Just got my package and am in LOVE with the Amplifying Lip Glosses AND the self tanner -- there is absolutely NOOOOOO smell to it!!!! I'm in shock! I can't attest to the color yet as I only applied it a bit ago but it goes on super smooth, is easy to spread and dries quickly... no stickiness after... AND, did I mention, NO ODOR!!!!lol!

I will buy this year round if the color comes out!!!!

Thanks to Karen and the rest of SN for such wonderful new products!!!!

The self tanner is perfect. I love that there's NO SMELL, and the color builds and builds. I'm no stranger to self-tanners, and as long as this one lasts, I'm sold. Please sell it year round

I love the blushes I got--Folly and Bolero especially. Perfect for spring! I'm so excited to finally have a lavender blush. Diablo is very pretty too. I just have to make sure I use only a tiny speckle

The lip stains are great. I bought all four and love every single color. I've been coming up with some fun combos between those and the rest of my stash. Blaze + Dixie = sheer perfection

But my favorite thing is definitely the Amplifying Lip Glazes! I got Blaze, Electra, and Glacier. I LOVE every color. So flattering and really multi-purpose. I can wear them over a ton of lipsticks or stains, or I can wear them on their own. I really love Glacier on its own too. Very cool I would like all of my lip products in this formula! Non glittery shades, balms, lipsticks, and the like

I'm so very happy with everything I got, and I am really excited by the new formulas. I haven't had much money to play around with lately, so I kind of blew my fun budget on the new release, but it was definitely money well spent. Thanks!

How did the color turn out with the self tanner? I can't get over that it doesn't smell AND isn't sticky!!! I only just got it and applied it so I haven't had a chance to see how well it works. Thanks. OH, and did you try it on your face? I never use them there but I saw it would be safe for it and am half way tempted!

The self tanner is the $h*t! I love it. I've been using it on my face just fine. I've never had issues with breaking out and self tanners, so I wasn't too worried, but I did do a small patch test along my jawline to be sure. It's a pretty solid tan. Bronzey and golden. I have black hair, am really fair, and have pretty sallow undertones...sometimes I look sickly. I look better with a tan, honestly, but I don't do the sun!

I can't use mineral foundation anymore, so I can't quantify it here, but if it helps, I was using NC15 in MAC last week, and now, I am going to have to go to the counter and get a new bottle for the summer. I am at least NC25, maybe closer to 30. The color seems to deepen over multiple days too. I am a sucker for this stuff! I don't use self tanner in the winter because I find it to be a pain and messy and I'm wearing more clothes anyway, right?

If it's this easy with SN's, I may have to budget monthly for it!

I never do in the winter either but that might be changing with this stuff!! I am so freaking excited. I only got the sample size but I think I'm going to go ahead and place another small order tonight with a large and another of the ALG's -- Fanfare... it's incredible stuff! I need to see what other colors they have in it! (I also got Electra and Blaze -- both beautiful as well). It's just Fanfare is a color I've been looking for FOREVER!!!

OMG!! eliz & cait that is great to hear about the tanners...I so wish I could use self tanners. All that I have ever tried breaks me out into a rash that has me digging for days. And ITA that the this release has some awesome products.

Aaaawwww....thanks gals! It does mean a lot to me to hear that you like everything. It did just sort of come together this time, and I'm really pleased with the way the ALG's turned out. I tried the formula on a whim, and it just sort of worked out. I spent MONTHS on the Buttercreams, and I dare say I prefer the ALG's a little bit more.

I'm seriously digging the self tanner too. Usually when I use one it doesn't last a long weekend, but I applied Thursday and it's still going strong.

Oooh, seriously wishing I ordered the Self Tanner now! Might have to place yet another small order.. I use self tanners all year round but the smell really gets to me and I hate using them on my face. I look sick when I don't have a tan. So excited to try this!

Karen, will it be relatively permanent?

Posted: **Tue May 03, 2011 9:23 am**

Karen, do you know how long a large size bottle of the self tanner will last (potency wise)? I ordered a large last night and would like to order several if it has a long shelf life. I had posted elsewhere that I had completely given up on self tanners because of the smell!! Your self tanner is FANTASTIC... I really can't get over it!!! I woke up with a completely natural, beautiful light tan everywhere I applied it from just the sample bottle!!

Will you sell this year round? I will beg if I have to!

Please don't ever change it!

You should definitely try a sample at least... you know me and my acne so I am super pleased this works so well for me!!

It's not acne that makes me dig it is a serious allergic reaction to something in the self tanners. Large red rashes and the itching for dayyyyyys

Karen's does have limited ingredients. So I may in my next order put in for it. Or Ohio can give up the clouds and rain and I'll go as I do in the sun with natural sunscreen
