Bronzer:

Vincent Longo Hydro Stick

Reviewer:

Joyce Dulanas, HR

Gettin' Golden:

"Being a Filipino woman and having that darker skin tone, I love accentuating my skin color with bronzers. What I love about this bronzer especially is the sleek "no mess" packaging. I also adore its cool gel consistency, and how easily it just glides right onto my cheeks.

It's a bit peachy-toned, so I could totally see myself smothering this bronzer on my arms, legs, and chest for that sparkly, glow-y, "I just came back from the Greek Islands!" look. Plus, this bronzer just goes on so smoothly, the coverage is flawless - it almost feels like I’m putting on lotion!"

Her Other TANtalizing Picks:

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

"This product is magic! I can count on this elixir to keep my makeup on instead of sweating right off in the summer heat. And spritzing it on my face when I'm out in the hot sun makes a world of difference. "

Shiseido Brilliant Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning Gel

"This gives my vacation tan that extra punch with all its glittering sparkles. And unlike some tanning gels, Shiseido smells really, really good."

Korres Body Scrub
"Before applying anything, make sure to exfoliate with Korres Body Scrub! You'll be extra smooth and silky for when you apply Shiseido’s tanning gel. And the watermelon scent is perfect for summer!"

30 Days Of Bronzing: Bare Escentuals Faux Tan All-Over Face Color

Bronzer:

Bare Escentuals Faux Tan All-Over Face Color

Reviewer:

Gina Siu, Store Planning

She's Golden :

"I liked the texture of the powder and the shimmer was a nice touch, but this particular color had a bit too much red in it for my skin tone. I love how soft this powder felt on my face, though, so for my coloring, next time I'll opt for Bare Escentuals Blush in Fresh, which is a light, toasted caramel color.

Did I mention I fell in love with the brush? It was soft, and the brush's fan shape distributed the powder flawlessly on my skin. And I loved the subtle shimmer of the powder!"

Her Other TANtalizing Picks:

Clarins UV Plus SPF 40
"This lightweight sunscreen is a must-have for summer! I love it because it protects my skin from harmful rays without any greasy feel. "

Laura Mercier Mosaic Shimmer Bloc

"I love the slight amount of shimmer and the light coverage. Makes my face look fresh and glowing! "

Juicy Couture To Go

"I love the smell as well as the rollerball portability! I get compliments almost everyday."

Bronzer:

Sugar Tropic Tan Illuminating Liquid Bronzer

Reviewer:

Laurette Puhlmann, Merchandising

Golden Girl:

"I loved the scent - very tropical! Made me want to pack up for the day , put my sundress on and head to the beach!

It gave my body a sheer, golden tan color, and wasn't too shimmery, which I felt looked more natural. Extremely bendable and didn't stick to my skin, either. It stayed on all day and was water resistant and transfer-proof. It really didn't budge!

This packs in moisturizing benefits, and still manages to be non-greasy and fast-absorbing. Nice!”

Her Other TANtalizing Picks:

NARS Mini Monoi Body Glow II Set
"This is the scent of the Tiare flower, one of my favorite scents."

Laura Mercier Lip Stain in Mulberry

"The look of a stain, with the feel of a balm. I love this!"

Lorac Hot Flash

"Just the right amount of flash color to perk up a tan on your face! "

30 Days Of Bronzing: Make Up For Ever Mat Bronze

On your mark, get set, GOLD! We're bringing you 30 solid-gold days of bronzers, as reviewed by Sephora's own!

Bronzer:

Make Up For Ever Mat Bronze In #2 Medium Bronze

Reviewer:

Stacy Baker, Marketing

Goldie Fox:

"I love how lightweight the color is. It's just a slight dusting of color that looks completely natural, but gives enough color to completely hide imperfections.

I also test-drove the bronzer as a blush to brighten my cheeks and give a hint of definition.”

Her Other TANtalizing Picks:

POP Sparkle Sauce

"One drop on lids makes shadow water-resistant and amps up the color. Even better, once you apply, shadow doesn’t come off until you’re ready to take it off — hours and hours and hours later."

