Sunkissed Luxury 'Bronze Professional' review

After working with Sunkissed twice before, I was super excited to get an email from them about their new range of luxury tanning products. I've never been disappointed with their products and honestly wouldn't even bother trying other brands because the quality of theirs is so good! 

They have recently launched their new Bronze Professional line which consists of a once a week mouse and a 60 minute moisturising spray. I've always preferred mouses personally so chose to try the new one in shade medium as i'm naturally very fair in complexion. 

Once it arrived the packaging they sent it in was so cute! (Unfortunately by the time I got home and opened it I was so tired I forgot to take a picture) But it was wrapped in loads of pink tissue paper!!

The bottle itself is really visually attractive and will definitely appeal to people when choosing a tanning product. 

I love the colour of the bottle and it definitely stands out as more luxurious than their previous packaging. Also my legs in the photo are after just one application and letting it develop over night! 

To show you all how it looks, I did a before, during (right leg after application) and then both legs straight after application to show how instant the results are and a comparison to my natural skin colour.  

   

The product itself smells amazing, as per usual, and has a toffee-like scent unlike most tanning products which give it away from the smell! 

After letting it develop over night I washed off the initial colour in the bath - so obviously had to take a typical Instagram photo. No shame. 

My legs felt so moisturised even after bathing so I didn't even need to apply anything else which was a bonus as I tend to get quite dry legs. 

I've had compliments on my tan ever since using the product, and finally baring the not so warm weather with my legs on show. I since also applied it to the rest of my body and face with great results and absolutely no streaks!

Most people haven't even guessed it's fake tan due to how natural the colour is and is doesn't have any orangey tones like other brands. 

I know getting a natural tan is fab, but with this weather and the risks to your skin, I'd 100% recommend using Sunkissed products to achieve a natural tan which is build-able and nourishing. 

You can buy the products from https://www.sunkissedbronzing.co.uk/ and you can also find all their social media pages below.

Personal thanks to Charmie who contacted me regarding the collaboration, and of course the whole Sunkissed team for making me glow this summer! 

Meet my fave summer cover-up

The weather is so lush at the moment, plus i'm actually going out later this evening, so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to get an outfit post done! 

Meet my new giraffe shirt; I fell in love with it the first time I saw it in H&M, but i've never really been one to wear anything like this - I like fitted cardigans/ jackets, or just go bare armed and brave the weather. But this was way too cute to not purchase! 

I've been wearing it constantly with every possible clothing combination I can think of, and I will 100% be buying another in the same style (different pattern obviously!) as it's quickly become my new go-to for shoving on over whatever I wear out. 

For this evening I've paired it with a pair of comfy shorts and an off the shoulder floaty top. Both can be bought in a range of colours, I definitely love a white summery top though. 

To try dress the whole look up a tiny bit I've added the gold cuff bracelet plus this necklace which adds to my safari-esque look I have going on with the shirt. I don't usually wear bracelets but this ones so simple and can go with pretty much anything.

Chunky sandals are 100% my staple shoe of the summer, I had my white ones that I practically lived in last year, and this year these are my new faves. I'm quite short so they add a little bit of height without wearing stilettos out. They're also great for this evening as they suit both day and night time.

Also, make sure you enter my Fullips enhancer giveaway! Rules for entry are on the previous post!

Giveaway! Fullips lip enhancer!

Okay, so Kylie Jenner is definitely most people's pout inspo, but mine is defo Pia Mia. 

After searching and searching on how to make my tiny lips look big and actually noticable, I came across Fullips. A natural way of enhancing your pout without any pain, injections or permanent changes! 

 

A small plastic suction device which can make my lips look like Pia's? YES PLEASE! 

After trying out the enhancer a few times, I actually decided to message the owner of the company, Linda, and let her know about how great my results had been. 

Being the amazing and lovely lady that she is, she quickly responded and asked which enhancer I had tried - much to my surprise she wanted to send me the small oval to try out and target certain areas! So I was completely over the moon when I got a parcel within a few days containing all 3 of the enhancers, a lipgloss and exfoliating brush!

