Thank you Beauty Review for this trial. I really appreciate it. I found this mitt to be soft and the inside was padded. It was super soft, it felt very luxurious. I felt it was useful to apply the spray tan and my hands didn't get stained. I was overall happy with the distribution however I did notice a few bits of fluff on my legs. I have used a mitt with a thumb, and that is the one that I prefer, but that is just my opinion. I am sure there are some people who prefer this one.

St. Tropez Double Velvet Mitt
Reviews
Tips: Maybe give it a gentle wash, that may get rid of any bits of fluff.
This is a lovely soft applicator mitt. It has a plastic inner so hands and wrist shouldn't get any product on them . Love that it was slightly longer and covered my wrist, not like other brands I have tried. It really does make coverage once you have sprayed the tan mist, so effortless, and you get a good even coverage. Easy to clean and reuse as It dries fairly quickly. Would recommend.
Tips: The inside may wear quite quickly as it is plastic so I would be careful when rinsing and washing it out .
This Mitt has such a nice smooth feel to it on the outside, the inside feels like it wont last many applications or cleanings. The size is a bit tight, my hand was very cosy in there, so imagine anyone with large hands wouldn't be able to get them in there.
It did the job well though, I didn't have streaks and seemed to leave a nice finish - I had one patch that looked a bit messy but that might have been me being overzealous with the spray rather than the mitt.
I like it, if they made it a bit sturdier I would probably purchase again.
Tips: Glove up underneath, some tan got through for me and I had a darker palm
I really love the colour however it does discolour once it’s had tan applied to it so it looks a bit grubbier than one in black would. It really is lovely velvety soft and was really nice to use to apply product. I felt like it applied the product evenly as well. It did feel a little thin but I always wash my hands after applying anyway just incase product leaks through. It was nice and snug on my hand which was good as I felt I had better control over it. I’ll definitely use it again.
Tips: Don’t forget to wash your hands. Never spray tan directly on feet, elbows knees etc just use the excess on the mitt after applying to the smooths of your legs.
I have only used this once for my formal however I found it easy to use and clean. Would recommend this to others
Does what is says on the packet however I felt that the glove itself was rather small. If you have larger hands you might struggle to fit - my partner struggled to fit his hands into the glove. The glove itself does the job but it doesn't feel as nice as other branded gloves which I have tried. It did appear to even distribute the product and leave the body streak free which is always good.
Great mitt, even application, cute colour BUT when I asked my partner to do my back he struggled getting it onto his hand! I feel like this is an important element as most people fake tanning ask their partners to help rub in product on their backs. Otherwise, practical mitt that does the job it is meant to do !!
The St Tropez double velvet mitt is a striking light blue shade and really does feel plush to touch, it is visibly thicker and feels fluffier than any of my other mitts on comparison.
I feel the packaging does slightly detract from the luxe feel as you have to cut or rip it open to access the mitt - a reusable tab or drawstring would have a more aesthetic appeal and allow the package to be used to securely store the mitt.
When using to apply my tan the double velvet mitt seemed to absorb a substantial amount of product, and due to the thickness it did not bend and contour to my curves as easily other thinner mitts do although it was soft and comfortable on my hand. I did find product application slightly patchy around curves.
Unfortunately although the mitt does look and feel luxurious I prefer to apply my tan with a thin mitt for more precise coverage.
Tips: Once the mitt has been used and washed place it flat on top of the plastic packaging bag on a sunny windowsill to dry quickly and avoid any stains from tan residue.
Tanning mitts are the best thing to happen to self tanning, however they are not all created equally.
This tanning mitt is smaller than others on the market which can make it difficult to get your whole hand in, in particular my husband couldn't get his whole hand in to do my back and came away with tan thumbs.
The inside of the glove lining is thin and feels like it wont last, the outside of the glove was matted after 1 application. I wanted to love this glove but there are better options on the market for better prices unfortunately.
In saying this, yes it got the job done.
Tips: Spray onto the glove.
it has a great price point but doesn’t stand out against other competitor brands. It does what it’s meant to do and protects your hands. applies tan well and streak free
Tips: dries well and remains soft after washing
