Vita Liberata Has A NEW Formula- This Is How I Rocked It!

Image
**Press Sample** Vita Liberata has revisited their pHenomenal formula and made an even better version! I actually had the chance to try both versions out and I'm going to let you know what I found. The first noticeable difference is the packaging. Vita Liberata is my preferred self-tanning brand. It dries without being sticky, it actually has a pleasant smell and it lasts the longest without the strange streaking you get when the tan wears off. The big draw for the pHenomenal line is that it lasts for up to 3 weeks. The original formula does have a longer lasting color. I have not had it last the full 3 weeks but 2 and a half is about as long as I can go without having to reapply. The color does fade really nicely and is not harsh. What I usually do is take a shower, exfoliate my whole body and then apply pHenomenal . I squirt a couple pumps on my glove and then apply in circular motions. Personally, I apply from top to bottom so I don't miss any spots. I let it ...

Jergens Instant Sun- How Does it Match Up?

Image
**Press Sample** As you know, I have had a lot of different self-tanning products on my blog. I have such sensitive skin that I just enjoy a good self-tan as opposed to the real sun. Trust me, it's very hard to get a great self-tanner. They are either too fake looking, take too long to dry or they are too expensive. When I was given an opportunity to try out Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun ,  that I use a lot of, I was excited! Jergens is a great brand name that is available at most drugstores. I happen to love drugstore brands just because I can pick them up when I am picking up other "necessitates". This is available in 2 shades; Light Bronze and Deep Bronze. The big claim with this product is that it dries in less then 60 seconds and mimics the natural sun. I have used this about 4 times to really get a sense of how it applies and then how it wears. You should always exfoliate before applying a self tanner so you know you have a nice even surface to wor...

Vita Liberata Dry Oil- Another Perfect Prep for Summer

Image
**Press Sample** I am so excited to show you a **new** product from Vita Liberata . I am in love with this brand for all of my out-of-the-sun tanning needs. I am supppper pale, so laying out in the sun to soak up the rays is just not an option for me. Vita Liberata offers a huge array of products to help me have a little color in the summer without risking my skin.  So this product, Self Tan Dry Oil SPF 50 , is just awesome for me. I just rub a little bit on with a glove and let it soak in. It's best to exfoliate before this process but don't forget to skip the moisturizer. You want this to be able to soak in for at least an hour before you wash or anything if you are using the self-tanning effects. You want to apply this in long stroking movements at least 2 hours before soaking up the rays and reapply every 2 hours. This is totally buildable and the SPF... I mean I don't have to look like a florescent person on the beach now. I can have color all while protec...

I'm Getting Ready for Warm Weather with Some Help From Vita Liberata

Image
**Press Samples**  So..... I am getting so excited for the warm weather coming my way BUT it's slowly coming. When the summer finally comes, I can't just sit and bask in the sun either. I have such pale skin that I burn and then tan. Burning is never good so I slather on that sunscreen. By the time the end of the summer comes, I finally have some color but not as much as I would like. I am an Italian and Irish mix but I got the Irish skin. Burn, baby burn.   Vita Liberata has really given me the opportunity to bring me back to my Italian roots and give me that nice golden Italian skin I should have. I mean the rest of my 5 siblings have nice dark skin....I am the only pale Irish baby :(. Anyway.... enough sulking about my easily burned skin. Vita Liberata has been giving me solutions to this problem for the last year.  Body Blur is the newest product on the Vita Liberata line and it is so multi-use, I am excited to move this right on up to my personal ...

Vita Liberata 2-3 Week Tan and a Little Present!!

Image
**Press Sample** Hello all!! I have a great transition product to show everyone today. The weather is starting to cool down, well at least out here it's starting to cool down. Everyone is starting back at school so that means Fall is inevitably coming. That means our natural sun kissed tan is slowly fading. I was recently sent the Vita Liberata 2-3 Week Tan to try out and let me tell you, this is an awesome product. So, I used 2 applications of it to get the best application. This is in the shade Medium and for me, since it's summer, I'm a little darker so two applications of this was needed.   I had a beautiful golden tan that actually lasted about 2 weeks for me. I work out every day so my constant sweating had a lot to do with the wear of this product so I am sure those of you who are not as active will have better wear. The best part about this product is it fades perfectly. There was no patchiness or gross streaking you get with this. It just fade...

**Product Review** Today, I have a great product just in time for summer and it's BRAND NEW!! Vita Liberata is a line of  luxury self- tanning product. This brand is Irish based and was the first non-toxic tanning brand on the market. Vita Liverata also coined the pHenominal tan which lasts 2-3 weeks! That's 4 times longer than usual! This is fun because it is a mask that you wear while you sleep and then wash off with your morning cleansing routine. It tans and moisturizes for you, too! ALSO...
