L’Oreal Sublime Bronze Pro-Perfect Self Tanner

June 28, 2008 By Carleenp 1 Comment

Last year, I wrote about how impressed I was with L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Spray (Read Review). Now L'Oreal has updated the product with ProPerfect Sublime Bronze.

I gave it a try and interestingly, I liked the old version better. This one came out more orange on me than the one I tried last year. With that said, I got perfectly acceptable results and I will happily use up the can. Streaking was minimal, and I like the spray at any angle feature.

Sunscreen Week at Beauty and Fashion Tech

August 6, 2007 By Carleenp 4 Comments

This week is sunscreen week at Beauty and Fashion Tech!

I have posted in the past about The importance of safe sun. Sunscreen was also my number one product in the list of top five kinds of skin care products for every skin type.

Not too long ago, I also took a look at the New Sunscreen Database from the Environmental Working Group. There, I questioned whether the top sunscreens on the list would also be pleasing to women cosmetically. Certainly the more comfortable and attractive a sunscreen is to wear, the more likely it is that women will do so. With that in mind, I wrote to a number of the companies that had products in the database, and some who did not. Several comapnies were gracious enough to send items for me to samples and I am happy to say that they all were good products to wear, with some better for some skin types than others. So I think I found something for everyone. I will be posting about those sunscreens this week.

Also note that I have previously reviewed the following sunscreens:

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch SPF 45 and Aveeno Sunblock SPF 30 and MenScience Ti02 SPF30. For a look at some fake bake items, visit the Self Tanners Page.

Small Correction to Yesterday’s Self Tanning Post.

June 13, 2007 By Carleenp Leave a Comment

If you read my L'Oreal self tanner review yesterday, please take note of the update a the bottom, which I will also include here.

I had used both the L'Oreal self tanning gelee and lotion, and finding them quite similar in use and effectiveness, meant to review just the shimmery one in order to conserve space. But I realized last night that I had accidentally attributed the shimmer to the gelee, when it is the lotion that has the really noticeable shimmer. I have updated the review now to include both the gelee and the lotion.

I apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. They both are very similar and great products, but the tinted lotion is the one with the really noticable shimmer.
