Self Tanners -Lancome - FLASH BRONZER Self-Tanning Face Gel
prettypiscesnyc 1/6/2009 8:41:00 AM
Bought it at the airport a couple weeks ago. My skin was dry & pale from the winter. In desperate need of something 'different". Its in GEL form which I never tried & is loaded with vitamin E. Right away, my skin was normalized & my blotchy sensitive skin was even- toned - applied a lighter powder over it & noticed a tan within the hour- if you dont apply it everyday, it fades- I suggest a good exfoliator- you dont need any foundation/powder- maybe just a tinted moisturizer to even out the color- best self tanner for face xxx

Primer/ Corrector -BeneFit Cosmetics - That Gal

BeneFit has the best packaging- thats the obvious draw. I usually shop a Sephora for one-stop makeup/ skin care shopping since they have some of the top quality not to mention trendy skin care products:) My mom & I were in Macys last week doing last minute shopping before xmas. I couldnt find any clothes I like so we stopped by the makeup area- right away, I noticed benefit. We walked away with 2 gift sets (that included "that girl) & also some kind gorgeous, eye liner, get even powder, etc... I used a primer in the past but cant remember the who made it. My skin is combo- it can be dry but still breakout! Esp. in the winter:( At first I wasnt impressed with That Girl primer under the "fake-it" foundation- I prefer them seperate. My skin has cleared ip a lot the past few weeks after adjusting to the weather change & Im flying out of the country this weekend so I dont wanna wear caked on make-up since the air quality sucks at such a high altitude. Today i began playing around with all my "natural makeup". I decided to try that girl alone about an hour after showering. Usually my t-zone gets oily- I really only focise on my shiny nose- I put a dab on my nose & fore head then rubbed it in with my finger tips- a small amt goes a long way. Miraculously, my skin didnt look more oily but matte, my pores looked my "refined, & there was just a hint of color- Im fair-medium & tend to get flushed easily. All in all, "That Girl" should be applied about 30 mins to an hour after moisturizer or else it will just mix in. I can see how it is "flawed" especially for acneic or very dry skin- close up it will look cakey & show all your lines although it does conceal pores well & reduces shine. I say MINERAL powder/foundation is the best match either over or under That Girl. Hope this helped xx
