This week I'm obsessed with... Vita Liberata Trystal Self Tanning Bronzing Minerals!

Vita Liberata Trystal Self Tanning Bronzing Minerals - $68 - an oil-free, lightweight, loose mineral bronzing powder that combines an instant pure mineral bronze colour with a long lasting self tanner to create a tan that lasts up to five days - it even comes with a mini luxury kabuki brush for an easy, perfectly-blended, flawless application.

The natural bronzed effect suits all skintones and can be used to contour or provide allover glow. The tan deepens over a four-to-eight hour period and lasts up to five days.

I don't normally bother much with bronzer because I have such a hard time finding a shade that isn't too dark or orange and even when I find a good shade, my skin seems to just love bronzer and eats it up in a couple of hours! So I love the self-tanning aspect of this one. It is a fairly dark shade if you have pale skin so use it with a light hand - by the time my skin has gobbled the bronzer up, the colour that has developed underneath is really quite perfect - and because I prefer a light, healthy glow I only need to apply the bronzer every few days. If you wanted a deeper tan apply the bronzer everyday until you achieve the shade you want and then every few days to maintain it.

Available now at Sephora and sephora.ca.

L'Oréal Infallible 2-Step Nail Polish - with swatches!

L'Oréal Infallible 2-Step Nail Polish - $10.99 - in 12 shades: Iconic Indigo, Timeless Taupe, Eternal Grey, Irresistible Bonbon, Infinite Ocean, Keep Magenta, Red Infallible, Forever Mink, Orange Extreme, Petale Revival, Fuchsia For Life, Always A Lady - a hybrid gel-lacquer with a matching tinted top coat that together delivers up to 12 days of colour and shine with a silicon and flex-resin formula that optimizes wear and resists chipping.

I don't love the packaging, it's kind of bulky - but unlike other double sided polishes that have been on the market this one comes apart so you can actually detach the polishes from the holder which helps them take up a lot less space!

Always A Lady
