Want a Tan Like a Kardashian?

Well now you can have a tan just like one of the infamous Kardashian sisters. Yes, Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian Odom have come out with the very first product in their upcoming Kardashian™ Beauty line, and it is a self-tanner. Not just any self-tanner, it is their signature self-tanning gel called Kardashian™ Glamour Tan.

“My sisters and I are all about getting the perfect tan without harming our skin,” said Kim Kardashian. “We’re always on the lookout for the best self-tanner so we thought we’d create the perfect formula and share it with everyone.”

Glamour Tan is a self-tanning gel, that spreads very easily over and onto the skin. It is clear, which can be a challenge to apply, so startoff by applying it lightly and slowly.

The product is made to give you a sun-kissed tan within 24 hours of application, but I started to see color develop about six hours after my application. I applied it late in the afternoon and noticed some color on my legs before I went to bed. In the morning, I woke up with golden tan gams.

The formula is non-streaking and non-staining (the plus side of it being clear), and is packed with protective antioxidants, and vitamins C, E & D to keep skin healthy and moisturized. Also, Glamour Tan is the only self-tanner available containing Imudulin, which a key ingredient responsible for stimulating vitamin D synthesis, which can aid in lessening the look of lines and wrinkles. Who doesn't want that?

The gel is very light in texture has a light, fresh fragrance. I did not get a hint of self-tanner smell at all with this, and for that alone, this deserves high praise. The color I got from Glamour Tan is a very nice golden brown color, and like most self-tanners looks better after a few applications. I applied it three days in a row on my legs, which are now the perfect color I crave. The directions say to apply 2 -3 times a week to maintain, but I am thinking twice a week, or every four days will suit me just fine.

Glamour Tan retails for $34.00, which is for a large 6 oz. tube, and it is available now exclusively at Sephora stores and sephora.com.

The Slow and Steady Way to Self Tan from St. Tropez.

While sometimes I want to get my self-tan on in a few hours, unless I am perfect at applying, mistakes happen. Less often are mistakes from gradual tanners. Now, I am talking gradual in, building a natural looking self-tan in a few days - not a few weeks. After four days of using the new Gradual Self-Tanners from St. Tropez, I can clearly say that going slow and steady is the answer to a perfectly natural looking faux-tan, with no noticeable mistakes (or self-tanner smell!).

The St. Tropez Everyday Gradual Tanners are made to work like most gradual self-tanners, as you apply them daily, just like a moisturizer. What I especially like more about this line though, is that these self-tanners with the St. Tropez innovative Aromaguard™ fragrance technology that eliminates the tell-tale self tan aroma by a minimum of 70%.

The St. Tropez line of gradual tanners include:

• Everyday Body - $30.00 Available in Light/Medium or Medium/Dark
• Everyday Face - $25.00 Available in Light/Medium or Medium/Dark
• Everyday Mousse -$30.00 Available in one shade
• Everyday Spray - $35.00 Available in one shade
• Everyday Perfect Legs -$30.00 Available in one shade, but has an instant bronzer in it for an immediate glow 

All of the Everyday Gradual Self-Tanners are sold online at sttropeztan.com, Blue Mercury, BlueMercury.com, Sephora and Sephora.com and select luxury spas around the country, including Canyon Ranch (Tucson, AZ and Lenox, MA), Bacara Resort and Spa (Santa Barbara), Spa at The Crescent (Dallas, TX) and Kate Somerville (Los Angeles, CA).
