Amazing natural tan

Let's talk about this self tan mist by @garnier. 😍 I first bought this when it was on offer on #amazon last year and thought why not give it a go. Well...... Oh my days, it is AMAZING. It dries quickly, results are fast and it lasts ages. Oh and it also smells gorgeous. With normal fake tan I end up smelling like beef and onion crisps once it's dried down. This doesn't, it smells fruity. Let me tell you the amount of compliments I receive when I have this on, asking where I have been with my tan. When I tell people that I haven't been anywhere and used this. I have managed to convert loads of people into using this. I have bought this loads of times since then and will continue to do so.

Natural 

This is really natural. Easy to apply and the result is amazing. Nice and glowing, dries well and isn’t drying on the skin. This wears off nice and evenly as well. This looks nice and sunkissed. This is my fave tan and I use it all the time. 10/10 for me

Bondi sands tanning mousse

Cannot recommend this product enough! I wanted a reasonably priced fake tan that didn't smell of biscuits and with this mousse it's exactly what I got. You get so much in there as well. I don't religiously tan I tan on occasions and when I'm going out and this has easily lasted me 6 months. It does get a bit sticky when first on but it doesn't take long to dry out. Definitely will buy again.

No breakouts! 

After trying many different options over the years - I have finally found a self tan for my face that does not make me break out. I’ve read reviews saying this tan clears acne - I don’t know if I would Go as far as to say it is an anti- acne product but as it does not cause me to break out further that is good enough for me. The colour is quite light which is good for my ghostly complexion but builds up after a few days. It’s easy to apply and thankfully no self Tan biscuit smell.

The Perfect Redness Coverage ! X

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color l Correcting Treatment. I adore this cream it's a light green colour it is a tiny bit greasy on skin but it's bearable !. Really helps my red skin flare ups with rosceg it soothes and times down the redness by mattifying it you apply until the green cream turns beige then your good to go! X

Best mitt I've used ever

I'm loving the Bondi sands Technocolor tanning mitt from Bondi sands,these have to be the best tanning mitts I have used in a long time ,I love that they are soft and blend my tan in Flawless.I love the packaging the mitt comes in I always keep it and it's great for going away overnight to pop my mitt in or even other wee niknaks .I love the colours on the mitt and how pretty it is ,I love that I can wash it and reuse it multiple times and I love that these are affordable and very worth the money .If your looking for a tanning mitt I'd recommend this one definitely from Bondi sands.

An important step!

I’m sure this product does the job of protecting the skin, however it is worth noting that it is strongly fragranced. Whilst it does smell lovely, I think it’s unnecessary in a skincare product. However, it applies very well to the face as it is a very thin fluid formula which I like!

Great product!!

The skin tint is a lovely, low coverage product, only issue I’ve found with it is when applying it with fingers or a brush it can go on extremely uneven, and look streaky, where applying with a sponge it goes on absolutely perfect, ideal to keep in a travel bag too as doubles as your sun cream, and if you’re in holiday not much more you need than a healthy glow!! I’m fairly light skinned but if you’re quite pale then this product won’t work for you as the lightest shade is quite dark.

Self tanning spray

This lovely smelling, non sticky self tanning spray is ideal to use most of the time. Easy to use. Develops a really lovely non streaky tan on your face. Doesn't have that usual biscuity smell that most other self tanning products leave. Love St Tropez tanning products

Ultra dark - not so dark? 

I’ve applied this on numerous occasions, some as one coat and some as multiple but it just doesn’t seem to be really dark? The tan luxe foam is much darker. It does sink nicely into the skin and it good on dry patches but I feel could be darker? I would recommend for more natural looking tan

Hurts

Do not buy this once I applied it, I thought it looked pretty good, but then my skin started really burning and when I started itching all of the products started peeling off it was disgusting. Do not use this is not a good product and then when I had a shower by bad state.

Perfect before your holiday

Every time I go on holiday I dread getting out my very pale legs… this foam is a great way to prevent that embarrassment and help me to feel confident in my bikini before I’m on the beach, or just when short season starts and I am trying to get a base tan. Doesn’t give that orange look like a lot of fake tan foams and lasts a week (ish) - I shower every day and shave every day and still lasts that long! Cannot recommend enough

Tanning mit

This is a super soft mitt, it is not overly big so can be snug on hand I found, but it doesn’t move about which it would if it was bigger. feels amazing on your skin, helps evenly apply the tan with no streaks, easy to clean, just rinse in water and air dry.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Ummed and arred about buying this product as its a little more than I would usually pay but eventually bit the bullet and purchased and so glad I did!! Use either on its own for a fresh face or mix with foundation for a flawless base. Just gives ur skin a beautiful glow that gets noticed. I use light/medium shade

Natural tan

I got this tan on a whim to try it, let me tell you it is the best smelling tan I’ve ever used and it is honestly so natural looking when on. I do find still showering any excess off the next day at some stage but the majority doesn’t budge. It’s brilliant.

I love this tanning lotion

Dove tanning lotion It's amazing I have been using this for years hasn't got no horrible smell is easy to apply to your skin and you get a streak free golden summery bronze tan and it looks very natural doesn't look orange but I would advise to use gloves as it can dye your nails

The perfect summer glow! 

This tan gives the perfect summer glow. I’ve got very pale skin and was worried about using this, but felt I needed a little more than the light/medium shade was giving me. Does have the same biscuity smell of most tans, but I can get over that. I do find it a bit dark for my face, but I get around this by blending it into the light/medium.

Really good tan

Love this dove self-tan lotion it's easy to apply and Streak free no horrible smells disappear into skin very well and leaves a perfect bronze sun tan colour and looks real not orange and last about 3 days and you can top up daily if you like or until your colour you want

Such an easy product 

I fake tan quite regularly and this is the best tan I’ve used. It doesn’t go nearly as tiger bready as most other tans when it’s coming off and you can apply over old tan no problem. I find it applies best if you shave and exfoliate at least 24 hours before you apply and moisturise 8 hours before so it has time to fully soak in. I don’t find it clings to my knees and elbows if ive moisturised properly

Bondi Sands Tanning Lotion

When it’s come to tanning, we all want a stress free tan that goes on seamlessly, not streaky, doesn’t smell and gives you an amazing tan! The Bondi Sands Tanning Lotions for me is by far the best tan I’ve used. It doesn’t go too dark on your hands, it leaves your skin tanned and glowing as if you have just been on holiday. It doesn’t dry green and you massage it in like a moisturiser. It doesn’t leave you feeling sticky either, I’ve but it on in the morning and got on with my day while it drys, it’s brilliant!