Kenzo Amour Indian Holi

"I’m completely obsessed with its slightly sweet, slightly spicy scent that instantly transports me on an exotic fantasy vacation (for a fraction of the price of airfare!). Not only that, it’s light enough for summer but still gets noticed."

Laura Mercier Stick Gloss in Cranberry.

"I have no idea what makes this lipstick tick — perhaps that’s why I can’t get enough of it. It glides on sheer like a balm, delivers a rich, vivid, long-lasting finish like a lip color, and melts into lips so it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all. It’s complex and simple, and I’m totally hooked. And the shade? It’s the perfect new red. "

30 Days Of Bronzing: Dior Bronze Sun Powder Spray

Bronzer:

Dior Bronze Sun Powder Spray

Reviewer:

May Li Pham, Merchandising

How She Got Her Glow:

"This is a spray-on application, and it takes a round of practice! My first application was a bit scary as I sprayed it too close to my face and didn't move my hand enough to spread it around. But it was easy to correct - I just used a powder brush to even out the product.

The second time, I got the application down great – sprayed it far away from my face and applied it evenly. The result was superb. I didn’t even feel like I was wearing any makeup. The girls in the office loved it – I looked like I came back from holiday!

This is perfect for the girl who wants an instant tan. And by the way? It's smudge-proof as soon as you put it on. Love that!"

Her Other TANtalizing Picks:

Sephora Beach Glow Melted Body Butter

"This is super-moisturizing. I love the texture, it is soooo soft. It smells delicious, and leaves a great finish on my skin."

NARS The Multiple In Orgasm

"It gives that perfect hint of pinky-peach on my face to make me look fresh."

Sephora Lush Flush

"It just gives that perfect flush."

Bronzer:
Laura Geller Baked Body Frosting In Honey Glow

Reviewer:
Tiffany Lei, Marketing

Gonna Glow:
"This bronzer feels great and goes on smoothly and evenly. I normally use a darker shade of bronzer to help contour under my cheeks and define my nose and chin (and sometimes to enhance my cleavage!), so the color of this bronzer was a little too light for contouring on my medium skin tone.

Still, it worked beautifully for highlighting. The shimmer adds a glow to my face that helps make me look less tired.

This formula is rich enough to be used as an all-over body bronzer, especially on legs, arms, shoulders and chest - I wore it everywhere and got a nice all-over glow."

Her Other TANtalizing Beauty Picks:

Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes
"I love this because I spend a lot of time in and around water. It glides on smoothly and really stays put. MUFE colors are really pigmented - I normally use navy or blue with green highlights because they brighten my eyes without being too outrageous."





Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer
“This is my secret 3-in-1 must-have item. Since I spend a lot of time in the sun and water, my skin gets dry. With this, I can moisturize, apply SPF and get light makeup coverage in one fell swoop. It’s perfect for touch-ups."











DDF Daily Cleanser Pads
"These are great for freshening up anywhere. I take these on the plane, to the beach, and on camping trips. It leaves my face feeling clean and prevents breakouts. Plus, I have sensitive skin and these are gentle enough for everyday use."

Rene Shepard, Merchandising

Go Go Glow:

"It gave me a luminescent, natural look. I didn’t have to use much to get this look, either. I applied it to my entire face, and even though I have oily skin, it stayed on all day.

Plus, although the compact is somewhat big, I love the hidden mirror!"



Lavanila Pure Vanilla Healthy Lip Butter
"This lip butter feeds the lips with 30 essential vitamins and minerals and has an SPF of 8. I use this first, then layer on my favorite lip gloss."

Michael Kors Leg Shine To Go
"Love Love Love! this product. It gives me a little bit of fragrance on my legs and has a hint of shimmer. Trust me - your legs will look great in mini-shorts."





Aquolina Pink Sugar Body Spritzer
"This is a great lighter version of the original scent. It will definitely remind you of going to the summer fair as a kid."

30 Days Of Bronzing: Tarte Bronzer In Park Avenue Princess

On your mark, get set, GOLD! We're bringing you 30 solid-gold days of bronzers, as reviewed by Sephora's own!
Bronzer:
Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer In Park Avenue Princess

Reviewer:

Artemis Patrick, Sephora.com

Gold Coast Gal:
"I love the texture and feel of this mineral-based powder. It definitely has a very 'golden' hue to it.

