Not so "Flash" bronzer by Lancome!

Advantages: Even colour, lucky enough not to be streaky, looked good after 3/4 days
Disadvantages: Could never bare my skin the next day, and the price.

...orange/part black legs. However one good point I found about this fake tan was the way that it faded nicely and didn't go patchy, unlike most other fake tans. Also the result I had after around 3 days was a nice, more natural but still dark looking tan. This only comes in one shade but I would recommend it more to those lucky ones of you that are already slightly dark or olive skin. However also note that althought I think I'm quite pale, I'd say I'm an average colour and not ghostly or "milk bottle" pale. I go mediumish brown in the sun and do tan, but am not tanned all year round (unfortunatly)! ~~~Where can I buy this product?~~~ Well if you still would like to give this a go, it is available from most department stores which sell Lancome, including House of Fraser, and Debenhams. It is also available in larger Boots stores...

Review of Lancome Flash Bronzer Airbrush

lancome airbrush tanner

Advantages: good quality and nice colour
Disadvantages: colourless and needs to be rubbed in

...I had my friend over before a night out and she brought along this Lancome flash tanning mousse, it was really great and quick to use, so I thought, hell..Ill treat myself. I found a cheaper deal on Cheapsmells.com for £12.95, but when it arrived I realised it wasnt the product I thought it was, but the airbrush one instead. Nevertheless I decided to give it a go a on the tuesday night before plans to go out on the saturday night. And arent I glad i planned in advance! The can is really easy to use I must admit, the only problem is that its colourless whilst spraying so I didnt have much of an idea where I had/ hadn't covered. It took a few hours to dry so I locked myself in my room for the rest of the night. Bearing in mind i was only testing it out, so i didnt spray my back or cover the insides of my arms very well. I was gutted that...

Review of Lancome Flash Bronzer Airbrush

Tan in a Flash

Advantages: Good even tan, (if applied evenly!).
Disadvantages: Cost

...easy to apply to the face. 2) It goes on evenly, without those heavy lines that some self-tanners leave. 3) It dries easily and acts quickly. (By quickly, I mean that the tanning effects are noticeable on the skin within an hour and it is quite natural too). A radiant glow is the order of the day. The Soleil Flash Bronzer, contains hydrating agents along with pure Vitamin E to help to ?preserve skins beauty? according to Lancôme. The skin gets a mild, sun-kissed glow effect after using this product. One word of warning this range of products does NOT contain Sun Protection Factor. **Other Products in the Soleil Range** *Flash Bronzer Face Gel* Flash Bronzer Leg Gel: Instant-tinting pigments Self-tanning Face and Body Milk *Self-tanning Magic Mousse* Self-tanning Spray Tinted Self-tanning Face Cream: Instant Golden...

Review of Lancome Soleil Flash Bronzer Self Tanning Face Gel

All pain, no gain

Advantages: Can be used upside down
Disadvantages: It hurts!!

...There's no escaping the fact that I have white legs. Goths look upon my pale limbs with un-disguised envy so for a number of years I have been searching for THE perfect fake tan. I have tried them all, from my mums' late 80's versions (which bizarrely always came with a free pink towelling hair band), to tan towels, gels, sprays, creams, etc, but none have given me that genuine tan which I so crave. Whilst flicking through a magazine one evening I saw an advert for new aerosol Lancôme Flash Bronzer Airbrush. The ad shows a tanned female and tells you how you can achieve the effects of a salon spray tan in your own home as the ultra-fine mist works at all angles, you can even do your back (hurrah). Having neither the time nor desire to stand starkers in a booth in a starfish shape whilst being sprayed with tan by a machine (or...

Review of Lancome Flash Bronzer Airbrush

Golden brown straight from the can!

