Tanceuticals CC Self Tanning Body Lotion Review



Hi guys!

You asked me what is my secret when self tanning, which products do I use and what are my favourites, so today I'm going to do a review about my favourite self tanning product!

As you guys know, I'm extremely pale skin, and as much as I try to embrace my natural skin colour, occasionally I like to have a nice tan!
I have to be careful when sunbathing (read: I don't), and I avoid tanning beds (they cause skin's premature ageing! I prefer to look pale, rather than old!), so self tanning products are the right choice for me!
I usually self tan in spring & summer (when we wear more revealing clothes), and then give my skin a break in autumn and winter time...
Over the years, I've tried a lot of different self tanning products, but one stood out to me the most!
It's the Tanceuticals CC (color + correct) self tanning body lotion (I have it in dark and it works just great!), made in the USA.
This luxurious CC self tanning lotion will give you a beautiful, natural and long lasting tan (without the sun exposure, or tanning beds!).
It won't streak, or leave you with a weird, orange colour.
It's infused with good ingredients such as Acai Berry, Mango butter and Vitamin E, so it'll moisturize, repair and firm your skin.

The best part is the scent!
It has got a fresh, coconut scent that completely eliminates that funky self tanner smell everyone dislikes! I never before came accross a self tanner that doesn't smell like a self tanner!
Another great thing is that the colour developes in a matter of minutes, you don't have to wait hours to see the results!

With the product, you'll get a tanning mit to help with application.


4.2 fl.oz / 125 ml bottle
+ tanning mit for easier application
This self tanning lotion is really easy to apply- blends easily and dries quickly (non-sticky).
For best results, be sure to exfoliate your skin in the shower before use!
Once completely dry, lightly apply product to skin using a circular motion to the areas you want to tan, starting with your feet and working your way up.
For drier areas like your elbows, knees, hands and feet, use very sparingly, and you can add your regular body lotion afterwards to keep those areas moisturized and to prevent colour build up!
If you don't use a mitt when applying this product, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly after each use.
Once done, let dry a few minutes before putting on clothes or getting into bed.
Ideally, you should wait at least 7-8 hours before sweating or showering (overnight is best).
To maintain your gorgeous tan, use once or twice a week, and make sure to moisturize every day to extend it.

And now, what a lot of you have asked me was to show you the actual results...how it works on my skin...so here it is! Are you ready...??





I love this self tanner also because it's packed full with good ingredients, such as :
acacia decurrens/jojoba/sunflower seed wax/aloe vera leaf juice/vitamin E/rose hip seed extract/pomegranate extract/acai berry fruit extract/grape seed oil/sweet almond oil/macadamia seed oil/shea butter/cocoa seed butter/mango seed butter...

plus, when you take into consideration this aaaamazing coconut scent, who could resist to a product like that?? :)

Hear what else do I have to say about my experience with this product, in my video review, here:

Lijep pozdrav!

Danas vam predstavljam jedan od svojih omiljenih, ako ne i najomiljeniji proizvod za samotamnjenje, a radi se o Tanceuticals CC losionu, koji je proizveden u SAD-u.

Ja sam jako blijede puti, to vec znate...iako se vecinu vremena osijecam dobro u vlastitoj kozi, ponekad se volim vidjeti sa lijepim "preplanulim" tenom.
Pogotovo kada se radi o nekim posebnim prilikama, ili proljetno-ljetnim mjesecima, kada nosimo odjecu koja vise otkriva :)
Buduci da mi suncanje slabo ide od ruke, a solarije izbjegavam od 26 godine (draze mi je da mi koza izgleda bijela kao jogurt, nego stara, hmmm), losioni za samotamnjenje moji su prijatelji!

Tijekom godina, dosta sam ih vec isprobala, od high-end, skupljih, do jeftinijih koji se mogu pronaci u svakoj drogeriji pa i u supermarketu.
Jedini koji me zaista odusevio jest Tanceuticals!

