Champney’s, Citrus
blush Enlivening Body Butter
I have to say I love this cream. The first thing I noticed
is how quickly it absorbed in to the skin. Some heavier butters and creams of
this richness slow you down because you are rubbing
it in for ages! This ‘Little Pick Me Up’ (as it says on the lid) is perfect
after your morning shower, even if you’re running late. The packaging is in a
nice size tub of summer in yellow and looks like an indulgent luxury treat
before you even open it. The Butter feels rich in consistency but not as heavy
or greasy as some of the other brands. It moisturises immediately, absorbs
quickly without leaving your skin clammy or too shiny. Some moisturisers are
water based emollients and so one can feel dry after a few hours of being
exposed to all the dust and fumes of outside. Champney’s Body butter disappears
and does the job as if you’ve actually been to the Spa. If that wasn’t all
enough, then there’s the refreshing smell of citrus that wakes you up and sets
a burst of summer on to your skin to start your day.
Not many people know how to use bronzer properly, if you are
one of those people this bronzer is
for you. If you are a bronzer pro, intending to YouTube Bronzer tutorials
usually the idea is that it can be used for contouring, looking Sun kissed or adding some shimmer. How bronzer
is usually applied is by highlighting cheek bones and framing the face. So you
can brush over your forehead, where the sun hits your face, sweep down the
centre of your nose and for a little trouble (where I like it) the plump of the
cleavage. Unfortunately this bronzer could not be used so liberally. At a
glance it is a golden brown / bronze shade. Once it is applied it has tones of
pink and is quite pastel toned in its hue. I found it chalky and to apply this
to your face would probably not provide the desired look one would hope to
achieve from a bronzer. However as a subtle everyday blusher to give definition to your cheekbones, it was quite
pleasant. It is not particularly vibrant and works as more of an autumn shade
than a summer bronzer.
