Check out these reviews:

This kit is great with very generous samples of many products! I love the lip balm and the self tanning mouse along with all the great moisturizers! These aren't just packets of samples, they are very generous amounts of the products so that you can really try them before purchasing them in full size. The Bare Escentuals powder is perfect to carry in my purse. I am going to buy another kit as a gift and maybe another one for myself too :)



If you are looking for a new product to protect you from the sun-why not try a few? This is great and I have used the different products at different times. They are great and when I have decided what I like best I will purchase that product.

There are a lot of little treats in here which rock my socks. The lip stuff is the best, I actually went and purchased a large tube of this brand and love the other flavor too! Everything is a great size to toss in a beauty bag or a little purse and I have loved each of them. I would recommend buying it to anyone that goes out in the sun and doesn't want to lug a big bag around. The plastic bag that came with it is a great size for a trip or day at the beach.

Why Use a Sunscreen?

Sunscreens block the harmful UVA and UVB rays of the sun. You will find that each sunscreen has an sun protection factor (SPF) that is equal to the amount of time you can stay in the sun without burning. So, if you are sitting in the sun for 10 minutes and you apply a sunscreen with an SPF of 10, you can sit in the sun for 10 X 10 minutes without burning. Very pale-skinned people should use a very high SPF or a total sunblock. Wear sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 every day, even on cloudy days and when you don't plan on spending much time outdoors. Make sure the sunscreen blocks both UVA and UVB rays (referred to as "broad-spectrum" sunscreen). If you are going to be outside for a while, reapply sunscreen every 2 hours and after swimming or sweating. If you'll be in the direct sun, wear a sunscreen with a higher SPF, like SPF 30. If you'll be playing sports, make sure the sunscreen is waterproof and sweat-proof. The sun's rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.. Avoid spending a lot of time outside during this time period without wearing a sunscreen. When you can, wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants or skirts, and a hat with a brim. OK, you’ll look like a geek and be hot in the sun, but you will not burn. Wear sunglasses that provide almost 100 percent protection against ultraviolet radiation. Reflective surfaces such as snow and water can increase the amount of UV radiation to which your skin is exposed. Be aware that certain medications--such as antibiotics, some antidepressants and medications used to treat acne--can increase your sensitivity to sunlight. Ask your health-care provider or pharmacist if your medications might have this effect on you.

Get tan with out the Damage of the sun!
This is one my my favorite products. When I use to work retail at the local mall we couldn't keep these on the shelves. I first found out about them when I was working and a lady came in and bought all we had. I asked her about them because I had never used them before and she couldn't stop talking about how wonderful they were. When we got our next shipment I bought a pack and thought I would try them. And WOW she was right. The good things about Tan towels is they don't leave a streak on your skin. There is no cream you have to put on. All you do is rub the tan towel on your body and it feels like a wet wipe. The Tan Towel is clear and you can't even tell you are putting anything on your skin. In about a hour you will see the tan appear on your skin. The Tan Towel lasts on your skin for several days. This is a great buy!
