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

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...

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

...than £2 so save your pennies on all the advertised application products as the cheaper versions serve exactly the same purpose. Alternatively Boots do a self tan mitt for about £3.50 and St Tropez latex gloves 5 pairs for £2.50 so you can still get the same products if you don't have a hardware store near you. So now onto the tanning itself. Ensure you have plenty of time and that you're not in a hurry when applying your tan. If you're planning to wear it for an event or night out then it's worth doing you're tanning at least the evening before, if not longer where possible, for reasons I will explain a bit later. Ensure you shake the mousse bottle well before application. If you do it correctly then it should start off as a liquid then froth up until you can barely hear anything being shaken in the bottle. One or 2 pumps of the mousse...

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

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

St Topez Self Tan lotion

Advantages: Bottle last a long time
Disadvantages: Tan can wash off very easily

...When using this product you had to start in stages by doing a small section at a time. I found it was easier starting with the legs and spraying the product onto my leg then using an old sponge to spread it around as this product stains your hands terribly. It gave you a very good overall tan, although you needed to be sure you had covered all areas. I thought I had covered my feet an ankles well until the product had completely dried and I realised I had patches. I feel this is a good tanning product and the tan is very natural, however it washes off very easily and rubs of when near clothing. The bottle lasts a long time but dont quite feel it is worth the money as there is better products out there which are less hassle....

Review of St. Tropez Self Tan Lotion

Bye Bye stale biscuit smell! St Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse

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...

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

St tropez self tan 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 self tan 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 self tan 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 - self tan mousse - body polisher and moisturiser. This is what i purchased first to try it out, i now buy them seperately as they...

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

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

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

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...
