Self Tanners, My Favorites & Save 10% Off! (Review: Sun Goddess Self Tanning Lotion)

Hey everyone,
I am super super super excited to finally be doing this post! I've been waiting a while to test the product first before I put my thoughts in about it. Now, before I begin I want to make a quick disclaimer saying that this product was sent to me by the company. But, I was not forced to make a post about it, or advertise it. All the opinions below are my own, and are not affected by the company. Keep on reading to see how you can save 10% off your order!

Okay, so I know that summer is almost over and that tan that you worked so hard for by laying outside is starting to fade away. Every girl (or guy) wants that sexy, healthy, "sun-kissed" glow year round. Tanning beds are so bad for your skin it probably should be illegal. Tanning in tanning beds put harmful UV rays directly to your skin that can cause major health problems such as skin cancer. Click here if you want to learn more about tanning, and the effects it can cause to your health. I am not a professional or an expert in any way, shape or form, but I have been using self-tanning products for about a year. I don't use them so often, only when I want a nice glow to my skin for a special event or something along those lines. The one's I have used in the past and like include Banana Boat Summer Color Self Tanning Lotion Deep/Dark Color $7.49, St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse $40.00 and Jergens Natural Glow & Protect Daily Moisturizer Medium/Tan $7.99
These are ones that can be found at stores such as Ulta or Sephora (see links for details).

The one I have been absolutely loving lately is the Sun Goddess Self Tanning Lotion. Here are the claims:

In my opinion, this is an absolutely amazing self tanner. Not only does it give me a nice natural color, but it doesn't have a horrible smell, it lasts long, and it doesn't end up on my favorite clothes, or bedding. That's because it's incredibly quick drying. I would say if you're more experienced with using self tanner then this will easily become a favorite of yours, but if you're someone who isn't so familiar with it, then I would still definitely purchase this product but possibly mix it with some gradual tanning lotion or regular lotion to make the application easier for you.

The product comes out more like a liquid with glitter and shimmer in it (an amazingly cute bonus!). The packaging is also really cute, it's hard to tell in the pictures below but the bottle actually has sparkles on it! I'm a huge glitter/sparkle fan so this was a real nice bonus for me!

I would have to say another reason why this is such an amazing product would be because of the company. They do not test on animals, and the shipping was fast and the service was absolutely amazing.  Also, they are so nice to provide gloves to those using their product (attached to the bottle in a cute pink little bag!) Provided along side with any purchase of this self tanner are samples! I received 10! I gave one to one of my best friends because she told me she envied the tan that I had and I had to let her try this product out!

You get a nicely sized bottle (8 oz.) for $38.95. This amazing self tanner is slightly cheaper than the St. Tropez self bronzing mousse. Yet they both have that fast-drying property to them. Being fast drying, you can easily wear your clothes after (although they recommend waiting 3 hours prior to showering, swimming, or wearing any nice clothing). I would defiantly chose this one over St. Tropez at the moment because it is just really nourishing and luxurious to my skin and I feel like this one is better than all the other self tanner's I've used in the past. If you want an amazing, not super expensive self tanner, this one is definitely the one to get.

APPLICATION
The application of this product is very easy. All you need to do is exfoliate (to remove dead skin cells for a longer, more even tan) , apply moisturizer to any super dry areas (toes, knees, elbows, ankles...etc.), and apply this product. Like I said earlier, if you're not so familiar with applying self-tanne, then I would mix this maybe with a gradual self tanner, or a plain old moisturizer. Tanner>Moisturizer ratio though. If you are a professional at applying self tanner and getting it to cover your body without missing a spot and streaking before the dry time has come, then this will be a breeze for you. I apply it in circular motions because I feel like it doesn't get streaks. Also, when applying, use the gloves provided. This will prevent discoloration to the palms of your hands. They are so nice to provide this!

The tan is claimed to last you up to 10 days. I think it depends on however much you apply. Obviously the more you apply or the more times you do, it will last you a long time. However, if you apply just a little, and don't reapply, then it'll last you maybe a couple days and during those days, gradually fade away.
