Welcome to a funny story. On Friday I had a dance performance and I was able to have plenty of time to get ready. That little intuitive thought came into my head and told me to get ready early. So I did. Because you should listen to the intuition. My least favorite part of dance and performance in general is getting ready. So, I took a quick shower and started putting on my face / stage make up. Then I thought, why not try a new product I had purchased. So here comes review #1 - Bath and Body Works body bronzer "At the Beach" fragrance So, when you demo this at the store it leaves a fine mist of golden brown glitter on the back of your hand and smells delightful. When you are doing your entire body it is really hard to spray on, you get stripes. So you're thinking "alright, I'll just rub the stuff around" right? Wrong. If you let it dry for , say 20 seconds it's set and no more smearing can happen. Your only choice is to then spray heavily everywhere. Now, it did smell nice, and I did like how most things in my bathroom were covered in beautiful glitter, but other than that I give it 1 out of 5 stars. So - I had to do another shower, *scrub* myself raw and still be streaky, until I thought of product #2 which rescued me. Enter: review # 2 Avon's Skin So Soft bath oil mist My family has had a bottle of Avon's Skin So Soft since I was a little kid. The secret application of this bath oil, is that it can get sticky tag residue off of just about anything. I prefer the kind that comes in a mist bottle This is a lovely, lightweight body mist that spreads on the skin brilliantly. It moisturizes better than any lotion I've tried and leaves behind a mildly "clean soap" scent. And, as it turns out, it also gets off streaky bronzer quite easily. lol. Photo: Pixabay

I'm sorry about product #1 and happy #2 could get it off with ease. It's amazing what Avon's Skin So Soft can do. It's good for everything.

Oh yes, Avon still going strong. I knew they sold make up, skin care and jewelry, but now they also have a line of clothes as well that are very nice. That is awesome that your ex-wife did well with them

I haven’t used Skin So Soft in years, but know it’s good for many things. My husband would murder me if I got glitter on the bathroom floor. However, in another bathroom our tiles have glitter in them.

@FayeHazel The glitter in the tiles is very subtle, but gorgeous!

Haha, you should have left the bronzer and just made it part of your outfit lol. Just kidding, i am sorry you had to go through that but good thing you listened to your intuition, That would have been awful had you not had time to take another shower. I have never tried Skin so Soft and I used to sell Avon eons ago, I might have to check that out. How did your performance go?

@FayeHazel Haha, at least the strips would have fit huh lol. I like the age defying creams Avon sold but I bought a lot of the kids stuff for my grand kids all the time. I had to get out of it because I usually spent my check before I got it!!! I am glad the performance went well, nice to have something you enjoy doing so much.

Lol. I actually do have a zebra costume, so I could have done that. Oh wow. Avon has some great products. What were your favorites. The Skin So Soft is highly recommended - I love it as a moisturizer Performance was awesome, thanks for asking. Lovely audience and everyone else performing was nice, too

Skin So Soft is also supposed to be a good insect repellent. This whole experience is why I always tell my clients (I'm a Life Coach. Well, not technically, I mean I don't have a degree in it or a license or anything but I used to play one on TV and that's close enough) that they should never shower alone. You never know when you might need a helper.

Oh that's a good idea! I should try the skin so soft next time I go to the garden and see if it works. You are a wise life coach! And yes, playing one on TV is close enough. lol. Now if I could get a shower volunteer …..

Wow what a horror story with that bronzing spray! Using that stuff not only makes you streaky but "freaky too."
