@ylwclub recently sent me their Day Cream and Night Cream to try out - a duo I didn’t know I needed until now!

The Day Cream is light and gel-like, offering a ton of hydration while still feeling weightless on the skin. It dries down to a non-tacky finish which looks lovely under makeup. This is going to be a summer staple for sure!

The Night Cream has already firmly embedded itself into my PM routine. I love how rich and nourishing this is - my skin just drinks it up. It’s the kind of moisturiser that can make you look like you’ve had a good night’s sleep, even if you’ve only had 3 hours. I’m really enjoying using this one!

If you want to try these out, you can use my code THESUMMERSTUDY20 for 20% off 😊

Happy spring everyone!! 🌸🌷💗

Finally getting round to trying the @wildrefill Roll On Deodorant and I’m loving it so far!

No white marks, no flakiness and a lightweight, fast-drying finish - what’s not to like?!

The odour prevention seems to be pretty good too… but I have been testing this during the winter so I don’t feel like I’ve pushed it to its limits. The true test will be the summer - I’ll have to come back and update then!

Have you tried Wild’s Roll On? What are your thoughts? 🥰

I meant to post this last year but couldn’t bring myself to edit it after I shot it 😂

This travel set definitely has spring vibes so now felt like the perfect time to post! 🌷🌸💜

A few glimpses of the sun and I’m already in full spring/summer mode ☀️So when @balibody sent me a couple of bits to try, the timing couldn’t have been more perfect.

Their Clear Self Tan Gel is a lightweight, leave-on formula designed to be completely mess-free. It sinks into the skin quickly and doesn’t stain clothes or bed sheets - always a win.

I love how easy this is to apply, despite the lack of guide colour. It feels more like skincare than self tan - like you’re rubbing a hydrating serum into the skin.

The only drawback for me is the undertone. It pulls slightly orange on my skin, though I have seen it look much more natural on others. I think it’s a case of experimenting with the developing time to find that sweet spot!

I haven’t been testing their Gradual Tanning Butter for as long, but I’m enjoying it so far. It gives a natural, healthy glow which makes my pale skin look a bit more alive!

The only thing to note is the shimmer, which does seem to get everywhere. Not a huge deal but I probably would avoid wearing white clothes with this as it does transfer!

Have you tried either of these? What’s your go-to product for glowy summer skin? ✨
