]]> Guerlain Champs-Elysées Paris(After writing about World Cup Rugby for the guys, I thought I would do a post for the ladies this time!) 

Okay, so that beautiful tan you worked on all summer is slowly starting to fade now that the summer holidays are over, and you don’t want to go to a tanning salon. What to do? Well not everyone can be as fortunate as I am to be naturally blessed with a healthy glowing tan!  (LOL!  Don’t forget, I did write in another post that I am somewhat dillusional!)  All kidding aside, it’s hard to keep up that “healthy look” but I will tell you a little secret how some of my friends and I do maintain a summer glow all year round!

Guerlain Terracotta Moisturizing Bronzing PowderI’m talking about Guerlain’s Terracotta Moisturizing Bronzing Powder Long Lasting.  The first time I bought this bronzing make-up was over twenty years ago and it really is timeless.   I honestly would not be without it!  It’s just too bad that this isn’t a paid post that I’m doing!  I would love to have a freebie!  (Maybe I should sent this article to Guerlain, but for some reason I don’t think that would change anything.)  From my understanding, they sell this particular product, one every 30 seconds somewhere in the world!  So, I guess they don’t need my plug!  I do have one complaint however, why is it that the compact always breaks before you finish it?!!!

Guerlain Champs-ElyséesAnyway, it’s a must have for all women irregardless of your skin tone and besides, I love their shop on the Champs-Elysées and the people working there are really helpful!  If you’re not in Paris, you can find Guerlain at many of the large department stores in most countries.  The prices will vary but count on spending around 35 €!  Not really that expensive when you figure that it’ll last for at least a year or two. Besides, what price do you put on having a healthy summer glow?!

]]> LanvinLanvin is one of the oldest fashion houses still in operation today and has one of the longest lasting perfumes on the market as well. The founder Jeanne Lanvin set up shop on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in 1889 first designing hats and accessories. After the birth of her daughter Marguerite, Jeanne began making clothes for herself and Marguerite which caught the eye of many wealthy ladies wanting to dress themselves and their daughters in the same fashion; thus the Lanvin house was created.

Jeanne et MargueriteIn 1927 the perfume Arpège made its debut and has remained a constant seller for eighty years! The famous Arpège Art Deco bottle was designed by Armand-Albert Rateau with Jeanne and her daughter, Marguerite, in mind. The image was taken from a drawing made in 1907 of Jeanne and Marguerite dressed in evening gowns as they were going to a ball and has come to represent not only the perfume line, but also symbolizes the Lanvin house.

LanvinI don’t know about you, but I find it’s always great to get a gift which comes in a Lanvin box or bag, and anything that adds a little more to my Lanvin collection is all right with me!
