I was in a wedding this past May. All of you who know me, know that I am almost see through I am so white. I avoid the sun at all cost, and when I am in it, I am usually coated in 30+ sunscreen. So, knowing that I had to wear a strapless dress, that was bright shamrock green, I was NERVOUS!!!
I began researching different tanning methods. Self tanner...No, Tanning Beds...No, Airbrushed Tan...Maybe, Mystic Spray Tan...Maybe, and last but not least, the Instant Spray Self-Tanners...Maybe.
That only left me the Mystic Tan. I found one place local to my home and called for an appointment. They were able to take me right away. I went the Wednesday before the wedding. Yes, I know, I should have done a trial run before hand, but I was out of time! I figured that if I went Wednesday, I would have plenty of time to scrub it off, need be.
I was so surprised, it was not too bad at all. I got to the place, paid my $40 (that was for 3 sessions), and the nice girl (not a creepy guy) walked me through it. I stepped in the booth, applied my lotion to the necessary places, took a deep breath, stood like a scare crow and pressed the button. 15 seconds sure is a long time when you are holding your breath! I repeated for the back side, got out, blotted and was on my way.

Thanks for stopping by on my SITS day to say hello. Hope you have a great week!
To Tan or not to Tan.. that is the question. I love the natural color it gave you and was very impressed with this fake tan.

Thanks Jenn! I was impressed too =) Going for my second one next week!
Oooh good to know! I thought that it was really expensive for Mystic, but that's not bad! I want to see what you look like after all of the sessions =) Your tan looks really natural!
I don't do self tanners. One bad experience as a high school freshman was enough for me!
Ok Leeann! I will let you know the next time I go =)
I've used Mystic Tan many times and other than a few places looking 'off' I thought it was a pretty good way to get some color. Love your green dress and I think you look awesome!
Thanks Miss Janice!!
I have tried self tanners...they are OK. I have been airbrushed tanned...it was streaky...I did the Mystic last year for my high school reunion (I have no color...I wear 70 spf). It was a pleasant experience and would do it again for sure.
I found a home self tanner that I <3 called Syven Nyne ( can't remember the exact spelling). Thanks for visiting my blog the other day!
