I have done some research and have found that it is vegan friendly it also has an olive toned formula which is something I like. I love this golden glow tan. It has no 'fake tan' smell and it is great to have that sun-kissed glow throughout the year with no risk of sun damage! I am a very pale woman that LOVES fake tan to make me feel like a ghost to a golden goddess! When I applied it I noticed that it was fast absorbing, it was hydrating and it didn't feel sticky while I was waiting for it to develop. The smell was pleasant which is a nice change to the usual strong odd or off smell of other tanning products. The product was easy to spread and with a few pumps the mousse went quite far. So far I have noticed that there is no streaks! Woohoo! I then I rinsed it off after 3 hours and it left with a beautiful tan. Overall I definitely recommend this tan to everyone, especially for the fact that it works for everyone, you can have a light sun kissed tan after one hour, medium tone with two hours but when I got to 3 hours and rinsed it off I felt like it just stayed as a medium tan so it definitely didn't get as dark as I try to get sometimes.

Reviews
Tips: The instructions say to exfoliate your skin before application and moisture dry areas which I did and it worked really well. Also when you want darker tan, I did it again after about two days and left it on over night and rinsed it in the morning and it got a darker result that I wanted.
So the blurb on this tan had my hopes up and I'm happy to say I'm not disappointed!
I am the unfortunate owner of skin so pale my darling partner once asked me why my legs looked blue lol!
I've experimented with so many tans over the years with varying results but the most common results were a yuck smelling orange cast to my skin with, shall we say, uneven colour, especially around the knees and elbows.
I'm stoked to say there was not even a hint of oompa loompa orange to be seen with this, not with a one hour application and not with a 4 hour one.
The only time I really got a hint of that fake tan chemical smell was in the rinse off stage in the shower, happy to report than on drying and with a liberal smothering of body oil it was gone for good.
It may have been the glove applicatior but this was by far the least streaks I've managed with a fake tan
The mousse has a light brown colour on application, great for oleiss blue legs over here as I could tell where I'd applied product already and keep the coat nice and even.
Alll in all this is a definite keeper for me, the fact that the packaging is my favorite colour is an added bonus!
Tips: Make sure you are shaved and exfoliated before using! For the best results, also rub in a little lotion or body oil into your dry spots, knees, elbows heels so that the dry skin doesn't suck up more tan than you need.
Also, USE THE GLOVE!
I was looking through my makeup drawer to find tanning products to use on my legs now that Spring is here, and found this, which I think I got in a BB. The bottle is very small, 50ml which would be handy for travelling I guess. Plastic lid with a pump which dispenses the caramel coloured foam, and easy to apply and rub in. I left on for two hours before washing off, and was left with a nice caramel coloured tan on my legs. Started to fade after nearly a week. I like that you can choose the depth of colour by washing off after one, two or three hours.
Tips: Use a tanning mit, and exfoliate skin before applying.
As I struggle to tan I purchased this product hoping to get a natural looking tan so I could finally wear shorts and skirts within giving people arc-eyes from staring at my white as milk legs.
Pump works great and product applied easily. Spreads great and didn't leave streaks. I guess using a mitt would work easier as I had an orangy tint on my nails even though I washed my hands immediately after application.
Instead of washing It off I decided to leave it on overnight to see what end result I would get. Even so I didn't get a really dark tan but I guess on ablank white canvas you cant expect miracles.
Liked the product, looked more natural than most other fake tans. Will purchase again.
I have a very fair complexion, and have had a love/hate relationship with fake tan throughout my teenage years and into my adult life. I have recently fallen back in love with tanning after getting a professional spray tan for my wedding - that healthy glow! I have been hesitant to try this at home, however, because the memories of the streaky orange legs and patchy hands and elbows of my youth are strong!
I was excited to give this a go again, though, and found this one really easy to apply - the mousse texture was really pleasant and easy to spread around for a good coverage. The idea of washing it off and it developing later was new for me with at-home fake tans, though this is in line with my recent tanning salon experience, so I left it on for an hour for a light tan before washing it off and going to bed. The smell wasn't the familiar pungent fake tan smell that I'm used to, so that was also a welcome change!
When I woke up the next morning I had a faint kiss of a pretty natural looking glow, and no orange on my sheets. Success! I was a little patchy on my hands and elbows, but I'll put this mostly down to user error and also having super dry skin on these areas, being at the end of summer.
I will definitely be trying this one out again, and perhaps even testing out leaving it on for a little longer to see what a slightly darker shade looks like. If you're like me and wanting to add a little glow to your skin but are haunted by the fake-tan disasters of the early 2000's, give this one a try!
