Tanning...

It was my first ever beauty service nearly 16 years ago and I honestly don’t think I ever imagined how much I would learn from a spray tan.

Because when you’ve been doing something for this long, you start to see the little things.

You notice the trends before they become trends.

You notice when formulations change.

You notice which products disappear and which ones stick around.

You learn what happens when you change a gun setting, your technique, your solution, your prep… even the way you talk to the person standing in front of you.

I’ve watched tanning go from the days when rapid tans didn’t even exist to personalised solutions, cocktail tanning, contour tanning and formulations that have completely transformed how we can create a tan.

I’ve tried SO many.

Different brands. Different formulas. Different techniques.

Sunbeds, peptides, products from every corner of the tanning world… if I could try it, I probably did.

Not because I needed to have tried everything.

But because I’m genuinely curious.

I want to know what works. What doesn’t. Why.

And after nearly 16 years, I’ve learnt that tanning is about so much more.

Because my favourite part has never actually been the tan.

It’s the person.

I’ve heard so many stories in that little room over the years.

Mostly the beautiful ones.

Formals. Weddings. Holidays. Birthdays. Big nights out. The moments where someone wants to feel amazing!

But some of my most memorable appointments have been the quieter ones.

A tan before a funeral because someone wanted to feel their best while saying goodbye to someone they loved.

A tan after sickness because they just wanted to feel a little more like themselves again.

A tan on a day when life felt heavy and they simply needed to do something that made them feel a little bit better.

And THAT is why I love beauty.

I’ve never really been interested in making people look good for the sake of looking good.

I want people to feel good.

To feel confident. Comfortable. A little bit more in love with themselves.

Navy Blue is not in my colour palette generally but I am obsessed with the blue liner looks that are trending right now... Did you know you can make certain colours work for you with how you are placing them together?

I kept everything else pretty soft today - a clear gloss on my lips a cream bronzer and blush + a softer than usual brow - teamed up with a navy jacket and fresh blonde hair from Toowoomba Hair Salon - Colour Specialists and the look came together ♡

Who wants another colour workshop with Amanda Herron?

These InClinic Cosmetics | Mineral Makeup new liners have me so inspired Im totally buying the rest of the collection tomorrow ♡

Girl Therapy alright! Im a self confessed shopaholic ♡

I definitely NEEDED a few things today though - first up concealers I LOVE the VaniT ones but they've sadly been discontinued I had to stock up on my 2 fav shades C16 + C36 that I use to essentially add dimension to my face, once they are gone they are gone 😭

Cleanser I normally use The Know but wanted to test out the new microbiome-focused skincare Jelly Cleanser Ill keep you posted with my thoughts tomorrow ♡
