Budget Buy: Dermalogica Buffing Cloth

Getting legs out in the sun means one routine, tanning. I'm not talking sitting oiled up with factor 6 in the sun, that was last years routine! Being much more aware of sun damage and protection, this year it's all about fake for me. Let's see how long that lasts but for now I've been using my Xen Tan Dark Lotion Absolute Luxe like no other. (which I reviewed here if you're interested in some meaty fake tan reading)

Scrubbing off that last layer of fake tan can be such a hassle, especially around dry areas like knees where it refuses to come off! That's where I rely on Dermalogica Buffing Cloth to do all my work. It's basically a long cloth that I either scrunch up into a ball or holding each end in each hand and pulling it back and forth (great for reaching my back!) 

When scrubbing off fake tan I usually use it in the shower in conjunction with a body scrub by Soap & Glory. Apply some scrub all over my legs and continue to buff round in circular motions making sure the scrub lathers up. 

I've had my cloth for a good 6 months so it's a little worn away but do make sure to be careful as on first use they are quite rough! I do make sure to moisturise after exfoliating too for really soft skin      

Dermalogica Buffing Cloth is £12 - What do you scrub with?

After The Try, Worth A Second Buy? #2

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant - Very gentle exfoliating powder that I mixed in with my cleanser in the evening just to really feel like I was getting off some grime! I have been using this for about two years now at least once a week as it's a great alternative for sensitive skin girls who don't want to aggravate their skin too much by harsh exfoliating. When used with a gel based cleanser it lathers easily and doesn't give the feeling that you're working away at layers of your skin, followed by being easily removed with cleanser. 

Overall: Yes 

DiorShow Lash Primer - A lash primer I apply before mascara & I have written about this in more depth with before & after photos here.  I was devastaed when I noticed this was coming to its end as I probably use it everyday seeing as I'm all for big lashes and this little tube is my secret! (had it for about a year - pretty good!) 

Overall: Yes

Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Wheat - Used as an eyeshadow primer & I'm actually quite relieved this was finished as I didn't feel it gave my eyeshadows (especially drugstore ones) something to cling onto or helped them to not crease, probably because I was too used to the miracle that is Mac Painterly Paint Pot - link. It did work well at evening out the lids however!

Overall: No

Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy - It's always such a hit or miss with me and Chanel products and this one was a miss. I absolutely loved the colour but the lasting power was rubbish! It was very hydrating and did feel lovely on the lips, not sticky in the slightest but just did not last on my lips at all (half an hour max!)

Overall: No
