As someone who appreciates beauty and all the luxurious things in life I also realize it can be outrageously expensive. After many disappointments trying new products I decided to create this blog to help others get the unbiased details of products both luxury and generic before buying and potentially wasting hard earned money.

Neutrogena micro mist airbrush self tanner
So against my better judgement I decided to try a self tanner that was not tinted. The reason I use tinted self tanners is so that I can control the color by layering and see where I am applying to avoid blotches and streaks. I had a few streaks after using a lotion consistently so I finally went ahead and tried a clear spray...oh boy. Neutrogena is a reputable company so I went with them, I saw many mixed reviews so I decided to try it myself. I purchased the micro mist spray in deep from walmart for 10$. I showered and exfoliated and covered my bathroom floor with towels, I sprayed myself with the door closed to avoid tanning my house (this happens! especially on carpets) and opened a window. First I felt like I was going to get black lung from the spray, it was very dense in the air and I had to take a break to breathe. I couldnt tell where I was spraying but I could feel the dampness of where I had previously sprayed and tried to avoid layering. It dried very fast which was nice. The spray smelled awful but it smells bad at the salon too so I dealt with it. The next morning I checked my tan and was disappointed to find I had some major dark spots on my wrists from getting too close and not spraying my forearms. Overall I had an even tan but it did turn a little orange. If I had gone with a lighter version I wouldve probably avoided the orange issue. Here is where things got really bad. I took a self tan break as a result of the orange and returned my product to switch back to my favorite loreal sublime bronze. I didnt want to layer different tanners so I waited for the neutrogena to wear off. I have never seen such horrible splotchy patches, I literally looked like I had a skin disorder. I had to hide my skin and some parts even looked like I had dirty dead skin. I bought a loofah and scrubbed till it burned and it still didnt come off. I soaked in baby oil which helps lift the DHA and scrubbed away. It took a good 2 weeks walking around with splotches and I got some very interesting looks :( in all I would never buy this again.
