The Summer Glow Without The Sun
Xen-Tan
Dark Mousse Self-Tan Foam Our tester admits that she was extremely
hesitant to try a self-tanning product. She had only had one
prior experience with a self-tanning product and it was not good.
Plus, she rarely (if ever) wears make-up; so putting something all
over herbody in order to turn it an entirely different color took some
convincing. That said -- she loved this stuff! Not only is it
easy to apply, but also it is streak-free, looks totally natural, and it
smells good! Even her husband could not tell that it was fake.
It gave her a healthy glow almost immediately, yet was easy to wash
off of her hands and didn't stain her palms. This is a
great product to use when you haven't the luxury of time to sit around
sunbathing or just to make you feel like you don't look nearly as tired as
you may feel after a sleepless night. She stated that she would
definitely will buy this in the future. $29.00. To purchase call

Baked
Body Glow (Urban Decay) Here’s a great product that smells great,
doesn’t require drying and goes on smooth as silk. Shaped like a
chubby chap stick you just push it up and spread it on. It leaves
your skin sun kissed without streaks, spots, dots or – the dreaded
orange! You put it where you need it and it stays put. It’s
a great way to cover up bikini or flip-flop tan lines! $25.00 www.urbandecay.com
Body
Drench Quick Tan is a fine-misting spray-on self tanner that provides
immediate golden color. It’s fast-drying, non-greasy and doesn’t
have a heavy fragrance. For the faint at heart this is a DARK tanner
and you really need to read the directions or you’ll do what I did and
wind up with dark brown purplish hands that you have to scrub. First
exfoliate – but this is true with all tanners. Secondly, with this
tanner I would recommend using gloves. Then spray away and smooth
in. It dries fast and provides a nice even, real looking tan.
As with most self-tanners be careful around the elbows and ankles.
Body Drench is formulated with Aloe Extract, Black Walnut Extract and
Chamomile Extract. $27.50 Available at beauty supply stores, salons,
spas and tanning boutiques nationwide. www.bodydrench.com
Keep that glow going with Xen-Tan’s
Tan Extender. It’s a nice smelling moisturizing lotion that
has a hint of the tanning ingredient so you slowly get that glow without
looking dark right away. It has a great smell and conditioning feel.

Hoola
(Benefit Cosmetics) Our tester is a huge fan of facial bronzers; in
fact she uses them all year long for the constant glow, so when we asked
her to test this she was thrilled. She loved the cute box, the small
included brush, which made it perfect for the purse. She said the
color was the perfect all-around glow and she loved that there wasn’t a
hint of orange or shimmer. She said, “it goes on like silk and
looks great!” $26.00 Available at http://www.benefitcosmetics.com
and Sephora.
