#ealtryouts TanOrganic self tanning oil application and review + VIDEO

7:03 AM

Hello lovelies.... we know its been a while but things have been super hectic here at #ealhq between myself (Aideen) being super preggo and Emily starting up in a new position and work AND organising her wedding..... Actually yesterday I had a little baby shower so look out for my detailed post and pics later this week!!

For todays #ealtryouts post I have a product review for you all and it is the TanOrganic self tanning oil which I received in one of my Into The West Blogger Network goody bags-it costs €24.99 and is available HERE

Over on the tanorganic site there is an amazing offer to get their full

range of products for just €70 HERE. After using the oil I would love to try

them all especially the multi use dry oil and the duo bronzer looks AMAZING!!

Here are the deets from their website for the self-tanning oil:

A TREAT FOR YOUR SKIN : TanOrganic’s revolutionary Self-tanning Oil is a beautiful moisturising dry oil with a subtle tan. A unique blend of 8 different skin nourishing plant oils including Borage seed oil, Argan oil and Orange peel oil, TanOrganic Self-tanning Oil will leave your skin looking, and feeling amazing.

ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS : TanOrganic is the worlds first and only Eco-certified Self-tanning brand and made wholly from natural and organic ingredients.

NO FAKE TAN SMELL : TanOrganic’s all natural formula contains no perfume’s or fragrances, so no more nasty fake tan smell.

FUSS FREE APPLICATION : Super simple to use, just apply like any other body oil, wipe the palms of your hands and you’re done.

QUICK DRYING AND ZERO TRANSFER : TanOrganic’s Self-tanning Oil is absorbed very quickly into the skin and is a clear liquid, so there is no risk of transferring to your sheets or clothes.

I had my cousins wedding last week so I wanted a little glow for my super pale skin-we have had a very wet miserable summer here in Ireland!!

I made a quick video for you to check out all about how I apply the Tan and also the results you can expect-after the overnight developing I had a super golden tan which was lovely but not the right shade to match with my make up so I then did a quick exfoliation to achieve the light golden glow I wanted. The oil was a real treat for my skin as at the moment it is quite dry-I also loved how quick the oil dries into the skin so no waiting around.

Please check out my video and enjoy.

#ealtryouts Afternoon Tea at the G Hotel Galway

12:07 PM

Hello lovelies,

This past Sunday me and my friends were over-due a meet up and chat so I went ahead and booked afternoon tea at the G hotel for us. Only one of my friends had done the afternoon tea before so we were all so excited to try it out and it did not disappoint-First of all I have to say the service we received was amazing and the staff tending to us were all so helpful and kept our teapots topped up!!

So what do you get in the afternoon tea deal?? Well what you see in the photos below is what is served to share between two people so we had two of these platters for our group of four and it was plenty-we were all left feeling full and happy on our way home.

On one plate there was all of our little sandwiches which went down a treat with our resounding favourite being the little wraps-small but so flavoursome!! After the sandwiches, we went onto the delicious fresh scones served with butter, cream and jam.... they were just the perfect size. Last but not least were the selection of sweet treats with the favourite being the carrot cake for sure-it was so light and the perfect ending to our tea.... speaking of tea there is a nice selection of teas on the menu-the girls had tea and I had berry tea as recommended by one of our servers and it was yum.

The cost of afternoon tea is €42 for two people so it only cost €21 each and it was so worth it-we were able to have a lovely catch up and chat while having so much fun trying all our little treats.... also on the menu there is an option for a kids afternoon tea so I will definitely be back with my daughter-she would love the experience!!

The next into the west blogger network meet-up is on in the G next month and I for one cannot wait,

#ealtryouts Nia natural skincare facial cleansing balm and hydrating mist

11:36 AM

Hello lovelies-so as some of you may have noticed we are HUGE fans of Nia goodies here on EALoves!! Their products are all natural, smell AMAZING, are affordable and give great results what more could you want????

So when I saw that they were coming out with some new goodies-I was DELIGHTED to find out that we were going to get to try them out so thank you so much to Celia and the Nia team for sending these to us to try #ealtryouts

Both Emily and I suffer from dry skin so Nia products are made for us-the first product I used us the Calendula and Orange blossom 2 step facial cleansing balm available HERE for €19.95!! This is such a great price because one tin will last you ages-the formula is buttery and so easy to spread on the skin you don't need much at al to cover the face and neck so it's great bang for your buck... We all know we need to moisturise our dry skin but also we need to cleanse off any dead skin too and a gentle product is what we want...

Let me go back for a second and also mention the pretty packaging-I love the you are amazing detail as you open the box it's such a lovely touch...

Now onto the cleansing process-step one is to dampen your face and neck area and apply a small amount of product using the handy spatula included in the package. As with all Nia goodies-the cleanser smells so beautiful and it so easy to apply. Step two is to rinse the cleansing cloth also included and wring it out before sweeping over the face to remove the cleanser and leaving super soft skin behind!!

The next product I used after my cleansing is the intensive restoring facial hydrating mist available HERE for 19.95-made with oat and aloe the mist feels so good on the skin and dries in quickly and easily-no sticky residue!! You can use the mist throughout the day to refresh the skin and it can even be used over make-up BONUS!!

If you are yet to try Nia goodies you should pop over to their site and check out their range of goodies HERE

Angel By: Thierry Mugler Lotion Review

Hello Lovelies!

Emily here with a quick review of the ANGEL by Thierry Mugler Perfuming Body Lotion that Aideen kindly shared with me, from her ITWBN goodie bag that she received at the last blogger meet up #ealtryouts

My first impression on this lotion is that the packaging is very nicely done. I loved how the shimmery finish really gives the product a luxurious feel. Now to be completely honest, I have mixed feelings as far as the actual lotion goes. A bit of a warning to those sensitive to strong scents or perfumes, this lotion is VERY fragrant! Though the scent is quite nice, I found it slightly overpowering. Though, I did find that if I applied the lotion to my hands, waited for a couple of minutes, and then wash my hands, the scent was still there but more subdued and to my liking. Now, on the other hand, the actual lotion itself really impressed me. It has a very silky constancy that absorbs quickly into the skin without leaving a greasy residue. I was also impressed, by how long my hands stayed moisturized after applying this lotion, especially due to the fact that I pretty much washed it off shortly after applying it.

So, I’m not sure if this is lotion is something I would purchase myself, simply due to how fragrant it is, and my tendency to be a bit sensitive to strongly scented products. But, I do have to say for those of you not who are not bothered by strongly scented products, it is a very unique scent that I do quite like; I just wish that it were a little less strong.

Emily
