Another reason I love Mondays is that in terms of beauty too it's a fresh start. This is probably more a love for my Sunday evening preparedness making Monday mornings happy.
Every Sunday night, at the moment I'm doing it at about 8 o'clock after my tea but before Musketeers starts on BBC1, I do my fake tan for the week. In preparation for this I will have a really long relaxing shower and scrub away all of the previous weeks tan and any dead skin as well as using a face mask.
The tan I use is the Xen-Tan Dark Lotion Weekly Self-Tan and I love the way it comes out, not too orange or steaky and I am certainly no expert at applying fake tan. I find it just gives a natural 'just been away' glow to mask my pale British winter complexion.
Whilst my tan in sinking is I wash all of my makeup brushes. This is probably my least favourite part of Sunday evening as it takes so god damn long! But I still insist there is no such thing as too many brushes.
Aah look at those beautiful clean brushes
This usually takes about 20 minutes and by this point I feel comfortable enough to put on my tanning pyjamas. Once all of this is done I settle myself in on the sofa with The Musketeers and grab my collection of nail varnishes and decide what shade I want to sport for the first half of the week. Being the total nerd I am I usually check the weather first to see what it's going to be like out before comiting myself to a colour.
Today's colour is BarryM 295 Torquise, though I think it's more of a pastel baby blue myself.
As I don't have to rush to be in lectures at 9 on a Monday morning I am able to take my time whilst getting up and washing my tan off. I then am able to begin my week, beautifully bronzed, with fresh nails and clean makeup brushes making Mondays happy.
