SMART EVENING' In an extended review, one shopper said:“Not usually one for leaving reviews but I felt I just had to with this product. As a very pale skinned person who doesn't


tan but loves to be tanned, I have had a very love hate relationship with false tans. I've tried SO many I lost count but always ended up with a streaky or patchy finish, looking darker


on certain areas and not taking to others at all, washing off in patches, that horrid fake tan smell, hard to apply, etc, etc...I gave up for a while and stuck to my old faithful instant


tan but its such a ball a c h e having to reapply every day, especially in summer. “But wow...this false tan has literally changed my life! I exfoliated beforehand in the bath but pretty


half heartedly, applied a little bit of moisturiser to my elbows, kness and ankles (dry areas) and used the Bondi Sands mitt to apply (amazing mitt as it is waterproof lined so no tan on


your palms). The foam has a slight instant tint so you can see where it's going and it dries in instantly so you don't have to keep rubbing at it for ages and no streaks! It smells


beautiful as you're applying, coconutty, and it's just so quick and easy. “Straight away I felt I had a nice glow and after a few hours a darker colour had developed (as shown in


the photo). The notorious false tan smell did develop a bit with the tan but not horribly so. The next morning I showered and the tan stayed fully in place. I am absolutely in love with this


Bondi Sands product! Would fully recommend.” A second person added: “I’ve not used a self-tan for years because of how bad they used to be on the whole. This tan is fantastic. It’s a lovely


light foam that goes on really easily. Use a mitt, that’s why they exist! If you put this on with your hands then off course you’re going to stain your hands. And of course there’s colour


transfer while the tan is developing and before you wash it off - that’s a given, just don’t get dressed and sit on something dark until you do. Common sense. Once you’ve washed it off and


moisturised it will then continue to develop into a lovely deep tan that lasted nearly a week (and that’s with showering every day). Great stuff!” While a third shared: “I've never self


tanned before and this has been great for giving me a little glow with no streaks. Best advice is exfoliating in the shower, dry with a tiny bit of moisturiser on your elbows and knees and


then to work in small sections and really buff the tanner out before getting any more.” While most shoppers were pleased with the results of the tan, some had their concerns. One shopper


said: “Really wanted to love this product but it gets streaky quite easy, especially if you are new to this. Smell is fine, and it’s easy to see where you put mousse on the area as it is


colour to it, but again, it will streak after a while.” Meanwhile, a number of other shoppers were concerned that the tan’s colour didn’t last for long enough and tended to wash off in the


shower. Another shopper raved: “First tried this tan today and I absolutely love it!! Gives me a perfect bronze glow, not too dark, looks so natural, and has the most amazing scent, well


worth the money and it's one of the best tans I've ever used!! Will definitely be buying it again!” According to Bondi Sands, shoppers can expect to “experience a sun-kissed tan


every time” when using their fake tan. They add that: “Enriched with Aloe Vera and infused with the scent of coconut, this lightweight self-tanning foam will leave your skin glowing like a


day on Bondi Beach. Our Light/Medium Self-Tanning Foam is perfect for those with a light-to-medium complexion and first time tanners.” This foaming tan is also fast-drying and lightweight


and, according to Bondi Sands, will give skin a “a natural, sun-kissed glow”. To ensure that the end result doesn’t appear orange, the tan is formulated with a green-base, which guarantees a


natural, warm tan. The tan can be left on for between one and eight hours - the longer tan is left on, the deeper the result. However, if the hue of the tan isn’t dark enough after leaving


on for the maximum amount of time, Bondi Sands recommends reapplying the tanning foam for a second time. The brand also encourages shoppers to apply the tan to clean, exfoliated skin that’s


free of any moisturisers. They recommend for an even streak-free tan, using an application mitt and using long sweeping motions to smooth the formula over skin. For a limited time the Bondi


Sands Light/Medium Self-Tanning Foam has had its price reduced at Amazon from £17.49, down to £11.65, but you’ll need to be quick if you want to snap up the deal. _GET ALL THE LATEST AND
