Summer is over, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to sport a healthy glow. With my legs already donning pale signs of the coming winter, I picked up L’Oréal’s new Luminous Bronzer Self-Tanning Lotion from their Sublime Bronze collection.
After using the Self-Tanning Mist from their Sublime Bronze collection, I swore I’d never use another non-airbrush self tanner again, but this one intrigued me with its promise of instant shimmer. It’s a tinted lotion that bronzes any pasty pallor in seconds — and they are NOT kidding about the shimmer. Wow. If you’re going for a natural, sun-kissed glow, you may be a little overwhelmed; however, I kinda dug the ultra-radiant look and found it perfect for a night out.
The lotion takes a few minutes to dry and is a bit sticky in the meantime, but the scent is nice. My only other recommendation: wash your hands well after applying, and make sure to get your wrists and forearms — I didn’t have any stains between my fingers, but every time I’ve used it I manage to miss a little in cleaning up my wrists and end up with a few brown splotches.
I think I will skip the tanning lotions for a while. Just yesterday I had a bad experience with Chanel soleil intense bronze spf 8. After I applied it before going to bed I wake up with my whole face full in red little spots and it was irritated during the day. I didn’t expect this from Chanel.
Wow, really Tav? That shocks me – I’ve never had a reaction to a Chanel product! O.o I’ll be leaving that one alone…
The trouble was that they were going up against a regular army that could exercise overwhelming force. ,
