Sublime (Special Edition) - Sublime

Sublime Suntan

Advantages: subtle, even, healthy glow
Disadvantages: don't think the bottle will last very long

The only fake tan I had ever used was Johnson's Holiday Skin lotion, and whilst I liked the results it gives, you have to apply it pretty much every day to get noticeable results and maintain your tan. As I am too lazy to apply tanning lotion every day, when this bottle ran out I decided to try something a little stronger that would have a little more staying power. I had no idea where to start, not wanting to pay loads, but not wanting to cheap out and end up looking like a tangerine! Eventually I decided on L'Oreal Sublime Bronze self-tanning gel, as I thought of L'Oreal as being quite a trustworthy brand. Also, the Sublime Bronze range had 1/3 off at Boots, so I paid £7.32 for a 150ml bottle instead of £10.99. Another thing that attracted me to this product was the fact that it is suitable for use on face as well as body. Previous ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

Superb Sublime!

Advantages: No Streaks
Disadvantages: Bottle is slippery whilst applying - not very gripable

brown freckles on your legs with nothing in between. It's entirely up to you whether you moisturise before you tan, it all depends on how dry your skin is. I find that the best way to do it, if you have dry skin, is to dilute the tanner with the moisturiser before application. eg. As you are about to apply the tanner, squeeze the tanning gel onto the palm of your hand, about 10p coin, and the same amount of moisturiser, then rub your hands together until it is blended in together then apply straight away. You don't have to measure the moisturiser and tanner half and half, it all depends on the type of skin you have, you will have to play with the amounts until you get it right. If this is your first time that you are self tanning or its the first time that you have used sublime then I would half the measurement with moisturiser ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

Simply Sublime

Advantages: Everything about it
Disadvantages: Haven't found any yet

Sublime's self-titled third album, released in 1996, was the album set to make the band's mark on the world. However, just a few months before its release, Bradley Nowell (lead vocalist and guitarist with the band) died from a heroin overdose. This can only be seen as a major blow to the world of music. The album itself is outstanding. It combines the genres of ska, reggae, punk,rap, dub and rock, to make something totally individual. The instrumentation throughout is also a mix of these genres, with typical guitar, bass and drums, coupled with a Hammond B-3 organ and various acoustic guitars. As a whole, it seems a rather uplifting album unitl you listen carefully to some of the subjects of the songs. For example, 'Garden Grove' is about taking heroin, whilst 'April 29, 1992 (Miami)' is about looting in the LA riots. There ...
