Nivea Body Lotion Bronze Effect 

Nivea body bronzing balm provides incredible hydration. The effects after several uses are very natural, which is an ideal solution for someone who likes a natural tan. I am very pleased with the effect of the balm and I will definitely buy another package. I recommend🧡🤎

Best Self Tanner Glow

Gives the perfect glow and wears off in a natural/gradual way. It doesn’t smell typical self tanner and does not stain on clothes. It can stain on sheet if you sleep with it, so would recommend using a towel underneath to be on the safe side:) I use the self tan both winter and summer, and it matches my skin tone and gives me the perfect glow ✨

Love-hate

Avène Sun Care SPF 50+ Mineral Milk, formulated chemical filter-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free, is specially designed to chemical filters and fragrance-intolerant skins, and all the fragile skin of adults and children- The complex of mineral sunscreen, stable and effective over time, offers the best mineral protection against UVB as well as short and long UVA. - Pre-Tocopheryl, a precursor of vitamin E (powerful anti-oxidant) to protect cells from free radicals. ✨My experience with it had been love-hate. It is one of the only sunscreens that effectively protects my pigmentation from popping out on my face during harsh summer days, it's top notch. But also it leaves such a white cast that i look like a ghost 100% of the time. So I'm using it only on my pigmentation places and other spf everywhere else

Rich hydrating spf with no white cast

I have been looking for a sunscreen that is hydrating without feeling oily and sitting on my skin. I really like how rich this cream feels and that it still absorbs after a while. I think it acts perfectly under makeup but on its own also makes the skin look nice and glowy. It’s also not too expensive and I bought it at Etos with a 1+1 offer 🤩

The best fake tan

The best fake tan I’ve ever used! It has a great coconut smell and goes on so smooth. I use the Bondi Sands tanning mitt and I’ve never got any streaks with this tan like I have with others which is great! It also fades well and I haven’t had an issue with having patches

Holy grail

This sunscreen changed my life! I have oily skin and always struggled with sunscreens for my face as they all left my face white. However, since I discovered Biore’s uv aqua rich watery essence I’ve not looked back, it absorbs into my skin without leaving a white cast and it does not become oily or is noticeable in any way. Would recommend 100% as it is great sun protection and not noticeable at all, I always bring it when I travel. #imgoingonatrip

Nice after sun with tan booster

I usually don’t buy own label products like Etos, but this one I wanted to try. And I’m positively surprised. It has a nice consistency, absorbs quickly, smells lovely, and also keeps my tan longer. Overall quite happy, and already bought it multiple times.

Great for using throughout the day

Light weight sunscreen, great for carrying around and reapplying throughout the day. It doesn’t peel and doesn’t have a white case so I don’t need to worry about the amount I use. Fragrance free formula is a plus for me. It does octocrylene which is a bummer for me personally.

Good product but smells too strong

I got it without realizing it had fragrance. The texture is good but it smells too strong. I use it only on my neck now. It might be good for people who are used to fragranced products I’m usually fragrance free. It also contains octocrylene which is a bummer for me.

Tried to love it but....

I really tried to like it but couldn’t...the filters are good but it’s really not cosmetically elegant... it has a strong white cast and it peels really bad. worst of all it really stings my eyes. I had to run to the bathroom and rinse my eye at one point.... It’s not cheap either.

Benton Mineral Sun Stick [Product Review]

