Can't jet off to the tropics to get a sun-kissed look? No worries, here are a few products that make it a cinch to look like a bronzed goddess. Use these goodies and people will think you've been basking on the beaches of Bora Bora!
"The Face" Bamboo Buffing Polish
$11.95 (for a limited time, but 1 get one free)
When I was contacted by the tanning titans at Fake Bake, I must admit that I chuckled. Yours truly has never needed any type of tanning product. However, they ignored my skepticism and sent me a sample of their Bamboo Buffing Polish. Smart move - I am absolutely loving this product. If you use a self-tanner, the Bamboo Buffing Polish will exfoliate and remove dead skin cells so that you get a more even tan. For ladies like me who skip the self-tanner, this product is still a great way to gently and quickly smooth your face. Formulated with Bamboo Powder, Ginger Root, and Chamomile Extract, the Bamboo Buffing Polish has a delicious cinnamony aroma and gives your skin a nice tingle. This product was really a pleasant surprise! Fake Bake also offers a great selection of self-tanning products, bronzers, and lip gloss.
Stila Bronzing Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20
$32
I may not use self-tanner but I still love a nice sun-kissed glow. I've been a long time fan of Stila Sun Bronzer compact but their Bronzing Tinted Moisturizer sounds really impressive. A triple threat, this product moisturizes, has SPF 20, and gives you a nice glow. As an added bonus, it is oil free. I will definitely sample this on my next trip to Sephora.
TOPSHOP Bronzer in Holidaze (light brown) and Global (dark b
rown)
$16 each
These travel-friendly bronzers from TOPSHOP are an easy way to sweep on some sunny shimmer. And, it seems like the names. Holidaze & Global, were inspired by us ladies with wanderlust!

I had a chance to test this shade and meet the lovely Miss Kashuk a few months ago. Sheer, shiny and sexy, it will make your pout unforgettable. Wear it alone or layer it to add shimmer to another lipstick.
L'Oreal Wear Infinite Single Eye Shadow, Golden Sunset 820

This cheapie but goodie is my pick when when I want to add a subtle glow to my lids. You won't have to dig too deep or travel too far for this golden eye shadow- it is available virtually everywhere!
