Hello Gorgeous!
I recently tested Manna Kadar self tanning lotion called Bronzed Beauty. I like that it is a paraben free product. Application is simple with the bronze color showing up as you apply. After rubbing it in to the skin it does fade to a light brown tone but deepens with a few hours.

It has a  very light coconut beach like smell and is very pleasant. I liked my sample, but think that I prefer the aerosol spray tanners because I prefer to hose it on if I can't get to the salon for a spray tan.

Here's some information from the website:


Become a bronzed beauty with Manna Kadar’s Self Tanning Lotion. This innovative formula is a custom blend of natural ingredients creating the richest looking
tan in the most luxurious way without the sun. Achieve a golden glow with natural ingredients ach as Aloe, Vitamin A & Vitamin E that serve to moisturize, hydrate & protect
the body with a fresh almond oil scent.
To apply:
Smooth evenly over face and body. Color is instant and will intensify in 3 hours. To avoid discoloring palms wash hands with soap and water immediately after use. To maintain tan apply Bronze Beauty Self Tanning Lotion 1 to 3 times weekly.

$24.00 for a 4 ounce bottle.

Hey Gorgeous,
Quick update on my testing of the new spray self tanner with hyaluronic acid by TansXL. But first, a wee lesson in self tanners from Laura Bramble, author at eHow.
"Sunless tanners work because they contain an active ingredient called dihydroxyacetone, or DHA for short. DHA is a nontoxic simple sugar. It interacts with the amino acids in the skin, turning it brown in the process. Adding chemicals like glycine, histidine and lysine can add different tones to the base color achieved by DHA. This helps to give a more natural golden brown effect."
So, I got a great golden brown color after applying two spray coats of TansXL. Only challenge-is the smell. On day 2 after a heavy run and lots of sweating the smell coming off of me was fairly tart. Even after my shower I smelled like Paris Amour by Bath and Body Works and DHA. Great.
Alas, my tan looks good.

How to Keep Your Makeup from Melting

Going to an outdoor wedding or just fighting the daily onslaught of humidity? Check out these tips to keep your makeup from dripping

This is a TotalBeauty.com makeup article I'm going to an outdoor wedding in the sticky hot month of June and to prep for the guaranteed makeup meltdown, I went to celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles to get the lowdown on keeping my face from running down my couture. Get tips

Hi!
It's National Skin Cancer Awareness month and you can get a beautiful, bronze glow all over at home, anytime you want using this simple system by Luminess Tan!
I enjoyed the sample that was sent to the blog and had an easy time using it. I do have prior airbrush experience was a makeup artist and this may have contributed to my ease? I really like that there was so much hose to use! I had one boo boo and the that is the pigment bottle fell off and made a bit of a mess on the tile-thank goodness I did not have light colored carpet! Now, I had a good experience, though I have seen some reviews of poor customer service from the product fulfillment house and compressors that didn't work when they arrived and being charged shipping to have a replacement shipped out. I hope you don't have that experience but instead enjoy your at home airbrush tan and are happy with it too!
Everything comes in the kit: the power system, ac adapter, stylus, 2 pigment bottles and a cleaning bottle plus a handy little bag to carry it all in!
Enjoy this short video!
