TOMMY BOWE SHOE LAUNCH

Last Saturday, 6th October, Tommy Bowe visited the Replay Menswear store in Newbridge to promote his Tommy Bowe shoes collection. The fans formed an orderly line out outside REPLAY store in White Water shopping centre from the moment the centre opened…… die-hard fans or what!! And not all the typical dads and sons rugby crew, ohhhhh no Tommy is fast becoming the pin up of the rugby world, so as you can imagine there was a scattering of young(and some not so young) girls, patiently waiting to get a picture and a kiss from the Ulster player.

Now, I'm not huge into my rugby, and I'm ashamed to say it, but before last week, I wouldn't have been able to pick Tommy out, in a line up, so when he arrived into the back of the store, I was pleasantly surprised. Okay, obviously, he a good looking lad, but he is a really nice guy too. Getting straight to work, taking pictures with two little boys who had to dash off to football training.

 

When the doors opened, the crowds flooded in….mainly giggling, as a herd of girls had appeared from somewhere, and were applying lippie and fixing their hair in great anticipation of meeting the 28 year old Ulster naïve, who signed everything from posters, to phone covers (which I thought was a fairly clever idea, by all involved….!!) He took picture after picture, and handed out sweets from  the token Christmas tin of Roses chocolates, for over one hour without getting a cramp in his face from smiling……professional!!! Then, as quick as he arrived, he was gone, but not before I grabbed a sneaky picture and bit of banter out of him!!! Off to do it all again in another shopping centre.

His third range of shoes for Llyod & Pryce, is available in store at REPLAY Menswear Whitewater shopping centre, or online at NoPolka.com

I LOVE BODY & SOL Unisex sunless tan........

 Fake tan is a mine field......! Streaks, stripes, dirty knuckles, and dodgy foot colour, are just a few of the more common tanning dilemas.  So when I was sent BODY & SOL unisex sunless tan I, as any other false tanning devote would, got rather excited.

While, I am not very pale skinned, my preference is for more than a hint of colour, and I usually have to use two applications of tan, to get my desired shade of "natural"......So I couldn’t wait to give it a whirl.   On the first spray of the Body & Sol, I was quiet surprised.....there was no hideous false tan smell, there was a slight coconut smell in the room afterwards, but it was kind of nice.  It spayed on really well, and there was no blending involved and the slight guide colour help you get a really even colour.  You know that "waiting for tan to dry" stance that every girl has? The relaxed zombie swinging movements we employ while patiently waiting to get dressed.....well not with BODY & SOL, it dried really quickly....like really quickly, couple of minutes and I was dry as a bone.!!

The next morning, I hopped out of bed, had a quick shower, and was delighted when the guide colour rinsed off......I was really brown, not the usual false tan brown....just back from two weeks in the sun brown....and there were no streaks, or dodgy foot tan, which I put down the airbrush effect, coz the tan just sits on your skin.  When I went out at the weekend, everyone commented on tan, which they couldn’t believe wasn’t natural and acquired on a cheeky late summer holiday in the sun.

So it’s fairly safe to say, my year long struggle to find a false tan that suited my skin and is absolutely fool proof is over.........!! Definitely worth a spray ladies.....you won’t be disappointed.

Here comes the science............ Rich in antioxidants, vitamins and botanical extracts, BODY & SOL enriches your skin with radiance boosting power and energy. It is precisely formulated for bronze perfection, intense skin firming and hydration in one innovative spray. Its unique natural and organic based spa formulation fades slowly and evenly, giving a rich, deep, exotic looking cocoa dipped tan.
