So we don’t
really need to ask what you’ll be doing every night, except Saturday perhaps,
for the forseeable future. And while everyone has been comparing this year’s
new Love Island contestants to those
of previous years, us die-hards have been discussing our fave characters and
scenes. It seems a long time since Jon proposed
to Hannah in Season 1, but it lives
long in our memories. Back then, no-one taking part could have imagined how
popular the show would be. And since then, there have been a lot of break-ups,
a couple of relationships that have made the cut, and the patter of tiny feet,
plus the sound of wedding bells have chimed a little sound of success.
So what is
it about the show that sucks us all in? Well, in a world of box sets, it’s a
time every night where we can all
sit down and watch something in real time. And, of course, it’s like being on
holiday, being vacation flies-on-the-wall, and spotting who likes who, and who
doesn’t particularly like who. Yes, we know much is made in the media about
everyone looking perfect and it putting pressure on us all to look good, but
here at Team Fake Bake we just relax
and enjoy the show. Usually with some properly unhealthy snacks and no immediate
plans to get a six pack. And we have also met lots of your fave Love Island alumni and tanned them
after they leave the island, and they have always been gorgeous in every way.
So, as this
new season launches, what can we expect? Well, we have a feeling the show is
going to get back to basics, and we
like that premise. Not so many tears at bedtime and loads more laughs sounds
good to us. And, as always, we keep an eye on everything around the show as we
like to stay updated.
Apart from
tuning in every night to the show and to Aftersun
at the weekend, we also love listening to the Love Island Podcast: The Morning After with our fab friends Arielle Free and Kem Cetinay. I mean,
you can’t talk enough about Love Island,
can you?
Love Island also gives us a peek as to what works
poolside for our upcoming summer hols, and this year, the Island Goddess herself, Caroline Flack has already prepared the
way by launching her own range with
River Island. These are our pick of the best pieces from the range….
Brown Print Chiffon Kimono
Green Zebra Bandeau Bikini
Gold Metallic Tie-Up Espadrille
Wedges
We aren’t
going to talk about the contestants just yet, as we want to see the live and
IRL first, but we do know that about now there is going to be a lot of beauty prep
going on. Our amazing VIP Elite Tanner,
The Tan Expert, recently tanned Caroline so, once again, she sets the
golden standard…
Why not make
a pact? OK, so Love Island usually
gives us a nightly excuse to raid the snack cupboard while we discuss the goings
on in the villa. And we’re not knocking it. If you want to chow down on some
carrot sticks, be our guest, but here at Team
Fake Bake we are professional snackers. But why not spend a few of those
hours getting yourself summer ready? We don’t mean watching it on a treadmill,
people. But a bit of care and maintenance now pays beauty dividends. And as for
your tan, well, at the moment our current faves are….
Fake Bake Tanning Water
This is so
light and fresh and perfect for warmer weather as it’s non-sticky, transfer
resistant formula is so simple to use. Perfect to apply while you are
catching up with the Love action, and packed full of skin hydrators to help
keep your skin summer supple. Includes our new, double-sided velvety mitt.
Fake Bake Double Shot Espresso Tan
Go dark, or
go home? This lightweight, express, gel formula gives you our ultimate, dark
tan and is foolproof to apply. Perfect for statement swimwear. Concentrated, so
a little goes a long way.
Fake Bake 60 Minutes Self Tan Liquid
Apply just
before Love Island starts, watch the
show, and shower it off when the credits roll. How simple is that? You can
leave it on for up to three hours for a really intense tan, so pick a night
when Aftersun follows the main show
and you’ll be bronzed for the week ahead.
Get ready to
spend the next two months of your life
glued to ITV2. And do remember that only a tiny, tiny percentage of people
spend that much time in the gym before they go on the TV. We’ll be looking at
keeping it real swimwear looks soon, for those of us whose bikini size goes
into double figures. Actually, that means all of us.
Until then,
sit back and enjoy. It might not be real life, but Love Island takes over ours now every summer.
Inflate your
plastic palm tree and prepare to have no social life. If you had one to start
with…