Evo, u par tocki i zbog cega:

  • Daje vam instantnu prekrasnu boju, koja djeluje vrlo prirodno (ne ostavlja cudne tragove na kozi, niti cete izgledati narancasto!)
  • Vrlo je jednostavan za nanosenje (lijepo se upija u kozu, brzo se susi, nije ljepljiv, niti mastan!)
  • Odlicno mirisi- na kokos! To je jedna kvaliteta koju jos nisam srela kod niti jednog proizvoda za samotamnjenje...svi oni, vise manje, ostavljaju na kozi neki cudan miris karakteristican proizvodima za samotamnjenje...ali ne i Tanceuticals! Mogla bih ga pojesti koliko dobro mirisi, hihi!
  • Dugotrajna boja (trajati ce vam 5 do 7 dana, a dovoljno je jedanput-dvaput tjedno nanijeti ga i izmedju aplikacija normalno hranite kozu vasim omiljenim losionom za tijelo.)
  • Prepun je prirodnih sastojaka koji se brinu o vasoj kozi (u engleskom tekstu gore sam ispisala vecinu sastojaka, ali neki od njih koje bih rado izdvojila su vitamin E, maslac manga, ekstrakt voca Acai Berry itd.)
Iz slicica koje sam vam prilozila mozete i sami zakljuciti da je rezultat odlican (ja ga imam u nijansi "dark" ).
Video recenziju pogledajte klikom ovdje, a za dodatna pitanja sam vam na raspolaganju!
Ostavite mi vase komentare, a druzimo se i na facebooku!


Do iduceg posta, saljem vam pusu iz Italije,

Empties # 11: Products I've Used Up & Mini Reviews

Hi dolls, it's time for my "Empties" blog post/video again!
I have accumulated a whole bunch of empty containers, I've used up so many beauty products so quickly! At least it seems so...
I just wasn't able to keep up with all the empties that I have accumulated over the past couple of months, so recently I cleaned out my storage and threw away a whole bag full of empty beauty products (that I haven't even mentioned in "empties" video yet!)

I did that because they were just occupying my storage space and it seemed kind of crazy, to accumulate all that junk!
I wasn't able to film 10 "Empties" videos in a row, so I've decided, I'll take a little break from "Empties" series, and dedicate more time to individual beauty product reviews!

So, after this "Empties #11" you might have to wait for a good while to see another "Empties" video or a blog post...


If you'd like my "Empties" series to continue, make sure to leave me your comment, and "vote" for "Empties #12" to happen... :)


Until then, you can enjoy watching my last "Empties" video here:






These are 15 beauty products that I've used up (make sure to check out my video for mini reviews of every single one of these products!):



Caudualie, L'Oreal, Yves Rocher, Garnier, Balea, Alverde, Aussie, Klorane, I Provenzali and Avon are the brands I've been using the most often over the past couple of months...


The products I ♥ are:


- Caudalie (both products)
- L'Oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Solution
- Aussie Miracle Moist
- Klorane dry shampoo
- Avon Vanilla body scrub


These are the products I recommend and I'm most certainly going to repurchase!


I hope this was helpful!

Leave me your comments, have you ever used any of these products mentioned in this month's "Empties"?

Don't forget to enter my 500K pageviews GIVEAWAY!


Drage curke, zelim vam ugodan pocetak novog tjedna!
Danasnji video/ blog post biti ce "Empties", tj. govoriti cu vam o proizvodima koje sam potrosila te cu vam preporuciti neke od navedenih proizvoda koji su mi se najvise svidjeli!
Ovo ce ujedno biti i posljednji "Empties" koji cu napraaviti i nisam sigurna hocu li nastaviti sa tom serijom na blogu i youtube kanalu...
Nedavno sam shvatila da jednostavno ne mogu pratiti tempo snimanja "Empties" videa, s obzirom na to koliko sam preparativnih i dekorativnih proizvoda uspijela potrositi...u nekom brzinskom roku...ili se barem meni tako cini!

Ustanovila sam da sam skupila punu vrecu "smeca" koje je samo zauzimalo dragocjeni prostor, tako da sam pobacala sve prazne kutijice, bez da sam ih prethodno spomenula u "Empties" videu...jednostavno ih je bilo toooliko puno da nisam mogla sjesti i doslovno cijeli dan provesti snimajuci "Empties" video... O_O

Odlucila sam se koncentrirati vise na individualne recenzije proizvoda koji mi se posebno svide!

Ukoliko ste pak zaista voljeli moje "Empties" videe, ostavite mi vas komentar i "glasajte" da se "Empties" videi vrate :) I mozda bude jedan novi za par mjeseci...ali za sada mi ih je dosta, haha

Na gornjem video- linku mozete pogledati moj zadnji "Empties #11" video, a imate i slicicu proizvoda o kojima vam govorim u videu (ne zaboravite, video je korisno pogledati jer u njemu vam dajem i male recenzije o svakom od tih proizvoda!).

