[What self tanners do you suggest? What's your favorite?

I've been looking at products from Sephora....St. Tropez and the Tantowl towelettes. Has anyone here used these?

Thanks!

Martha Stewart had her makeup person on one show last week. Someone from the audience asked what her favorite self tanner was. She anwered "St. Tropez."

Love it!!! Not all that pricey!!! I asked the clerk at Sephora to pick out a brush for me for the blush and she indeed picked out the best one! All in all very happy!

I've had great luck with this one:

http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P289307&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5333

It's Benefit's They're Real! Mascara. Took me a few tries to get used to it, but now I *LOVE* it - the brush is a little wonky, but I've had numerous people ask me if they're fake lashes or if I use Latisse.

I just got some of this and I love it! I decided last month to check out Sephora and I'm hooked. They are so helpful and everything they have recommend for me I just love. Once I got past the sticker shock (and decided I was worth it) I find myself buying more then what I went in for.

I love Nars Orgasm blush! Gives you just the right hint of color and is perfect for all skin shades.

I'm currently looking for a good illuminizer that doesn't have too much glitter. Is there such a thing? lol I definitely want a powder rather than a cream that I can swirl all over my face to give me a dewey, glowing complexion, but everything I've tried so far either doesn't do what it claims or is too shimmery/glittery. At 47 yo I really don't want to be walking around with sparkles all over my face.

 

[jessrose18]

do you guys buy the nars orgasm blush or the orgasm illuminator? i usually use the mac bronzer, but i want to try something new.... thanks!

haha! i do think her makeup is pretty most of the time.....

I have the most sensitive eyes in the world, different brands of mascara always left my eyes red and slightly irritated. So recently I started looking for mascara with all natural ingredients.

Boots Botanics Volumizing mascara fit the bill! It's an organic mascara made of beeswax, so the texture is a bit thicker than regular mascara. But it's so comfortable on my lashes and no redness or irritation!

For anyone interested, I picked it up at Target. I know all Targets are different, but in mine there was an 'Organic Botanics' display against the wall next to the OPI nail polishes.

Granted, this mascara doesn't define my lashes like other brands - I used to wear Dior - but my eye sensitivity is forcing me to all nature ingredients, so I'll just have to deal with it. Two coats work pretty well.

I am on my second tube of the Benefit They're Real Mascara and it is the best I have used yet. I must say that the Tarte lights camera action is pretty good too.


If you go to beautycrunch.com they had a really good deal. They sell mostly Stila and they had a palette with 13 colors and a mascara for 15.00! Which in itself is a great deal but then if you sign up as a member you get 2 for 15.00 which I got for Easter Basket stuffers.

Thanks to the OP that posted about NARS Orgasm blush. It is a beautiful blush. The soft glimmer peachy pink is so pretty

I also bought the Benefits They're Real Mascara, still getting used to the big wand

I'm looking for a compact that offers full coverage. Any suggestions? Right now, I'm using Bare Minerals, but I'd like to try something new.

I'd order from SkinStore because they have 20% and depending on your state you may not have to pay tax.

for compacted powder i use revlon photoready, i like it, dont know if its the only foundation i could use though

as for a bare minerals sub i like the loreal version its about 12 bucks and works well with my bare minerals brushes....

 

[diznee25]

Thanks to the couple posters who recommended some self tanners!

Just had to say I absolutely love NARS Orgasm blush. I've been using it for a year now, it's my favorite blush.

I haven't heard anything about a Sephora discount next weekend....can you give details?
