Million Dollar Tan Review

Sorry all of my reviews so far have been about tanning products! But hey, it's summer time! :) I got the Million Dollar Tan in the mail yesterday and immediately tried it out because I was so excited about it. It came in a flat rate USPS packaging. They had it wrapped in cute heart tissue paper with a little note tied to it. It explained that they gave me two 4 oz. bottles instead of the 8 oz. that I originally ordered because they were sold out of it (WOW!), and they didn't want to delay my order. It also came with a note card explaining the product, and then application tips on the back. That was really awesome and helpful.

Once again, I showered and exfoliated first. My tan from the tanning towelettes I had tried a couple days earlier had already faded for the most part. I rubbed it in circular motions on my face (it says we can use it there without clogging pores!), and all over my body like a normal body lotion. It came out a translucent white and spread easily. 

It had a very faint smell that I can't really describe. Kind of plastic-ey? It didn't bother me though. I didn't really notice a difference on my skin until a couple hours later. It gave me a very deep tan with no streaking besides a tiny bit on my wrist where I probably stopped applying it.

You can really see a difference! The top picture was yesterday before I applied it, and the bottom was this morning when I woke up. It looks a little orangey but naturally, that's how my skin tans anyway. I like the results considering that's how the sun or tanning bed makes me look anyway! This was worth the money for me. $26 for the 8 oz. bottle on their main website, milliondollartan.com. This is a product I'll definitely repurchase when it runs out. 

L'oreal self-tanning towelettes review

I finally got around to giving these a try. I shaved and exfoliated in the shower and then dried off to use it. The towelette was white and folded up, no brown color on it at all. I kept it folded and used it on my arm first, and opened it up as I went to other body parts. I used it on my arms, legs, stomach, chest, upper back, basically anywhere I could reach besides my face. I rubbed it in an up and down motion which might have been a mistake. The scent was not strong, but it definitely had a smell. Not a normal self-tanner smell, but not a very pleasant one either. I did notice a nice bronze glow soon after I put it on, but nothing too drastic.

In the morning is when I got to see the whole effect of it. I had a nice blotch right on my wrist bone. I also had a streak down the inside of my arm. I later read that using up and down motions can cause streaking. You want to use circular motions when you rub it in (I'll remember that next time!). I also had brown/orangey palms because I didn't wash my hands after (I'm an idiot, my fault). The packaging did not have application directions, which might have been useful and made me more satisfied if I knew what kind of motion to apply it. I don't feel like it was orange, but it obviously wasn't brown either. My natural tan tends to be more orangey and red than brown anyway so it looked like a normal tan to me.

All in all, for the price, I think it's decent and will finish it up. From then on, I will probably stick to lotions and sprays just because they're less awkward to apply.

Hope this was useful! Would you try a towelette out?

Ootd, Clothing & Cosmetic Haul

Hello! The weather was beautiful today so, instead of spending my Sunday in bed like I usually like to do, I went on a little shopping spree with my sister Melissa. We went to our outdoor mall, Partidge Creek, and found some things at Forever 21 and H&M. We also went back to Target and picked up a couple cosmetics. Being a twin has so many perks, like being able to share clothes. ;) I apologize for the blurry quality of the pictures. My iphone sucks. :(

OOTD: I had second day hair, so I threw it in a pony tail. Not the prettiest look, but it was hot and I didn't want it hanging on my back all day. Black dress is from H&M, red sandals are from Kmart, and Michael Kors watch. I wore a wet n' wild red lipstick to match with neutral brown eyeshadow and my black liquid eyeliner that is practically my every day look.

Clothing Haul: Melissa modeled the shirts for me. ;) Hence the blonde hair.
