My Current Sunless Tanning Routine | Million Dollar Tan

Hey Hey Hey!

So with warm weather rapidly approaching, 

my summer bod is not ready *she types as she eats a cookie

and chances are you're just as pale as I am soooo I wanted to share my self tanning routine.

Sunless tanning is safer (depending on your product of choice) than a tanning bed or good ol laying out and baking like a rotisserie chicken and won't have such intense premature aging effects on your skin.

Truth be told, sunless tanning isn't my favorite, it's actually kind of a pain in my entire ass, I'm not sure there's anyone who 'loves' it, BUT you gotta do what cha gotta do!

(This is the least painful way I've discovered. *wink)

Sunless tanning isn't something I do regularly, but when I'm aching for some color or have a special occasion it's my go to!

Million Dollar Tan is the brand I prefer after many trials and errors.  

I've tried a few things from them but Cabana Tan Extreme & Mermaid Mousse Extreme are my favorites & I mix them together.

I apply both with their "Blend Friend Mitt".

Y'all seriously though, the mitt is everything... It's a total game changer for a flawless tan.

Quick Run Down of the 2:

Both are sunless gradual tanners that last anywhere from 1-2 weeks, CTE is a white lotion with no color guard while MME is a mousse and has a color guard that gives some instant color while the rest develops.

Mermaid Mousse is Cruelty Free, Vegan, Natural Ingredients, and Paraben Free.

I'm not sure about Cabana Tan Extreme because it doesn't say. *shrugs

Tips:

• Shower, Shave, and Exfoliate Prior (Because you don't want to be furry and because it rubs off dry/ dead skin so you don't look like a patchwork blanket!)
• Allow your pores time to close after showering before applying tanner
• Shaving the day prior to tanning will reduce the chance of ugly brown spots. (This is from the tanner settling into your open pores, it isn't cute.)
• Make sure you're dry before applying
• Apply a barrier cream or extra lotion to extra dry spots (elbows, wrists, feet, etc) to avoid tanner buildup/ orange areas.
• Wear dark/ loose fitting clothing (If the product has a color guard it may transfer but will wash out.)
• Do NOT sweat or get wet in any way while your tan is developing (Any wetness may make your tan blotchy/ patchy.. So better stay away from that porn too. lmao)
• Give your tan at least 6 hours to develop (I let mine marinate overnight.)
• Once it's done developing, shower to rinse the color guard & any excess off.
• In the week(s) a head reduce how often you exfoliate your face/ body to expand the life of your tan.

My Routine:

1. I shower, shave, and exfoliate... I actually exfoliate before I shave but whatevvs it's your thing do what you wanna do, girl.  *Currently my favorite scrub is by Soap & Glory and it's "The Breakfast Scrub" smells so good!! Mmmm
2. Once I get out of the shower I towel dry a little and then air dry for about 10-15 minutes to let my pores close and make sure my skin is good and dry.
3. I take some coconut oil (better than any barrier cream you'll ever use.) and rub it all over my knees, elbows, wrists, the bottom of my feet, toes, heels, and then I rub it all over my hands before putting on the "blend friend" mitt.  (So no tanner seeps through and I end up with orange palms.)
4. I slip the mitt on (I rotate back and fourth from my left & right hand to get a good even application) and put a few pumps of  CTE & MME on the mitt, dab a few spots over the area I'm working on, and then I begin to rub and blend it in.  *I usually start up top and work my way down but do my face last.  i.e.: arms, chest, stomach, legs.. you get the idea.
5. As I'm doing my body I rub majority of the tanner in before hitting any of the spots I applied coconut oil to so that there's minimum product on my mitt and I don't get any buildup in those tricky areas.  *I go over my chest, arms, and legs twice.
6. Once I've done my body, I apply my usual face moisturizer- then using the opposite side of the mitt (because in my head that seems more sanitary) I pump some of the CTE FACE lotion and a half pump of MME then apply that all over my face and down my neck.  Don't forget the back of your neck!  I just rub over it with whatever is left on my mitt after doing my face,
7. Once you've completed those steps you're pretty much done.  Just to be safe I usually walk/ dance around my room for 10 minutes or so just to make sure it's all dry before dressing.

The next day.. Makeup sold separately.

I hope y'all enjoy this!  

I know it may seem like a lot but I promise it takes me 20 mins tops to apply!! 

Of course I'm not saying this is the right or only way to self tan, it's just my way and I wanted to share... Sharing is caring after all.

