Okay,I'm really excited to review this because i have finally found the most perfect self tanner.I know thats a really big statement to make but i promise you.....i would not lie about such a thing.
First things first,its an australian brand.So unfortunately,shipping costed almost as much as the product itself but thats something I'm okay with after using this glorious tanner.A tiny insignificant thing id like to mention is that the company emailed me to let me know my tan shipped and they gave me a tracking number because it wouldn't update on their website.They did this without me reaching out to them which i thought was super sweet and great customer service.
It seems to me that their top seller is the 2 hour mousse that they offer.However,i decided to purchase the regular deluxe bronzing mousse because it came in "ultra dark." I have used pretty much every self tanner out there (including million dollar tan,fake bake,vita liberata,and st tropez) but each of them had something missing.For example,my favorite color was from st tropez dark but my favorite application was fake bake.
I digress,yesterday i finally received my package in the mail and as soon as i got home i did my usual pre tan routine.I exfoliate in the shower as well as shave.I use the exfoliating gloves you can get from any beauty supply store and recently I've gone back to using my snooki exfoliator from supre tan.As soon as i get out of the shower and dry off,i apply some vaseline spray and rub it in really well.Once i was all dry i held my breath and just went for it.
Let me tell you the first major thing i noticed..the way it dried amazed me.Mousses are always known to be super difficult to dry and thats what makes me hate them.I always tan at night and i swear to god the next morning I'm still sticky to the touch.This stuff dried FAST.Which made me realize i had to work at decent pace while applying it.The smell is extremely pleasant.Its not the usual coconut fake beachy smell that I'm sure we're all used to by now.It sort of just smelled clean and yummy to me.Almost soapy but in a really good way.Of course it has a self tan smell after awhile though.Every single self tan is going to leave you smelling like a soggy pretzel.I would be worried if it didn't because that would mean its not working.Its nothing insane though,my boyfriend didn't complain about the smell so thats something!This tan has a guide color so you can see where you're applying it.I didn't get a single streak while applying it.It went on really easily and it wasn't obnoxiously thick like most mousses that ive started resenting.
Fast forward to the color.This is hands down the darkest I've ever gotten from a self tanner.I almost shed a happy tear this morning when i saw the gorgeous color it made me.Not orange,not green,not some weird red hue IT IS TRUE GOLDEN TAN.I hopped into the shower and rinsed the guide color off and guess what?I didn't get out of the shower pale.
When i would use my st tropez dark,i'd wake up with great color but once i rinsed off the guide color it was barely anything!At least for me anyway,i like a significant difference in my skin color when i self tan.
I can't stress enough how in love with this product i am.I can't really say how long it lasts because i only did my application last night but ill give you guys an update after a few days!The only complaint i have is that my bottle is a little leaky.When i press down on the pump and the product comes out,some of the liquid oozes out from inside the bottle.Its kind of hard to explain but it did get a little messy.I just used a makeup wipe to clear it off once i was finished applying it.
Heres a little before and after action for you all. ^__^
