Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer

I am an ultra pale girl who embraced her ghostly status years ago. I do not sun bathe nor do I do self tanners. I discovered bronzers last year and have been satisfied of the result.

This summer is different.

Beauty Addict has been reviewing self tanners on her blog.

I have been hanging on every word.

I decided to try Jergen's Natural Glow first since it received a good Beauty Addict seal. I wanted natural color with very little stench.

After one application I spied a slight difference in color.

Of course I went to work and compared my skin to my co-workers.

They all agreed I was less ghost-like and that I might be on the path way to some color.

There is a stench to this product. It is very subtle but it seems to grow more powerful as the day progresses.

It is a mixture of sweat and something slightly salty.

At first I thought it was not bad.

There was something earthy and sexual about it.

It quickly turned and I realized that I need to get out more.

I am clearly nuts.

So I have mixed feelings on this product.

I did have a color change, there was no mess of streaks or blotching

... but the stench will sneak up and get you!

Disclosure: This product was purchased at my local drugstore.

Dior's Bronze Sun Powder Spray

It comes in 2 shades and it was created for the face only. I was impressed with the realistic tan it gives. I am a pale girl so most self tanners turn orange or dirty on me. This one gives a lovely sun kissed tan that actually lasts fairly well.

It might be worth the $60 price tag.

Available at Saks.
