Sun-kissed in Seconds with Arbonne

By

When summer comes along, I start thinking about how I can get a nice warm glow and some color in my cheeks without sunbathing. I’ve tried quite a few sun tanning products (I’ll share my favorite in another post…) and I’ve even gone to one of those spray-on booths where you stand nekkedd and turn every 30 seconds (anyone else know what I’m talking about?). 

But sometimes I need a quicker solution – just a little extra color, a little extra sparkle. That’s when I turn to No Sun Intended Bronzing Powder by Arbonne. 

Here’s the ad copy from the website:

“Get color that sparkles and glows, naturally, with this luxurious bronzing powder that gives you an instant, easy and safe tan. This powder gives all skin types a gorgeous, tanned look without the unwanted effects of the sun’s rays and it works beautifully for face and body.”

This is my favorite Arbonne product I’ve tried so far. The bronzing powder comes in a walnut-colored over-sized compact that includes a mirror…and the color of the powder is gorgeous. It’s great to be able to look sun-kissed in seconds. 

If you’re thinking about buying bronzer, I’d go with this cleverly-titled and easy-peasy-to-apply product from Arbonne. It retails for $28 and – best of all – by buying the product, you’re supporting Rachel, a SAHM of two boys and the blogger behind Fitness for Mommies. 

I should note that the bronzer doesn’t come with a brush (which is difficult for mamas who don’t wear a lot of make-up like me), but just e-mail Rachel at pmickelson@verizon.net and ask her about the brush she gave me (I don’t see it on the website). It’s big and fluffy and works with the bronzer perfectly, and I think it’s available for purchase…

WIN IT! One winner will receive the No Sun Intended Bronzing Powder by Arbonne and the fluffy brush mentioned above. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post prior to Sunday, May 25 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). The winner will be announced and contacted on Monday, May 26. * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address. 

*UPDATE* The winner is #7 Belinda. Congratulations!

    This looks like an awesome product. I’m sooooo white right now that anything that gives a little color would be great!

  5. kerri says

  11. elizabeth says

    I work for a publication for cancer patients, so I definitely don’t tan (at least, not on purpose). These types of products are so great because they help you look tan and healthy without the dangerous rays!

  13. Suanne Giddings says

    This is a great way to get a summer look without the harmful rays! Good Luck to all! Have a fun and safe holiday! Thanks for sponsoring this contest!

  15. Angela Harris says

    This would be great for me, I go to a tanning bed almost daily, but I do not get any sun on my face at all, I use a cover to keep to sun from getting to my skin!! So needless to say, my face is completly different from the rest of my body, a nice bronzer would be great!!
    Please enter me!!
    Thanks

  16. Jeanine Price says

    Cool stuff! You are going to make some Mama very happy…..hopefully me!!

  19. Stephanie Kinchen says

    This is great. I love the smoothness that this bronzer portrays. It feels so light on your skin.

  21. Christine E. says

    I’ve had skin cancer on my face and now know better than to leave the house without sunscreen. Unfortunately, my pale skin looks so drab.

  22. Jennifer Schroeder says

    I love the Arbonne products and finally after years of going to the tanning bed, I’ve given it up, so I am in real need of some color! Thank you for the great contest!

  28. Linda B says

    I would love this. I don’t get out in the sun either. My father passed away from melanoma so I am at high risk. So I am pretty pale and need this.

  29. Elaine Solochier says

    I just had sun cancer removed from my chest so NO sun for me! Thanks.

  33. Alka says

    Very nice, id need some of this for the summer. My family always likes products lik these.

  34. Heather B says

    I could really use something like this. I have avoided the sun for years. I just get too many freckles and sun spots.

  35. Dia W. says

    Who wants wrinkles? To prevent them, I stay out of the sun as much as possible. When I am in the sun, I apply spf to spare my skin. My face could really use some color! I would love to win this :)

  36. Kristen Buck says

    I am a tan-a-holic and have been doing everything I can to not go into the sun without sunblock this year. So far it’s been torture, I have tried several self tanners, what a mess! This looks right up my alley, easy to apply and nothing long term!

  39. Susan Ledet says

    I love the sun but don’t care for the damage that it causes so I love bronzers! Thanks for the nice and healthy giveaway.

