ST Tropez Autobronzant

Advantages: Nice even colour, can see where it has been applied already
Disadvantages: Messy and expensive

...*Introduction* The St Tropez autobronzant is a thick lotion which you apply on your face and body, and then leave to absorb for 4 hours before washing off to reveal your tan. It promises to be 'non-greasy' and 'quick drying' with a 'relaxing aromatic scent'. It comes in one shade only, but you can reapply two nights in a row to deepen the tan. I have really pale skin that doesn't tan at all naturally, so I have to be careful what fake tan I use as I can be left with orange coloured skin! *Packaging and Price* The packaging is quite simple and whereas most fake tanning products come in a brown or orange bottle, it is distinctive as it comes in a white bottle with black writing. When buying, look carefully at the bottle to check you have the right product though as the St Tropez body polish comes in a very similar bottle...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

A St Tropez Tan

Advantages: Excellent colour, easy to see where applying as it is coloured
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...This product has got to be one of the most convincing fake tans I have ever found. Last year, being a very pale shade with the task of being a bridesmaid for one of my mates, I decided that I didn't want my pale skin to clash with the pale dress I had to wear!! So off to a salon to have the St Tropez professional tanning treatment. I was amazed! I emerged from the salon with a decent tan (as it is coloured you can see the effects immediately). The tan developed and I was left looking as though I had been on holiday. It lasted for nearly 2 weeks. A real confidence boost for the vain people amongst us!! After seeing how the professionals do it, I now do it myself!!! It is much better to mix half and half with moisturiser. If you go wrong you just apply another thin coat. You wash the excess off about 4-5 hours later and you...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

St Tropez Self Tan

Advantages: Great colour and very even colour
Disadvantages: Takes time and alot of effort

...St Tropez is a great range that contains all the products needed for a fantastic natural looking all year round tan. It claims to work instantly for a streak less application that will last for days. It comes in an 8oz bottle with a handy pump action, which makes it a lot easier to use. I paid £26.50 for this, which I know does seem like a lot. I initially brought the St Tropez mousse however this brought me out in a rash so I had to discontinue using it. My friend used this lotion so I borrowed a little bit and I didn?t have the same reaction so decided to give it ago. I did love this at first because it brought me out in such a dark tan and I even had one done professionally, which cost £25, I thought after it was a waste of money because it really is easy enough to do it at home and get the same results. This is in my...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

An overnight trip to St Tropez

Advantages: deceivingly good colour
Disadvantages: quite pricey, very messy!

...Dilema, Just been on holiday, have come back with a great tan, but not as great as you expected and it is fading fast because of the terrible English weather! Solution: St Tropez self tanning lotion So I paid just over £50 for St Tropez Step 1 (Exfoliant), Step 2 (moisturiser) and Step 3 (Auto Brozant). As I found out later, if you follow the instructions on the bottle, you should get a good result. For a virgin self tanner (which I was), it all looks a bit daunting after having paid out so much money! I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for and once again I have been proven right. So Step 1, I am standing in the bathroom covered in exfoliator, with my poor boyfriend standing behind me exfoliating my back for me. Step 2, carefully moisturising every part that might go a little bit dry or dodgy Step...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

From sunless to sunkissed with St Tropez!

Advantages: Even natural colour, easy application!
Disadvantages: Price!

...As a girl who has trouble applying makeup and beauty products, I was sceptical before reaching for the well known self tanner St Tropez. I bought the set -moisturiser, whipped mouse tanner, gloves and exfoliator in a set from Boots. I thought if I was going to attempt the sunkissed look, it would be vital I get it right! On opening the box I was overwhelmed by the instructions : Step 1 - Prepare skin by exfoliating. Step 2 - Use moisturiser on dry areas( I recommend using it everywhere!) Step 3- Smooth bronzer evenly onto skin. It seemed a lot of effort, but after using this product for a year now I have found a nice routine works best and the whole thing is done in minimal time. Although the tanner says to use their own brand of exfoliator and moisturiser, it doesn't make any difference. I've found that most moisturiser's work very...

