St. Tropez Purity Vitamins Body Mist

Likes:

Easy application with the mist spray bottle Natural-looking tan that gradually builds up over time Nourishing vitamins that make skin feel soft and healthy No streaks or patches Long-lasting color that lasts for days Great for self-tan newbies who want a foolproof option

Dislikes: Slight self-tanner scent, but not overpowering Mist can be a little messy if not used carefully May need to use more product for a deeper color, but can be cost-effective in the long run with gradual build-up

Overall, the St Tropez Purity Vitamins Body Mist is a great option for anyone who wants a natural-looking, gradual tan, especially through the winter months. It's more natural looking than the full on fake tan.

It’s admittedly been years since I’ve tried fake tan, but I did enjoy this product. I have really pale sensitive skin, so fake tan always makes me a bit nervous.

The first time I used this product (I’ve been trying it on my legs only for now), I sprayed it way too close to my legs and definitely did not buff it in enough with my mitt. It was hard to tell that I’d done a rubbish job because this product is colourless. The result was not great (patchy) but this was definitely due to my shoddy use. Just keep in mind it pays to read and follow instructions!!

The second time I used this product was much more successful. I exfoliated the remnants of the last tan off and then tried again. I sprayed the tan in sweeping motions starting from the bottom of my legs first. I did half a leg at a time and used the St Tropez velvet mitt to buff the product in. To do both my legs took about five minutes. I went to bed and woke up with a lovely tan! This time, the tan was even and I was really happy with how natural it looked.

The tan itself is a nice colour on me and not orangey. It faded gradually and evenly. The tan does have some of that typical fake tan smell, but nothing offensive. I didn’t notice the tropical scent the tan is supposed to have, but I’m not big in fragrance so that’s fine by me.

Because this tan goes on colourless, I didn’t have to worry about staining anything. The tan also dries quickly (it’s consistently is literally like water). There is no sticky feeling or anything like that.

This product is vegan and continues mostly natural ingredients which is nice for anything you’re putting on your skin! As I’ve said, I have sensitive skin but this product didn’t cause any irritation for me.

Finally, I think it’s important to point out that St Tropez is cruelty free and the bottle is made from recycled plastic and is recyclable. If that is important to you (it is to me) and you’re interested in fake tan, I would definitely recommend this product (just make sure you get a mitt too!). I’ll be using this product again for sure.

This self tan comes in a tall plastic bottle with a spray nozzle. I found the spray nozzle and the position of it to be a little tricky to use on some parts of my body - just getting the angle right so I wasn't spraying my bathroom floor or walls instead of myself! The tan smells quite nice although does have that signature self-tan smell to it especially as it develops. I did need to wash the clothes I wore that day to get the smell off them. I really like the effect of this self tan - it's quite a subtle tan and very natural. It developed over the course of the day. Using the mitt with this spray tan meant that I didn't get any missed spots or streaks so my tan looks really good. I would definitely use again and recommend to friends and I'm sure I'll get better at angling the spray nozzle correctly with practice!

I do like this, but not as much as the st tropez mousse. It is easy to apply, but I didn’t like applying it wi the the mitt. When I applied with the mitt, it was patchy, but that was because I couldn’t see where it was going. When I applied with just my hands, it worked out better because I feel where it was going. It’s a natural and buildable tan. Like I put it on 3 days in a row, and it still looked good! However, this tan, I would use in summer when I want to add a boost and some extra glow to my natural tan. Overall, it is a good product but not my fav

I really like the look of the packaging, it feels summery. But this one is worse than the serum to try and read the text on it, its very small and the wrong colour.

I don't use self tan a lot, the one's I have used are more of a mousse and its very easy to see where you have and haven't got - so this clear spray was a little different. I was concerned I hadn't got some spots so probably went overboard, but it came out fairly even.

I was worried about the smell being strong, but it starts better than a regular self tan smell. The 'tropical' wasn't too overbearing once it had settled and dried...it kind of settled to a food smell I can't quite pinpoint, but it wasn't awful.

The colour I ended up with was a nice gentle glow, no carrot colour in site, which going from paper white to that nice colour was good as it wasn't too much of a "Ooo fake tan" type shock.

I would like to see if this could be used on my face to cut down the cost of having two different products, but I did like the serum, so will do some more testing.

What I love most about this product is the smell, it’s such a beautiful tropical peach smell - definitely one of the best smelling tanning products I’ve used. It is so light and not sticky at all and dries down really quickly so it doesn’t leave a watery residue on the skin. It really gives such a beautiful light golden tan and looks very natural. Would be great for someone with very fair skin or for those that prefer a lighter tan. I personally prefer a deeper tan so I used this product on top of my tan every day and it kept it even, and my tan lasted much longer than it normally would. I really love this product and have happily added it to my fake tan collection

Beautiful product.

Pros - easy application - no streaking - beautiful colour and buildable (I may have put one to many layers and ended up slightly orange but this was user error) - smells great upon application - quick results, surprised how quickly I saw colour - no mess - no transfer

Cons - still has the typical fake tan smell upon development - hard to tell where you have been for even application - not the cheapest out there but ease of use makes up for this

The spray was easy to use and smooth over for an even finish with the mitt. Its a very subtle and natural looking tan on my skin, I am fair skinned , this tan did not make orange. It has a lovely fresh and fruity smell unlike some other fake tan formulas. Love the fact its full of vitamins C & D and its cruelty free vegan. The bottle is made from recycled plastic, huge plus. I didn't see any transfer to sheets when after i used it at before bed another plus. Will use again over summer

This one was like a love hate relationship....The smell of this spray is devine it does not smell like the usual self tanner its so good but I just dont know if the sprayer is the best way of application, the spray is quite thin which is good but you can really see where you have missed and even while using the mitt its so easy to miss spots. I still love the product and if you can get a good even spray it does look really nice, its just so hard to know what you have sprayed and what you may have missed. I used this spray straight after shaving and usually everything I try on will give me little spots but this did not at all, the developed colour is really nice not orange at all and the formula of this spray does not dry out my skin anymore than my usual dryness which is also a win! I am going to continue to use this product because its actually really nice I just need to pay attention as to what I have sprayed and what areas need more. When I have missed patches I can spray those areas and they build up quite well.
