Per-fekt Skin

Per-fekt Body Perfecting Gel softens and diffuses skins imperfections giving the appearance of an even complexion. This gel glides on easily and blends well. I used it Saturday night and it was my first time. The thing I loved about it is that it hydrates your skin really making it feel soft and touchable. Its supposed to be good for disguising bruises, redness, dry patches, large pores and stretch marks. It is also water resistant and transfer resistant so you don't have to worry about it getting on your clothes. You can also build it up for more coverage; which is what I did so I was walking around Kamilah's house half naked Saturday for about 30 minutes to ensure that it was really dry - but I was just being super careful as to not get any on my dress, I am sure it dried way quicker than that LOL. Also, this stuff comes in different shades (Brilliant, Golden, and Exotic) so you can match your skin easily. It blends really well so you don't have to worry about getting an exact match but since my summer tan has already faded, I got the darkest shade so that I could look as though I had some color. I guess it worked because when my sis saw the pics from that night she was like "OMG you look so tan!" Mission accomplished: flawless sun-kissed skin. :)

Try it!

Time to Hit Up the Bar

It's August and maybe you haven't had the opportunity to get away and work on your perfect summer tan. Or maybe you are just smart and are avoiding the sun's harmful rays. Whatever the reason for your pastiness here is a solution: The Brazil Bronze Glow Bar. Its located in Soho at 580 Broadway and it is a great place to get a faux tan without breaking the bank. Sally Blenkey-Tchassova is the technician at this location and she is a pro. The tan is $60 and lasts about a week. You won't see results right away so if you are getting the tan for an event then I'd suggest scheduling the appointment the day before. For those faux tan virgins out there, yes you have to take off all of your clothes... lol. Sally is wonderful at putting you at ease and she will make conversation while she sprays as if the two of you were chatting over Sunday's brunch. There are spa underwear provided if you are at all uneasy about being fully nude though. After Sally is finished with your tan you have to stand in front of a fan for 10 minutes to dry off. That night I remember Kamilah and Alicia already noticing my tan to develop and by the next day I had a natural glow. I would recommend this to anyone who wants natural looking color - this tan was not orange at all! I would have preferred more of a Eva Longoria-esque deep dark spray tan, but Sally explained that unless you are going to keep it up and go every week to maintain it, a dark tan will only end up looking splotchy and ugly once it starts to fade.
For those of you who aren't interested in the faux tan, Brazil Glow Bar offers other services that may appeal to you. They offer airbrush makeup, eyelash extensions, cellulite annihilator and seaweed body wraps that is said to take inches off of your waist line!