I’ve been using Park Avenue Princess, but if your skin already has some color, I’d suggest using Hotel Heiress, which has a deeper bronze shimmer to it. However, because of its pearly gold shade, you can also use the Park Avenue Princess as more of a highlighter around cheekbones and your nose, even if you are an olive-skinned girl.

I also used this as an eyeshadow for a slight, subtle glow around my eyes. I never looked overdone with this product, and it really left my skin glowing and bright!"


Cosmedicine Medi-Matte Oil Control Spray
"A fabulous spray that keeps my face from looking shiny all day long - and it actually reduces the appearance of pores! Comes in a 2-oz. size, so perfect for travel, too."





theBalm BalmShelter SPF 17 Tinted Gloss
"These glosses not only look pretty (and are yummy!), but also carry SPF 17 so I can protect my lips from the sun. "

Dior Diorshow Waterproof Mascara
"Curvy, long lashes that look like they belong on a runway - and waterproof, too. What more could a girl ask for?!"

Bronzer:
Sephora Luminous Trio Bronze

Reviewer:

Deana Rabbach, Beauty Insider

Giving In To The Glow:

"I like lighter bronzers because too much color can make a face look dirty. This bronzing powder from Sephora is very unique because you absolutely can’t overdue it. It’s light and subtle and gave my skin just the right amount of glow.

More than any other bronzer I tried, this one really lights up skin, too. You can use it all over your face and especially on your cheekbones to highlight and brighten your face.

I also used this as an eyeshadow for a slight, subtle glow around my eyes. I never looked overdone with this product, and it really left my skin glowing and bright!"


Lancome Flash Bronzer Medium Colour Oil-Free Tinted Self-Tanning Lotion for Face with Vitamin E
"I don’t tan my face anymore, but I look and feel better when my face has some color to it. I use this to get perfect, natural, sun-kissed skin. It isn’t oily, doesn’t clog my pores, and is super-easy to apply."

Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Defense Moisture Lotion - SPF 30
"It's important to always wear sunscreen and this one is lightweight and never leaves my face feeling oily or sticky after I apply it."




Dior Diorshow Waterproof Mascara
"On those hot summer days, it's important to keep your makeup in place and where it belongs, so I make sure I don’t leave the house without using Dior’s waterproof mascara. It won't budge once you put it on!"

Bronzer:
Sephora Sun Disk

Reviewer:

Kamyn Kong, HR

How She Got Gold:

"I loved the fact that it gave me some color, as if I got a little sun. Although for my skin tone, this color is too light to give me a super-deep bronze, it did give me light, subtle golden glow.

Application is really smooth - not too thick or cakey! It worked well over my face and neck area. It's a good pick if you don't want something too shimmery or over-done."


Peter Thomas Roth Ultra Lite Oil-Free Sunblock
"A must-have for protecting against UV rays, and great for oily skin."






Stila Lip Glaze in Mocha
"Gives my lips a shiny, natural look, and isn't too dark."







Dior DiorShow Mascara
"Can’t live without my mascara…for someone like me with thin lashes, Dior makes them look fuller."

Reviewer:

Kim Burrs, Marketing

Gold & Gorgeous:

"My new favorite must-have for summer is Korres Monoi Oil Bronzing Powder. It gives me the perfect sun-kissed no makeup makeup look.

The all natural formulation glides onto skin and blends perfectly. Plus, as I discovered, you can really layer this one on to get as deep of a bronze shade as you want."


Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo
"For when I don't have time to re-wash and style after the gym or pool!"








Sephora Waterproof Triple Action Mascara
"This and a bronzer are all I need for summer makeup, and it keeps my mascara where it should be: On my lashes not on my cheeks!"






Murad Perfecting Day Cream SPF 30
"My daily dose of SPF (and best beauty secret)! This absorbs completely into my skin, leaving it hydrated, soft, and protected."

