Sunlabs Tanning Lotion

I have been using Sunlabs for a few years, on and off. I love this lotion, because it gives you a great, long lasting color.

It is pretty expensive, though, as far as tanning lotions go. It is NOT a gradual tanner, it is a self tanner that is meant to be applied and left on for at least 3-4 hours to develop, and then washed off. It will make you look like you smeared mud all over your body, which means that you can't wear it and go to the store or anything.

This tanner smells really strange, so it's a good thing it isn't supposed to stay on.

It is great if you are going on a vacation or something, though, because it doesn't wash out every time you bathe or swim, like a spray tan. It just kind of wears off on it's own time. It doesn't ever really become blotchy, either, and I love that.

It's a great self tanner if you are patient enough to sit around being smelly for a few hours. (Hence, my on and off again relationship with it.)

It can be purchased at Ulta, or online. I usually get mine through Shimmer Skincare

Fake Tan Tip

TIP:
If you get unwanted color on your skin (like palms), WINDEX works amazingly well! I use windex with a nail brush and a bit of soap, and it removes unwanted color from ANY fake tan, as long as you get it pretty soon after applying the tan.

Salon Bronze Airbrush Tanning System

I was getting models ready at a fashion show, lately, and one of them whipped out this handy little airbrush tan gun. As a particularly pale person, naturally I was intrigued by such a fabulously easy solution to my pigment problem.

I went on down to trusty ol' Sally's and found that it was a very reasonable $12.99. The refill is only $8.99, so I grabbed one of those, also.

The kit is basically just a little gun that you insert the bottle of color into, and then you squeeze the trigger to spray. It comes with a few makeup sponges, as the directions recommend spraying the color onto a sponge and then using that for your face, hands and feet.

It is very easy to use, but it will definitely come out better if you can get someone else to spray it on you. Make sure you shake it a lot, for a more even spray. It is messy, so doing it in the shower or bath works the best.

I really like this little airbrush system. It's very quick, and dries very quickly. It isn't orange, lasts for awhile (mine lasts up to 2 weeks!), doesn't rub off everywhere, and doesn't smell.

I love this stuff! You can buy it at Sally's website, HERE.
