I love Sephora! Today they had a Peter Thomas Roth event so I signed up for an oxygen facial. I've been hearing good things about oxygen facials so I was pretty excited about it. But when I got there, the lady was like "Oh, you don't need oxygen facial. Your skeen is already gud. You already flawless dont need detox. Here I rehydrate for you with cucumber mask." (As you probably guessed, she was foreign.) Nevertheless I had fun getting exfoliated and "rehydrated".
Also, now that summer is here, I'm constantly obsessing about how pasty my legs are. I tried a spray-on tan a while back but the results weren't that great. It came out a bit orangy, it was streaky, and did not last long at all. I've heard about Sunset Tan mostly on TV... "where Paris Hilton spends $1000 a month to keep her glow." I considered going but was too lazy because it was too far (Sunset Blvd.) But now, they've opened one in West LA, right on Sepulveda so I decided to stop by there today.
I've been using Self-Tanner and wasn't too satisfied with the results: again, streaky, orange, and doesn't last long. This time I decided to try the beds. They have 3 different beds, all new and all pretty intense. I decided to go for the highest level, the sunboard. I was pretty shocked (and confused) when I they showed it to me:
I didn't want to seem too much like a "first timer" so I casually nodded when the guy ran me through the instructions. When it came time to actually use the machine I was pretty confused. At first I assumed the arms and top closed around the body, since that's what most tanning beds do. This one just stays stationary and emits high pressure UV rays to tan you. It was so freaking hot. I tried to turn on the "fan" but I accidentally pushed the "stop" button instead. Then I couldn't get the machine to start again, it was pretty embarrassing. I had to get dressed, go outside, and ask the guy how to turn the thing on again. He was like "uhh, you push the same "start" button"... uhhh der :)
But all in all I was pretty happy with my results. I'm darker than I've ever been after just one session and I'm not orange-y. It looks pretty natural.
