Beautifully bronzed babe!

Advantages: Beautiful real looking tan. Good value for money. Won't give you skin cancer!
Disadvantages: A little tricky to apply the first few times.

...product. I thought, if this is the best fake tan and it doesn't work then I'll resign myself to staying my natural colour, but in the mean time I'd give it a try. ST TROPEZ WHIPPED BRONZE INSTANT SELF-TANNING MOUSSE What a mouthful! The bottle is not particularly striking or attractive when you see it in the shop but when you get it home you realise it is certainly well designed. It is made of thick plastic with the name 'Whipped Bronze' and small St Tropez logo on the front. It is green and white with black writing and has a fat nozzle dispenser on the top for ease of application. The dispenser is easy to use and not at all stiff to press down so you can use as much or as little as you want at a time. It also has a lid on top of that in order that the bottle doesn't leak, or press itself when it's in storage...

Review of St. Tropez Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse

Bronzed and Beautiful

Advantages: Natural look, no 'false tan' smell
Disadvantages: Application isn't as easy as I'd hoped

...celebrities, I decided to splash out and try St Tropez. I invested £20 in a 270ml bottle of Instant Self Tanning Bronzing Mist. I chose the spray rather than the mousse as I though it would be much easier to apply. So how do you apply the product? First you must prepare your skin. You can follow step 1 (the Body Polisher) and 3 (the Body Moisturiser) as directed by the marketing bumpf on the bottle, or like me you can save your self some money and use your own brand of exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and moisturiser to hydrate dry areas. Now put on gloves as the product will stain your hands if you don't protect them. If you are blonde you should also wear a shower cap to protect your hair as it may stain light hair. Make sure you're not standing on a white carpet (you are warned that it will stain fabrics although I've found that it...

Review of St. Tropez Instant Bronzing Mist

Bronzed Beauty

Advantages: Gorgeous, real looking brown bod
Disadvantages: Yucky colour

...St Tropez has hit the shops! This is good news for ladies that love the tanned look. It's available in Debenhams and some branches of Superdrug or you can pop to larger branches of Boots and bag a few Advantage card points. Bronze yourself up and look tanned and healthy! It's in a turquoise and white bottle. There are 2 sizes, the smaller one (120 ml) is £20 and the larger one, which is better value (270ml) is £30. The pump action makes it easy to apply but first you have to prepare your skin. Exfoliation is the first step, followed by a moisturiser to ensure that the tan takes evenly to your skin. St Tropez doesn't really smell - it is a very dark grey/brown colour though and does look horribly dirty when you first apply it. However, in a way this is an advantage as it ensures you can see where you're applying...

Review of St. Tropez Whipped Bronze Instant Self-Tanning Mousse

Beautiful Bronzed, Sun-kissed colour

Advantages: Great coverage, Blends Easily, Easy to Remove
Disadvantages: Not sure what this would be like in the rain

...I am always on the lookout for fake tan products that give a nice sun-kissed glow and don?t end up making you look orange or streaky. I can?t stand girls who go out and glow under the lights from looking so orange. I want a subtle tan which gives me good coverage and blends easily. ***ABOUT MAYBELLINE*** Maybelline New York make a huge range of cosmetics and beauty products including make up for face, eyes, lips and nails and they also do a bronzing range which is where the product I am reviewing is from. Their products are available to buy from stores such as Boots and Superdrug and are very well priced compared to other brands of makeup. I have used a number of cosmetics form this brand and I always find them to be good quality and good value. I would definitely recommend anyone to try any of their products as there is something...

Review of Maybelline Dream SunGlow Bronze

Bronzed beauty......well, not exactly!

Advantages: Will give you a dark tan, if that is what you are after.
Disadvantages: Can be too dark for some. Not exactly 'foolproof'. Price.

