Fake tan - What do you swear by ?

As this is the Irish section and I'm not sure some of the brands sold here in Ireland are sold widely in the UK, I thought I'd ask what you found really good.
I will repurchase Dripping Gold medium mousse. I found it good. I might go for the dark mousse the next time.
I threw out Bellamianta and Tan Organic oil. Both gave patchy results.
Cocoa Brown went green. I'm not alone with this - a reviewer online had the same problem.it happened to her twice.
I love the mitt applicators with a thumb.
Most wash well.

Grin My Mastermind topic.

I'm v Irish in appearance; auburn hair, the whitest-burn-at-1-UV-ray skin, lots of freckles, green eyes.
Ya yah, I should embrace the pale, and I do in winter.
But, summer clothes just look better without the white glow.

Dove body creme one is lovely for a v subtle effect- comes in 2 shades.
Clarins drops - love the idea, nice effect, but I haven't finished the bottle, it's a faff adding it to moisturiser.

Currently using Saint Tropez mousse- very very nice, this year. Flying through this bottle.
Didn't finish the in-shower version, although that was handy.

I have the Penneys St Moritz version...it's ok but again, I havent finished the bottle (always tells me that something isn't quite right).

I have Sally Hansen for the odd occasion when I get caught without having done legs and need to wear ankle length trousers.
Cocoa Brown sticks to my hands, cant get it washed off and end up with dreaded tanned-palms-syndrome. Not had that problem with St Tropez.

Bondi Sands- oh Lord, where to start. Not good. I had the tinted mousse, got stuck staying over somewhere and purchased on a whim. Awful.

All-in-all, this year St Tropez coming out in front.
Never tried the Dripping Gold, but prob will on your recommendation.

EarlofEggMcMuffin
Thank you.
I was thinking of trying Bondi Sands.
I won't bother now.
There is such a selection in shops it is a matter of trial and error.

Can you get Skinny Tan? I can get it in Superdrug up north - I like the Body Glow one. It never streaks and comes up a really good colour after only one application even though it's meant to be a daily body lotion - twice a week is plenty for me to keep the pasty look at bay.

Yes we can get Skinny Tan.
That's great- another recommendation.
