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.
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 !!
