L’Oreal’s Sublime Bronze ProPerfect Airbrush Self Tanning Mist

 Pretty much what I expected, I must admit the color of the bottle is probably the worst I can imagine for a self tanner.  There isn’t a woman alive who’s got her wits about her that wants to be orange.  Just seeing the bottle is scary, seriously.

The product has a great 360 degree continuous spray nozzle that is excellent.  You don’t have to rub and it dries quickly.  You do have to remain naked while it dries, so keep that in mind.  

The product should be layered on freshly exfoliated skin daily until you get to your desired color.  Just like spray paint you want to keep a nice distance to avoid streaks.  I’ve often thought these tanners should come with a guidestick that you could attach to the bottle that would remind the user to keep their distance.  If you have the option of having someone help you spray that also works well.

I would vigorously recommend this product for the ease of use and overall bronze result, it took me about 5 times to get the deep color I’m looking for on my legs.  The problem is I can’t not mention the AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) that can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun.  To L’Oreal’s credit it is clearly labeled on the back under “warning”.  People will have to make a personal decision if it’s worth it.

Isn’t that the cutest thing you ever heard of, teddy bear hair?!  totally synthetic, cruelty free… I love love love it!

“All the glamour and glitz of fur without the heartache. Each brush was created using the luxurious synthetic hair, which Too Faced founder, Jerrod Blandino, helped develop called “teddy bear hair.” This state-of-the-art fiber feels identical to the soft and silky smooth hair of real animals without the cruelty involved in making traditional “animal hair” brushes.

Set includes: Powder Brush, Fluff Brush, Angled Eye Shadow Brush, Angled Liner/Brow Brush, and a Small Crease Brush in a pink metallic brush/makeup bag.”

When I’m up for new make up brushes, this is going to be it!  There are to many cosmetic companies out there making animal hair brushes and it’s totally uncalled for, they need to get the message.  Synthetic brushes are excellent for applying makeup. 

Brush Faux Pas

 During the Total Beauty summit I asked a presenter if their brushes were cruelty free and was told that animals were brushed and the hair was collected from the brush to create their brushes (did you follow that?) 

ummm, sorry, don’t buy it.  I’m sure the company in question means well but I don’t trust for one minute that the hair is being collected in a humane manner when no one is looking… I’m sure I’m paranoid but it seems much safer to use synthetic and be sure that no animals are being abused to get their fur.  In addition to that did the animals that are being brushed consent to this procedure and use of their fur? what is their everyday life like? do they get to play and roam or in tiny little cages that stink?  If nothing else it’s animal exploitation for “beauty’s” sake and not something I’m interested in at this point in my life.

 Too Faced has won my heart with this cute little pocket palette!  It fits in the palm of your hand.  I can’t stop opening and closing it, looking at it and dabbing some lip color, looking in the mirror - repeat, look, repeat. 

6 lip glosses and 4 eyeshadows with adorable little brushes.  The make up itself is passable.  The lip glosses were a disappointment, none of them showed up on me and had a faint scent to ‘em (perhaps vanilla?)  The shadows are worth getting to and make the set worth taking on vacation or in your purse because of the tiny size.  Truth be told the cuteness of the set at this price point make it totally worth it. I can’t wait to run through the makeup and refill with my favorite glosses!