Od navedenih proizvoda, ovaj mjesec vam preporucam da isprobate:

- Caudalie (oba prikazana proizvoda)
- L'Oreal micelarnu vodu za skidanje sminke (ukoliko niste jos, sto cekate? Zaista je super proizvod!)
- Klorane sampon za suho pranje kose (najbolji!)
- Aussie Miracle Moist (odlicna njega za vasu kosu)
- Avon piling za tijelo sa mirisom vanilije (aaaah obozavam!)

To su proizvodi koje cu sigurno ponovno kupiti! Jako su mi se svidjeli, a neke od njih koristim vec godinama :)

Ostavite mi vase komentare, zeljela bih znati da li i vi koristite neke od ovih proizvoda koje sam vam prikazala u "Empties #11"?

I, nemojte zaboraviti, moje DARIVANJE povodom 500K pregleda bloga jos je uvijek otvoreno!
Ukoliko niste jos, prijavite se sada OVDJE!

Nadam se da vam je ovaj post bio zanimljiv i koristan! Pusa iz Italije xo

Empties # 4: Products I've Used Up & My Thoughts (15 Mini Reviews!)

Hello dolls!

How's everyone doing?
I've been a bit absent because of my job, and then, I had to catch up on some basic housework too! ha!
I finally finished ironing the pile of clothes that was waiting on me since...I don't know when...so I feel really good about myself now, and I feel I can treat myself with a quick access to my blog! :)
Sometimes I tend to get "lost" in the beauty community and forget about my "real" life, and then things "to do" accumulate up to a certain point when I can't keep ignoring them!...lol

Now that my home is nice & tidy, and the fridge is full, I can rest and catch up on everything that's new here! :)

While I'm catching up on your blog posts & beauty videos, you can catch up on my latest video where I'm showing you 15 products I've recently used up, and giving you my opinions on them (did I like them? would I repurchase them?)
Hopefully you'll find this video interesting & helpful!




Here are my "empties":

I have quite a few hair care products, some body care, face care...and some make up items too!

Would I repurchase these products?
Would I reccomend these to you?
Find it out in my "Empties" video! :)

I already have newly used up products accumulating for my next "Empties" video! So stay tuned!


Kisss from Italy,

xoxo, S.

Products I've Used Up & My Thoughts on Them

Hello girlies!

This is my very first video of this kind!
Over the past month or so, I was patiently gathering the empty containers of the products I've used up.
When I couldn't fit them anymore into my little carrier bag, I knew it's time to make a video and feature them!

I gathered 15 empties and I filmed a quick review on the products, giving you just a quick thoughts on them, and the final verdict: Will I repurchase them again or not?


You can check out my video here:



Here are all the products that I said good-bye to this time:


You may notice, whenever I can, I cut open my containers, just to be able to use up
every single bit of the product!
Nothing goes to waste, lol!

The best products from the bunch:
Macadamia Natural Oil hair mask
Kiko Make Up Milano Brush Cleanser
L'Occitane Honey hand cream
Yves Rocher Pure Calmille cleansing milk



Did you enjoy watching this video, was it useful?
Would you like to see more of this type of videos in the future?
Let me know! :)


Kiss from Italy,
xoxo, S.

Lierac Paris Diopticalm Soothing Balm & Mask Eye Contour REVIEW

Hello girls!


I'm really happy with the eye cream that I've been using for some time now, so I wanted to share this product with you!

It's Lierac Paris Diopticalm eye balm- mask

Lierac Paris Diopticalm Soothing Balm & Mask Eye Contour

Skin in the eye area is particularly fragile and prone to the appearance of visible signs of aging and fatigue: wrinkles, puffiness, dark circles, redness, etc.

The DIOPTI skincare line from Lierac Paris offers:

- ultra- effective formulas containing high concentrations of plant extracts;
- high- tolerance formulas with no added fragrances, synthetic coloring agents, paraben or phenoxyethanol;
- extremely safe packaging in recyclable aluminum with ophthalmic cannula- type applicator tips for hygienic, convenient and targeted use.

DIOPTICALM ANTI-FATIGUE Instant soothing eye balm- mask is an extremely fresh balm with a fondant texture, containing 34% calming plant extracts (linden, witch hazel, mallow etc.)
It instantly decongests and soothes any irritation, or redness.
The eyelids look more rested, de-puffed, and the eye contour area appears refreshed.

You can use this product as a mask, or as a
regular skincare product.

When used as a mask: Apply Diopticalm in a thick layer and leave on for five minutes. Gently remove excess product.

When used as a regular skincare product: Apply Diopticalm in the morning under makeup or at night after removing makeup, lightly massaging in with fingertips. Reapply during the day if necessary.

