Lovely Natural Tan Without the Smell! (Using Kitchen Ingredients!)

I was browsing on VitalJuice and came across this post about a self tanner to use at home in your tub with ingredients found in your kitchen! All you need is black tea bags, boiling water, and a spray bottle!

See the post here.

"Required time: About 30-40 minutes



Skill level: Goof-proof
Ingredients:
4 black tea bags
2 cups boiling water
Sponge or spray bottle
Optional:
Body lotion
Pure cocoa powder


Instructions:
When water has boiled, add the tea bags to steep. Leave in for 10-15 minutes, or until tea is dark and cool enough to touch.
In the meantime, take a shower to ensure your skin is oil- and sweat-free. Afterwards, make sure skin is completely dry. Stand on something you don't mind getting dirty. If using a sponge, drench it in the tea and wipe all over your body. If using a spray bottle, fill it with tea and spray evenly. Let skin air-dry and apply another coat for a deeper shade. Tea will stain clothes if wet, so make sure you're all dry before dressing. The "tan" should last 3-4 days. Optional: For bonus color, mix cocoa powder into body lotion until you reach desired color and apply for an all-over bronzing boost."

Great idea, VitalJuice! Have you ever tried a homemade self tanner? What's your favorite way of tanning? Share your answers to these along with post suggestions in the comments!

Mini ULTA Haul!

Hi! Two posts in one day?! Can I get a hoot hoot? *person in the back feebly mumbles "hoot."* Haha. So, I went to ULTA at like 8 PM tonight just to browse, even though it closed at 9 haha. But, I actually bought a few things that I am extremely eager to try. I didn't buy many things, only three, so that's why this is a mini-haul. Let's get started!

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub in Brazilian Nut: I am obsessed with sugar scrubs right now! So far I have only made my own (if you want a recipe, let me know in the comments!), but I was eager to try some that a professional company had made. I started smelling these, and I first smelled the original shea body scrub, and it smelled delicious! Then, I moved on to the others, smelling each one. Then, I came across this one, and I was beside myself in how much I loved it! It was $6.99, and I had a 20% off coupon off of one item (http://search.ulta.com/nav/marketing/couponwk1564450s/0 valid until May 28!) So, it came out to $5.59 plus tax. I was ecstatic and I’m so excited to try it! Now I want a candle that smells like this!!

OPI Nail Polish in Steady as She Rose from the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection: My friend actually got this, and we’re going to share it. It’s a beautiful muted rose, and I think it would be perfected for toenails because I think toenails are always nice when they are more muted, and then you have nice pop of colors in your fingernails. So, I am super excited to use this on my toes tomorrow!

L’Oreal Paris Body Expertise Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gelée: I my quest to find the perfect streak-free self-tanner, I purchased this by recommendations from two people, as well as the ULTA girl. I have tried so far four different self-tanners, and they all left a streaky appearance, and were terrible for me! So, I am super excited to use this as well! (Haha, I feel like I ended each of these product descriptions with “I am so excited blah blah blah haha”

Have you tried any of these products? Please let me know about your experience with them in the comments! Since this is my first-ever haul, the first three people to comment it, I will promote your blog in a separate blog. P.S. I changed the font and color! You like?
