My Tan Commandments

My Tan Commandments

• Exfoliate before getting spray tans or applying self tanners.
• Moisturize before and after no matter what form of tanning you use.
• Shave before tanning
• Dont shower immediately after using a tanning bed
• Apply self tanners at bedtime so by morning your bronzed and fabulous!
• Use a light body wash in the shower if using self tanners
• Remove all makeup before getting in a tanning bed
• Cover face in tanning beds if you get blotchy skin or hyper pigmentation 
• If you're waxing, do it the day before.
• Use latex or vinyl gloves when applying self tanners to avoid streaking
• Always make sure your tan goes to the hairline because that can be a dead giveaway 
• After applying self tanner, take gloves off and apply moisturizer to nails, knuckles and wrists. Place a small amount of tanner on the back of wrists and begin to rub in using the back of your hands. Then apply to wrists as if you were apply perfume.
• Make sure to let your self tanner dry!
• Use sunscreen outdoors

Just a quick little post about this

This lip gloss is said to create fuller lips with shine. Its formulate with vitamins A and E to keep the lips soft and protected while creating a tingling, cooling sensation so you know its working. Also, this comes in tons of shades so its perfect for everyone. I have sugar :) Its a brownish color kind of sheer. Needless to say, I recommend this lip gloss for everyday or over a lipstick. This product really does give a great shine without being too overly sticky. The only downfall I have is that it has a horrible taste. Maybe thats just the shade I own. I would definitely recommend this lip gloss. Thoughts and/or questions? Comment below

You can see my lips look shiny and rather full. I am wearing only a small amount of this lip gloss.

ColorStay Aqua Mineral Finishing Powder

Translucent 

$13.99

This revolutionary mineral finisher sets foundation and minimizes the look of pores and fine lines, leaving skin even and smooth. Specially formulated longwearing ColorStay technology provides a shine-free soft matte finish that lasts all day. Best of all, this weightless loose powder keeps skin looking healthy and flawless. Wear alone or with Color stay Aqua Mineral Makeup. Comes in 4 beautiful shades, with SPF 13 protection." 

I really like using this product! I apply it to set my makeup forever HD foundation. At one point  I used to use pressed powder by too faced to set my HD foundation but I like to use this instead. When applying this it feels cool and wet like water which made me feel skeptical at first. However, that goes away without leaving a wet, dewy or shiny look which i prefer. It says translucent but since it comes in four shades so I believe it does have a little tint to it. If your looking for light coverage for summer or everyday this is perfect. I also used to use laura mercier as my setting powder but I can honestly say I like this one as my setting powder  (as of right now). Also, the packaging for this is alright. I don't like the brush at all but I usually don't with drugstore brushes that come with products.

PRODUCT RAVE!

Clinical Strength

Anit-perspirant

*Personal Hygiene*

Doctor recommended and non-presciption 

Colorless and fragrance free!

So, summer is approaching and you know what that means... HOT, HUMID weather! Yay my favorite! However, what isn't my favorite is how I always seem to sweat a little bit no matter what. (i mean who doesn't?) :( but not anymore! This stuff is amazing! I wore it to the gym and took at spinning class and didn't even sweat under my arms! WOW is all I can say. This stuff really does stop excessive perspiration! Ive tried so many anti-perspirants and nothing seemed to be that great, not even mens! I will definitely be repurchasing this product

So, how do you wear this stuff? Well, you only apply to your underarms and apply it AT BEDTIME.  You also don't even need to apply it every night. I use it every other night.

So, whats the downside? The first couple time i used it, it seemed to have a slight burn where I applied it. I believe that this is because it was seeping into my pores for the first time.

FINALLY!!

REVLON LIP BUTTERS!

Yay, i finally got my hands on some! Most of you have probably tried these but it took me a while to. Today i purchased creme brulee and cupcake! These lip butters have a buildable, non drying color. The formula is super smooth and not cakey. I can't wait to get more; there are so many colors to choose from!