  40. Bethany F says

    This looks like a great product. I have really fair skin so I go from extremely pale to lobster red in no time. This would be a great way to get around that. :)

  43. Kym Pizzano says

    Love Arbonne products. Among the Arbonne products that I have, my favorite is the hand cream. A couple of my students were complaining of dry skin, so I gave them a bit. I’ve created monsters now. I had a parent send me a note asking what cream her daughter keeps talking about.

  46. Jill says

    I love Arbonne. Would love to try this. I am pasty white and can use all the help I can get. THANKS!

  48. C Duran says

    I would love to try this. I try to avoid the sun, but still like to have a little color in the summer time. This would be perfect!

  49. Heather C says

    I have yet to find a bronzer that doesn’t make me look like I broke into my mom’s makeup drawer and applied dark lipstick to my face with my fingers. haha. I’d love to try this brand and see if it works a bit better on me.

  54. Sherri says

    have avoided the sun for many years but would like to get the slightly tan look, sounds like a nice product!

  55. Jennifer C says

    I am a sun avoider and am in need of some new bronzer. This one sounds great to try. Thanks.

  59. Rozetta Harvey says

    Great contest! Count me in, please. I would love to try an Arbonne product – I have heard of them, but haven’t tried any yet.

  63. Theresa Jensen says

    I think bronzer is the way to go when wanting to get a sun kissed glow. It does the job without harming your skin! Thanks for this giveaway!

  67. brandey says

    I love anything that helps create the look of tanned skin without the serious effects of the sun. This looks perfect. Thanks

  71. Sara says

    I would love to win this, I am really white because I don’t go out in the sun a lot!

  73. jeanne says

    Thanks for the great explanation of the product. I’ve tried a couple bronzers without much success. This one sounds almost mistake proof.

  75. Jodene Gildea says

    This would be great for my face, I try to keep that covered in the summer.

  76. Paula Harmon says

    I can never lay in the sun like the good ol’ days when I was skinny and single. Chasing 4 kids, all I get is a farmer’s tan.

  79. Sylvia Porter says

    this would be so great to win, i’ve been needing a proper brush to put my make-up on

  83. Betty Curran says

    I hate starting the summer looking like shark bait. I usually get a nice glow with just a few short outings but I want to get a head start. This bronzing powder sounds like just what I need. Thanks for the chance to win.

  87. Tesa S. says

    Great products. I used to be a sun-worshipper, now I’m a sun-avoider. These would be great to win!

  89. Laura says

    I’m very light skinned, so I can’t use even the lightest of the light self tanners. This would be perfect for a little color. Thanks!

  92. Nicole McKee says

    I’ve always heard great things about Arbonne products, but have never had the chance to try them yet. This sounds like a great item to try!

  94. sarah woods says

    Thanks to be facially tanned without the horrors for the direct/indirect sun light. SW

  96. Meg says

    Its amazing what a difference a little color can do to your face. I too choose to do it in ways other than the sun. Arbonne is a great company-thanks!

  97. robin says

    sounds fab – thanks for the chance to win. I don’t suntan well so this would be a great thing for me to try out.

  100. Katy Morris says

    I had a skin cancer scare not too long ago, so though I live in San Diego,CA now, I slather myself with sunscreen…and the effects are kinda dull, pasty skin. This sounds like it could really “wake up” my skin! Thanks!

  102. Ann says

    I’m a burner not a tanner :( I look at other woman with those pretty sun-kissed cheeks and necklines and would love to have it myself. I have tried a few bronzers but they are too orangish, after reading your review of your experience would love to try Arbonne’s. Thank you for the chance and good luck everyone.

  104. Sarah T. says

    I’m hopelessly clueless about makeup, as my only regular product is cherry chapstick! But I would love to upgrade and give this a try :)

  106. Misti K says

    I love Arbonne’s bath & skin products, but I’ve never tried any of their makeup. What a terrific giveaway!

  108. sharon D. says

    Thank you so much for entering me in your contest. I have not had opportunity to try Arbonne products yet and would love to try this. I like the idea of a bronzer rather than damage my skin. Thank you!

