As it
is coming towards summer and the sun is finally making an appearance,
it can only lead to one thing. I need to fake tan! I have very pale skin and
I hardly get a tan even when on holiday. Which I don't mind but I
think it is nice to sometimes add a little bit of bronze to your skin, I find
that it can boost my confidence and make an outfit look even better.
I have tried a
lot of fake tans in the past like Garner, L'Oreal, Solait..... (list goes
on). I have always wanted to try out St Tropez but I just can't
justify the money on a student budget. I have read a lot of good reviews on the
Bondi Sands fake tan but it is an Australian brand, that wasn't available in
the UK.
However, Bondi
Sands has finally made it to the UK and is stocked in Superdrug!
I don't know about you but this makes me very happy. As soon as I
found out I headed straight to Superdrug, there was no stopping me. My local
store is very small and didn't stock all their products but it did have
the Bondi Sands Mousse in light/ Medium that is perfect for me. Previously
I hadn't tried a Mousse, I usually go for lotions. But I
can officially say I am a changed women! This product is perfect; I cannot
express how amazing this fake tan is for the price it is at. Its slightly more
expensive compared to other high street brands but it is still cheaper than St
Tropez.
The product
is so easy to apply, without it looking unnatural or streaky. I use a mitt and
two pumps of fake tan per section, then use circler motions to spread the tan
over my body. I have used it on my face as well, and it didn't break me
out which is another bonus. For a subtle look you can leave it on for just 1
hour, or leave it on for 6 hours for a deeper looking tan. I have done both and
it provides a great pay off! I would say that the Bondi Sands fake tan
gives a more olive colour pay off, so none of this orange Oompa Loompa after look.
I think my hunt
for the perfect fake tan is finally over, I am now heading to Superdrug to
stock up for summer.