30 Days Of Bronzing: Laura Mercier Cheek Duo in Coral Bronze

On your mark, get set, GOLD! We're bringing you 30 solid-gold days of bronzers, as reviewed by Sephora's own!


Bronzer:

Laura Mercier Cheek Duo in Coral Bronze

Reviewer:

Jessica Anderson, Marketing

Gold Coast Gal:

"My #1 life lesson as a redhead: Fake some skin tone, stat. Speaking as someone who’s definitely been around the bronzer block, I can say I truly heart this bronzer. It’s half bronzer, half blush, so it creates the perfect flushed hue when blended together. Sun-kissed with a gold sheen—not too wild and orange-y like a lot of great glow wannabes. It comes in a darker version too, Pink Bronze, so it can work with deeper skin tones as well."

Philosophy Falling In Love Fragrance
"I’m secretly convinced this perfume attracts boys. (Much like Philosophy’s pheromone spray, which has sadly been discontinued!) It’s a soft, flowery scent that doesn’t overdo the jasmine and vanilla like a lot of other florals."




Duwop Lip Venom
"Beware: This lip plumper is A-D-D-I-C-T-I-V-E. My best friend and I used to apply it religiously in high school, and I’ve sworn by it ever since. One you get used to the spicy, tingling sensation, it’s all poutiness from there."





Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Shampoo
"Cleanliness is next to godliness, buuuut sometimes you have to fake it. This oil-absorbing hair powder can seriously stretch your 'do for days—just don’t quote me, I’ll deny it."

30 Days Of Bronzing: Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Powder

On your mark, get set, GOLD! We're bringing you 30 solid-gold days of bronzers, as reviewed by Sephora's own!

Bronzer:

Guerlain Teracotta Bronzing Powder

Reviewer:

Dana Icaza, Marketing

Getcha Getcha Gold:

"Guerlain Teracotta Bronzing Powder has a creamy, smooth texture with an excellent smell – very floral. This is so luxurious – I want to douse my body in it!

The bronzer goes on very smoothly, but I opted for a few extra applications to really get a nice, dark color. Although it looked a little orange at first, the color faded to a beautiful golden tan by the time I was done with the rest of my makeup.

With other bronzers, sometimes when I rub my fingers on my face, I can see the bronzer come off on my fingers. Not with this one! And it still washed off more cleanly than other bronzers.

This is my new favorite! I’ve used it for a week straight and love it!"


Korres Yoghurt Cooling Gel
"I absolutely love the sun and summer. After a day at the beach, this is the perfect remedy to soothe and hydrate my skin. I would take a bath in it if I could - it has the best smell. Because it moisturizes, it keeps a tan going longer as well."




ck Calvin Klein Delicious Pout Flavored Lip Gloss
"These new lip glosses are excellent - they go on smoothly and have a subtle shimmer to them, perfectly complementing tan skin. They aren’t sticky and have a terrific grapefruit scent. Gold Frost especially is the best color when you’re already a little tan."




Frederic Fekkai Summer Hair Zero-Humidity Frizz Control
"Since I have naturally curly/wavy hair, and summers are so humid in NYC, this is a terrific product to give defined texture to my hair. In the summer, it's my alternative to my ghd Smoothing Balm For Hair Straightening. Even when I'm not at the beach, I have those beach waves."

Bronzer:

TheBalm Bahama Mama

Reviewer:

Jennifer Lucchese, Merchandising

Gonna Get Gold:

"The color of The Balm’s Bahama Mama is a wonderful deep tan – no orange! Plus it gives you this perfectly natural tan without the shimmer and glitter that can age you or make you look too done up!

The matte shade is also perfect for contouring under your chin (no double chin for me!) and across your cheek bones (thin face in a minute!). Plus, the fun, travel-friendly packaging is so cute you can’t resist it, and for only $18 this makes a great gift too!

I loved using this item with the TheBalm Mini Kabuki Brush or the Sephora Bronzing Brush. Beware of being too heavy-handed with this – just a few applications is all it takes."



Benefit Talk To The Tan
"Mix this with your foundation and tinted moisturizer, and you get that “lit from within” glow! Perfect for the days when you’re feeling a little pale or tired."






