What They Say: "Create an all over sun-kissed glō with our New glōBody bronzer. This luxurious lotion can be used on all skin types to create a subtle, immediate, all over tan or enhance your own natural tan while giving just a hint of beautiful shimmer."

Jen's Experience: I was really looking forward to going for the pale look this winter, but then this bronzer came along. I've been testing it out on my exposed arms and legs to give my skin a little spark of glow when I go to work.

As far as the color goes for this bronzer, it's not at all orange-y, but it has enough red in it that I think it looks a little off in natural light. In more dim places, or even under the dreaded fluorescent lights at work, the color looks pretty good. It's not opaque, and it's also subtle enough so that if you're naturally very pale like me, you can still use it.

Some tips for application:

• I found that it was a lot easier to get the color blended well when I am well-moisturized. I apply a body moisturizer when I get out of the shower, let it absorb a little while I eat my breakfast, and then apply the bronzer on top.
  
• Avoid the knee area. It looks very artificial.
  
• Finally, work with a small amount at a time. This product really glistens, and with too thick a layer, it's easy to look like you're auditioning for the stage production of Goldfinger if you're too heavy handed. (I use one pump for each of my arms, and two pumps for each of my lower legs, if you need some guidelines to start with.)
  

Finally, the scent brings to mind suntan oil and days on the beach, which makes it a little out of season for the Fall months. I find that wearing a muskier perfume, like Prada, is a good blend for the scent.