Maybelline Instant Anti- Age The Eraser Eye Perfect & Cover Concealer

Hello beauties!

Have you seen yet this new Maybelline concealer, "Instant Anti- Age The Eraser Eye Perfect & Cover Concealer"?
I bought it around this past holiday season, when I was in Croatia visiting my family.
I went to my local DM drugstore & when I saw they had this in stock, I had to grab it!
I'm very pleased with this product, actually this has instantly become my favourite under-eye concealer!

This micro- correcting eye concealer will instantly erase dark circles & fine lines.
It also visibly diminishes under- eye puffiness.

It contains Goji Berry and Haloxyl
(Haloxyl is a combination of active ingredients able to absorb and eliminate colored blood pigments in the skin that are responsible for dark circles. Haloxyl has been designed to reduce dark circles under the eyes. It's a powerful ingredient in the best eye creams.)

The sponge tip aplicator makes this product very easy to apply on the skin.

I've chosen the shade "Fair".
This works great even as a highlighter!

This product will brighten up your under- eye area and instantly make it appear more radiant, younger & fresh looking!
It absorbs instantly into the skin and provides the perfect coverage, whilst also hydrating it!

You can check out my video- review to find out more about this product & how exactly do I use it to acheive the optimal results:

I hope you found this review helpful!

Have a lovely day & kissss from Italy xx

Klorane Dry Shampoo With Oat Milk Review & DEMO

Hello beauties!

I took some time to film & review my favourite dry shampoo, which is by a brand Klorane.

Klorane dry shampoo with oat milk.

I like to use a dry shampoo once a week, and usually it is on Sundays that I'm working (on the weekends I usually work long hours and I don't really have time to wash my hair!).
I'll usually wash my hair twice- three times a week...I'll wash it on Fridays before I start working, and then again on Monday, when it's my day off!
That's why I need a "little something" to get me through the Sundays, when my hair isn't freshly washed, but I still want it to look & feel as if it was!

You can check out my detailed review & a little DEMO on this dry shampoo here:



A dry shampoo will clean your hair without water, in only two minutes!
It's suitable for all hair types and for frequent use.
It is formulated with protecting oat milk, making it appropriate for even the most sensitive scalps.
Corn and rice starch deliver a powerful cleansing action and natural absorbent microspheres eliminate dirt, oil and odors.
Hair instantly regains volume and texture.

It's important to mention that this dry shampoo is paraben- free, sulfate- free and colorant- free.




Directions for use:

Shake well before use and evenly spray 10 inches away from hair, focusing at the roots. Leave on for 2 minutes and then brush thoroughly.

The 5 advantages of KLORANE dry shampoo:

- Cleans hair without water in 2 minutes
- Extends life between shampoos
- Ideal for on-the-go
- Adds volume and texture
- Extends a blow- out.

I repurchased this product several times already and I'm probably already on my third or fourth bottle.
I usually buy it at pharmacies in Italy, or Croatia and it costs around 11€.

I definitely recommend you this product!

Thanx for stopping by!
Have a nice evening beauties :)

Clinique All About Eyes Gel Cream Review

Hello girls!

I wanted to share with you one of my favourite eye cream of the moment: Clinique All About Eyes.
Actually, I've been loving it for a while now, since this is the third little jar of "All About Eyes" that I'm about to use up!
I love how this product feels on my delicate under eye skin: Very light, yet very hydrating.
It absorbs into my skin in a matter of seconds and it smooths out all the fine lines & creates a perfect base for a concealer and a foundation.
In these cold & windy winter days, you can also try out the rich version of this cream.

I usually buy this cream in a travel size kit by Clinique because it's more convenient price wise.
In the kit, you'll get a jar containing 7ml of All About Eyes, and other two Clinique products, for a price of
11 € cca.
Whereas, if buying only the All About Eyes (regular size 15ml), you'll have to pay a little bit over 30€ for it!
What I usually do is, I buy two travel kits and get the 14ml of All About Eyes, plus other 4 products by Clinique  (and the other products are usually the 7 Day Scrub Cream and the Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturizer spf 20.)

I'm just about to ran out of my 3rd little jar of All About Eyes cream.
Apply this cream mornings & nights, with your ring finger, massaging it delicately into your under eye area until it absorbs completely.
Remember that you don't need to exaggerate with this product, it only takes a tiny little dot to make it work!
The 7ml jar usually lasts me up to two months.

You can check out my detailed video review on Clinique All About Eyes here:


I hope this was helpful :)