  109. Krista says

    That sounds interesting! I’m not sure I’d buy it, but I’d like to try it! I have such fair skin though I wonder if it would be too dark and look funny…

  113. Carrie says

    Great website!!

    I’m a California girl (living in the South)that’s in need of sun-kissed skin!!

  114. Carroll Griggs says

    I just heard about this today from someone who said it is wonderful. Sure would like to win it.

  115. Kirsten says

    I am the palest of pale and I try so hard to find a bronzer AND brush that can give me a healthier look so I can keep avoiding the temptations of the tanning bed. Yes, it is true. I am a former tanning bed addict….

  116. Debra Ford says

    I’ve never tried a bronzer, but as I’m getting older, I know I can use all the help I can get.

  119. Eileen Burke says

    Since I pretty much burst into flames in the real sun, a fake tan is my only option!

  123. Joanna Smith says

    I have heard a lot of very postive buzz about Arbonne products and how great they are, however, I have yet to try any! I am actually in the market for a Bronzer but like most women (I think) I am worried that it will not look natural and will go on much too heavy. This Arbonne No Sun Intended Bronzing Powder does sound worth a try! I would love to win it so I can have a safe natural glow this summer! Thank you for offering this great product and for introducing us to Arbonne!

  124. Sandi Smith says

    I have been using products like this for approximately 20 years. Before it became popular. My skin has rewarded me.

  129. Heather Turner says

    I am pregnant and so I can’t really lay out in the sun this year. It would be great to have somewhat of a tan this summer with this product. I hope that I can win this. I’m so white right now! lol.

  131. erica says

    I never really sunbathed except when I was a teenager but I have often thought about starting to go tanning. Then I stop because of the skin damage. i would love to be able to look sun kissed without the damage to my skin. princess_e68@hotmail.com

  132. Rhonda says

    Stephanie, I heard more than one comment on your “tan” this last weekend as you were trying
    Sun-kissed out. Just wondering how many people said something?
    Rhonda

  139. Emily Dawley says

    I love when summer comes around and the store shelves are full of bronzing products. It’s a sunny feeling!

  140. Christine says

    My two favorite products for the summer are a good bronzing powder and a good water proof mascara.

  152. kristi blackstone says

    Wow, okay I’m pregnant and white so yeah this would be fabulous!

  153. Kathy Scott says

    I have never worn much makeup, but I am getting older and need some freshing up.

  155. Gina Stratos says

    Years ago, I used to work for Arbonne so I know that their products are of superior quality. I’d love to win this!

  157. Ashley Henley says

    i would love to try this, i need a good bronzer for my tan impairment and i have always heard wonderful things about arbonne i have just never tried it

  159. Erika Elshoff says

    Being over 50 I have learned not to sunbath, but I still want that summer glow. I would love to try this product.

  162. Kimberly says

    As a fair-haired pale skinned woman every ounce of brozer is appreciated. I wouldn’t want to blind anyone.

  164. Michele says

    I would like to try this – too afraid of the blazing sun to get natural color!

  168. Trisha R says

    Hi! It would be nice to win a new bronzer for the summer. I like that sunkissed look but don’t want to sacrifice my skin for it.

  169. Jodi says

    This stuff looks great. I have such pale skin that I really have to avoid the sun; I get all my summer color from a bottle. I’d love to try this stuff.

  171. Lori Drohan says

    After working at a dermatologists office years ago I knew I couldn’t be a sun worshiper any more. (Saw too many cases of skin cancer) So now in the summer I use make-up to get the look instead. I have heard great things about Arbonne products and this would be a great way to try out their skin care line!

  172. Holly says

    would love to try this, I love the sun kissed look without the risk of sun damage!

  176. Susan C says

    I am so pale,I could be a ghost! I would love to try an Arbonne product, especially this one.

  179. Mary Casper says

    This would be great I have always burnt to a crisp very easily and now that I am older I am even more interested in protecting myself

  180. Allison says

    Oh that would be fantastic! I wear a nice bronzer now, and it makes all the difference in the world. It’s amazing what a little bit of color can do for you. I have some makeup brushes already, so that wouldn’t be abig deal for me :)

  182. Cynthia C says

    I’ve been seeing bronzers on TV and magazines and am convinced that I should try them. This looks like a very nice one. Thanks for the chance to win.

