Summer is here.

I recently had the pleasure of modeling KXG Swimwear for their collab with my go to tan queen, The Bronze Method. I modeled with KXG’S beautiful founder, Karolina (@KXGSwim). Karolina and KXG are bringing hot and trendy swim suits to the Boston area. She is an absolute boss and an inspiration.

Let me tell you about these suits! These swimsuits are made from a special line of premium fabrics. KXG is committed to sustainability and environmental friendly values. The fabric is light, fluid and buttery to the touch. The polyamide-based premium fabric is the first biodegradable fabric of its kind. Plus, it has SPF 50+ sun protection!

You already know my love for The Bronze Method. Karolina and I got sprayed the day before the shoot. I have tried and love all the methods!

For the shoot I am wearing the Pure Method.

This is the cleanest solution on the market with only six ingredients. It is perfect for clients with allergies or skin sensitivities! It’s also available with a bronzer free solution!

Karolina is wearing a combo of the Workout and Glazed Method.

The Glazed Method contains glowing, hydrating, skin loving, and vegan ingredients, formulated to compliment all skin types & tones! Key ingredients: Eco-certified dha, hyaluronic acid, cucumber extract, + green tea extract.

The Workout Method is the tan that won't sweat off! Perfect for gym lovers, summer sprays, and tropical vacations! It boasts a long-lasting, neutral tone that can be rinsed in 4 hours or left on longer for a deeper tan!

It got a little cheeky behind the scenes!

We started the day with hair and makeup. Our gorgeous glowy makeup was compliments of Boston makeup legend @jhollywood. He kept our makeup light to give pool and beach party vibes. We had been spray tanned the day before and so he only needed to add his magical finishing touches.

For hair, we went with a sexy wet look. This look is classic and is not difficult to achieve.

First, wet about 80% of the hair. Section your hair starting with the nape area. I use the Virtue Labs 6-In-1 Styler and 6-In-1 Paste at the root and then comb through to the ends to evenly distribute the product. This gives amazing shine and gives us that wet look without dripping. I do this section by section adding a few more spritzes of water and finishing each section with the 6-In-1 Style guard spray.

My hair was THIRSTY and would start to dry after 15-20 minutes. Meredith was behind the scenes watering me down when I needed to hop back in front of the camera. Next time I do this look on myself, I will be using Virtue’s curl butter and curl defining gel. In fact, this is my suggestion to all my gals with thick and coarse hair!

We shot on location at Jed8 Studios. We love working with Henry and his team. He has brought our brands to life. I recommend him every time! It was a blast being in the studio and working with the different lights and backdrops. We even sashayed around outside!

So go forth and shop my beauties! This swim line is everything!

Splash around with glowing skin this summer!
