Self-tanner experience #1: St. Tropez Day 2 results

For the first and second posts of this St. Tropez trial series, visit here (first post) and here (second post).


Okay, I've used the St. Tropez self-tanning lotion TWICE now. And today I woke up much happier to the results that I saw! My color still isn't THAT that tan, but I am definitely darker than when I started. (Also, I do just want to apologize for these pictures, I literally take them RIGHT when I wake up. I promise I don't go around the entire day looking like I do here! Also they are still not the best quality, I think its bc of the bathroom lighting and the fact that I am in desperate need of a new phone, WHICH I will hopefully have taken care of in a month!)
After (very subtle difference, the lighting in my bathroom right now is awful also, keep in mind!)

The color that this lotion gives you is really nice. No orange undertones like a lot of the cheaper tanning lotions. I think that after a few more days of regular use I will have a nice, healthy glow :)

Still not the best product for immediate results, but it is REALLY high quality!

Self-tanner experience #1: St. Tropez

I talked about how I am feeling UNBELIEVABLY PALE right now, and someone suggested on that post to try self-tanners and then write about it. So that is what I'm doing now.

This is the bottle! (PS, like my NYC poster
in the background?!)
I went to Sephora today to get new, paler foundation (sad face), and while I was there, I decided to treat myself to a nicer tanning lotion - St. Tropez. It was $30, so A LOT more expensive than what I'm used to paying (I usually use a L'oreal one that you can get from CVS or Target or something), but desperate times call for desperate measures. The lady at the cash register also said that it works VERY WELL and that I should watch the more detailed parts of my skin (ie elbows, near the eyes, etc). Very interested to see if she is right.

I've just applied the lotion and I guess we will see how it looks tomorrow! It isn't tinted so that's good that it won't get all over my sheets and clothes while I sleep tonight. It also went on pretty thick, so I really feel moisturized! My skin feels so soft :)

The before shot...(sorry I look extremely awful here, it's been a loooong day!)

been a looooong day! And I'm concentrating hard.
And I'm pale.

Okay, to be continued!
