St. Tropez Bronzing Rocks

I am so pale! I can't stand not seeing the sun. Mid 60s in Vegas was a treat! At least there was sun...

I am constantly using bronzing and self tanner lotion and powder to brighten up my complexion. I don't like to use too much self tanner on my face (sensitive skin), so I usually opt for powder. One of my recent favorites is St. Tropez's bronzing rocks. The Bronzing Rocks give me the perfect amount of color to look like I've spent some time on the beach. It's a natural suntan look. When I apply it in the morning it lasts throughout most of the day at work.

You can also use this on your decolletage, eye shadow, or lips with a clear gloss. The price point is at $40, but these will last a long, long time. We're talking, months. I've been using them for about 2 months now and they still look untouched.

China Glaze - Up & Away

I already posted about China Glaze's Spring 2010 line, Up & Away, but I had a chance to test out a few of the colors and they are so candy-licious. The colors I tried out remind me of candy heart colors, Happy Go Lucky (sunshine yellow), Something Sweet (cotton candy pink), Re-Fresh Mint (spearmint green), perfect timing for Valentine's Day.

Below I have on Re-Fresh Mint. This color is so refreshing (pun intended) and fun. It's very unique, and although I'm not a nail polish expert, I have never seen a color like this. It's the perfect intro color into spring this year. I can't wait to wear it on my toes with a white sundress.
