{not so new} what’s new in my bathroom?

by Nina on January 22, 2009


I’m pretty sure I’ve touched on this before (I think my very first ‘what’s new in my bathroom?’) but Belle of the Ball is looking for the perfect self-tanner and her comments show that many of us are in need of reducing the winter whiteness!

My friend, Arden, led me to this little bottle of gold. St. Tropez Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion. Here are the KEY POINTS:

1. Must be Step 3 (the pump is the giveaway… no pump… it’s not the right one)

2. The lotion is tinted aka it’s almost black. This makes it very easy to see where it is going and how much you need unlike the colorless lotions.

3. MIX IT with your regular daily lotion. 1/4 St. Tropez 3/4 Daily Lotion. Or 1/2 & 1/2. This gives you nice color without looking like you have self-tanner on.

This morning it was All-Family Workout… in our Finest Winter Gear! Don’t look too closely though… it’s a bit scary. Can’t you tell they love getting their picture taken at 7:20AM? But anyway, it was a great start to the day. I’m traveling today… so until later tonight. Good Day, Readers.

I have used that product before and it is great! I have actually forgotten all about it. Thanks for the reminder and great tip about mixing with lotion!

My glow-in-the-dark legs thank you in advance. We get “pale” even in Texas… and since I won’t give in to the tanning bed trend, I have to do SOMETHING to look less like Caspar the Friendly ghost at my sister’s upcoming wedding. You’re the best.

Ooo..thanks for sharing! I’ve never used tanning lotion..always just gone to the tanning bed or lay out in the sun. Can you use this on your face? If not, what do you use on your face?

Oh I can’t wait to try this! I haven’t found a tan in a bottle that I just love, so I can’t wait to get my hands on this. Can you buy it at any drug store or do you have to buy online? Thanks for the rec!
