McFlavors Aniseed Electronic Cigarette Liquid.




I recently contacted McFlavors on their Twitter page after noticing their tweet asking for testers. As both my partner and I use E-Cig's I thought this would be a brilliant opportunity so I sent them a quick tweet and within the hour I was all set up with my own McFlavors account and they did the rest.

I was asked what sort of flavours I liked and my first choice was the Aniseed as this isn't one I have ever tried before and this is what they sent ... Lucky me! 

This is what I was sent and I absolutely love the retro feel of the packaging and their website is the same.I love all things retro so I instantly liked the feel of the McFlavors website! 





I have included a link above that will take you directly to the site so you can see it for yourself and give it a try if you so wish. The delivery was impressively fast too.

They cost €9.99 each which converts to around £7.

There's a nice little range of flavours to choose from and your bound to find 
something that you will like.

They are very easy to vape and haven't got such a harsh throat hit which 
is something I struggle with with other e-liquids. These however are nice
and smooth with a great taste. The taste isn't too overpowering and 
feels quite natural and nice.

My partner wasn't as keen on it as I was but he tends to opt for menthol or minty
e-liquids anyway but I did like it.

They also give a good amount of 'smoke' which I think is a mind thing with me
as then I feel like I have had my 'cigarette'! LOL!

I will be ordering again as I like them.

St. Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower Lotion.





I requested a sample of this gradual tanning lotion and it finally arrived!
Having been excited to try this out I could hardly wait until the evening when the kids were in bed but as soon as they were settled in the shower I got.

I unscrewed the lid and took off the little silver tab and took a sniff ... Nope no fake tan smell at all, in fact it actually smelt really nice, like a moisturising lotion really. The colour is a pale cream. 

I jumped in the shower, had a wash, etc ... I popped my hair up in bun out of the way so I didn't have wet hair dripping down my back when I applied the lotion. After doing all of this, I turned the water off, grabbed the lotion bottle and squeezed a bit into my hand. I only squeezed out a small amount as I didn't know how much I needed but this lotion does go a long way. I applied it in a circular motion and used around 4 small squeezes of lotion for my whole body. It rubs in well and a little goes so far. I think because you are applying to wet skin it seems to smooth over a lot easier! 
After I was happy I was all covered ... Including my face, neck and ears. I jumped out of the shower and checked the time on my phone so I knew when my 3 minute wait time was up. I wasted a bit of time reading forums on my phone, took a quick impromptu photo of my arm (see below, no difference yet!) and then it was time to get back under the water and rinse off.

For this part you don't use any products like shower gel or soap, just gently rinse and then lightly dry yourself with a towel. At this point there was no noticeable colour change and I didn't expect it yet either, so it was PJ's on , a bit of telly and bed.

I woke in the morning to utter disappointment when I saw no difference in colour at all but I thought, maybe it was so subtle that I just couldn't see it... So I repeated the process again, this time using more lotion and leaving it on for four minutes. I woke in the morning eager to check my tan, and nope nothing! It hasn't made a but if difference. I tried one more time and again it has failed miserably. 

I took before and after photos but I haven't included them as there is no difference in colour what so ever. I am understandably quite gutted about this as I was sure this was going to be a brilliant gradual tanner. 

It's such a shame as it has left my skin feeling nice, smooth and soft but any other moisturiser does that too without having to stand faffing around wet and naked for 3-5 minutes!

Such a shame St. Tropez I wanted this to be awesome but you failed. 

Please feel free to leave me a comment telling me how you have found this product :) x
