...and I've tried a lot!
I don't scrimp when it comes to self tan. I'm used to paying upwards of $50 and I'll generally get one to two uses from that.
I was surprised that this product was only $33, the tube is generous and the product goes a long way. It's economical for sure!
The smell is lovely. Sure there's a fake tan scent underneath the coconut, but the coconut does its job admirably and masks the unpleasantness well.
This is easy to apply, absorbs evenly and doesn't go blotchy. There was no clothing transfer during the developing time and showering was very easy and mess free.
The colour was incredibly deep, not in darkness so much as tone. You look like you have grown up in the tropics, naturally a sun kissed goddess.
I love that this is vegan and cruelty-free. I love the ease of application and the depth of colour. Most of all I love that this worked as well on my mood as it did my body - it gave me a real boost and made the last few weeks of winter brighter!
I was excited to try this after reading the reviews but I must admit, standing in the shop and reading that it was an ultra dark tan nearly put me off. However, I bought it tried it and glad I did! It's easy to apply and is a bronze coloured gel so you can see where it's going. The tan develops to a very natural colour over a few hours. No streaks or splotches! Don't worry if you think you have gone too brown - it's just the bronzer making you brown whilst the tan develops. Once you shower, this washes off leaving the perfect colour tan behind with not a hint of orange.
Tips: Use hand and back mitts.. game changers.
