As far as fake tans go, I really liked this one. The colour is the best part, it is super bronzey, not too orange and not too green. It really looks like I have been on an island holiday.
The guide colour was pretty light once it was blended in, which did make it a little hard to tell where I had been or if I had missed a patch. I checked the colour of my skin every hour for three hours, and then went to bed to sleep in it to give it a real chance at seeing how dark it would get. As always, the guide got very dark and it looked patchy, but when it washed off I was pleasantly surprised at how even it was. I had missed one patch on my inner arm, but i just got a little bit of the tan on the mit, blended it into the patch and a few hours later you would never know!
The scent was really light when it was first applied, but the next day it was a bit more like a lighter version of the standard fake tan smell.
It dried really fast, i was able to put a shirt on and watch tv after 5 to 10 minutes.
I also tested removing it with my fake tan remover, and it came off well too. I appreciate we all want fake tan to last, but I am not here for looking patchy and when my tan has done it's dash, i am removing it!
I would definitely use this again.
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.
