L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

...The product in question was L'oreal Plenitude Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Gel. This is a new addition to the L'oreal tanning range and claims to have the added benefit of smoothing the skin leaving it 'velvety soft' (which would be very weird when you consider the feel of velvet - if you skin suddenly starts feeling like that, I suggest you consult a doctor!) Normally this product retails at £9.99 for 150ml, which may seem quite steep, but you only ...
...does last. At the moment its on offer at Boots for £6.66 -those of you with a superstitious nature wait until it returns to its none demonic price before you purchase it! The product comes in a clear plastic tube with orange trim. Orange? Obviously someone in the marketing department had a good chuckle about that - it doesnt exactly fill you with confidence when you apply it! The thing I dont like about self-tanning products is the horrible chemically ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

...tangerine! Eventually I decided on L'Oreal Sublime Bronze self-tanning gel, as I thought of L'Oreal as being quite a trustworthy brand. Also, the Sublime Bronze range had 1/3 off at Boots, so I paid £7.32 for a 150ml bottle instead of £10.99. Another thing that attracted me to this product was the fact that it is suitable for use on face as well as body. Previous tanning lotions I have tried didn't work very well on the face, and it saves having ...
...me the results I was after. I definately trust the L'Oreal Sublime Bronze range, but next time I might try a lotion intstead of the gel, as I think I might prefer this. Even so, I would be happy to continue using the gel as it does the job fine. ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

I'd only ever used St Tropez before and was wary about using a cheaper brand. At £10.99 it isn't the cheapest you could possibly buy but I do think it's really good value for money, especially if you buy in Boots and get advantage card points. The tube didn't last as long as I expected, I've used it on my legs only twice, and all over once and I think it'll probably run out after another all over application. Maybe I'm just a bit addicted to it! ...
...find I needed to exfoliate and moisturise excessively before application for it to come out evenly. Just a bit of moisturiser before was all I needed, even on my knees. Much less faffing around than using St Tropez! The tint to the gel is a nice colour, a warm copper-y bronze and makes seeing where you have applied very easy. It doesn't, however, really give you an indication of what the final colour will be. I especially liked the shimmer to the ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

...PRICE AND PACKAGING L'Oreal Sublime Bronze usually costs £10.99, but it was on offer in Boots with 1/3 off. I don't think that this is a bad price - not stupidly expensive like St Tropez, but it is enough to give me confidence in the product. The packaging is clear, so that you can see the dark orange gel inside, with an orange flip cap. It has orange, gold and white colours on the front. It looks quite nice, although how excited can a girl get ...
...however is that it is slippery when you hold it with product on your hands. The upside is that you can see how much you have used! CLAIMS... 'Sublime Bronze is a non-greasy self-tanning gel with a smoothing effect, which is easy to apply and dries rapidly. From only one hour it give the skin a golden glow, with an instant velvety touch.' Well, let's just see about that shall we… PRE-APPLICATION Before using any fake tan, you should cleanse, ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

I really suggest than even amature fake tanners try this product out to add a bit of a glow to winter worn skin. I'm a typically perfectionist Virgo and as such rather tentative when it comes to tanning products. I can't stand the idea of having just one dodgy patch and i'm so particular that I can't just tan my legs I always HAVE to do my WHOLE body and face because I don't like the idea of having a mismatched look when i'm naked (even if it's ...
...is a slightly tinted honey coloured gel. The tint does not show up on your skin when you put it on, but the sheen on your skin when applied makes it possible to see where you're putting it. MY PERSONAL APPLICATION METHOD. -TRIED AND TESTED! Firstly I should say that you don't have to be this cautious. The product is very simple to use and develops a light colour the first time you use it but just in case you want to be extra sure, this is how I ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

I've naturally pale skin and always feel self conscious of this over the summer months, particularly when it comes to getting my legs out when they've been hidden away over the winter months. Not wanting to go for sun beds after all the health warnings associated with these, I opted for a tan in a bottle. Wary of looking like the orange celebs we seem to see all the time, I was careful with the shade selected and went for the lightest possible selection. ...
...these really difficult to apply, slow to absorb and streaky so this gel based product instantly appealed to me. The price was pretty good too, at £6.50. After preparing my skin as directed (exfoliated and moisturised!) I applied the gel, little by little. I was surprised by how quickly this absorbed but a bit concerned that the product didn't appear to show on the skin. I was unsureif this would give an even tan as I was relying on memory as to ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

This has got to be the best self tanning substance I have tried. The fact that it is a gel instead of a lotion or cream, makes it easier to glide over your skin. Anyone can use this self tanner, it is basically idiot proof for all self tanning virgins, but on the other hand it is great for the professional self tanner, who has been applying for years. It gives a slight glistening effect when applied, this makes it easier to tell if you have missed ...
...The application. The only thing i would advise is that, if you have a shower or a bath and shave your legs, before the application, leave it an hour or so before applying the gel so your pores have chance to close, if not, what i find is that it doesn't absorb into your legs properly, your pores just soak up the gel and you end up with tiny dark brown freckles on your legs with nothing in between. It's entirely up to you whether you moisturise ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

