St. Tropez Purity Vitamins Body Mist

Thanks Beauty Review for this trial. This body mist comes in a 200ml plastic bottle with a spray nozzle. This is one of the best spray nozzles I have used, it is really a nice fine mist. Firstly I read the instructions as this was a new product for me and I wanted to follow the instructions properly. They say to exfoliate where you are going to spray and then moisturize. Once this is done you can then use this lovely product. They say to spray all over your body (if that's what you want, or just spary where you want to colour) then use a mitt to blend and ensure no bits are missed. The colour will develop over 4 - 8 hours. You are able to go to sleep or put on your clothes just after you have applied, you don't have to wait too long. It has a beautiful tropical scent, it reminds me of holidays in the tropical islands. This not only gives your skin a beautiful healthy glow but will nourish and moisturize your skin as well. I loved the result and it stayed for nearly a week! It has a shelf life of 6 months once opened. I am sure you will use it long before the expiry.

Love the eye catching appearance of the packaging, love the fragrance, from my first and second experience with it I can't say I love the product **YET** But I belive practice makes perfect.

The tan I achieved with this was so subtle I was unsure if I had tanned at all, I'm very pale naturally and am used to dark self tan however this is very light, definitely not the medium stated. I found that the next day it was definitely better and it took the edge of my ghostliness.

The bottle itself I don't enjoy, it's quite difficult to spray down with this type of nozzle to cover the entire body, I believe a foam pump applicator would be better. I am used to tan with a bronzer in it so I did struggle to make sure I had covered every inch of skin.

I must say the fade down is perfection, and there was zero streaking or patchiness.

I tried spraying onto my skin and blending and also spraying onto the glove and found the latter a bit easier.

I am going to try again this weekend and do two coats to see if I can achieve a better result without it not looking natural.

Nice scent and doesn't smell overly 'tanny'

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.

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.

St Tropez Bronzing Water Mist is such a pleasure to use, relative to the many other tanning products I've tried over the years. The multi-directional spray nozzle makes it so easy to apply all over the body, and the super-lightweight mist feels so refreshing & soft on the skin. And the smell is absolutely divine!!! A cocktail of pineapple, peach & mango. I can't get enough of it!

As I have fair skin & prefer a subtle, buildable tan, I apply it in moderation and blend with a mitt for a light glow. Heavier coverage gives you a darker tan (medium, as specified on the label), meaning it's so easy to tailor the use of this product to the kind of tan you want to achieve.

In summary I absolutely love this product, and it really has revolutionised how I think about self tan products. There is something just so liberating about the refreshing spray mist with a tropical holiday vibe!

The St Tropez Purity Vitamin Mist is a lightweight, quick and easy way to obtain a summer glow any time of the year. Also whilst other tanning products have a pungent and often unpleasant smell, the vitamin mist smells delicious - think tropical cocktail or peach smoothie!

It really is so quick and convenient - simply spritz on to the body (or mitt), apply to desired area, and wait for your subtle glowing tan to appear. Once applied it dries within 10 minutes therefore little time is required and no need to rinse off later.

Using a tanning mist was a pleasant new experience for me after using tanning mousse and gel in the past. Mousse and gel are often dark, thick and hard to control whereas I found the mist refreshing and light - it was also easy to control / dispense the desired amount, and application was precise and no mess or wasted product.

The mist is clear and applies clear so it was a breeze to remove from hands and wash off the mitt before the colour set in.

I applied to my lower legs early one morning before work and went about my day, by the late afternoon my pale white legs had acquired a slight golden glow. I have applied since to my arms, chest and thighs and was so pleased with the ease of use and end result - think subtle and sun kissed, not bold or orange.

I could not fault this product, the only minor downside being the purchase price is on the higher end of the spectrum for tanning products (approx. $59.95 for 200ml), however I do feel it is worth investing in this product due to the quality, results, and vitamin benefits. Not to mention a little product does go a long way - 200ml will cover ample applications, and the clear bottle will ensure you can replace before you run out.

A perfect addition to the bathroom for the night before a hot date, or those mornings you want to wear a skirt or bikini but haven’t seen the sun!

I was so excited to use this and really wanted to love it but sadly I think my personal experience was average. The packaging and scent is so gorgeous but I found the product a bit difficult to use and blend. I do normally go for a mousse or a cream so it could just be me. I couldn’t see where I had already been with it as it’s clear, it was hard to know how many sprays to use, it was tricky to blend out - I used the mitt and almost feel like it absorbed into the mitt and I was just rubbing on the skin and unlike a cream or mousse you can’t feel the smoothness where you have been as it’s a water and it dries down so quick so felt like I had to rush to know where it was going on. Although if you can get the hang of it it dries super quick, isn’t sticky at all you can hop into bed less than 10 minutes later with no transfer. The colour that it turns into is really natural and gorgeous but sadly for me was streaky for all the times I used it. And it definitely does last a week long but you could comfortably reapply after about 5 days as it’s starting to fade.- (it somewhat fades like a fake spray tan with tiny patchiness) Your skin does feel hydrated and glowy. I think for me I’ll stick with creams and mousses as it’s a bit less tricky.

Love this product. Packaging is pretty but very hard to read. Easy to use, lovely fragrance and easy to get an even coverage. Use in conjunction with the face serum and the mitt!

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

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.
