L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Wipes

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:14:27 +0000

I came across these self tanning wipes as the concept seemed quite easy and the price was very reasonable.

L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Wipes include 6 wipes in individual packets and the box is about 10 dollars.

So I grabbed these and gave them a go one night.

I put on latex gloves before opening the packet and handling. Which turned out to be perfect. No messy hands is a great thing!

So I proceeded to use the self tanning wipe starting with my bare arms. There is no color guide with these tanning wipes which doesn’t seem to be an issue. Start of with long stokes evenly through out each body part until covering all areas completely. Take your time try to be as even as possible in a wiping motion.

These tanning wipes don’t have a bad scent at first but they do contract a minimal tan smell within a few hours but it’s not that bad at all. I also noticed these tanning wipes dry quickly and do not make your skin feel tacky or sticky at all.

I had a good feeling about these tanning wipes the minute I was done using them. I went to sleep woke up the next morning and was happy to see a beautiful bronzed tan!

Wonderful color. Not orange at all. Minimal streaking as well. You just have to remember when using these wipes once they start to dry out you will need to use another wipe to complete the process for minimal streaking. Makes sense right?

I will definitely be re-purchasing these L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Wipes. Absolutely easy product to use!! I recommend them to all. worth a try at this cheap price.

So far I love them. We will see how the fading process goes as I have not gone through yet as I just used these last night :}

Very pleased with the tan I now have! Safest easiest tan yet.

How to De-scent your Lipstick

admin — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 01:29:24 +0000

Lets face it different brands of lipsticks we love for the shade have their own scent that sometimes isn’t a favorite.

You can de-scent those lipsticks you love so much but not for it’s scent.

Here is how:

(Now do this in a clean space) Stand your lipstick up and remove the lipstick cap.
Swivel your lipstick up mostly so it can be exposed to the air.
Let your lipstick chill with it’s cap off for a few hours. cap it for another couple hours, then repeat these steps until you have achieved your un-scented lipstick!

I have de-scented my own lipsticks and it really works without drying them out! Good Luck

Mac Cosmetics To The Beach High-Light Powder

OhhhI am kicking myself now as I failed to keep on top of the Mac Cosmetics To The Beach Collection exclusively just for the GORGEOUS peachy with the gold embossed seahorse high light powder! Of course I imagine this probably sold out the same day it was released online. wow what was I thinking?!! I wasn’t hehe…. I might just have to look on ebay for it, but of course it will be double in price on there I would be very lucky if Mac Cosmetics re-stocks a second round of this beautiful makeup powder. We shall see.

NARS Sheer Matte Review Shade Deauville

admin — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 03:06:09 +0000

The much talked about Nars Sheer Matte Foundation is one of my favorite foundations. This foundation applies easily and blends fairly quickly and effortlessly. Nars Sheer Matte is a Matte meduim coverage foundation but not overly matte..a sheer matte. Nars Sheer Matte feels nice and light on the skin, skin can breathe and doesn’t seem to break out my combo type skin. The price for this foundation runs at about $42.00 for this 1fl oz bottle.

My main skin shade based off the MAC Color selection is NC15-NC20 (in the winter months) and I can wear NARS Sheer Matte in Shade Deauville.

Seems to sink perfectly into my skin coloring of that shade choice.

NARS Sheer Matte in Shade Deauville

Overall:the NARS Sheer Matte is quite a nice foundation for combination/oily skin types. As I mentioned this foundation never broke me out nor did it feel heavy and yucky after a full day wear of about 8 hours. I would definitely repurchase the NARS Sheer Matte Foundation. I actually preferNARS Sheer Matte over NARS Sheer Glow foundation for my skin type.

(Obviously, Deauville is too light for my tanned skin right now)

If your curious about NARS Sheer Matte foundation and your skin type is similar to mine give it a try it might quickly become your must have foundation.
