When this cute little bottle arrived I was intrigued by if I was supposed to use this on my body or my face. How powerful was the tan if adding a few drops to a moisturiser would tan me? Would one leg be darker if I added more drops by accident?
Turns out, I overthought it. This isn't really a 'tanner', and it isn't a gradual tanner, it gives you a healthy glow boost when you mix it with your moisturiser.
I've been using it on my face, mixed in with my current day cream. It doesn't seem to impact the formula of my day cream much, everything absorbs as usual.
The results are instantaeous, I look like I've been to the beach; in a healthy sun kissed way, not a beach-baked way!
I don't think you can go too far wrong with this - for the review process I overegged the pudding and did NINE drops one day. I didn't end up like an oompa loompa, so don't be afraid of this product!
All up, will continue to use, do recommend and am likely to repurchase!
This stuff smells AMAZING - I have very sensitive skin and I don't usually like products with strong fragrance, but these glow drops smell like delicious natural coconut with no artificial smell at all. Even if they didn't work I would still probably use it for the fragrance, it's THAT yummy.
The packaging is nice and lightweight, but sturdy enough that it wouldn't leak.
I tested it out in a variety of ways, here's how they went: - Directly massaged into skin: very simple, the drops absorbed well enough - Mixed together with moisturiser: this was very easy and made it simple to apply the product to a wider area (e.g. arms). Best way to apply to the body (or face if not wearing makeup) - Mixed together with BB cream: this is where I had the most trouble, it was quite difficult to mix into my BB cream (which I wear most days). However it was still doable, and my method of choice for applying the drops to my face
Overall I really liked the customisability of these drops, the more you use the more of a "glow" you get. It doesn't really last all that long but it's so simple to apply that it's not an issue
Tips: Mix a couple of drops into your moisturiser for easy coverage Make sure to test with a different number of drops to see what level of "glow" works for you
