so being 9 months pregnat i feel its prbably a bad idea to stuff myself in a giant easybake oven for the sake of gaining a tan. so whats a pasty gal to do? fake it till ya make it! now i will be honest, ive never hadmuch luck with self tanners, the creams (even the gradual tanners) would turn out streaky, orange and when they would fade it looked like i had brown specks of dirt in my pores. so i decided to give the aerosal self tanners a try. heres my review:
nuetrogena micro-mist
pro - nice natural color not to umpa-loompa orange
pro - the can sprays at any angle (great for preggos who have limited reach)
pro - long lasting color that fades evenly, can go 3-4 days between spraying
pro - no need to rub it in, just spray and it dries quick
con - yucky self tanner smell
con - it sprays on clear so it may turn out uneven your first time if your not careful
overall i was really pleased with how natural the color looked and once i got the hang of it and kept a steady stream i was able to avoid the streaks.loreal sublime bronze spray tanner
pro - gives a dark tan with the first use
pro - dries quickley
con - easily turns orange and unnatural looking
con - does not spray at any angle so it was tough to manuever
con - the "lime scent" was NOT pleasent
con - streaky mess! and the more i tried to fix it, it became more uneven
overall not my fave, it was on sale buy one get one 1/2 off at walgreens (i now know why), i will try to use it up, but will go back to the nuetrogena one even though its a higher price point.
so i really liked the neutrogena tanner and would recommend that one over the sublime bronze. do you have a favorite? please share. and remember, stay f!erce mamas!
