Natural Self Taner

I received this natural self tanner by thermalabs for a discounted rate to test out.. I have never, ever tried any kind of self tanners before. I remember girls in high school with orange elbows and orange knees from self tanners. I didn't want to end up looking orange at all. I am so glad that I gave it a try. Its so easy to use. You apply it just as you would any lotion. I exfoliated my legs before using, dried off and then applied the tanning lotion. Within a few hours I could see a difference. I only used it on my legs because my face and arms already have a light tan. I like that this lotion gave me a new light tan and not a dark one. My legs now match my arms. I have a wedding this weekend and I'm so glad I don't have to go with my ghostly white legs. I did however end up with a few dark spots around my ankles. Nothing major and I'm guessing I just didn't rub it in, in those spots. Its not really noticable so I don't even care. To show you how my legs look I took a picture of my leg beside my husbands side. His side is very white and thats pretty much how bad my legs were. The picture really shows you the nice tan I now have. I will be using this lotion through out the summer since my poor legs are not going to see much sun. 

3D Fiber Lash Mascara by Mia Adora

I received this product at a discounted rate for testing purposes. I have always been lacking in the lashes department and this product gave me some nice lashes.

It came in a very cute little box. Which is perfect for me because I won't have to dig through my huge make box to find them. 

There are two applicators. I love that the instructions are right there as soon as you open the box.

First you have the Magnifying Gel, which is steps 1 & 2. You apply this from base to top. Giving you lashes a nice coating, about 15-20 strokes.

Then while the gel is still wet you apply the Natural Fiber lashes. You put it on mid-lashes to top, keeping it from getting to close to your eye, which is a good thing because I did have some fibers land on my checks while using. I'm sure they would not feel to good in your eye. You allow the fibers around 20 seconds to dry then apply step 1 again. Giving it another 15-20 coats to prevent the fibers from flaking through out the day. 

This is what step one looks like. Just like a regular mascara brush.

Step two has a little brush but without the bristles.

Not very good at taking a picture of my own lashes but you can really see the difference between the eyelashes that have the 3D Fiber Lash Mascara and the lashes that don't. I was really impressed with this mascara. I had no problems with it flaking at all. I applied it at about 9am before I went to a bridal shower and then I was at a picnic until 10:30 or so. When I got home and went to remove my make-up my lashes still looked great. I think I found my new favorate mascara.
