Face Tanner

::Sephora collection tanner (here)::
Remember on Monday when I discussed my pasty legs and the need for sun? Well, until it’s 80 degree here in NC, I wont be laying by the pool, so instead I tried some sunless tanner this past weekend. I actually have never used sunless tanner, but this Sephora one seemed harmless enough at $5.00 to give it a try without breaking the bank. The reviews were about 50/50 and I must say I feel more about 70/30. Overall, I liked it enough. 
Before application- just wearing lipgloss, eyebrow powder, mascara and eyeliner. 

After application. 
After bronzer, blush and a pressed powder. 

Application was easy enough, you click the tube to “on” and then squeeze like a toothpaste tube. Then, you simply apply it around your face. The tube said you didn’t need to use fingers to rub in, but I found the brush attached wasn’t that great. I used my fingers to blend it in and spread it around, otherwise, I feel like I would have used more than necessary from the tube. 
The smell is actually fine, I didn’t notice anything extreme. It smells like typical sunless tanner, but it fades about application. Before I applied my bronzer and powder, I found it to be a little orange, but once my makeup was over it, I actually thought it looked pretty natural. Aaron even asked if I had been “tanning.”
Overall, I think for $5.00 its a decent product. It doesn’t last more than 1-2 days, but it’s also cheap enough that you can use it everyday and afford to buy another tube. If I find I like this one, I may try something more expensive, but for now, this tube will suite me just fine! 
Please feel free to leave questions in the comments and Ill answer them!