Anyway, lets get to the good bit- Because she sent me the whole collection, I have an unused medium oval (which is my personal favorite)!

Over July I am going to hold a giveaway competition running across my blog, Facebook and Instagram where one of you lucky ladies can win the unused enhancer, and even a lipstick from one of my new favorite collections (that's a surprise though!)

The results I have achieved over a few months are unreal, and i've managed to train my lips to stay fuller for longer through daily use. 

Now for the boring bits. 

Rules for entry: 

• Must be following my instagram- lauren_rebeccaxo and like the post about the giveaway
• I will notice you more if you share the image on my instagram about the giveaway and mention the prize (make sure to tag me) and like my blogs Facebook page
• UK ENTRIES ONLY

I will choose a winner on the 1st of August, and contact the winner via email, Instagram, or Facebook. 

Good luck lovelies!

Update on me & my newest wishlist

I am super sorry I haven't updated my blog in almost 2 months! I've been really overwhelmed with college work/ my new job so just kept pushing it to one side, but I promise I won't let it slide again!

Anyway, I just wanted to update you all on what's been going on with me recently; I've just finished my art A level which means I NEVER have to do art EVER again!!! This honestly makes me so happy because it's stressed me out so much over the past year, I really thought about giving up so many times, but the idea of going to study my dream course (which is now my firm choice) got me through it!
I also started bartending, something no one expected, but I'm absolutely loving it and the people I work with.

Now finally something fashion related; here's my latest wishlist (all of which I can't afford right now) but a girl can dream!

If you click the photo you'll be redirected to my polyvore set where you can find trackable links to everything above!

I promise to update again this week!

I'm so fancy - Slogan sweat and tee

I'm getting so bad at keeping up with my blog atm, so I'm super sorry about how overdue this outfit post is! I promise i'm going to start blogging more again! 

Okay so first off, my bestest friend got me this Missguided crop tee for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I'm going to uni in September to study fashion styling, so this is honestly the perfect top for me, it's super comfy and a really thoughtful present. 

Due to it still being pretty cold, i'm still living in cosy jumpers. So when I saw this ASOS sweat I HAD TO buy it! I'm not sure if I can call it a talent, but knowing every lyric to Fancy by Iggy is definitely my idea of impressive - obviously I needed the sweater. 

I also got some super cute new Topshop shoes for day or night, plus a going out bag since I've been out a lot more than I expected - being 18 is fab, but also very expensive. Fave thing about the bag is the texture, definitely one of my top purchases this year so far. 

I can't forget my Zara shorts, they were a birthday present from my dad (when he didn't want to contribute towards my tattoo). Their Trafaluc collection is always so amazing, and these are so me - monochrome, comfy and stylish.

However, my number 1 item of clothing right now is my quilted jacket from H&M! I wear it constantly, and it's my go to for a night out - It ties around the strap of all my bags so I don't have to lug about a jacket all evening, plus it's so warm when leaving in the early hours!

EthicalBox collaboration

Collaborating with companies is one of my favorite things about blogging; speaking to and working with people who are interested in the same things as me, and being able to share this with my readers. This is what makes this collaboration so special, working with people who share my values.

When I saw that EthicalBox were advertising to work with bloggers on their instagram page, I immediately posted my email for them to get in touch - opportunities like this are definitely unmissable, especially for relatively new bloggers (like me). So I was super excited when I got an email about working with them and promoting their new and improved site!

To ensure that all their stocked products are ethical, they have a range of criteria which any company wishing to sell their products should meet. The minimum which every seller has to meet are: no sweatshops, no child labour and proven respect for core internationally recognised workers rights.
Other than these they have 15 other criteria which some sellers comply by if their products go beyond the minimum standards. (Click on the icons to read more about each ethical criteria.)

Below I've put together my top 9 products which are currently available on the site, I've added a link to the photo so you can go straight to the section where they're all found. 

These dainty jewellery pieces, tribal inspired clutches and leopard print are my absolute faves, not forgetting those fab chelsea boots! 

Supporting ethical brands is 100% worth your time.
