If you have not seen it yet! Here is my first YouTube video! I would be SO grateful if you wanted to subscribe to my channel or give it a thumbs up on YouTube!! Thanks!!!
As for today! I wanted to mention the products that are helping me get that bronzed glow that I just love this time of year!
Here are some selfies from the wekeend that I think showcase either my tan or my glow! (Iphone pics! Sorry!)
Okie Dokie! So here is how I got my Bronzed glow!!
1. Spray Tan! I went to a reputable tanning salon and got my first ever Machine Spray Tan! I was very worried because usually I get an actual person to do it! And all I could think of was Ross from Friends and his epic Machine Tan Fail! But I was SO HAPPY WITH IT. Because of the direct sun, the three photos above don't show the tan very well, but I think these two below really do! Just a nice toasted bronze!
2. Now I was thiiiissssss close to buying my foundation in a darker colour for this tan... and then I just stopped... and reached for a cheaper product! I picked up the NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in 'Sunny' for $2.99! I have heard that this bronzer is a dupe for the Hoola bronzer.. not sure about that, because it is not as dark, but it was FANTASTIC at warming up my foundation! I didn't put it everywhere, but was a lot more liberal in the blending out step than I would be without a tan!
3. OK so now my skin matched by body but I didn't have any definition! I used my slightly darker Hoola Bronzer and my even darker ELF bronzer to contour! Which I think shows really nicely in this picture below.

| YA.. I know this is the third time I've posted it lol! |
4. Now for that glow! I'll be honest... I was at a Roof Top Patio Birthday Party in this picture, and had been sitting in the sun for hours! So I am a little dewy from sweat lol! But the rest of the glow is from my Mary-LouManizer Highlighter from The Balm (a little pricey, I've heard there are close dupes)! I used this product in my YouTube video, which shows that a little goes a long way! This needs to be put in specific areas (top of cheek bones, bridge of nose, bow in lip, center of forehead, and chin) but just a tiny bit!.... You don't want to show up to the party as Edward Cullen!

Your first video is really amazing. I hope a lot more people watch it and subscribe. I love Benefit's Hoola bronzer, it has to be my go to bronzer for all year around. I still have not tried the Mary-Lou Manizer, it looks beautiful.

Haha, the Edward Cullen photo made me laugh a little - that's how I feel right now! You're lucky to have experienced such a positive machine spray tan.. there are sure are some horror stories doing the rounds on that front! You look positively glowing - so pretty! :)