  190. Terra Heck says

    I don’t expose myself to the sun often, so it’s hard for me to get the darker look I’d like. So this would be great.

  192. Michelle says

    I don’t do sun well at all, so this would be perfect for me. At least I wouldn’t look all pasty white and sick.

  200. Melissa Reeder says

    Who has time to lay out and tan with 3 girls under the age of 5? Not me. I would love to get my summer tan with this. Thanks so much!

  202. Maggie Mannwieler says

    The medications I take don’t allow me to sun bathe any more. Plus, the sun rays are so strong now, skin cancer would be inevitable if I did. This bronzer and the kabuki brush would allow me to have a slight tan all over…I don’t wear make up unless it’s a special occasion because it clogs my pores. Yep, 53 and still getting zits. Damn that menopause! LOL
    Great giveaway – hope I win!

  206. Darlene M says

    I’ve never tried Airborne products before, I would love to give this a try because I have very fair skin and just get freckles

  207. Michelle Martinez says

    I absolutely love bronzing powder, especially for the summer months! Please count me in! Thanks!

  208. misty wright says

    I am so pale, and I never tan. I always burn then peel and then I am pale again. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

  209. Catherine copeland says

    a a ithout sundamage. this is something i should have done a long time ago

  210. Cindi says

    Evening, I heard about “Arbonne” quite awhile ago, but never really looked into their products. Bronzer is my most used summer cosmetic! Please enter me in your fabulous drawing. It is always appreciated!
    Thanks,Cindi

  214. Rebel V says

    I could really use this. I have pretty fair skin and burn too easily to try and tan.

  215. Sharon C, says

    I can’t get out in the sun like I used to because of meds I’m taking. So I could use this product for my pasty white skin tone. Woulld really like to try this.
    Thanks for the giveaway.

  216. Valerie C. says

    I’d love to win this! I’m another “pale face” who really needs some color :o) Thank you!!

  217. KATHLEEN SERWIN says

    I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TRY THIS PRODUCT, I AM VERY FAIR SKINNED AND JUST A LITTLE SUN I GET FRIED, I NEVER GET A NICE TAN, AND WOULD JUST LOVE TO HAVE ONE. I HAVE TO DEPEND ON PRODUCTS LIKE YOURS, OTHERS I HAVE TRIED AND TURNED ORANGE THEY WERE TERRIBLE. WE WENT TO ST.LUCIA FOR MY DAUGHTERS WEDDING AND ALL THE PICTURES, I LOOKED LIKE A LOBSTER. IT WAS AWFUL.

  218. s snyder says

    I’d love to try this product for a healthier glow to my face without getting the damage from the sun! Please enter me!

  220. serena miller says

    I am so fair skinned and never go out in the sun without my spf 50, needless to say i never tan. i totally rely on products like this!

  224. Elizabeth M. says

    I gave up the sun years ago but I still love that sunkissed look. I actually have never tried bronzer but I think that it just might be the ticket!

  227. claire says

    I have some friends who use this makeup and love it! I’d be so excited if I won and could try it out!

  229. JONI CHADWELL says

    Oh I love this …I am so white. Those Kabuki brushes are the best and I love the bronzer

  230. Amira says

    I think I would end up saving this for the winter…i like to have a tan effect without endangering my skin.

  234. Casey H says

    My mom swears by this stuff but I havent tried it yet, I’d love to give it a shot!
    Please enter me!!

  237. Sara says

    The past few years I’ve just resigned myself to pasteyness but I sure wouldn’t mind looking more “seasonal”. I’m too forgetful to put on a lotion for so many days in a row only to find that it doesn’t work (probably b/c I forgot to put it on). I’ve never owned a bronzer but I know Arbonne has wonderful stuff and I’m sure this is no exception.

  242. Albert says

    Great idea for good looks without the risks of exposing the skin to too much sun.

  250. Heidi says

    I am constantly on the lookout for self tanning products. I have very fair skin and therefore do not brown up in the sun. I have two skin colors. Either white or red. This gives me the sun touched look that ironically I can not get in the sun.

