Bronzed & Beautiful

From Left to Right: Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel, Quicktan Spray & St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse 

Clarins Gel is nice for an extra glow. It doesn't have a self-tan odor to it, non oily, doesn't get on your bedsheets/clothes, dries quickly and gives a nice bronzy color to your skin. There's a reason it constantly gets awarded!

Quicktan is like instant gratification tan. When you don't have the time to wait around for the color to develop and you just want to be super dark for a night out.

St. Tropez smells sooo yummy! More importantly I love the color it produces. Definitely recommend getting the glove so you can buff it into your skin better so you avoid looking like a zebra. After exfoliating apply the mousse (a little goes a long way) next day or 4 hours later wash off.

Food For Thought

Coconut Oil has so many uses beyond just cooking! It's a natural and affordable product that you can use to remove eye makeup, treat cuticles, deep condition your hair, moisturize your face & body... the list goes on. 

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD MICROFINISH POWDER

Makeup Forever's HD Powder is the best setting powder I have ever tried. I love how the new one has a net so the powder doesn't get everywhere. It also makes it easier to travel with or carry in your makeup bag. You can wear it alone or set your foundation with it for a flawless finish.

Clarisonic Mia 2

I just made the switch from the Olay Spinbrush to the Clarisonic Mia 2 about a week ago and I am so happy I did! The results really don't compare between the two. The Clarisonic Mia 2 comes with the brush, charger, two speeds and a case for the Clarisonic. It removes 6x more makeup, dirt and oil than washing with your hands. It also preps your skin to have serums and moisturizers better absorb.

Purchase: Nordstroms or Amazon (for less)

Tea Tree Oil

After hearing so many good reviews on tea tree oil on makeupalley.com. I knew I had to try it for myself. It's basically used for skin infections, burns, cuts, insect bites and spots. After cleansing rub the oil all over your whole face or on just a specific spot, you can follow with moisturizer after it dries. It definitely has a strong smell to it, but it works so who cares. You can order it online or get it at Trader Joe's.
