Bondi Sands VS Bellamianta

Welcome back!!

So if you're reading todays blog post I'm guessing you love tan?

Also the next guess is you've heard about BOTH these tan's by now! As they have become very much VIRAL over the last couple of months!

So after some time reviewing each I've picked my favourite and why!

Bondi Sands

I firstly become aware of this tan through social media like Instagram (janat_blossomingbeauty). The pictures were everywhere showing off a gorgeous deep colour on the most beautiful girls! And of course I was thinking straight away I had to try it! It wasn't for couple of weeks later that I seen Chemists like Mulligans began stocking them and I picked myself up the Tanning foam in DARK!
Lets start with the

PRO's

• You will smell like a giant coconut... Who doesn't want that?
•  Easy application but must use the right glove! I used glove your body
• Colour guide
• Wears off nicely
• It will not wash down your drain after your first shower!

CON's

• Definietly not as dark as I thought. Pictures online were not true to colour!
• Transfers onto bed sheets
• A lot of product needs to be used
• Does not exfoliate off well!!
• EXPENSIVE 22 Euro

Overall my first I'mpression I was left disappointed. I wasn't happy with the colour at all as I wanted the colour I saw on their models! After my first try I really felt the pictures were misleading and not true to colour!

On the second application I prepped really well (I always would) But I took extra care this time hoping I would be as impressed as I saw others were, and I wasn't. Again It was not 'DARK' at all.

And to save you the read and me the typing, all my other applications were the same.

I've decided to leave this tan as my go to Day tan, when I originally wanted this to be used for a dark glow on a night out. It's strange to me that the Dark colour was so light! But I will say it is a nice tan to wear throughout the week/day.

Bellamianta Tan LOTION

So again, you've probably heard of this tan!! Everyone from SoSueMe to Tara Makeup is wearing it!! So it was be good, right? Well I had to try myself, and I LOVE!

Again I myself seen this on social media and needed it, After being disappointed with my other attempt looking for a night tan, I was praying this would work for me!

The best thing about this tan is the NO SMELL and the OLIVE tone to it, perfect for all skin types in my opinion and especially us Irish gals!

PRO's

• Dries in 60 seconds
• Olive tone, great for all skin types
• NO transfer
• SO EASY to apply
• Water resistant
• Colour Guide
• Even wear off
• Buildable colour without streaks
• ODOURLESS

CON's

• Ehhh... There's no bigger bottle?
• Expensive
  
  
  
  
  

  
  

I really can't find a fault in this tan. It has suited me so much regarding colour, how easy it applies and everything inbetween. It IS true to pictures and has absolutely no odour. This has definitely been easy for me to love!

The olive tone compelelty keeps you away from the horrid 'Orange' look and gives you the most amazing dark but natural tan!! If you're looking for a great tan this is definielty a must!! At 20 Euro it is expenisive but worth every penny!!

Bellamianta wins this one for me! I find it hard to even compare this to ANY other tan I've used!! I will definielty be keeping this one in my drawer!

Thanks for reading, I hope you've enjoyed it!

All the best,

Polar White Pro - Review

Hi all !!

I'm back after a long, unintentional break from my blog!!

I was super busy but in the meantime I have been gathering some new content for you all!

If you follow my snapchat (bbeauty_jan) you would of seen I was sent some amazing products from Karora Cosmetics, which I'm happily trailing now and loving to review later!

In that package was a product I have previously tried in the past.

With this particular product I wasn't going to write a review as I don't like to spend much time writing about something I don't believe in. Also it takes time away from writing good, positive content.

But now that I have received it as part of a package I feel I need to.

This is by no means a blog to 'bash' the product. I'm simply sharing my experience with you and how I felt about it overall.

So I firstly came across the Polar White Pro at the Irish Beauty Show last year. I was searching for a teeth whitening product that was easy and convenient for some time, so when I seen this at one of the makeup stands I didn't hesitate in buying it (I have no will power) for €10 I couldn't  leave it there..Could I?

Later that week I was excited to try it, expecting gorgeous pearly whites after consecutive use. I read through the instructions and thought THIS IS GREAT, so easy, no fuss !!

Until I actually began.

So I done as instructed ..

1. Rotate pen to dispense product into brush.. CHECK 

2. HOLD A WIDE SMILE.... and apply product to teeth, WITHOUT touching gums or lips... Eh check 

3. Leave for 20 minutes without rinsing, eating or drinking. Check! 

Sounds easy right?

** THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT COME WITH A GUM GAURD OR TRAY**

I done all the above and immediately became annoyed with the process, how on earth am I expected to stand there and hold a wide, abnormal smile for 20 minutes??

What happened next you're probably wondering? 

- Immediately my face and cheeks began to hurt due to the creepy, wide smile I had to pull will looking in at myself trying not to laugh!! 

- My lips became as dry as the Sahara Desert  which was obviously painful.

- My mouth began to produce excess saliva, this then began to wash away the product because it was so hard not to swallow!!

After 10 minutes the product was gone, I gave up and thought the pain in my cheeks is NOT worth pearly whites!

But I gave it another go two days later.. I REALLY wanted this to work!

But unfortunately all the above happened again,

•Sore face

•Lips like Mahatma Gandhi's flip flop

•Dribbles

...

This time I experienced something different, My teeth felt very sensitive afterwards which I didn't like as I wanted to use something safe all along, and this made me doubt the product. After brushing my teeth I noticed I had one or two patches on my teeth, almost like it had eaten away at my tooth. So I decided there and then I wasn't going to try this again.

I was really disappointed in the product overall! It wasn't easy or convenient and has really almost made me scared to try another brand/product like this,

I think it would of worked  better with a gum shield or tray (which I considered buying after trial one)

I'm by no means bashing this product, it just didn't work for me and because it was my first I'm reluctant to try another. Maybe I'll leave it to the professionals and go to the dentist!!

Lastly I want to let you know I bought the first with my own money, yes I was sent the same product but I have not used it which I feel terrible about because I would of said no if I had of know it was the same one!! I hope this read was informative and I would love to hear on how it worked for you if you have tried it!

But that's all for tonight,

See you soon!!

Janat
