REVIEW:  I have been wanting to try the Epistick for quite awhile now. I have upper lip hair and blonde hairs on my face so I was looking for an alternative to waxing.I decided to do some research on the epistick and read reviews on it. A lot of users recommended it saying that it's fast, painless, and works well. So I thought what do I have to lose. I decided to go on ebay and found five for $3.29 with shipping included. It took about 14 days before I received the product. I must say the first time using it, it hurt. My face was also red. I would definitely recommend using it after taking a shower. Despite the redness and pain from using it for the first time, I would highly recommend it and will continue to use it.

INGREDIENTS: 

• Hawaiian Kukui Nut Oil – This potent Hawaiian “secret” bronzes all skin tones quickly.  It is also excellent for the skin as it moisturizes while you tan.  In fact, since it is a skin-healer, many use it for dry skin and psoriasis.
• Kona Coffee Extract – The natural acids in the coffee soften the skin and revitalize circulation.
• Soothing, Moisture-Rich Mix – Boot Butter is super moisturizing, combining Aloe which soothes and nourishes the skin, along with Macadamia Nut Oil and Light Mineral Oil so your body glistens with moisture.
• Antioxidant Vitamins A, C and E – Vitamin A helps form new blood vessels, which give the skin an attractive, rosy glow; Vitamin C fends against damage caused by the sun; Vitamin E protects the epidermis from early stages of ultraviolet light damage and reduces the severity of sunburn.

REVIEW:  Last week I received a 1 oz sample of Bikini Kitchen Booty Butter Tanning lotion from a promotion I won on facebook. I wanted to share my thoughts with you. :)

• A little goes a long way
• Absorbs quickly leaving your skin soft
• Allowed for a deeper bronzed tan
• Contains natural ingredients
• Good for all skin tones 
• Very moisturizing
• Very smooth application with no streaking or discoloration
• Water resistant
• Works great with a normal lotion with spf

• The lotion was quite greasy. I was a tad fearful of rubbing up against something and the "bronze" color rubbing off or staining my clothes. The plus side of the greasiness is that my skin still felt moisturized even after my shower!
• Took longer than an hour to see results. 

•  Water resistant for you bathing beauties! 
• A Great Bug Repellent so no bugs bite your booty!! 
• Absolutely NO animal testing

RETAIL: 1 oz sample $6.95, $24.95 for 8 fl oz,  and can be purchased here

REVIEW: I was very anxious to try this self tanner out so as soon as I received it I tried it out that night. I made sure I exfoliated very well before spraying the self tanner.  The self tanner itself, is a golden caramel color. It absorbs quickly with a light golden color guide. A little goes a long way with this spray. It is a tad bit greasy but nothing that would discontinue me from using. Also I personally don't care for the chemical scent. A big plus is the drying time. This product doesn't take long to dry and you can get dressed and go about your daily or nightly routine. Overall, I really do like the self tanner and could deal with the scent. It gives a great golden tan the next day after washing off which I really love. The tan will last you anywhere from 5-7 days.
