If you haven't checked out her blog, what are you waiting for?? Go!

With summer coming to a close keeping our amazing tan is top priority. Here are some of my favorite products to keep you glowing all year round!

I am utterly obsessed with self tanner. Bronze goddess without the damaging UV Rays? Sign me up! These three will give you that "I just got back from vacation in Tahiti" look without the orange-ness or yucky smell. 

Victorias Secret Self-Tanning Cooling Gel, Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs in "Tan", St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse

I love Victorias Secret's Cooling Gel because its virtually fool proof. I don't even use gloves for this one! Simply rub in the gel, which is a rich chocolate color, and wash off your hands VIGOROUSLY afterwards. That is, unless you like splotchy hands, haha! Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs is perfect for a quick touch up. I rub this on my calves before a girls night out and my legs look GREAT in pictures. Seriously. I sound narcissistic, but its the truth. Finally, theres my tried and true... St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse. You will definitely need a mitt or glove for this one but the results are SO realistic! Don't let the greenish color fool you, when you rub this mousse it... it works miracles.

Now, to keep that color you'll need to MOISTURIZE! I suggest Victorias Secret PINK Body Lotion in "Sunkissed". Isn't the name just perfect? <3 font="">

Besides that, this stuff smells amazing and helps keep your skin looking healthy.

Finally, a little SPARKLE never hurt anyone! I suggest rubbing LUSH's "Shimmy Shimmy" Solid Body Tint on your legs, forearms and shoulders for a little extra somethin'.

What will you miss most about Summer?

I love fraps! I like the Chocolate Cookie Crumble, Mocha Cookie Crumble, Java Chip, and Caramel frappuccino. 

Mmmmmmmmm

I have a HUGE sweet tooth (more like sweet teeth) I love anything sweet. 

6) What's one quote you live by?
"Everything happens for a reason." I truly believe everything happens for a reason- whether it's good or bad. People come into your life for all reasons. Bad things happen so you can grow from them and become a stronger person. 

7) What's one thing you like and dislike about the blogging community?
One thing I like about the blogging community is that I feel like I've built relationships with people who have the same interests as me. People who are just as freakin obsessed about lipstick, eyeshadow, nail polish, and clothes as I am. I love it. 
One thing I don't like is spam comments. They're so annoying!

8) What's your number one song on iTunes?
Today, it's "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus and "22" by T. Swift.

9) What kind of style would you describe yourself as having?

My style varies from day to day but I mainly like to dress "cute." Think dressy casual. If you check out Look Book board on my Pinterest or my pics on Instagram you will get an idea of what I typically wear. 

10) What's your favorite number?
3

11) Two hobbies?
Doing/buying makeup and going shopping. That's pretty much my life. :)

12) Two pet peeves?
I CANNOT STAND when people smack their food loudly with their mouths open. Oh. My. Goodness... Seriously, it absolutely disgusts me. lol 
I also can't stand when people drink bottled drinks with their lips wrapped around the entire opening, suck the drink out to the point where the plastic bottle sucks in, and when they release, the bottle pops out with a loud sound. UGH! (I know that was pretty specific but I've seen so many people do it lol)

13) Your guilty pleasure?
Lately, it's been Candy Crush on my iPhone.  

Earlier this week-
Brandon: "Will you not play that game today?..."
Me: "What game?"
Brandon: "Candy Crush."
Me: "Why?"
Brandon: "I just want to see if you can go a whole day without playing it."

You know you're obsessed when your boyfriend asks you to not play Candy Crush and pay more attention to him. lol

The Questions:
1) What drink do you order at Starbucks?
2) What's one thing in your closet you couldn't live without?

Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronze Universel- Bronzing Makeup Base

Hey, girl, HEYYYYYY! (like I haven't been MIA for the past few weeks... cough*)

So, I know I've been completely absent from blogging, but it's summer and I needed to get in some much-needed family time. Sorry lol. I've also been pretty busy with summer school too, so blogging has kind of been put on the back burner.

As some of you may know, (if you follow me on Instagram), I FINALLY bought the infamous Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronze Universel about a month ago. Everyone has heard of this or even owns it by now.

This is a cream bronzer that gives the skin a soft, radiant glow. It has a silky, velvety feel, glides on smoothly, and blends flawlessly.

The texture is very thin, but is pigmented. The coverage is buildable and NEVER cakes. I've even applied it over my set foundation and have found that it doesn't look splotchy. The way I prefer to apply it though, is to use it as a base for contouring, or as an all over bronzer to warm up my skin.

If you have super pale or dark skin, I don't think this would work for you. Sorry, girls. I feel like for the porcelain dolls out there, it might pull too much orange and for my darker girls, it won't show up at all. BUT, if you have a medium skin tone (similar to mine), this would be great! Really the only draw back is the price at $48. But, honestly, I feel like a fancy pants every time this guy comes out. It just breathes luxury!

Above are swatches of the bronzer slightly blended and not blended at all. The finish is also not matte, but more of a slight dewy finish. Overall, I LOVE this! I love how classy the packaging looks and feels, and the actual product is lovely. I hope you all enjoyed this review :)
Let me know if you've tried this OR what other products you like from Chanel.
