I have to recommend an awesome self-tanner!

I cannot believe how good it is: Bare Escentuals Faux Tan. I am not even a fake tan user and this stuff has me addictied. No streaks, I looks great and no bad smell. And this is coming from someone who is super pale. AMAZING! Try it!

Really? Did you get it at Sephora? is it tanner for the face or the body?

Thanks!

Re: I have to recommend an awesome self-tanner!

It's for body only apparently according to instructions, probably because of the ingredients. I am embarrased to admit I bought it from QVC but you can buy it at Sephora too. I bought it as part of the Bronzed Goddess package where you get two bronzers with it which you can use on face. It's sort of disconcerting when you put it on first as it's almost black color liquid. But this helps you apply without missing areas or streaks. You look instantly tanned. And it smells like a light coconut or something and then goes away once it dries. No bad chemical smell.

I paid for the big size (which is pretty big - pic in above post with the pump) and it was 73.00 (incl tax + S&H) and came with the mini kabuki brush and two bronzers.

They do, I think it's a 4 oz size for $22 or something. I swear, three applications and I am seriously tanned.

Re: I have to recommend an awesome self-tanner!

id like to try using a tanner again, maybe i'll give that one a try

i used to use coppertone effortless color in light/medium and it smelled a little funky (although not bad for a self tanner) but dried super fast and didnt streak. however, i havent used it in about 5 years.

i am super pale too!

I will take some at my fitting next week and send them to you or post them (depending on if I look halfway decent, I am 10 lbs heavier now than when we bought the dress )
