A few suggestions...

Ocean Potion Ever Glow lotion! I discovered this a few years ago in college and I love it! It only takes one application to start seeing subtle results! I just put it on after I get out of the shower and it does it's magic! I have always wished I could be tan so this is the next best thing =). The best part about this lotion is it smells like oranges and doesn't have too much of a "self-tanner" smell. So if you are hopelessly pale like I am this is the perfect spring/summer lotion for you!

GEL EYELINER! So as many of you know I am a fan of makeup (sometimes a little on the dramatic side...ha!). I especially love eye makeup...probably because I'm a redhead and have no color =). Anyway, for about 10 years I have used liquid eyeliner, which most girls find really difficult to use, but always came easy to me. When a friend suggested I try gel eyeliner I must admit I was a little skeptical as I am not a big fan of change... BUT I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. It is super easy to apply (I really think anyone could do it) and you can make it as thick or thin as you like. I have this Maybelline kind and so far I am loving it! It stays on great (even through 12 hour shifts) and doesn't smudge! I just had to share and suggest you try it!

Me = hopelessly pale. I will have to check this out! I used to use Jergens but I felt like it was obvious where I didn't put it on evenly. Does this blend in well or do you have to be super careful about how you apply it? And does it stain your clothes if you get dressed right away?

It blends in well! I usually let it dry before I put on clothes so I'm not sure if it stains. I use to use Jergens too but I like this better. AND its a bigger bottle and cheaper =).

Now I have two new things to go get and try!! :) I gave up on sunless tanners because they always leave my hands orange afterwards and were blotchy if you didn't coat evenly. Does this kind do that to you??
I've always been hesitant to try liquid eyeliner (I'm a pencil girl) but this stuff looks neat, so I will have to try it out!! Thanks!

I always wash my hands really well after putting it on. If you put in on evenly it looks fine! The gel like then liquid is darker and more even than pencil. It is super easy to apply and there are even you tube videos on how to do it =)

Ok, I bought the eyeliner and LOVE it!! Who knew I would convert so easily to gel over pencil.. :)
I am still on the search for the Ocean Potion but I'm anxious to try it out!! Thanks for your awesome suggestions!! :)
