ModelCo SUPERTAN Instant Self Tan

It was an ok product to use, I like the natural tan look and have my skin abit darker which is nice but the only sucky thing is that it doesn't cover up tan lines and have to keep applying or put suga baby bronzer on top and it only made a difference with one application over night but I wouldnt mind using it again but just have to keep applying once a day or two

I liked that this product did what it said it would and it didn't smell bad like many other tanning products do. I used it the day I was going out and it was really strong even though I've got med-dark skin it looked a bit fake. It seemed to tone down a bit after a shower the next day but my knees looked a bit orangey. Including the Mit was great but it only lasted for the first application.

Unless your legs are super prepared for this tan, it wont work.

I went a weird orange color more often than not, i still have the same one bottle i for the past year, so it hasn't made it to the empty stage just yet. I do keep it around just in case i run out of tan.

It streaked mostly on the shins on my legs and then went really streaky on the sides. I have used mouses before and found them to be idiot proof, these are not. I had to apply too coats to get an even all over color, hence i would probably go more orange than a nice natural brown.

I first purchased this after bumping into a friend in a pharmacy, after seeing how lovely and tan she was (and me forever trying to find something that helps create some colour on my fair skin) I asked what she used and she directed me to this product.

Before I tried this I prepped my skin- shaved and exfoliated atleast 24hrs before in order to get the best results. I also bought the Blend buffing mitt in order to avoid streaking and avoid orange hands!

Using the mitt makes it really quick and easy to apply and the great thing about this product is that it dries fast, so your not standing there for ages waiting for it to dry. However it would still be recommendable to wait at least 20 minutes before getting dressed. To get the best coverage use small circular buffing motions with the mitt in order to cover all areas and not miss any spots.

I found I only needed one coat of this and after waiting a few hours I had a nice evenish tan. I did learn however to avoid drier areas as it tends to stick to that and make them look darker! avoid dry areas such as knees, backs of ankles and elbows. With my second time using it I would quickly brush over those areas rather than buff or apply moisturiser beforehand so it wouldn't stick as bad to it.

Overall the product was good but not amazing. The colour was alright, a tad orangish tinge to it so a little on the faker side however I am quite fussy as personally I prefer that more natural looking tan (which is very hard to find and achieve!). I still havent finished the bottle- sits in the back of my bathroom cupboard as I use other tanning products ( absolutely loving playboy airbrush tan atm! ) however I still reach from it time to time when I run out of my other products. It is reasonably priced however if you haven't used it before and needed a tan before a special event, I suggest trialling well before that in order to perfect the application and see if its right for you.

I found this product easy to use and you could see were you had applied it. I have pale skin and would probably use it more in the summer months as I found the colour quite intense for early in the season. Smells good, I would try it with the Model Co application mitt as I did find it stained by hands and when I tried to wash it off other parts of me that got wet tended to run!

This product does work and leave your skin looking very tan BUT its very strong and made my knees quite orange which i had to scrub off also if not shaken a lot the moose will be very runny and stains anything it comes into contact with. It washed off in the shower the day after i used it. But other than this the product made my legs look instantly tan and from a distance it was quite even.

For someone who barely gets spray tans or instant tanning products i was a very satisfied customer! I had purchased this because I had a wedding to go to and could not book in for a spray tan at the last minute so i opt'd out for a instant tan & what do you know it did wonders for me! The scent was not potent and i didn't have any streaks (however I do have a darker complexion so I did not feel insecure about the creepy orange look :-). ) I would recommend this product and use this again as i did a great job in such little time.

ModelCo is a bran I have not been impressed with, it also is in the outlet by my office so I own a lot of their products, but they're just not products I love or would recommended, they're not necesarily bad, but I do feel I have used far better and more effective products for the same price, so wouldn't bother with ModelCo. Their packaging is pretty, and they have products that aren't really offered with other brands in New Zealand, but as I mostly shop online and from oversea's, I no longer use this brand.
