What's your Day Job Blogger? Tag.






IMAG0936.jpg
















Before I became a blogger myself and was an avid reader of many, I was, and still am intrigued as to what the blogger does as a day job. 

I was quite envious of people who seemed to blog all the time about fashion, make up and beauty events and seemed to get loads of freebies and seemed to be in the right place at the right time but then I discovered most are full time / freelance journalists, beauty editors or in the fashion / make-up game, any one of these would be my ideal job...(If anyone hears of any opportunities...keep me in mind?!?) ..But most of the blogs I follow seem to be done in the bloggers spare time for a hobby and interest, as mine is.  I’m a full time admin worker at Teesside University, I used to be a beauty therapist, but somehow ended up in admin work, don't love it but it's tolerable and pays the bills, i.e. buys me nice make up. 

So if you are a fellow blogger either comment below with your day job or re do this post mentioning my link, and make sure to send me your link to your tag post so I can have a gander! 

Or if you are a reader of mine and want to know what other blog authors you follow do as a day job give them a quick comment with this tag link and hopefully they will do a post on what their day job is!

VelvoTan Original Tanning Mitt..plus another Cosmo Sponge!

I always used to use latex gloves to apply my self tan, but sometimes with mousse's and sprays they can remain watery in conjunction with the latex glove and take a long time to dry and sink into the skin, which can result in john wayne-esque wandering around the house flapping yourself dry for about 15 mins, or it can result in streaks.  

I first used a tanning mitt to apply my tan, when I bought a Vita Liberata travel kit and the Vita Liberata Mitt was so good, Iwas hooked and the latex glove was never to be used again!

Now it's fair to say I used the Vita Liberata Mitt a bit too much and wore it out.  So I went on the hunt for a replacement. I took heed to the packaging on the VELVOTAN Original tanning Mitt and thought well if it is "The Only way to apply self tan" I best purchase.  

This mitt, whether used with instant wash off tan, mousse or lotion, makes the tan go on quickly, evenly and the tan even seems to dry quicker? Its much better when applying on the hands too as latex gloves can leave a chalky residue which you have to rinse off meaning patchy tan can occur, this is so simple, you tan one hand, then slip the mitt straight on top and tan the other hand, with no risk of streaking !

Yesterday I bought myself a new mitt as again i'm wearing my current one out..(tan addiction?) I popped to Boyes and with all the best intentions to get myself ONE self tan mitt, but hey I walked out with said self tan mitt plus the facial version, HOW CUTE IS IT THOUGH!??! I could not resist!

VELVOTAN Orignal Self Tanning Mitt £1.99 plus VELVOTAN Face Mitt £1.49 both from BOYES







Cosmopolitan Beauty Expert Sponge £3.99 BOYES


Oh yeah,  I also got myself another Cosmopolitan Beauty Expert Sponge (Beauty Blender Dupe) as my other one went missing..... read my blog post on it here,


Do you use a mitt to apply self tan?