Women don’t fully hold the monopoly when it comes to wanting a natural golden tan without having to risk getting skin cancer or premature ageing. As a pale-skinned man with a summer ball to attend in a few weeks I thought healthy glowing skin would flatter my tuxedo perfectly. I can only ever remember using a self tanning product many years ago and although it was a cheaper product the results were pretty good. With this in mind I thought that ...
...product development and fine tuning and I decided to go with a product with a recognised name. To me Loreal is usually a name that equal quality and reliability and the packaging was also appealing; looking modern in a see-through tube enabling you to see the actual tanning gel. Having read the information on the tube I was confident that I could happily use the product due to my fair, pale complextion. It cost about £10 for 150ml at Boots for ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

I've got to be honest, I am not usually a fan of tanning. I was learning to live with my milk bottle legs when I saw this on the shelf at 7.99 "Hmm, give it a go.." I told myself. Well, what a pleasant surprise. Nice and easy to apply, even for the inexperienced (or downright hopeless) fakers like myself. My elbows were surprisingly un-orange, and it didn't smell as rank as others I've used. I even risked using it on my face which turned out fine. ...
...be too light for a lot of people, you can build up the colour by reapplying daily. The one application suited me fine, a nice honey colour rather than a deep tan. Depending on how much you put on, it does start working after one hour, although the full effect was seen overnight. A couple of minor disadvantages though:- The packaging is a bit uninspired, but don't let it put you off; The clear formula means you may find it difficult to see where ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

I bought Loreal gel after a friend recommended it to me. The problem I have is that I suffer from psoriasis and find that fake tans usually cling to every tiny dry bit of skin even after exfoliating and moisturising. My friend promised me that this was wonderful and left your skin silky smooth so I thought I'd give it a go. I went along to boots and it was on special offer, fantastic! So it cost me £7.49 rather than £10.99 which it usually is. It ...
...fooled however, it doesn't last!) so off i toddled home to try out my new purchase. I didn't exfoliate (I had ran out) so showered and used a light moisturiser. I then started using the gel. It has quite a watery consistancy so be careful not to squeeze too hard! It looks very brown at first but once you start applying it leaves a nice suble shimmer with just a hint of colour so it is very easy to see whats already been done. It took around five ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

...as well...here it is. L'oreal sublime bronze gel is a light non-oily gel with quite a nice fresh scent (makes a change). It is suitable for face and body and gives a light glow after one application. I have very pale skin and if I use 2 applications 24 hrs apart I get a lovely bronzed colour. To be honest the first application does very little other than give a nice healthy glow so if thats all you're after great, but if you want to apear tanned ...
...I have quite a few scars and not all fake tans cover my scars. This one does but again it does take 2 applications. I really liked this particular effect as the small scars were unnoticeable unless you really got your eyes up against my skin, the larger thicker ones were less obvious too. The gel is easy to apply, absorbs quickly and doesn't streak. It contains vitamin E too which is great for your skin, especially if you have scars, it does improve ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

First thing is that this fake tan has an instant colour so if your running late this is perfect for a quick fix! but this isnt just a quick fiz, it is a long lasting lovely colour. doesnt make you go orange and people even thought i had been on holiday!! only problem is that it makes you skin go dry so would reccomend eiether putting moisturiser underneath or moisturising every day. it has a shimmer in it which gives you a nice, healthy glow. the ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

Produces good and quite dramatic results. It's good for first time tanners as it is slightly tinted and this allows people to see where there have applied tan and where they haven't, this helps to ensure even coverage. the smell when you first put it on isnt too bad, although when the tan starts to take effect the "fake tan" smell becomes quite strong. i recomend this product for face tanning but i have found that it doens't work as well on your ...
...to rub in to large areas like you back or tummy without producing streaks. It does feel quite sticky and does stain clothes so you cant put anything on your skin for a while. I feel it works best when you do it at night, but the next morning you do have to have a shower as you can still feel a layer on the skin that hasn't absorbed but when you do wash it off you are left with a good end colour. Also youshould be aware that their is glitter in this ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

...expensive but then i saw L'Oreal sublime bronze on the shelves and at a price of 9.99 it was incredably cheap! i applied it as soon as i got home. The directions were simple and easy to use resulting in the gel going on smoothly and more or less evenly. The fake tan hardly rubbed off on my sheets, clothes or in the shower. The appearance was slighlty streaky so i recommend that if you're going to use this product that you purchase additional tan ...
...claims to be fragrance free but the smell was quite distinctive and lingered on my hands for about a week. I also suggest that you lay a towel on the floor of your bathroom if it is carpet as the gel can be quite messy. This is a good, cheap product with hardly any flaws and i recommend you buy it. ...

Review of L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel

I got this because of the other opinions on here, and I have to agree that I like it alot! I am always a bit weary of self-tanning products, initially because they are so pricey, and then I don't want to become 'orange' or have streaky lines! This gel seams to be the answer for a great self tanning product for me. The gel is a browney-orange colour, and when it goes on you look really shiney which is good to see where you've been before. It smoothes ...
...The gel takes about 10 minutes to dry and stop feeling sticky. I have always made sure I am totally dry before putting my clothes on so I'm not sure if it will mark your clothes. I have primarily used it on my face, and notice it seems a golden bronze rather than 'orange'! A great product, and although it is £9.99, it seems good value for a quality product that goes far! ...
