Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Tanning Mousse | Review

I’m back with a new video this week! This time, a full review on the Jergens Natural Glow Instant Sun Tanning Mousse!

I’m someone who tans very easily, so I’ve never had to really use a self-tanner before. However, with more cloudy and rainy days in Montana, I’ve had little to no color on me!

I decided to change that and try out a true self-tanner for the first time. I liked that this one by Jergins is affordable and easy to use. As for the smell, it wasn’t bad!

I put it on at night before bed for two days straight. Of course, I shaved and exfoliated by skin beforehand to make sure the color would go on evenly.

This is where I feel like video reviews are better than article reviews, so you can actually SEE the change and result. My YouTube review is at the bottom of this blog post.

Overall, I enjoyed this self-tanner and will definitely be using it again! I’m even considering applying a third coat, but I’m going to try and wait until it’s warmer out, so I can show off my glow!

Best Sellers | April 19 – 25

Last week’s favorites had an Amazon theme! Everything but the Good American jeans are from Amazon. The jumpsuit is soft as ever and so comfy! The ring is a top fave Amazon purchase – it’s held up, none of the stones have fallen out and it doesn’t

Best Sellers | April 12 – 18

Normally, by the weekend, you’ll see a Best Sellers post along with this week’s YouTube video. Unfortunately, I did not feel well this weekend after getting the COVID-19 vaccine on Friday.

A nurse told me to alternate between Tylenol and Ibuprofen after getting the vaccine, which I did! I felt mostly fine on Friday, but it hit me hard Saturday (when I usually shoot my YouTube videos).

I experienced body aches and headaches, which came in waves. So, when I felt fine after the first round of Tylenol kicked in earlier in the day, I felt sick again later in the day. It was mostly on and off, but mostly on.

So, I apologize for the lack in video this week! Things will be back to be normal next weekend!

Sephora Sale! | Spring Savings ends April 19

Looking to get some new makeup? Now’s the time to shop at Sephora for MORE than one item.

Makeup can be so pricey, I can hardly every buy more than one product at a time if we’re talking foundation and powders. However, now that there’s reason shop AND save, I thought I’d share my top picks with you!

The Sephora Sale is officially open to everyone. This sale is typically broken into tiers (similar to how Nordstrom did their anniversary sale last year), with VIB Rouge members shopping first, then VIBs, then Insiders.

Each member can get a different percentage off, depending on which bracket they fall into.

I haven’t shopped at Sephora much, so I have the status of Insider and can only get 10% off.

You can shop this sale in stores or online with code: OMGSPRING

While looking at the cart I just filled up online, I realize it’s a lot of basics and one skincare item.

I’ve definitely been through a phase where I wanted to try EVERYTHING and ALL the hottest skincare products, but I’m at a point in my life now where I know what works for me and I know what I like, makeup-wise.

I also like to use sales like these for pricer products, so I can save on them.

Here’s what I picked out from the sale:

IT Cosmetics – Your Skin But Better Foundation – It’s not full coverage, but good for everyday wear. For full coverage, I like Estee Lauder’s Double Wear Foundation – it’s been my all-time favorite foundation. I wear the shade Tawny in this one.

For face powder, I’m pretty simple – I’ve used Mac Mineralized Skin Finish, Laura Mercier Translucent powder, and more recently, Charlotte Tillbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder. They all seem the same to me, and I have seen nothing amazing about either one. Let me know if you have a must-have powder product.

I added the Kat Von D Tattoo Eyeliner to my cart. Ever since I first tried this out, I never went back to pencil eyeliner again. It’s amazing and makes me feel good about putting eyeliner on because it goes on smoothly!

I added the Tarte Toasted Eyeshadow Palette because I feel like eyeshadow palettes can be pricey, so save now. I like the colors in this palette with the reds and browns. I think these colors give a pretty neutral look, with depth.

Nars blush will always be my favorite. Not only does the color last long, but the product lasts long as well. I’ve tried colors in Orgasm and Deep Throat, and love them both. Right now, I’m wanting to try the color, Sin.

Can’t forget about bronzer! I added the Hoola Matte Bronzer from Benefit. I’m not too picky about bronzer, but I really like this one!

For skincare, I really like these Extra Strength Alpha Daily Peels by Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare. These are so expensive, so try to get them on sale when you can!

Clinique’s Take the Day Off Cleansing Balm – I LOVE cleansing balms, so I definitely recommend getting one. It’s amazing at taking off makeup and makes it easy to double cleanse. For more on double cleansing, check out my blog post here.

Lastly, I’d list the Dyson Supersonic Hairdryer or Airwrap, but they’re already out of stock! That’s what I don’t like about tiered sales – the hot ticket items sell out way before the general public has access to the sale. I have the hairdryer, and I definitely recommend! It’s quieter than a normal hairdryer and dries my hair really fast – worth it!

Those are my pics from the Sephora Sale! I hope you found my list helpful! Overall, I never go too crazy over this sale, I just stick to basics!

Sunroom Makeover!

Our sunroom has been a work in progress since we moved into our home in Montana, and now I can finally share an update on it!

We added two outdoor rugs, brought our two-seat patio set inside, and added a new wooden storage bench from Wayfair.

Did you see my last post on our faux-plant arrangement? I think it really ties the room together and just adds a nice touch to everything.

We weren’t planning to have two outdoor rugs in our sunroom, but the smaller one was the one I bought first, thinking it was the size we needed. Instead of returning it, we just added it between the doors to catch any leaves the dogs bring in when they run in and outside.

I’ll have links to everything down below the video.

Watch my full video of the makeover:
