Mischo Beauty Review: Dior Bronze Self-Tanner Natural Glow Face

I was sad to learn that Lancome recently discontinued it's Flash Bronzer Face Gel, remember me mentioning it here and here? So I recently stopped in Sephora to find a replacement and picked up Dior's Dior Bronze Self-Tanner Natural Glow Face and unfortunately it's not what I'd expected. First, it's very heavily scented- almost, feels like I'm applying perfume to my face. And secondly, I have yet to see the color payoff. My expectation is for a natural, fresh-looking glow and it just doesn't deliver for me. So, my hunt continues...

If you have a recommendation for me, please let me know! Thanks.

Mischo Beauty: The Lancome Boutique & "“Best Friends Forever” Book Signing

The Lancome boutique hosted a book signing for Jennifer Weiner's new book "Best Friends Forever" and I couldn't pass on the opportunity to meet the author and check out the entire Lancome skincare and makeup collections all in one visit!

The event was held at Lancome's flagship boutique on New York's Upper West Side and was very well attended.

"Best Friends Forever" is Jennifer's seventh book, and this was her very first book signing for it. I later learned that it was most fitting, as Jennifer's favorite makeup products are Lancome's High Definicils Mascara and La Laque Fever Lipshine in Plum Wave.

Now you all know that I believe the secret to a flawless complexion is a consistent skincare regimen, so naturally I was drawn to check out all of Lancome's skincare options! Remember my GENIFIQUE giveaway?

As I chatted with Jennifer and browsed Lancome's offerings, all guests were treated to champagne and delicious mini-cupcakes.

I'm so excited about Lancome's launch of the Oscillation Powerbooster, which is a vibrating lash primer. I told you all how amazing the Cils Booster XL is, so I can only imagine the results from using the Oscillation Powerbooster... stay tuned for my review!

And I'm sure you all know by now that Arlenis Sosa is the new face for Lancome's La Laque Fever (she's on the cover of Vogue (Germany) May 2009- see my left column) and the shades included in the collection are beautiful!

The event was lovely! My very best wishes to Jennifer- and a very special "thank you" to Lancome for making me feel right at home!

Mischo Beauty Pick: Lancôme Flash Bronzer Self-Tanning Face Gel

In my post, earlier today, I talked about how much I'm loving the Shade to Order self tanner by True Blue Spa. I failed to mention that I'm not using it on my face though. I read the manufacturer's directions like five times to make sure I hadn't misread them and it didn't mention use on the face. Now there's no way I can walk around with a bronzed body and pale face so I picked up Lancome's Flash Bronzer for the face and I love it! I've been using it every other day - I just want a natural-looking, bronzy glow- nothing too harsh and I'm loving the results. Because it contains 100% pure vitamin E, it gives me enough moisture so that I can skip using my regular moisturizer and just apply my sunblock on top of it. I love, love, love my natural glow and the scent agrees with me just fine!
