Advantages: Easy to apply, even coverage, no streaks, won't make you go orange Disadvantages: May make you smell a bit like a stale biscuit for a few days after application
the guide colour will wash off and make the water look quite dirty and murky ~ don't worry this is normal!! Underneath the guide colour will reveal a beautiful natural looking tan that you can be proud of ~ so long as you have applied it correctly there will be no streaks and the best bit is YOU WILL NOT BE ORANGE!
Without getting too technical, having spoken to my friends in the know in the beauty department, the reason you won't go orange with St Tropez is because it has a green based tanning agent which ensures natural colour; hence the price reflects this. Some of the cheaper tanning products on the market use a red-orange based tanning agent, hence the colour you end up reflects this. Clinique's selftanningmousse is another very good green based tanning product like St. Tropez and is a fraction of the price at £13.50. It also has ...
Advantages: New product smells floral and pleasant - seems to colour more evenly too Disadvantages: still fades a little patchy but think they all do
This product is for the new improved product (the photo is of the old packaging)
I have been a St Tropez devotee for years now, I love its colour and the fact that its so easy to apply. In fact one of my first reviews for dooyoo was for the whipped bronze mousse. In this review, I mentioned that one of the disadvantages was the smell - people compare it to stale biscuits and it's just horrible. The colour is great but the smell lingers, but as all fake tans smell, I just kind of put up with it...until now!
2009 saw St Tropez releasing new improved versions of their best selling products. As well as sleek new black on white packaging, there were major improvements to the smell. It claimed to have a pleasant fragrance - hmmm I thought, I am a bit sceptical, I will have to try this for myself!
I bought a 240ml bronzing mousse ...
Advantages: Lovely Natural colour,easy to apply once you have got the hang! Disadvantages: Price, Guide colour seems to change
This is by far the best selftan that i have tried. I have tried a few other brands but they are still standing on the shelf in my bathroom half full. I have always been a bit scared of applying selftan and so had never ventured any further than my legs. However whan i bought my bottle of St tropez the results were so good, i had a go at putting it on my full body, and the results were amazing. It can be a bit tricky getting the hang of applying the mousse, but once you have mastered it then it is really easy.
My advice would be to use the Body polisher and moisturiser as these are both really nice products, better than any others ive tried.
You can buy gift box sets which includes everything in one box - selftanmousse - body polisher and moisturiser. This is what i purchased first to try it out, i now buy them seperately as they ...
