L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Gradual Self-Tanning Lotion

It's a keeper

I'm fair-skinned (blonde, a few freckles) and I find that I get noticeable color after just one application of this, even though it's labeled as a gradual tanner. It does produce somewhat of that telltale sunless-tanner smell on me, so I make sure to apply before I go to bed so I can shower off the smell in the morning. This doesn't leave me looking orangy at all and several people have complimented me on my "tan" and asked me what I use when I 'fess up that's it's a sunless tanner.

Freeze 24-7 Anti-Wrinkle Cream

Not all it's built up to be

I became intrigued with this after seeing it in a Victoria's Secret catalog a couple of years ago. The high price kept me from ordering it though. I finally caved and ordered some back in January - don't remember who from though. It *feels* like it should be doing something noticeable -- where I apply it on my face, my face feels kind of tight and, well, "frozen". However, I'll have to say that I really cannot tell any major visible difference in the fine lines I apply it to. Maybe just the tiniest bit of diminishment (and I have to really, really study my face in the mirror to be able to tell), but most definitely nothing worth paying $125 for. I'll never buy it again -- it's WAY overhyped.