Benton Mineral Sun Stick SPF50 PA++++ (15g) This is a titanium dioxide-based physical sun stick with SPF50+ PA++++ high sun protection factor, formulated with three types of hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and a variety of soothing ingredients to nourishes and soothes the skin while protecting it from UV rays. It has a lip balm-like texture that blends perfectly on the skin without being greasy or white cast. 🔑Key Ingredients: ☑️ Titanium Dioxide ☑️ 3-Hyaluronic Acids ☑️ Tocopherol (Vitamin E) ✨My Highlights: ◼ Easy to use, powdering and matte finish. ◼ Tested on skin irritation, mild and non-irritating, suitable for all skin types. ◼ Tested by Spanish SPF & UVA IN VIVO TEST, effective sun protection value: SPF56.0+/-0.8 ; PFA22.3 (PA++++ = / >16) ◼ Contains three types of hyaluronic acid to provide moisture, oil and water balance, maintain elasticity, and lasting moisturizing to the skin. ◼ Tocopherol (Vitamin E) protects the skin, provides nutrition, and maintains oil and water balance. ◼ Make sure to apply 20-30 minutes before sun exposure. 👦My Impressions: This is the first time I have used the sun stick, and I was amazed the moment I applied it on my face. I really like its light and non-feeling, and it has a powdering and matte finish, oily skin will definitely like it. After 6 hours of use, I can see that my face is super greasy, but it doesn't dry out my skin or discomfort, just pop-up a pimple on my nose. This sun stick is only recommended to be used as a reapplying sunscreen. Do not directly touch the acne areas to avoid bacterial infection of the entire sun stick.

Yes, but...

It works well. The only thing is the smell is pretty intense. Nonetheless, is easy to use, easy to apply, quick and good results. Recommendation: Apply in the evening and shower next morning. Otherwise the smell becomes to strong to keep it all day long!

Bondi sands self tanner review

I buy self tanners every year, since I am extremely pale and this one has to be one of the best. The smell is better than other tanners, but you can still distinguish the specific self tanner smell. It works best with the foam glove since it helps you apply the product evenly. Sometimes I do get a bit of yellowish color on my ankles and elbows but its not that noticable. Overall, my go-to self tanner but still trying to find a 5-star worth tanner.

Tan luxe drops

The most what I like on this product is smell, which is nice, gentle and fruity. I've put few drops on my face before sleeping and I woke up dark orange brown. You can see on the picture the colour I got after applying one drop.. It was a bit shocking, too dark and not egzactly the colour I wanted. I wouldn't recommend it and I am not gonna buy it again. Absurdity in this product is that it lasts the longest of all self tanners I' ve tried ...8 days now and I still can't take it off fully.

Sterke geur maar fijn

Tot nu toe niet verbrand geweestar hij heeft wel een sterke geur waar ik persoonlijk zeker geen fan van ben. Ziet er na een tijdje mooi uit maar blijft wel een korte tijd plakkerig / glanzend. Ook wel een aantrekkelijke prijs voor zonnebrand dus dat is een plus punt.

Subtle tan for pale skin

I always wear spf so my face & neck don't tan with the rest of my body. I was nervous to try a fake tan in case it turned orange or streaky but this product gives the most subtle tanned glow. I apply it once every few days and it builds beautifully without transferring or wearing off patchy. Definitely a new summer staple!

Overrated self tanner

First of all, the price of this self tanner is in my opinion to high (36€). Considering the average results it gives, I would rate him with a 3/5. Smell isn't so bed at the beginning but as soon as you reach 3rd hour or leave it longer, it has that well known self tenner smell. Not so unbearable because once you had your shower it's gonne. The colour of the mousse is nice olive but it has nothing to do with a tan you gonna get. At least in my experience (my Naturale tan is very light) I got medium dark, orange/brown colour. Application is one of the things which I liked, it goes easily and smoothly and more, less you can see which part you applied. Results from the beginning are only there 2 days , cause allready on the 3rd day it starts to washes off and disappears not so evenly I would say. So on 4th day I had to scrubb and take 3 showers and pillings to remove all lefted stains. Honestly, next time I'll choose a different brand.

Glowy skin!

My favourite day to day base. I use it everyday for a natural, glowy skin. As its a bronzing gel its not going to transfer so its mask proof but it evens the skin tone while giving a really beautiful glow. Personally i think it works best with cream/liquid bronzers and blush and it makes it blend really well together. If you have a bit of redness or roseaca it probably wont work for you as it is very warm toned so might make it look redder. Worth every penny!

Morphe- Faux Show self tan

I’ve been using this once every 2 weeks and it’s given my face SUCH a natural glow. It smells amazing and you can see a difference after a few hours. I mix 2-3 drops with my face lotion at night and I have had no bad reaction to it even with my sensitive skin.

Pretty good

A little oily, I don't mind that because it gives a nice glow. I like this sunscreen, no white cast after your blend it. Would buy again
