I'm Glowing


No, I'm not knocked up. I discovered this:

Neutrogena Micro Mist Tanning Sunless Spray

To be honest, I didn't have high expectations for this stuff. My past experiences with sunless tanners have not been great. They're either too orange, too streaky or too smelly. The last thing I need is to turn myself Oompaloompa Orange. But I was desperate. Despite the fact that it's been about 95 degrees every day since June, I haven't seen the sun in quite some time. Working for a living is such crap. It really interferes with my tanning time.

This is a pretty good substitute for a few hours in the sun. First of all, it's dirt cheap! I picked this up for about $9 at Target. That's 1/3 of the cost of one spray tan. Not a bad deal! The color is perfect - it's not a dramatic difference, but it definitely gives you a nice warm glow. And it's not Oompaloompa Orange! The application is so easy - it sprays out in a fine mist and you don't even have to rub it in. It dries in about five minutes. And best of all, no tell-tale streaking. It always cracks me up when you see girls with streaky orange ankles and elbows because they didn't rub in their self tanning lotion. Don't they know that looks so much worse than being pale! My only complaint is that it does have a bit of that "fake tan" smell, but it seemed to fade and I didn't notice it after a while.

If you're looking for a sun kissed glow in a hurry and on a buget, I highly recommend Neutrogena Micro Mist.

Infomercial over.

I will be purchasing this today on my lunch break. A lady at work asked me if I was feeling ok because I was looking a little pale. FML!

Norm introduced me to this last year and I used it all last summer. I will warn you ... spray it in the bathtub or shower. After 3 weeks atop white bathroom mats ... the color starts to show up. And no, it DOESN'T wash out.
