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

Vita Liberata Trystal Pressed Self Tanning Bronzing Minerals - $45 - a super clever bronzer/self-tanner combo in a unique pressed powder form that works on all skin tones and can be used to contour, sculpt or provide all-over glow on the face and/or body.

It offers instant bronzing with oil-free micronized crystals along with long-lasting, self-tan results thanks to Trystal3 Technology that leaves skin with a beautiful, natural-looking medium tan that lasts for days and added DHA for a subtle glow to leave you with soft, smooth, healthy-looking skin. 

It should be your next step after applying moisturizer or liquid foundation, the unique formula interacts with them to subtly tan the skin, allowing lasting colour to gradually build - blend the powder onto the face, neck and décolleté in sweeping movements. Use more around the cheekbones to achieve a contouring effect or, for a deeper tan result, apply more product to your face. The subtle tan effect will last 3-7 days and you can decide whether to reapply based on your face colour after evening cleansing. On my fair skin I'm finding that using it every other day is often enough - I just apply really lightly to my cheeks, chin, nose and forehead to keep that summer sunkissed look going!

Available at Sephora and sephora.ca.

Vita Liberata Ten Minute Tan

Vita Liberata Ten Minute Tan - 150ml - $49 - delivers a perfect, natural-looking, golden tan in as little as four hours with absolutely no risk of transfer. 

The advanced organic technology uses Matrixyl 3000 Peptide Complex to plump and condition the look of skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and supporting natural collagen production; while vitamin C from neroli and omega oils from rosehip further lock in moisture for rich hydration and the look of smoother, more radiant skin. 

There are a couple of things I really love about this product:

No big time commitment - it just stays on for 10 minutes and then washes off - and best of all, no stinky self-tanner smell - it has an organic formula that uses proprietary patented Odour Remove technology so there is none of the usual self-tan stench.

It's super easy to use:

1. Just apply the silky smooth lotion into clean, exfoliated skin for a deeply hydrating skincare treatment;

2. Wait ten minutes for the tan to develop and enjoy the collagen boosting body treatment you get at the same time;

3. Now hop in the shower and rinse the lotion off using water for skin that instantly feels smooth and soft;

4. Get ready to glow - over the next 4-6 hours your tan will gradually develop - apply in the morning and you'll be all-a-glow by late afternoon!

Available now at Sephora and sephora.ca as well as other  select retailers across Canada.

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.
