bit of a odd smell i can't yet work out, but leaves a shimmery finnish on the face.
Now this is something, the Weleda Skin Food. I received in a Birchbox this is the thickest and most nourishing cream i have had hold of, I first used this on my face when it needed a little pick me up, but i have discovered the best place i've used this is on my tired feet (Yuk i know) But i have smothered my feet in this stuff before putting on some comfy slipper socks. It works!
