New Obsession: The Mindy Project

I just finished the first season of The Mindy Project. Thank you Hulu! I could not be more pleased with this show! It's hilarious! And I am completely obsessed with Chris Messina.

Chris Messina aka Jon Bernthal Doppleganger?! And you all know how much I  LOVE Jon Bernthal. 

Am I right?!

Anyway, this show is so refreshing!  I don't watch TV anymore, so I don't know whats hot and whats not.  So when I was perusing for new shows to watch online (I can only rewatch all the seasons of HIMYM so many times, and I also watched all the seasons of Scrubs...) I thought I would give this Mindy Kaling a chance. 

I'm so glad  I did! She is hilarious! It kind of has a Sex and The City feel to it, but not annoying (yeah I said it. Carrie Bradshaw is SO annoying!!!!) The cast is amazing too!

I just watched the season finale yesterday and I really hope they continue the show!!!

St Tropez Gradual Tan

ULTA, $30. You can find this on Amazon for $19

My main concerns with self tanners are of course, scent and color.

I particularly go for the gradual self tanners because I feel like they are more goof proof/forgiving, and I don't want to be one day white and then BLAM- TAN! haha..

I thought I would use this for about a week before giving a review.

I applied this every night for four nights in a row.

PROS:
-Scent is AMAZING. No self tanner will ever NOT smell like self tanner, but this one is pretty close.  There is a faint smell, but I don't mind it.  The lingering fragrance smells really good. It actually lingers on my bed sheets and I actually like it!

-Decent moisturizer.  It made my legs feel super smooth, and it felt like my skin got gradually smoother with each use.  It was almost like an exfoliating effect.

-Color does not stain/transfer onto fabric

-You see color results quickly.  I was definitely "tanned" by the next morning after first use.

-Wears off nicely.  It isn't blotchy.  The color actually looked better after a days of not putting any more product on and the color faded.

Which brings me to...

CONS:
-Color is orangey. :(  Not sure if its just my skin tone, but no matter what kind of self tanner I use, it just ends up looking orange.  After each product I try, I always swear off self tanners for a  few months.  And then I see a product I haven't tried, and I'm suckered in again.

-Takes a while to absorb into your skin.  Although the color doesn't transfer, I still feel like I should wait for it to dry before really getting comfortable in bed.  I feel like I might streak the color if I don't wait. So I do, and I'm not happy about it.

There are certainly a lot more pros, but the orangey color is definitely a deal breaker.  This is definitely by far the best smelling self tanner I've ever used though.   Maybe if you have a different skin tone then mine, you might want to give it a try.  I do have to say, after I quit applying the product and let it fade, the color actually started to look better, but my legs looked surprisingly naturally tan.  So I might try it again, but only use it every other day.

Overall: 2.5/5 "Stars" haha
