This Beach-Bronzed Patrick Ta Glow Balm Sent Me on My First Vacation in Months

I first tried the new Patrick Ta Major Glow All-Over Glow Balm at 10 p.m., which, to be fair, is not the time I'm feeling the sharpest or when my apartment has the best lighting. I looked in the bathroom mirror and was convinced it wasn't even visible on my skin, despite how much it looked like a dark self-tanner in its container.

Well, when I tried again the next morning, everything changed. In addition to being more bronze and sparkly in direct light, I noticed an indiscernibly sweet aroma that reminded me of holiday cookies. While I was picturing Matthew McConaughey holding this jar out to me and saying "frost yourself," a woman in the elevator commented that I smelled really nice. So from my sample size of two, it's a nice scent.
