I posted this photo back in June as we were packing to leave for a weekend in Chicago! It was a combination of visiting my sister, celebrating our anniversary, and seeing some dear college friends for a shower!
The number one question in the comments? How are you so tan!?
And I promised to share my secret and of course I had some elaborate post and I made it way more complicated than it needed to be….and well…when you’re 36 weeks pregnant:
Heck, I don’t care if you just drank 4 shots of espresso, there is more fun to be had than an elaborate post on self tanners. C’mon Kacia.
So here are the details:
It’s the bomb dot com (do people still say that?) and I cannot stress that enough. I’ve only done the whole spraytan thing a few times for weddings and things, and each time I’ve been super disappointed with the results…especially for what I paid!
The mouse is ridiculously forgiving because it is slightly tinted (so you can see where you’re applying) and also it doesn’t go on like a lotion. Think of it as mousse-toner almost? It dries almost instantly, but then if you notice a weird line, you can use the excess on your to blend it back in.
I bought it and let it sit for about 3 weeks because I was so nervous, and I’m kicking myself for not using it sooner.
Okay, so why on earth am I sharing this information with you now?
And to not tell you would be rude and mean. Or something.
The 4oz Mousse is regularly $32.50, but for $30.50, you can get both the 4oz mousse and the tanning lotion.
SEE!?
I typically only use the lotion when I’m trying to prolong the tan or to give my legs or arms and shoulders a little deeper color — but the mousse itself lasts for about a week!
I snatched a few photos that I know I used the St Tropez mousse! The top right I used it that morning — so it still has the immediate bronzer as well. In the bottom right photo, I used the lotion all over as well to get a little bit deeper of a tan color.
Okay. Oh! And this combo pack doesn’t include the mitt — but you’ll definitely want that! I cannot believe how easy it makes applying the mousse! I just wash with cold water and some handsoap before I let it dry! oh! St Tropez has some great videos with application advice that I highly recommend watching before you apply! I even bring my full length mirror into our bathroom, so I can see my back as I apply, since that is definitely the toughest part — but not hard, I promise!
I’m taking over the Better Life Bags Instagram feed this weekend! This style is the new Linda bag with one of the new woven cotton Aztec prints! I love it!
Happy Sunday, loves! Carry on with your day — just had to share about this crazy sale and this gorgeous new bag — y’all know I’m a huge fan of Rebecca and what she is doing with Better Life Bags!