Beauty Gift Sets: Holiday 2016

1. Glam Glow Pout Mud Lip Exfoliator + Lip Balm Duo

2. Jouer The Best Of Nudes Mini Liquid Lipsticks 

3. Laura Geller Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminators

4. Buxom Freezes Over 15 Piece Mini Lip Collection (Love the Buxom lippies!)

5. The Perfect Bite Mini Lipstick Set (On my Christmas List- SO GORG!)

6. NARS Unfiltered II Cheek Palette

7. Million Dollar Tan- Cabana Tan Extreme Body + Face Set  (My favorites! - Use code TERINTAN20 for 20% off your order on the MDT site.)

Part of the reason this is the most wonderful time of the year is because of all the amazing beauty gift sets that are released, let's be honest.

I'm especially obsessed this year as all of the top brands have dropped some pretty stellar products so I thought I'd throw together a mini list of my faves.

Below is a brief description & reason why I chose each product. 

-I'm really tempted to order this Glam Glow duo for myself, I've heard such great things about their products and my lips are so dry in the winter.

-The Jouer Best of Nudes set is too gorg for words.  I can't lie, I am mildly devastated that it seems to have sold out before I could get my hands on it.  

-I've played with the Laura Geller Baked Gelato Illuminators a bit.  They're really pretty, and the formula is similar to Becca.  I've heard amazing things about "Gilded Honey", and in this set not only do you get that shade but you get 2 other minis for the price of 1 full size shade.

-Buxom.  Enough said.  My favorite is the lip cream in "White Russisn" which is in this set.  Included, you get minis of some of their best selling shades from each collection as well as their newly released liquid lipsticks.  

-I'm obsessing over this Bite Beauty set!  I've been contemplating buying their lipstick in "Honeycomb", but then I seen this set with Honeycomb as well as 3 other beautiful shades, all for the price of 1 full size lipstick.  It's a no-brainer.

-NARS is pretty well known for their cheek products and every year they drop something incredible.  This year they gave us their Unfiltered 1 & 2 palettes.  While they're both pretty, #2 calls to me more. 

-Million Dollar Tan is the only brand of products I use to self tan throughout the year when I'm feeling pasty.  Cabana Tan Extreme is my favorite, but I also love their "All That Shimmers" dry oil and "Mermaid Mousse" self-tanner.  

Right now they're having some great sales going on over on their site and you can use my code TERINTAN20 for 20% off your ENTIRE order. 

That's all for this post!

I hope y'all get a chance to grab up some of these awesome sets before they're gone.

Coconut Oil: Worth The Hype?

So I'm sure by now we've all seen the ever so talked about Coconut Oil trend.  

After seeing it mentioned on various social media outlets and hearing people rave about what a miracle product it is, I was convinced I needed to try it.

I researched the type you want to get for multi-purpose uses (Organic & Unrefined) and headed to Target! 

I bought the Simply Balanced Organic Unrefined Virgin Coconut Oil, I'll link it below.

Click HERE -$6.99

Simply Balanced is a Target brand and I don't believe can be found anywhere else.

So now that I am finished with my first jar and have repurchased another I feel I'm experienced enough to share my opinion.  Basically, I'm obsessed.

This stuff is AMAZING! 

Everyone needs it in their house, bathroom, bedroom, EVERYWHERE!

It's a solid, but melts at 75 degrees and/or with your body temp.

There's a faint smell, it reminds me of an Almond Joy candy bar, but after a while you don't even notice it.

A few of my favorite ways to use it...  Moisturizer!  It absorbs after a bit and doesn't leave you greasy like most oils would.  I've also used it to relieve a sunburn recently and it helped a ton! 

It's also said to help cellulite.

I tend to get texture under my eyes and when wearing makeup, my concealer clings to it for dear life, but not anymore!  I either apply some before bed, or a tiny tiny bit under my eyes after moisturizing but prior to applying makeup.  Seriously works wonders!

I have swapped this for my Bio Oil (which I have loved for years).  I apply it to my bikini area to soothe the skin after shaving, keep the area moisturized, and to prevent ingrown hairs.

It works just as well as Bio Oil, but better in my opinion and it's organic!  So it's more save to apply to those "delicate" areas.

I apply this to my lips when they're dry or cracked and it heals them up almost immediately.

