Australian Gold: Urban Legend



Australian Gold is ever so popular for creating many indoor and outdoor tanning lotions, many with a bronzer or a tingle. This lotion in particular has a dark tanning bronzer that produces immediate colour, with a light shea butter scent.

The reason this lotion was perfect for me was because of its ColorGuard technology using Tiger Grass extract, which helps my tattoos from fading and soothes the skin. As an avid tanner, I have 11 tattoos and have spent over $600 on them so there's no way I'm not going to protect them each session!

I have tried other lotions before in a sample size but I have to say that this is by far my favorite as far as bronzer lotions go. I paid $50 for the bottle and so far it has lasted me 5 months and counting, which is great considering I put a pretty generous amount each session.

I give Australian Golds Urban Legend lotion a 9/10 for:
- Dark tanning ability
- Light scent
- ColorGuard technology

Diorshow Iconic Extreme Mascara



With this being my first post ever, I decided to do a review on the Diroshow Iconic Extreme mascara. After having gone through so many different kinds of mascara over the years, I always stuck with the drugstore brands from Maybelline's "Falsies", to Rimmel London's "Sexy Curve", I decided to try a designer brand name for once.

First off, I spent $34, which is definitely out of my price range for a mascara but I wanted to see if the fact that it was more expensive and a designer name would make it any better. The brush applicator is really great and easily catches those lashes on the inner and outer corners of the eye. I also liked that the applicator doesn't catch too much mascara, because we always want to avoid clumps! It perfectly curled my lashes and it great for people like me who have long lashes but not a lot of volume. So if you're looking for a voluminous mascara this is definitely the one for you! (If you're willing to spend the money)

I give the Diorshow Iconic Extreme mascara a 8/10 for:
- Easy application and great applicator
- No clumps
- Very voluminous!
