It's very hard for women of color to find a nice product that allows us to have the appearance of spending the weekend on a lovely beach somewhere, when really we were just lounging around the house deciding on which shade of pink polish to slather on our nails and goes perfectly with our outfit du jour.

You all might not believe this, but sometimes its really hard for us bi-racial beauty fiends to find products to enhance the color of our complexion without a few complications. Its either too dark as if we fell asleep in the gutter or does nothing at all. There is no "too light" because it just fades away in the skin.

After all the shaking fits I have had in the past, I have actually round up some great finds, but a recent find that has stumbled into my beauty basket is by the lovely folks over at Dove. Its Dove Energy Glow Daily Moisturizer with Subtle Self-Tanners. Long title, but worth the read!

I have been using it for well over a week and have to come the conclusion that I might never look back or for another self-tanner. It gave me the greatest hue of a golden tan, without the obvious appearance of a fake tan. No orange glow syndrome here, chicas!

Muy perfecto por mi latina lovlies, tambien!  Porque soy half mexicana!  Did you all like my spanglish! Yeah, me neither!

Anyway, this self-tanner will keep you looking perfectly "toasty" all year round without those horrific streaks! It also holds up its end of the bargain with its promise of moisturizing, because I have found that some self-tanners give you the tan, but through in some dry skin to boot. You won't have to worry about that with this self-tanner.

I give this a solid A! Treat your self to a tan and let your soul glow! Of course "soul glow" was ripped from a faux commercial about jherri curl juice, but it also fits into this current lifestyle of obtaining the perfect glowing skin!

Stay Stylish!

STAINED SECONDS:

• I promised my computer that I wouldn't give it any "Beyonce" posts for a few days, so if you want to see the new ads for her line H.O.D, then click here! I still wouldn't wear the stuff and I am kind of sick of the same dark ads and the airbrushed Mrs. Knowles. Her hips are not that small, I've seen them up close!