Tips: I didn't regret only leaving the product on for an hour before washing off, to try out the "light" shade first. Start light and see how you feel - you can always leave it on longer next time!
First off super easy to use just pump onto your mitt and glide away. The guide colouring isn't that great, I found it wasn't easy to see where you have applied vs where you haven't applied (other brands do this really well). The smell as soon as you press that pump is pretty strong, I don't know if I was a massive fan of that aspect. I do like how quick it is to process the tan (one hour to three hours) - I left mine for 2.5 hours. As outlined in the description post shower the tan does look light which was slightly dishearting but it did develop well over the remaining hours. I would recommend giving it a go if it was on sale or listed for a decent price however I think there are other brands which go on nicer, give a better guide and don't have such a rich scent.
This fake tan underwhelmed me a little- but I intend to give it another go, I applied if one Friday night and decided to leave for the 2 hour mid range it reccomended not the full three. I was excited to wash it off as sometimes fake tan smell is overwhelming. The initial smell was quite good and application with the mitt was easy. It didnt immediately go very dark so was good. I left to dry for a bit and chucked on a loose dress and headed to the supermarket . It was okay to wear under and doesn’t appear to have stained my clothes. It felt a little sticky. After the 2 hours I jumped in the shower and washed it off, I couldn’t see much come off. And then went to bed. The shower did lessen the smell and made the stickiness disappear. Overnight there was nothing left in the white sheets which is a massive win. I did notice a slight difference in colour in the morning but not huge, I think that it is nice for a light tan, and there was no obvious streaking, my knees and ankles also fared well.
Tips: I would leave this next time for the full amount of time to develop a bit darker. I used this in the whitest bits of me like my stomach and no orange or streaking so don’t be afraid. It is definitely a light tan product which would be good for winter, or those with very light skin. I intend on trying this again with a slightly different routine to see if it develops a bit deeper
I haven't bottle tanned in years! My fondest memories come to me from the 90's. A decade of orange, patchy, stinky skin... awful. So I was super keen to give this a whirl, thank you BR. I got prepped and decided to go for a 3 hour bake for a dark tan. I did it to the minute, then rinsed (showered). I then went to bed in anticipation of waking up to my fully developed glorious dark tan. It was light. I was disappointed and thought perhaps I was a little miserable on the application, so I did another round (a little more generous with the mousse) and let it bake for 5 hours before rinsing. Yep, I wanted to go DARK. I didn't. I would say my efforts resulted in a medium tan. Don't get me wrong, I think the product is awesome and the colour is beautifully natural, but I would anticipate quite a few applications to get a very dark tan. NOTE: My skin tone is medium warm tone. My Summers begin with a burn and end in a tan.
This product was easy to use. I loved that it showed colour on application;The colour on application and developed is Stunning!
(I always prep my skin before hand) Unfortunately that's as far as it goes for good things. Thursday-Applied early morning Friday-Washed off residue early morning Saturday-Event
Friday- Tan looked beautiful. Saturday- Day of an event, my tan had broken up on my skin. It looked scaly and started to separate. I was horrified because this has NEVER happened to me before. I was very disappointed in this product.
Firslty, I have to mention the smell. This is by far the best smelling self tan I have ever used. It doesnt smell like tan at all, more like a sublte perfume. I love it.
This tan arrived at the perfect time as I had a wedding to attend that weekend, so that Friday evening was tan time. I prepared my skin by shaving, exfoliating and moisturising the dry areas around my knees and ankles.
As this was a product I'd not used before, I decided to play it safe and just apply one coat to my legs, using the mitt that also came with it. It glided on very easily and the mitt ensures that you dont miss any areas.
The instructions are to wash off after 1 hour for light tan, 2 hours for medium tan and 3 hours for dark. Now of course I want dark so I was waiting the 3 hours - however, after 3 hours I couldn't really see a difference at all so I bit the bullet and decided to sleep in it, as I usually would when I tan. I washed the next morning around 8am and was left with a very subtle natural tan.
I would usually prefer a darker tan, so the following week I went in and done 2-3 coats of tan, otherwise following the same routine as above. I much preferred the results this time - a darker, golden tan that still looked natural - and most importantly - not orange!
Although I'm not convinced of the express nature of this tan as I still required it to process overnight, I will definitely continue to keep using this, the smell combined with the natural colour is a winning combo.
Tips: Have a play with the developing times - if youre like me, you'll wanna leave it on for longer than the recommended 3 hours.