I also use a little bit on my face from time to time to treat dry patches, and even a dry itchy nose from allergies.  I have combo to oily skin that tends to be very sensitive to new products ESPECIALLY oily ones, but this doesn't bother me AT ALL.  Maybe because it's organic??

I also briefly tried "oil pulling" which is the process of swishing this stuff around in your mouth for about 20 minutes; however, it gave me a migraine, which is common.  

Coconut Oil combined with Dry Brushing (my other newest obsession) are total game changers in my opinion!

(If you'd like a blog on Dry Brushing, let me know!)

Other Suggested Ways To Use Coconut Oil:

-Cooking (replaces unhealthy fats and is a more natural cooking oil)

-Shaving/ Shaving Cream

-Sexual Lubricant (reduces chances of UTIs and various issues caused by regular lubricants due to it being completely organic.)

-Hair Treatment

-Eat 1-2 tablespoon a day to improve digestion, balance hormones, balance blood sugar, improves energy, burns fat, and helps lower cholesterol.

-Coffee Creamer/ Sweetener

Overall, I say Coconut Oil is a must in every household!

There's so many uses and benefits of this stuff.

Why waste money on so many products when you can wipe them all out with 1?!?!

It doesn't get any better than that, guys!

If you want more information, checkout this awesome article I found,

77 Coconut Oil Uses and Cures.

This post ended up being a bit longer than I originally intended, but it's because I am just utterly obsessed and wanted to share all of the awesomeness!!! 

Lol

Hope y'all enjoyed!

My Go-To Spring & Summer Nail Polishes💅🏽

Hey Y'all!!

So with Summer quickly approaching, today I'm going to be sharing my favorite nail polishes for Spring & Summer months.

For polish, staying power is #1 for me and #2 is a good color POP.

I always apply 2 coats of whichever shade I am using to ensure the color is strong and not streaky.

I love mints, corals, and peaches for Summer.

For me, they just scream Summer Time and look fab with a tan!

I'm pretty much addicted to buying nail polishes, I pick up at least 1 every time I go shopping, so I wanted to share my all time faves for Summer!

:-)

(All products mentioned will be listed below)

^Without Flash

^With Flash

^Without Flash

^With Flash

(Left to Right- Wet N Wild "I need a RefreshMINT", Essie "Mint Candy Apple", Julie G "Bikini", Salon Perfect "Tickled Pink", Salon Perfect "Georgia Peach", Sally Hansen "Big Shiny Top Coat".

The Wet N Wild polish is one of my holy grails!  I own multiple polishes from this line and they all are super pigmented, apply easily & even, and last at least a week and a half without chipping.

(Price: Approx $3)

Essie MCA is a gorgeous shade.  Essie polishes aren't the best quality in my opinion especially for the price, but some of their shades are just irresistible, like this one!

(Price: Approx $9)

This Julie G polish is a beautiful neon coral shade with an adorable name, but sadly it chips VERY easily.  For the price point, it's lasting power isn't a huge disappointment and I can deal with it.

(Price: Approx $2)

Salon Perfect makes some super cute shades and lots of neons for Summer.  Tickled Pink is an everyday bright pink shade.

Georgia Peach is a new one I just picked up.  It's interesting because it appears different depending on lighting, but ultimately is a pretty & light neon peach shade.  SP polishes are a lacquer, which in my opinion, are stronger than a typical polish and are twice as hard to remove.

(Price: Approx $4)

I wanted to mention the SH Big Shiny Top Coat because it's my go-to top coat whenever applying polish.  It makes any color just really POP & shine while also speeding up the drying time.

(Price: Approx $4)

^With Flash

(Left To Right: SH Miracle Gel "Bare Dare", SH Miracle Gel "TopCoat", SH Miracle Gel "Get Mod", SH Miracle Gel "Tidal Blue".

I separated these 4 from the others because they're all the same brand.  I enjoy the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polishes and have quite a few of them.  Tidal Blue is probably my all time favorite from this line because it's the prettiest cobalt blue I've ever laid my eyes on.  These polishes last pretty well and apply great.  For the price, I think they're a good quality polish and live up to the hype.  Without the miracle gel top coat, I have found that they chip much easier and don't last as long compared to when applied with the suggested top coat.

(Price: Approx $8)

Well...

That pretty much wraps up this post.

I hope you guys enjoyed!!

As always, please feel free to drop any questions/ suggestions in the comments or in a private message (located in the NAV bar).

If you decide to try out any of these polishes, send me pics!

Also, let me know if y'all would like to see a polish organization post!
