"A" is for Apple - a 4 oz. Apple 3-in-1 Shampoo, Shower Gel and Bubble Bath - "a"hhh, the apple scent is so real and refreshing.

"B" is for Body Souffle - a 2 oz Apple Soothing and Moisturizing Body Soufflé - "b"est scented apple body cream ever.

"C" is for Cookie - a .5 oz lip-smacking, high-gloss Powdered Sugar Cookie Lip Shine - "C"lear shine with such a great cookie flavor.

And don't be afraid of the red color - it is just tinted for effect, and turns clear when applied almost immediately.

Who wouldn't want the ultimate "School is Cool" gift set in the greatest little box? This adorable set is exclusively available at Sephora and Sephora.com for a cool $35.00.

p.s. - this would make the best gift for the new teacher too!

 

Happy SUN-day!

Another Sunday in Summer. Another day to try out a few SUN-free tanning products, perhaps?  Yes, my obsession with self-tanning continues.

I tried two new self-tanners this week.

The first was Kiehl's Sun Free Self Tanning Formula ($22.50). This formula is a very lightweight lotion that dries awesomely quick. The cream is enriched with goodies such as Apricot Oil, Cocoa Butter, and Vitamin E. The goodies help it smooth on evenly so it is very easy to spread and rub in. You just have to do it pretty fast, as it does dry fast, like I said before. And it has a nice, clean cucumberish fresh scent. My color really started to develop in just over an hour, as I noticed my face getting slightly golden.

Next I tried Bath and Body Works Solar Power All-Angle Professional Airbrush Tan (regularly $15 on sale for $9). As my latest obsession is with these airbrush tanning formulas that can be easily sprayed in any direction, I had been eyeing this for some time. When sprayed, you are immediately surrounded in the nicest orange-vanilla scent - yum. You can see exactly where the formula is sprayed, as it goes on very wet. Unfortunately, you stay wet for a good ten or so minutes (did I spray too much?) and have to wait to dress until it is fully dry. The color developed slowly over about four hours, but the color was a nice rich golden one.