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

St Tropez Bronzing Mist

Advantages: Gives you some colour - better than nothing.
Disadvantages: Expensive, hard to absorb, you still have to rub in.

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~ About St Tropez ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ St Tropez are a leading brand of self tanning products and have been around since 1996. They have a huge range of products from this Bronzing Mist, Mousse to a make up range to compliment your tan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why I brought the product ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have never been a fan of St Tropez products, I have always thought they were over-rated and really not that good, so I know you'll be thinking why did you buy this then? I brought it through pure vanity to tell the truth - I was desperate for a tan and my usual fake tan - Fake Bake had run out, and I didn't want to wait for it to come through the post, as I order on the internet, so I popped into my local salon and picked up a bottle of St Tropez Bronzing Mist. I thought as I'd never used this product so would give...

Review of St. Tropez Bronzing Mist

St Tropez - Good

Advantages: Natural look, Tinted Lotion, Easy to apply, Good price
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to apply, Can stain your hands, clothes etc

...I have tried many Self Tan products over the past couple of years and had heard that St Tropez was good in many reviews, magazines and from friend's that have used the product themselves, so I thought I had better give it ago. I find using a foam self tan easier than some of the spray versions out in the market. St Tropez gives you a lovely, instant colour which is subtle, so you don't look like you have been rolling around in the mud and you get an instant glow whilst your tan is developing. Another advantage of the tint in this lotion, as it allows you to see where you have applied the lotion, which in turn helps prevent streaks. I would definitely recommend using gloves or a sponge whilst applying this product as the tint in the lotion can be difficult to remove from the palms of your hands. However, if you do stain your hands...

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

Not bad and extends a St Tropez Spary tan

Advantages: doesn't smell
Disadvantages: not the cheapest

...I have just returned from a holiday and before i went got fake tanned at my local salon using the St Tropez spray tan, as i was away for 10 days i thought it would be useful to take along a fake tanning product to top up my tan and keep me looking browner than my normal china white!. This St Tropez Everyday Tan was recommended and I thought as my base tan was already St Tropez it would be better to keep to the same. The tan was easy to apply and didn't smell badly like some of the fake tanning products on the market. It did take a wee while to soak in so it was best not to apply just before putting on clothes. The texture was nice not too runny or to gloopy. It managed to extend my fake tan's life by a few days but by around day 7 was beginning to look slightly streaky which wasn't quite the look i was going for. I did like it...

Review of St. Tropez Everyday

St Tropez Self-Tan Mousse

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

...My first experience of St Tropez tanning mousse was approximately 2 years ago when I worked alongside the beauty section within a department store. As part of the promotion within the sunglasses section we all created the summer look, including the use of the St Tropez tan to create that gorgeous beach babe look. Well all I can say is I was very pleasantly surprised. My previous experience of Fake Tan using a pump spray from Garnier left me hideously orange, very much resembling an oompah-loompah from Charlie and the Chocolate factory. Needless to say I was very apprehensive about using fake tan after that point. Prior to tan application, I had to go through all the usual rigour of exfoliation, moisturising and general skin preparation. It's worth noting here that if u plan to defuzz any areas of your body then it's worth doing...

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

Self Tan Body Polisher - St Tropez - Best Around

Advantages: works well, smells good
Disadvantages: price

...St Tropez Body Polisher...... I thought it about time I review one of my favourite beauty products. I have previously reviewed the St Tropez as a self tanner but it wasn't until recently that I used the polisher that goes along with the self tanner and I found this to be very effective and a must if you are using a self tan. The St Tropez body polisher is sold within the kits of St Tropez Self Tanning Systems and depending on the size the prices can range from around £25 from the smaller kits to £60 for the larger kits. The body polisher can be bought separately too for a price of around £15 for the larger sized bottle of 240ml. The design of the body polisher bottle is much the same as the St Tropez tanning cream and moisturiser in the fact that it has a simple white bottle with black lettering and a turquoise edged...