Advantages: Gives a nice natural looking colour to the skin
Disadvantages: Is a bit smelly

...-tanning products Lancome Soleil Flash Bronzer Self-Tanning Magic Mousse. Lancome is a French cosmetics company that makes high quality products including skincare, make up, perfume, self tanning and body care items. They are a popular brand launched in 1935 with five fragrances they then branched out into skincare with the launch of Nutrix a product which still has the same formula today. They then launched the Oceane line in 1955 which contained ultra-pure enriched with algae seaweed and trace elements. The Soleil line was launched many years later in 1997 and has become a popular choice for consumers. I first stumbled across this range when I bought a couple of items from it at my local car boot (yes more car boot bargains) I paid £2 for this orangey bronze coloured tin - much less than it retails for in the shops. I was hoping that as this item...

Review of Lancome Soleil Flash Bronzer Self-Tanning Magic Mouuse

easy to use for first timers

Advantages: quck application dries quickly
Disadvantages: not enough applications in bottle

...i fist of all must say, i must be the exoert on false tans! I have tried everyone in the shops and tey all promise to do the same thing i never usually try lancome products but knew that the label promotes quality. I found the spray can very easy to use and great for the full body because unless you have two pairs of hands its impossible to get to the back, but with this airbrush affect its very easy. I found it dried really quickly and didnt leave that sticky feel on your skin the colour is a nice golden when developed, in my opinion if your new to the airbrush bottles its really easy to use this, the only problem with the airbrush bottles is you maybe get four applications for a full body if your lucky. This isnt the best or the worst on the market and you cant really go wrong with this product....

Review of Lancome Flash Bronzer Airbrush

Orange or Brown? what would you prefer?

Advantages: Easy to apply, great colour and well worth the money
Disadvantages: Need to reapply regularly

...When it comes to self tanning, many products don't bring out the desired results. Many cheap self tanning lotions such as dove, or johnsons aren't to bad for a quick fix, but when i have come to use them the 1st effects arent to bad, then they develope into patchy peally orange dirt marks on your skin. If you want to self tan, cheap isnt always the answer. I believe that for better results you need to pay between atleast £20 -£40 for a decent all over BROWN looking tan, not mention it must be a well known make such as St Tropez. This is were Lancome comes into its own. Its a pretty good price for what it does. The cream is quite thin which actually adds to its easy application. You know that nasty stale smell you get after application, well good news lancome smells great, well not as strong, that stale smell is the actuall...

Review of Lancome Body & Suncare Flash Bronzer Milk (Fair Skins)

No more pale face

Advantages: Gives a natural glow with no effort & value for money
Disadvantages: Expensive but value for money

...I have been using Lancome Soleil Flash Bronzer Self Tanning Face Gel for a couple of years now and wouldn't be without it. I have tried nearly every other self tanning product for the face and this has to be the best. It is easy and quick to use. I tend to put some on in the morning after I have washed my face and before I apply any make up. It is a light gel and doesn't clog your pores particularly if you are prone to oily skin. I put 2-3 squirts on the tips of my fingers and rub them together, then rub into my cheeks, blending over the rest my face outwards. Ensure to rub a little lightly over your noise and forehead and go right up to your hair line as these places tend to show the tan up more. The tan gradually develops over the morning and is very subtle. It gives a very natural looking glow. If you want to...

Review of Lancome Soleil Flash Bronzer Self Tanning Face Gel

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

Flasher! Me?

Advantages: Does seem to dry quite quickly, nice subtle shimmer, no marks on clothes
Disadvantages: Dried skin out, no guide colour, dodgy result!

...No one wants to be white in summer; we all want a beautiful golden glow: but then no one wants to have a face like an elbow in their later years (!) The obvious solution is fake tan, oh sorry I mean 'self tanner'. Although satisfied with the results of both St Tropez's products (original tinted lotion and 'whipped bronze' mousse) I would never turn down the offer of a freebie beauty product so kindly accepted a Lancome spray tan from my mum. LANCOME FLASH BRONZER - SELF TANNING SPRITZ As with all other Lancome products, the packaging is less than fashionable. It's not repulsive or cheap looking but it's certainly not youthful or cutting edge. The water-like self tanner comes in a 150ml sturdy clear orange bottle (orange?! That's not giving me much faith in the expected colour of the tan?) with a push on plastic lid. Sadly it...