...for £19.99, although I then noticed it somewhere else for cheaper so my advice is to look around to get yourself the best deal. The fake tan comes in a thick, white plastic bottle, with a pump action nozzle to make things easier for you. = To Apply = This is the directions given on the back of the bottle. "Step 3: Smooth St Tropez Auto-Bronzant evenly onto skin; let it absorb - do not over-rub. For best results apply at bedtime and shower next morning. May appear streaky as product dries - this is normal and showering in morning will uncover a beautiful, even tan. To deepen tan, apply 3 nights consecutively. For a lighter tan, blend to desired shade ONLY with St Tropez Body Moisturiser. To maintain your colour, apply 1 to 3 times weekly. To maintain your tan, moisturise daily and use St Tropez Body Polisher every...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

MY LITTLE BEAUTY

Advantages: Instantaneous results, youthful, radiant, vibrant skin
Disadvantages: The price and perhaps the packaging

...Until very recently I'd never tried a single Clarin's product and until even more recently I didn't believe that beauty products really could work miracles. So what has caused the cynic in me to disappear? My in laws gave me a birthday present that is a pretty little pink box containing a number of Clarin's trial size products. It was in this little box that my miracle beauty product lurked, untried and untested by myself until about two weeks ago, largely because I hadn't bothered to read the leaflet and wasn't quite sure what it was for. I am, of course, talking about Clarin's "Baume Beaute Éclair" or more commonly known as "Beauty-Flash Balm" (BFB). Then a couple of weeks ago I was at a two day work conference and the overnight stay resulted in some pretty serious drinking with some pretty stunning hangovers and an almighty...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Beauty Flash Bum!

Advantages: None that I can think of
Disadvantages: Expensive and over-rated

...I was given a tube of this 'wonder cream' as a Christmas present from my in-laws just last Christmas. It sat inside my dressing table drawer until about three weeks ago, still in its original box/packaging etc, unused. I don't know why it's taken me so long to open the box and read the 'instructions leaflet' and actually use the stuff - maybe I was having a 'premonition' about it?? I have to say, Clairins Beauty Flash Balm, or, as it states in the French (also on the packaging/tube) "Baume Beaute Eclair" has been probably THE most disappointing beauty product I have used, EVER!! I've used a lot during my years, but this stuff does not live up to the hype, so don't waste your money. The tube I was given is a 50ml (1.7floz) size and I believe it costs somewhere in the region of £17.00 to £19.00 in major department stores. I...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Beware - Beautifully Bronzed Babe Alert

Advantages: Excellent, all over tan with no streaks
Disadvantages: A little pricey

...Warning - This Product is the Dog's DooDahs and no mistake!!! Only try it if you want to be seriously bronzed and beautiful!! In my quest for the perfect fake tan, I eventually decided to go for St Tropez - I have heard so many good things about it; if all the stars use it, then it must be good!! It's just that the price put me off a little bit as I had heard it can be about 25 pounds a bottle. ORDERING I went to their website (www.St-Tropez.co.uk) just to get a little more information on the products available and how they work. There is plenty of information there so if you are curious, do go and have a look. Whilst I was there I found that you can buy a smaller 4oz bottle of Auto Bronzant for just 15.95 - to tell you the truth, this is not a lot more than I have paid for some of the dearer brands of fake tan (ie, Clarins...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Beauty in a flash...

Advantages: Instantly works on improving skin appearance
Disadvantages: Quite costly

...Wanting to further improve my skin, friends recommended me this flash balm so a friend offered me a sample of the product to try. I was eager to try it out! Clarins is a well-known and highly respected brand in the make up industry. Their ranges of products are all of an extremely high quality and value. Although their prices are on the high end of the scale, their products are well worth the money. So what is this Flash Balm? Clarins states that this Beauty Flash Balm will -Promote immediate and long-lasting radiance. - Firms and helps minimise fine lines and wrinkles. - Smoothes and softens skin. - Strengthens and refines the contours of the face; skin regains firmness and suppleness. - Make-up looks exceptionally radiant. My first thoughts on Flash Balm, is the name, which came across as a product that works quickly...
