If you could create your own beauty line, what would you call it? Who would be your customer? What kind of products would you make?

Duh, I’d call it Temptalia, and I’d have everything under the sun in terms of color and product. I’d love a full line of beauty products that appeal to a wide range of ages.

ST. TROPEZ EVERYDAY DAILY MOISTURIZER

If you are in the market for figuring out an easy, natural way to maintain sunkissed skin during the cool winter, I’d wholeheartedly recommend trying St. Tropez Everyday. It gives you a natural, gradual tan through this moisturizing body lotion that can be used regularly to give you that gorgeous bronzed glow. This product has won several awards in a variety of UK papers, and it only hit shelves in the States this past May. What do I love about this product? I love that it gives me a moisturizer and self-tanner in one, but it isn’t such a forceful tanner that you may end up with streaks. It’s natural, soft, and just a great way to achieve a year-round tan. I find it so practical that it offers two “colors”; one for fair to medium skin and another for medium to dark skin tones. All in all, I found this to be a product that does exactly what it says, and I’m not terrified by its price!

Available for $30.00 at www.sephora.com, Bath & Body Works, CO Bigelow, Red Door Salons, Beauty.com, and other select locations.

EARTHEN INSTANT PEEL

Who doesn’t love a little facial pampering? And who doesn’t love to beat the price of an at-spa treatment with a do-it-yourself one? Earthen’s InstantPeel is a non-irritating exfoliant that does it gently and quickly to remove impurities and residue from the skin to give it a lovely texture and renewed vibranchy. Each box contains six single-use packets, which might not sound like a lot, but it just depends on your skin type. If you have oily skin or normal skin use this once every other week or so; and for dry skin, use it once every three weeks. It is an all-natural exfoliant, and it is hypoallergenic, which makes it excellent for those with sensitive skin. No burning, scratching, or harshness whatsoever; it is a gentle exfoliant that does its job!
