Sun Laboratories Sunless Tanner

Hey everyone! Today's post is going to be an extended review of Sun Labs tanning set. I really enjoyed having the chance to review the products, and I want to make sure I express how much I loved them!

Basically, the set I was sent contained three items: exfoliator, tanning lotion, and moisturizer. Together, these products help make your fake tan look as natural as possible. The exfoliator is so important because it will create an even surface for the tanner to go smoothly onto.

Once you have exfoliated, you can apply the self tanner. It may look dark and scary at first, but once rubbed nicely into your skin, this product will blow your mind! First I applied to my arms, and then just went up my body until I got to my face. Don't worry about your hands getting streaky because as long as you wash your hands after each section you won't look like an orange!

Since the tanner is slightly tinted, it was easy to realize if I missed a spot as I applied it. That is the best thing about the tanner: Being able to spot a mistake before it is too late! As long as your fix any spots you missed, your tan won't look streaky.

After you tan, you can go to sleep! When you wake up the next morning, you can use the maintainer to help lengthen the tan.

This set worked wonders for me, so I hope you click the links below to find out for yourself.

Yuna's Closet - An Affordable Clothing Shop

Today I am going to introduce you to a company called Yuna's Closet. If you are a Forever 21 fan, then you will adore Yuna's Closet. It may not be as popular yet, but believe me this company is going places! Providing it's shoppers with Japanese and Korean inspired clothing, Yuna's closet is not only affordable, but also trendy.

The clothes on the site are extremely chic. I think anyone who likes to be on top of the trends will love Yuna's closet. They sell the most amazing dresses, pants, skirts, and shirts for outstanding prices. Alot of shoppers today look for a company that will provide them with up to date fashion at affordable prices, and Yuna's Closet does just that.

They are also working on expanding their jewelry collection for all of us eager buyers! I think they are doing a great job of picking accessories that will interest most shoppers.

It is very simple to pick out the correct size for yourself on Yuna's Closet. All you have to do is chose the same size you would in Forever 21. For instance, I am a small in tops in both Yuna's Closet and Forever 21. I know, for sure, that the sizes do correspond because I was sent a few pieces from Yuna's Closet, and they all fit me great!

I hope you ladies enjoyed my review. I really encourage you to check out the site, because; like I said, I think this company is going to be a huge success some day! You can help it get there.

Lohmans Haul

Hey everyone! Today I have a small Lohmans haul for you. Lohmans is a store, like TJ-Max, that sells name brand clothing for half the price. I picked up three things that I want to show you guys!

1. DKNY Shirt



This shirt is awesome! I love the cinching at the bottom, and it fits me perfectly. I like that this can be a winter or summer shirt.

2. Free People Tunic





Isn't this adorable? The detailing on the tunic is fabulous. When I wear it, I feel like such a princess. Wow, I love it!

3. Black Bandeau




This was only $6, so I wanted to pick it up! I can wear this black bandeau under almost anything that I want, and since it is padded I couldn't resist.

I hope you enjoyed my small haul.

Bandeaus!

Hello loves! Today I am going to talk all about bandeaus. If you don't know what these amazing inventions are then I will teach you all about them.

Bandeaus basically serve as undershirts or camis, but are only about half the material! They cover your goodies, so that you can just throw one on when you wear a revealing shirt. They cover up everything without looking boring! The bandeaus come in so many different patterns and colors. I have two from Hollister, and they are lacy!

Here is a picture of the two I have:

Aren't they adorable? I got mine on sale for only $3!

Another advantage of bandeaus is the fact that you don't need to wear a bra with them! Since most of them are padded, you can avoid the trouble of a strapless bra. I hate wearing strapless bras because I always feel like I am gonna fall right out of them, but with bandeaus you can eliminate the bra and the cami with just one piece of fabric! Just for that simple reason the bandeaus are worth it!


Where Can I Buy Them?

There are a few places I know of that sell them, but I am sure you can find them almost anywhere! If you want cheap ones then you can go to Aeropostale. The ones they sell there are not padded, so they are harder to pull of because you need a bra under them. I think if the bandeau isn't padded then it is pointless because the whole point of them is to not wear a bra! But, at Aeropostale they are $2. The next place you can buy them is Hollister. They will probably still be selling them on sale for $3, so go get your hands on a few before they are all sold out! I love the two I have from there, and they are perfectly padded. Lastly, I know they sell really nice ones at Victorias Secret. These are a bit more expensive, but they are padded, so they are well worth it! I think they are 2 for $20.

I hope you guys enjoyed this! Please comment below and then me what you think of the new bandeau trend.

Renovating Room: Day 2

Today has been a tiring, but rewarding day! One of my best friends, Kate, came over at around 1 to help me paint my entire room. So, my sisters and I, along with Kate, began to paint my whole room. It took so long, but I think it turned out great. The color is fabulous. It is like a dark lavender. Here are a few pictures of us painting.






Then after the paint was all dry, I took all the tape of the walls. This didn't take too long, but it was just annoying! Once the tape was off, the fun stuff started :) We moved everything back into my room and rearranged the whole place. I love the way my room is setup; I have so much more room.

The only thing left to do is hang stuff on the walls. That will be done this Tuesday, so the room tour will be up on Wednesday like I promised! Talk to you all then.
