    Hi everyone, just thought I would let you know about my latest bargain. For all of you not wanting to splash out on a fake tan before your wedding, my Tesco store is doing johnsons holiday skin face moisturiser as a buy one get one free, so it only cost just under £6 for two. Fantastic for getting a getting a healthy glow before the wedding. I got some in the light to medium skin, used it last night and I do look more tanned on my face today, with no streaks aswell, yay!! I think they are doing the all over one aswell.

    Great tip but keep an eye out in the 99p store (if you have one) as in the next couple of months the johnsons and the dove all over tan body lotion will be in store, i stocked up last year and the dove one is FAB.
  • HI everyone, was just wondering if anyone has found a really good, really cheap bride and groom topper creator. The type where they model the figures on photos of yourself. I was thinking of having a mirrored monogram topper on the top tier and have found a place on Ebay that does it for £9.99, you can even stick crystals on yourself to save a fortune. But further down I would like a figurine of us both customised. Thanks Tiger x

    the cheapest i found was 35 fora bride and groom with same skin tone, clothes and hair.

    more realistic was 45.

    for this reason i am seriously contemplating doing it myself

    Yup id second this. Last year they had dove in poundland...loads of it! and i think its a lot better than johnsons, it doesnt streak whereas the johnsons did a bit on my legs and i think the colours better, well for my skin tone anyway!

    just dont put it anywhere near your wedding dress!! it'll go orange!
    What matters most is how well you walk through the fire

    thanks tiger - Im a big size 8 but that good start!! off to ebay!
  • Hi JayJay and Picklepick. We have a poundland so will deffo be looking out for that it's my fave shop anyway lol! I tend to find that the Dove streaks on me and the Johnsons doesn't but I guess it's just how your skin is. I must say I ma impressed with the facial one, I was a bit dubious about it and have quite dark skin everywhere except for my face which is always a lovely white shade, and it is coming lovely. Definitiely won't be putting it anywhere enar the wedding dress although that is a great tip, what if it rubbed off on the actual day, major nightmare.

    Kelda, I do love Ebay at the mo. Definitely my first port of call for everything wedding related. I bought some sequinned New Look shoes tonight, and although not typically wedding related you won't really see them and they were only £2 compared to the £26 Next were wanting for there delicious shoes. Ah well, it is an MSE wedding afterall and the money saved can go towards something else. Night Night, Tiger x
