Kick off Pre-Summer with a Self Tan and a Bronzer

Follow me on:

We're officially knee-deep in May, and it's finally starting to feel like summer is almost here. Well it's about time, right?! So to kick off the pre-summer season, let's get our pale white skin ready for shorts, bathing suits, tank tops and sandals by getting a real-looking fake tan. If you're not sure which self-tanner to get this year, then we've got you covered with our Top Self Tanner Splurges & Deals. One of my personal new faves is on the splurge side, but the fake tan looks like I just stepped off the plane from Tahiti. Beautisol Self Tanning Lotion is to-die for! I'm not kidding either. The smell is rather fruity, instead of a fake self-tanner smell, and the results are mind boggling! I've tried dozens of self-tanners over the years, and ladies let me just say that this one is the all-time winner. But don't just take my word for it, try it out for yourself! Oh, did I mention that it also has anti-aging properties to it as well? Double score!

So once you get your self-tan looking great, what about your face? There are very few really good face self-tanners on the market (besides the Beautisol Self Tanning Lotion for the Face), and sometimes self-tanning your face can be scary. So why not grab a great bronzer instead? Hold on tight because this is where the deal and freebie come into play. Right now through May 15th, on the Clinique Website they have their Almost Bronzer SPF15 (dual-sided bronzer) with a limited edition mini makeup bag for $29. The bonus is once you spend $30 or more you get a mini Super City Block SPF40, a mini Superbalm Lip Gloss in Grapefruit, and FREE standard shipping. Just make sure you use Promo Code SUMMER at checkout (Expired May 15, 2011). If you need an add-on to reach the $30 point, then allow us to suggest grabbing one of their re-vamped Chubby Sticks for $15. We loved these years ago, and the new ones are even better! But no matter what you pick, just celebrate the warm weather and get ready to kick off the pre-summer season with a great fake tanned/bronzed face and body.
