Josie Maran does it again! All the warm tingles on a Thursday ...

Hi Gorgeous!

Remember when I wrote about the Josie Maran Argan Tanning Cream? And I thought well it can't get better than this.... annnddd then she came out with the Josie Maran Argan liquid Gold Self-Tanning Oil!!!!

Let me first say that trying to be more consistent with my self tanning, has been a recent mission of mine.  I've been trying a few self tanners, but this one just amazes me every time! I can't tell you if it's just the almost felt like mitt, the Super hydration that it gives my skin, or the vanilla-apricot smell, that makes me like it the most but it's the combination that drives this self tanned to the top!!

Application is easy and just like any other self tanner except the smell is wonderful and instead of a lotion this is an oil.  I will say that I am already terifyed of running out (it's still on backorder) and the fact that you can't really see through the bottle doesn't help.  This gem is retailing at a whopping $38 (second reason I'm fearful of running out) BUT thats right in the range with the other high-end self-tanners.

Sooo if you are in the market for a new self tanner, that's free of Parabins, Sulfates, Phthalates, and that hydrates your skin with 100% Argan Oil - than this bronzed oil is for you!

Cheers to a beautiful you,

Fabulous Friday Finds!

Hi Gorgeous!

2 obsessions this week .... Laura Mercier Ritual and Beautycounter Dew Skin Moisturizing Coverage!

Laura Mercier Ritual:
First of all- many of you will remember, like me, how this Baked Bronzer made its very first appearance over a year ago and sold out almost immediately!
Well, when I saw it on Sephora.com I immediately threw it in my online cart and by the time I went to check out, well 'wudda ya kno' it was out of stock!
Lucky for us all- it came back in stock and has been there since!  I knew I was going to love it as soon as I received it.

It is a bit intimidating at first as there are a variety of bronze colors, some deeper than others, as well as streaks of pink! It is honestly the most beautiful bronzer I have used in a while, with multipurpose use and fantastic wearability.  I don't think it could look bad on anyone!

Favorite way to use it? As a bronzer/blush!! I apply from cheekbone to mid cheek with a synthetic brush and each time immediate fall in love and dream of the beach!  If you have been considering it, or are looking for a great value or a new bronzer, GO, no RUN to Sephora and pick this gem up or order online (hyperlink is up above)!

Beautycounter Dew Skin Moisturizing Coverage:
You know I have reviewed several products from Beautycounter including the original tinted moisturizer.  When they launched their Dewy version I was honestly excited as my skin has been dull lately.  I'm currently using shade 2 and will maybe get another month out of it before its a bit too light for the summer.

It is definitely dewy in application and semi-dewy in finish, once the product has sat on the skin.  I do feel it is a bit more moisturizing than the original formula, but it does provide less coverage- which could be perfect for warmer weather.  The only downfall is the smell ... I'm not sure what it is but it reminds me of grandma's!  Could be worse I guess, but definitely not a smell most would like having on their face.  I will say, after the 4th use I did not really even pay attention to the smell!
