Fake Tan Convert- Bondi Sands Review
 |
| I use Bondi Sands with my St.Tropez mitt |
I'd never been a massive fake tan lover until recently. Because I am naturally pretty pale, I always used to use gravitate towards body moisturisers with a hint of self tan in, mainly because I was scared of looking orange and wanted something natural. However, I was/am rubbish at keeping up with moisturising my body! When I had tried a *proper* fake tan, it was always one of the cheaper options on the shelf and therefore would just end up looking streaky.
However, after getting fed up of how pale I was, I watched a few fake tan routines on YouTube and decided to bite the bullet and buy the Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam. For some reason I always thought this was going to be expensive however I was pleasantly surprised to see it only retails at £14.99. I actually bought it when it was on offer so i got it for around the £11 mark, even better!
I bought the light/medium shade and had read that it was quite light, but still kept it on for only 3/4 hours the first time I used it just in-case. I now leave it on all night and wash it off in the morning, to get a darker and longer lasting tan and I love it! I am a massive self tan convert. I love the colour, it never streaks (always use a mitt), i don't find it stains my sheets and i really like the coconut smell. It also fades so nicely and I am never left with patches even after 5/6 days.
I now fake tan almost every week and i'm even considering getting the dark shade for the summer. If anyone else is wanting to get into fake tanning but is apprehensive i would highly recommend Bondi Sands!
What's your favourite fake-tan?

St Tropez In Shower Gradual Tan
My lowdown;
It's definitely a gradual tan and only adds a hint of colour with one application however after 2-3 applications over a few days it builds to a darker yet still natural looking tan. Even with a mitt, i still sometimes get the occasional streak however the times i've used this there has been no streaks, no lines, nothing! Which is probably what i like most about it. It's easy to apply, it just feels like your putting on a normal body wash and doesn't really have much of a smell.
The downsides are it really is a gradual tan, no good for anyone wanting an instant hit of colour. Although application is easy, it is also strange. The first time i used it i kept the shower running and stood in the corner as my shower is big enough for that however i felt like it was a waste of water. Turning the shower off as suggested on the bottle, you have the problem of being cold for 3 minutes. There is also the issue of knowing when 3 minutes is up, i resulted to counting in my head haha. Although it doesn't sound like a long time, it does go a lot slower when your stood there.
Despite that, overall i do like it and i can bear standing in the cold for 3 awkward minutes for a easy, streak free, natural looking tan.
Have you tried it yet? What do you think?
