It all happened so quickly.  One day, I'm wearing my winter coat to work and the next I'm wearing sleeveless sweaters.  Maybe I should have been going to the tanning bed or using some sunless tanning products, but I really was left unprepared and very, very pale.  So what's a girl to do?

Here's an option.  Well, something that will help pale skin out just a little bit.  Nars Body Glow is a liquid bronzer that temporarily gives your skin a little color and a little sparkle.  You apply it just like you would a moisturizer, making sure to keep it pretty even.  You can apply more than one layer if you want it a little darker.  It takes a little while to dry, so you may want to do this well before you put on your clothes for the evening.

What They Say: "A unique blend of Monoi de Tahiti oil combined with a rich chocolate shimmer for glowing, healthy and naturally fragrant skin. Native to the South Pacific, Monoi de Tahiti oil is composed of pure coconut extract macerated with the bud of the tiare flower, infusing the oil with nutrients as well as a delicate, natural fragrance. The ultimate multi-purpose beauty oil soothes and moisturizes the skin with an addition of rich chocolate shimmer for a natural glow. The lightweight, sheer oil is absorbed immediately on the skin."

Jen's Opinion:  I definitely get some use out of this product on spring nights when I'm just starting to wear spaghetti straps again.  I love the way it smells, very summery and I love the way it gives a nice warm shimmer to my skin that really lasts unlike a lot of powders.  On the other hand, it's very messy to apply and it takes a really long time to dry for me.  If you apply too much, it will collect in places like the fold of your elbow.  Once you learn to apply it correctly, it works great and, for me, is an essential for spring and summer.
