Product Review: Loreal Sublime Bronze One Day Tinted Gel
I kind of glazed over the magazine ads for this product because I thought the tag line ended with ”…in just one day,” and I thought, don’t all faux tanners work in just one day? And in my case all self tanners make me smell like a bacon-flavored dog treat in just one day. No matter how ok they smell coming out of the tube the chemical reaction that causes the tan just HATES me. It is really gross. But the tag line is actually ”For just one day,” meaning this isn’t a self tanner but a body bronzer that washes off with soap. So I ran out to try it, because I thought this could be good for those parts of me that never see the light of day until memorial day, and here is… memorial day.
So, I love this product. It comes out of the bottle looking really dark and goopy and really pigments your skin in a noticeable but not crazy way. I just rubbed it in like a lotion on my legs and no streaks. But the best thing (and the thing I was most concerned about) is that it really stayed looking non-atrocious all day and did not stain anything. First I took a long car ride in my in-laws’ very clean car, no staining(whew). Then I sat on the beach and got pretty sandy and sweaty, and splashy (although not full-on wet) and other than a few coffee-colored sweat drops on my skin, no color loss or streaks. Feeling cocky I then took a nap with my 3 year old son on my mother’s very clean white coverlet, and am happy to report there was no bronze replica of my legs on said coverlet when we awoke! So I was pretty pleased. My bottle was 11$, and a little went a long way.

Guess how much this black maxi sundress costs? Fifteen dollars. Yes Fifteen dollars. That is a one and a five. The shipping is $0.97! How can this be? I don’t know and I don’t care. This is from the Norma Kamali line at Walmart which is pretty awesome all around I think.

Calling all single ladies, because I’m guessing there aren’t many husband’s out there who will want this. I am so in love with this new peacock bedding from Dwell Studio. Its pretty much the best thing to happen to the bedroom since, nevermind. The duvet and two sham are $280 for a queen set.

This morning was spring cleaning day in my closet. I tend to live in white t-shirts when I’m not at the office and due to excessive clumbsiness combines with perspiration my T’s don’t tend to survive longer than a year even with regular bleaching. So once a year I purge all white t-shirts and order a fresh set. My favorits are the Mossimo Black Label from Target and these Gap Favorite T’s with Stretch. The Mossimo T’s were sold out in my size already but fear not because the Gap T’s were on sale for $5.99. I ordered 5, hope that’s enough. And now that I’m done with that its time to head outside to enjoy the day.

Being the proud owners of a cookie cutter new construction condo we have our fair share of walls that are super boring looking. A big part of me wants to spend a weekend gluing beveled mirror tiles to a one of these walls to give the place a little added interest. But then what would happen 5 years from now when it was time to sell and those tiles were rather permanently attached to the wall? I think the Axis Mirror from Z Gallerie is the perfect solution. Its huge and pretty awesome looking and would not have to be a permanent fixture. The only drawback is that the bottom edge must remain firmly planted on theground because it weighs a zillion pounds. That a bummer but something I think I can work with.
