Amazing natural tan
Let's talk about this self tan mist by @garnier. 😍 I first bought this when it was on offer on #amazon last year and thought why not give it a go. Well...... Oh my days, it is AMAZING. It dries quickly, results are fast and it lasts ages. Oh and it also smells gorgeous. With normal fake tan I end up smelling like beef and onion crisps once it's dried down. This doesn't, it smells fruity. Let me tell you the amount of compliments I receive when I have this on, asking where I have been with my tan. When I tell people that I haven't been anywhere and used this. I have managed to convert loads of people into using this. I have bought this loads of times since then and will continue to do so.

Natural
This is really natural. Easy to apply and the result is amazing. Nice and glowing, dries well and isn’t drying on the skin. This wears off nice and evenly as well. This looks nice and sunkissed. This is my fave tan and I use it all the time. 10/10 for me

Self tanning spray
This lovely smelling, non sticky self tanning spray is ideal to use most of the time. Easy to use. Develops a really lovely non streaky tan on your face. Doesn't have that usual biscuity smell that most other self tanning products leave. Love St Tropez tanning products

Ultra dark - not so dark?
I’ve applied this on numerous occasions, some as one coat and some as multiple but it just doesn’t seem to be really dark? The tan luxe foam is much darker. It does sink nicely into the skin and it good on dry patches but I feel could be darker? I would recommend for more natural looking tan

Fab for the price
This is a really good priced tanner, it really does do a fab job, doesn’t streak and wears off well. It goes on clear and doesn’t have a fake tan scent to it. It lasts about 1 hr then I reapply. Because it’s clear you can apply in the morning and go about your day and wash off when your ready. This doesn’t dry the skin. It leaves it hydrated

Hurts
Do not buy this once I applied it, I thought it looked pretty good, but then my skin started really burning and when I started itching all of the products started peeling off it was disgusting. Do not use this is not a good product and then when I had a shower by bad state.

Perfect before your holiday
Every time I go on holiday I dread getting out my very pale legs… this foam is a great way to prevent that embarrassment and help me to feel confident in my bikini before I’m on the beach, or just when short season starts and I am trying to get a base tan. Doesn’t give that orange look like a lot of fake tan foams and lasts a week (ish) - I shower every day and shave every day and still lasts that long! Cannot recommend enough

Tanning mit
This is a super soft mitt, it is not overly big so can be snug on hand I found, but it doesn’t move about which it would if it was bigger. feels amazing on your skin, helps evenly apply the tan with no streaks, easy to clean, just rinse in water and air dry.

Natural tan
I got this tan on a whim to try it, let me tell you it is the best smelling tan I’ve ever used and it is honestly so natural looking when on. I do find still showering any excess off the next day at some stage but the majority doesn’t budge. It’s brilliant.

I love this tanning lotion
Dove tanning lotion It's amazing I have been using this for years hasn't got no horrible smell is easy to apply to your skin and you get a streak free golden summery bronze tan and it looks very natural doesn't look orange but I would advise to use gloves as it can dye your nails

Really good tan
Love this dove self-tan lotion it's easy to apply and Streak free no horrible smells disappear into skin very well and leaves a perfect bronze sun tan colour and looks real not orange and last about 3 days and you can top up daily if you like or until your colour you want

Such an easy product
I fake tan quite regularly and this is the best tan I’ve used. It doesn’t go nearly as tiger bready as most other tans when it’s coming off and you can apply over old tan no problem. I find it applies best if you shave and exfoliate at least 24 hours before you apply and moisturise 8 hours before so it has time to fully soak in. I don’t find it clings to my knees and elbows if ive moisturised properly

Bondi Sands Tanning Lotion
When it’s come to tanning, we all want a stress free tan that goes on seamlessly, not streaky, doesn’t smell and gives you an amazing tan! The Bondi Sands Tanning Lotions for me is by far the best tan I’ve used. It doesn’t go too dark on your hands, it leaves your skin tanned and glowing as if you have just been on holiday. It doesn’t dry green and you massage it in like a moisturiser. It doesn’t leave you feeling sticky either, I’ve but it on in the morning and got on with my day while it drys, it’s brilliant!

Very good
This is a nice tanning foam. I found a little goes a long way and it blends out nicely and most importantly evenly. I'm a red head with very fair skin, I found the Medium left a nice golden tan that was natural looking and streak free. I really like the finished look, it gives my skin a nice healthy glow. there's no unpleasant sense, and I didn't find it drying on my skin. I found it quite nourishing. I will definitely be buying more of this.

Perfect gradual tan + smells delicious !
This gradual tanning moisturiser gives the perfect bronze without any streaking or biscuity smell ! I use this overnight just as any other moisturiser and wake up with a good bronze colour and no lasting smell. It is extremely well priced as many other options can get very pricey !

Great gradual build tanner
I really like this product - one of the most affordable on the high street and does build to a lovely golden colour without being too green or orange. It does have a biscuity smell after an hour or two, so I normally use it the night before so I can shower in the morning. It does take a couple of uses to notice a difference but that’s why it’s a gradual build.

Not bondi’s best :/
Really wanted to love this but it didn’t work for me. I know it’s best on olive skin but it did come out green at times lol. Some fake tans you can wear out even if they’re not instant and you haven’t yet washed it off but not this, you don’t wanna be seen by another soul before you’ve washed this off! I usually sleep with it on to let the colour develop but it ends up patchy either way. Think I’ll be using it for emergencies only lol

The only tan I use now
Ever since they removed a crucial ingredient in all tan in the UK this is the only fake tan I can still use that doesn’t fade in a day or scale on my skin. The colour isn’t orange and you don’t need to leave it on overnight for it to work. The colour is perfect and it lasts ages!

Best fake tan
Fake tan can be a bit of a pain in my opinion, nothing worse than a streaky orange look. But this in incredible it’s so easy to apply has a great smell. Leaves you looking sun kissed and very easy to build into a beautiful dark tan with multiple applications. Would definitely recommend. Just make sure you get a good quality mit.

Tan go to
This product is my absolute tanning go to, whether it be just a regular moisturise or under a tan as the base layer before instant faje tan for an occasion I want to be more tanned. I apply it with my hands like any normal moisturiser but it will stain between your fingers so wash your hands well after application.