On10 Schweppes Sparkling Pink Grapefruit Lip Balm
"It’s SPF 15, made with totally natural and organic ingredients, and so cute! Perfect for taking to the beach to make sure that your lips don’t get burned or chapped."





Urban Decay Big Fatty Colored Mascara in Indigo
"Great mascara with the best color. And, did you know? Big Fatty is infused with hemp oil to keep your lashes moisturized all day ,too! The indigo color is just blue enough to brighten your eyes, and just purple enough to be different from any other mascara. I either tip my lashes with this or use all over for a fun look."

Bronzer:

Givenchy Tan To Go

Reviewer:

Jennifer Almonte, Marketing

Ready, Set, Gold:

"Givenchy Tan To Go was easy and fast to use. You shake the can for five seconds, hold the bottle about eight inches from your face, close your eyes, and spray in a circular motion. That’s it! No need to blend once it's sprayed - the coverage is flawless.

It feels like nothing is on your face and gives a bronze, matte finish. The scent is a light, pretty floral, too, plus there was no mess on my clothes, hair or on my sink. Most of all, I just love what a beautiful, natural-looking tan it gave me. I could sit in the sun for days and never get this color - beet red would be more like it!

Although the package doesn't say that this spray should be used after applying moisturizer and foundation, I found it was best to spray this on as the final step in my morning routine."

Caudalie Beauty Elixir

"What's not to love? It's a toner, a serum of essential oils and plant active ingredients, and a mood-booster all in one! It smooths, tightens, stimulates circulation, cools, and the scent puts me in a good mood. I can't get through summer without it."

Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips

"I have this product in every color. There's one on my desk, one in my purse, even one in the gym bag. The smooth, non-tacky formula and tingly, cooling sensation makes it so addictive, plus it's loaded with vitamins A and E."

Korres Guava Body Butter

"To me, summer means the beach and this deliciously scented body butter is the perfect smell of summer. Whenever I smooth this marvelously moisturizing cream on my body, I instantly relax and mentally wander off to a tropical island."

Bronzer:
Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Brush

Reviewer:
Kathy Rott, Sephora.com

Discovering Gold:
“First off, this won't make you look like an Oompa Loompa!

I have fair skin, so many bronzers are either too brown or too orange. This one is great because I applied just a little to get a nice glow, and then could build from there.

I thought this was especially nice for fair to medium skin tones, although you could get a more savage look by applying a heavier layer if you wanted a really serious glow!”


Her Other TANtalizing Beauty Picks:

Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 55
"This offers super protection - SPF 55!! - is weightless, and smells wonderful."








Sun Protection Compact Foundation SPF 34
"This is great if you already have makeup on, but need to apply sunscreen on top. It gives just a little bit of coverage, so you can layer it over what you're already wearing without smudging up your face. If you need to pop out of the house and don't have time for your full routine, this will still give you sunscreen and a smooth complexion in a hurry."



Bliss Super Slough Scrub
"This just smells like a luxe spa. It's not oily like a lot of scrubs can be, either. It's a wonderful "before" product to help prep skin for self-tanning, or just the first day out of the house in shorts!"

Reviewer:
Katherine Hyndman, Sephora.com

The Goldie Fox Review :
"I fell in love with Fresh’s High Noon Freshface Glow. Its gel-cream texture gives my combo skin the right amount of hydration. Plus, the subtle sheen gives me a healthy glow while evening out the redness in my cheeks.

This is a gym bag must-have because it makes my skin look perfect without looking overdone, and it even stays put through tough workouts without streaking, smearing, or fading. Especially nice for a noon-time workout that doesn’t destroy my makeup!"


Her Other TANtalizing Beauty Picks:

LipFusion Color Shine in Belle
“Gives my thin lips a plumping boost and has a sweet soft petal-pink glow.”




Caudalie Beauty Elixir
“I love the fresh, invigorating scent- it reminds me of the sauna at the Caudalie spa just outside of Milan, which I've been lucky enough to visit not once but twice!”



Bourjois Volume Clubbing Mascara
“This doesn't budge all day, but still washes off easily at the end of the night, and it's a rich, deep black that defines my dark brown eyes.”
