Does anyone know if the Stila is similar to Laura Gellars "spackle" in bronze? I have spackle and was thinking about purchasing the stila with my bb points but if there pretty much the same theres really no point in getting another.

I busted the Comodynes out last night because I couldn't find anyone who had used them yet, and i figured I could figure it out by trial and error....

It dried really quickly, in about 10 minutes, and didn't rub off any my clothes.  Color started to appear after about an hour, full color after three, but when I woke up this morning, it was even a little deeper. 

Color is great on my skin. Bronzy and not orange. But, I think I applied it wrong because there were streaks on my thighs (exactly where I would want them, right?).... Good thing there are two towelettes!

I started with a strategy of using the folded towelette, refolding as necessary and using straight strokes from ankle to the top of my leg (I only did my legs as a test).  But I think it would be better to unfold the whole towel and use a circular motion to get the most even coverage.

I applied after exfoliating in the shower, then moisturizing.

I love the color, and am going to keep trying to get the coverage to work for me!

anyone else tried it? Get better results with a different application technique?

Your results give me hope! I'm going to try this weekend when I don't have to go anywhere like work.

Lol, the Stila does look tempting. Not sure how I'm going to use it. Plot it on my cheeks lol.

the video they just put up (link is in the last page or so i think) on youtube explains how to use it and it seems the circular motion is the key

I was surprised to see a white towel, thought it would be brown.

Stainiac is definitely better over moisturized skin. I'm fairly light-skinned and it blends well for me without getting blotchy. Plus the wear especially on the cheeks is excellent! On this lips, not so much, but exfoliated is better. Press it in well and top it with a clear gloss for better wear, or use as a base for a lipstick so the color (the lipstick I mean) ends up wearing off more gradually, with less of the ring-around-the-lips effect. I love Stainiac during the summer, especially when I go places where I just want to carry an itty bitty purse and not shlep around one of those big Tarte cheek stains!

I decided to play with the Stainaic it's very light when you spread onto your skin.  I did use it on my hand just like in the video. I like it. It works.

Did everyone get Beauty Queen?

Melvita Floral Water

 

 

[Naun-Negotiable]

i am actually excited to tried the tanning wipes now that i've watched that video. if one packet is meant to do your whole body then we can try it out and maintain it for about a week or maybe more, depending how fast it fades. (3-4 days to maintain, 2 days to increase she said?)  anyway - that's a decent time to get a free tan for, i think. ramble ramble.
