Pale Girl Tans #3 Bondi Sands

Hey lovelies!

Bondi Sands is the latest Tan I have add to my collection. It is a well known Australian brand which I have heard so much hype about! It is only $20 at Priceline so it is super affordable and I really couldn't resist making an impulse buy. I got the Light/ Medium colour because I am still too scared to go dark, I am working my way up.

I used my Le Tan Tanning Mitt to apply the product, like with my J Bronze. The tan go on dark and is slightly lighter than the final colour. I prefer tans that go with colour because it makes the process of fake tanning easy for a beginner like me.  It just helps with not missing spots and having an even tan. The final colour is lighter than the J Bronze although it is a lovely natural colour which is made to be built upon. The label will give you guide for building on the colour, it can be left on longer or applying more tan an hour after the first application. The scent of the tan is a coconut scent and is not unpleasant at all, it is present though.

Will I repurchase this tan? Hell yeah it is a great product and I could easily see it becoming a staple in my beauty collection.

Pale Girl Tans #2 J Bronze by Jennifer Hawkins

Hey all,

As I said last time, I am getting more and more interesting in fake tanning. This weeks tanning post is featuring J Bronze by Jennifer Hawkins Medium Tanning Mousse. It is my first 'high end' fake tan that I have purchased and tested. I can safely say I am a big fan of this product already.

The product was recommend to me while I was in China by one of the girls on the trip so I was pretty interested in trying it when I got home. So when I saw the 40% off fake tan sale at Priceline on boxing day, I was quick to snap this up! I went for the medium colour as even though I was told it was green based I was scared to go too dark. The mousse, I was told will give you a streak free application and with the cost being slightly high I went with the safe choice.

I apply mine with a Le Tan Tanning mitt and have no issues with streaking. It goes on with colour so you can see where you have applied easily, which was the issue I had with the Garnier one.  It takes about four hours for the colour to reach its full darkness which is pretty decent. The smell isn't a bad one and my boyfriend couldn't even smell it on day one of the tan.

The colour itself is in my opinion really natural and dark. I feel like I am very tan with this colour but I think this is because I am used to being extremely pale. It would not be dark enough for a cheerleading competitions, so if that is why you are self tanning go for the darker colour.

Will I repurchase this product as I am already in love with the product and the colour! I will consider trying the darker colour.

Pale Girl Tans #1 Garnier Ambre Solaire

So I am a very new to self tanning, I've always chosen to get a tan professionally  done if I have needed one. For Cheerleading Competitions you need to be extremely tan and I never trusted myself to do this. I have always liked the look of tans though and my collection of self tanners has been growing.

So here is my review of the Garnier Ambre Solaire in Light Natural Bronzer. This product is a spray one and applies clear to the skin. I think that a product that claims to be no streaks shouldn't be clear! The colour itself is decent and looks semi natural, although it is more on the orange side than brown. It isn't green based and that is what you want in a tanner because you won't look orange. The smell of the product is nice and not too fake tan like, though it does have a strong smell. It's more on the fruity side which is enjoyable.

I have to horror stories with this tan. First was that I didn't think it was going to work because it went on clear so I decided to do a test on my arm. I did it on my forearm not thinking that I had work the next day! I had a big orange/brown mark just randomly on my arm for all the customers to see. I didn't think it through at all! The other time because it goes on clear I though I had applied it all over my legs. I was wrong and had streaks all over, I think because I am so new to fake tan that I just failed at knowing where I had applied the tan already.

Will I repurchase this tan, most likely not. At least not in the spray version, I really want to try the rub in version as that is the tan my mother is currently loving. I am not all saying I won't try more Garnier self tanners as I love brand.