  252. Kathleen says

    My skin is only a few shades darker than the background of where I’m typing right now. It never used to bother me–I liked the goth look–but now as a mommy, I’m finding myself around more “normal” folks and starting to feel freakishly pale. A bit of unnatural sun would do me a lot of good, I think!

  255. Jennifer Barnett says

    I am soooo pale. I could use a little color and sparkle to my face. Thanks for the chance.

  257. Jen says

    What a nice giveaway! I checked out the site, they seem to carry really nice stuff, I would love to try this! :)

  258. Jenny says

    I could really use this! With the warm sunny weather here, I need to have some color. I would love to win this Arbonne prize. Count me in! Thanks! :-)

  259. Teri Meairs says

    The Anti Aging NutrimenC RE9 sounds like exactly what I need! Your give-a-way is very generous. Thank you.

  260. Barbara Baker says

    I have heard of Arbonne and have been to the site, but have never been able to afford there awsome stuff…for this reason I’d love to enter this contest in hopes that I could win.

  262. ashley says

    I love Arbonne products. My mom uses this bronzer and she LOVES it.
    Steph, I laughed outloud when I read about your *spray tan* comment. Although, I love going to get a spray tan when I need a quick tan:)

  265. Dara Nix says

    I would L-O-V-E to win this. I am trying very hard to take better care of my skin, and not having to tan in the sun or under a lamp will help!

  266. Meredith Peters says

    I’d look like I got some sun
    if I wore this Arbonne
    Without the extra eye creases
    When I win things it sure pleases

  270. charline s says

    This sounds like a great product. It would be so nice to look like you spent hours out in the sun without having to actually do it.

  278. Tina Rath says

    Would love a good bronzer so my face would coordinate better with my fake tan body!

  280. nicole barr says

    I have been looking for an easy way to get a tan this summer without having to go to the tanning place or lay out in the sun I would love to try this THANKS :)

  282. Megan B. says

    Thanks so much for the great giveaway, I need this because I am so fair and avoid the sun! Thanks!

  284. Terry says

    As much as I love the sun (oh how I love the sun!), I’m trying to avoid it (thanks to my first and hopefully last “sun spot”). This bronzer sounds perfect! Now if someone would make something other than spray on tans and goopy lotions to cover the rest of the body….

  285. Sundi says

    I love Arbonne products, and I am as white as a sheet, so this product sounds perfect! Do you just use it on your face or everywhere that’s showing?

  286. Erica says

    A few years ago I gave up on sunbathing, both for my health and because I’ve turned practically albino like my mother. Now it’s white or red, no cute brown. I could definitely stand to find something that makes me look less pasty! I like the title, too…

  287. Hazel says

    I have skin prone to break outs (omg, still! why? WHY?!) which requires that I use medication that tells me to avoid the sun. No chance of a natural tan here, so I’ve been looking for a bronzer to give me that summer glow. It would be cool to try Arbonne because the price is a little too high for me to buy it with out knowing if it would work for me.

  288. Belinda says

    This sounds like a great product. I would love to try it out , I might have to buy some of my own. Thanks for the giveaway!

  289. Becca says

    I picked up a magazine in a waiting room the other day and read that bronzer is the new blush. I don’t wear a lot of eye makeup, but without some color on my cheeks I look pretty washed out. I’d love to try this stuff!

  290. Linda says

    I am moving from Minnesota to Arizona next month and need to create a quick tan. My skin is so white it’s fluorescent!

  291. ashlynn says

    I just went to an Arbonne party last week & was interested in this line. I need a fake tan!

  292. stacey moore says

    this would be great in summer when i don’t want to put on makeup!! being a teacher, the summer is my vacation and there is are lots of days i just don’t wear any makeup!! thanks!
    moore.g at insideconnect.net

  293. mannequin says

    Ah, this sounds great! I don’t go to a salon, I refuse to expose myself to too much sun and I’ve never found a bronzer that looks natural~And I really, really ever want is just a little splash like this. And wow, I just looked again and see that it’s not only for face , my legs could use this in a hurry!

  294. Rachel says

    Hi Stephanie, Thanks for the great post. I’m glad you like the bronzer and the brush. The brush you have is called a Kabuki Brush that retails for $25, however, with the purchase of the Bronzing Powder it is $10.

    Thanks again,
    Rachel M
