Hi, Beautiful You!

Darlings, CC's super psyched to introduce you to Hi Beautiful You, a new and noteworthy beauty brand dedicated to gorgeous, glowing skin! While traditional tanning and self-tanners often come with harsh effects or unwanted side notes, Hi Beautiful You offers a radiant, sun-kissed glow—no sun required and no chemicals added! With multi-tasking formulas infused with skincare benefits and buildable BE YOU Technology, glow your way, naturally, effortlessly, and safely. 

Hi Beautiful You Body & Leg Perfecting Bronzer w/ Smart Tint Technology; this instant hydrating body-perfecting bronzer gel (leg makeup!) is THE alternative to self-tanner. This wash-off body bronzer glides on effortlessly to instantly improve skin tone, diminish redness, blur imperfections and nourish dry skin, leaving you with a sultry summer glow year-round! 

Hi Beautiful You Skin Perfecting Tint: at last, a silky-smooth, sheer gel that instantly perfects and enhances the appearance of the skin for a natural, no-makeup look! This buildable skin tint helps improve skin tone and texture and blur imperfections such as redness, enlarged pores, fine lines, and wrinkles, leaving a matte, filtered appearance. Smart Tint Technology™ makes matching skin tone a cinch with four chic shades:  
LUMINOUS - Very Fair to Fair Skin Tones with Pink Undertones
RADIANT - Fair to Medium Skin Tones with Neutral Golden Undertones
RICH - Medium, Tan or Olive Skin Tones with Warm Golden Undertones
DECADENT - Dark Tan or Deep Skin Tones with Red Undertones
CC sampled these terrific "tanners" and the endorses them enthusiastically! No more oompah-loompah orange hands, no strange scent, and no skin irritation!
