St. Moriz Dark Tanning Mousse

 

With the final days of Summer upon us and this coming Labor Day weekend, I’ve found the perfect affordable self tanner for this weekends pool party! As a self proclaimed self tanning addict, I’m always trying new tanners. I have tried the St. Moriz tanning lotion in the past and loved it, but the past few months I have been trying to get my hands on the mousse. Every time I go to ULTA they seem to be sold out! This should have been my first clue that this self tanner is pretty darn amazing.I was finally able to snatch up the last bottle they had on the shelf and immediately went home and applied it. This is by far the darkest self tanner I’ve used. In one application, I had a beautiful dark, deep, rich natural looking tan. I applied it with my usual tanning mitt, which I think is a must for a flawless and streak less application. If you are looking for a more subtle tan. this may not be the tanner for you. It is definitely darker than my all time favorite tanner Xen Tan and at a fraction of the price. This bottle of St. Moriz self tanner retails for $12.99 which is a total bargain compared to most self tanners. I pay that much for my Drugstore version by Jergen’s. My advice, if you are able to get your hands on this, stock up! I would say order it on ULTA and buy a few bottles so that you never run out! My only complaint about this tanner, is my white sheets looked like an Umpa Loompa melted in them by morning. But, in all honesty, this seems to be a running theme in my house. Oh the joys of self tanning!

Dolce & Gabbana Intense Color Gloss in Purple Passion

My obsession with Dolce & Gabbana continues! After a few pretty HOT weeks in L.A,. I must admit, I’m ready for Fall. I adore fall clothes and adore Fall makeup even more! From rich, dark hues to sultry eyes, Fall is the perfect time to pull out your intense colors. As you all know, I’m the biggest fan of bold lips. My latest find, Dolce & Gabbana’s Intense Color Gloss in Purple Passion is so luxuriously rich and pigmented, that it has “LOOK AT ME” written all over it. I’m sure you are thinking, this girl has never met a Dolce & Gabbana product she has not liked, and it’s true! Although pricey, Dolce & Gabbana’s line of cosmetics and skincare just keeps evolving into one of the best brands on the planet.  This gloss pairs perfectly with an understated copper eye and it has just the right amount of purple to lean more sultry and less over the top. I love the consistency of these glosses as well. They are never tacky or sticky, just perfectly creamy with the right amount of shine. All I can say is HELLO FALL! I’ve been waiting for you all Summer-
