    Xen-Tan E! Live from the Red Carpet Perfect Blend
    If you've ever been jealous of Ryan Seacrest's bronzed skin (no judgment), know that it probably comes from a bottle. Try this E!-branded self-tanner that allows you to customize your own shade by twisting the dial on the container (choose from a subtle Jennifer Aniston glow to a JWoww-level brown). Plus, the cucumber-melon scent won't give away your skin-darkening secret.
