Livpool · 26/04/2019 16:16

Got mine today - can't wait to try it xx

BLACKTUESDAY1 · 26/04/2019 16:18

Mine came today. Looking forward to trying it! Smile

ChocAuVin · 26/04/2019 16:18

Hurrah! The mousse arrived today. Can’t wait to try it over the weekend! Smile

macncheese87 · 26/04/2019 16:34

Mine arrived today and I was so excited I put a bit on my hand. It's slowly developed into a lovely glow and I'm so impressed with it already.

I have the jelly and it smells lovely. It really doesn't leave any residue. I was worried the colour wouldn't be strong enough but so far so good.

Only time will tell if the smell is too much though. Thanks Mumsnet and Sunkissed!

ScarlettDarling · 26/04/2019 16:45

I've got mine too, looking forward to applying it this weekend. Smells really nice.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 26/04/2019 18:19

Ive got mine! It's a bit coconutty (not a fan) but better than biscuits. Just have to hide it from dd!

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 26/04/2019 18:29

@mumsnethq do we get picked for these out of a lottery or based on what we write?

Mummyh2016 · 26/04/2019 18:38

Mine arrived today, I missed the email saying I'd been chosen so it was a lovely surprise coming home to a parcel Grin

torthecatlady · 26/04/2019 19:31

Mine came today! Can't wait to try it and have a lovely tan for a change!

Sagradafamiliar · 26/04/2019 19:51

Mine arrived today. Lovely box and nice packaging of the actual prouduct. Loved my little personalised card too. This is my first ever fake tan use apart from body lotions with tan in. I did some prep this morning and exfoliated as they say to. I have the mousse and have just applied using the mitt. Easy to do. Lovely texture with a slight sparkle to it. Has gone on well and colour looks great at the moment. It dried quickly and smells fine. No strong smell at all, just a coconut hint. So I'll give it 5 hours and return!!

PointlessUsername · 26/04/2019 21:12

Just applied and it smells like Holiday.
Best smelling fake tan i have ever used.

FiremanKing · 26/04/2019 21:21

Mine arrived today. I got the mousse in dark.

I am a seasoned fake tanner and have tried lots of different ones, but usually go back to St Tropez.

This one is an easy apply mousse, smells very nice and not at all sticky.

macncheese87 · 26/04/2019 21:53

Well, I smell amazing. I agree with PP, it smells like holiday. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 26/04/2019 23:30

Oh, I'm very excited about finding mine when I get home! Typical it arrives when I've just gone away for the weekend...

Crissylou84 · 27/04/2019 14:36

Received mine yesterday, I’ve got the dark mousse. Looking forward to trying it!

chambord · 27/04/2019 21:47

So, see earlier post for first impressions. I rinsed off after about 5 hours and I really like the colour. I was worried it would be too dark but it's not. It's a lovely colour and I look like I've been in the sun for a few days. Definitely a convert to fake tan and will continue to use. Looked up the price earlier and it's very reasonable too. Also like the 'natural' element to it too.

person10101 · 27/04/2019 22:20

The bits that I didn't miss are lovely. I was worried it would be too light when I put it on, and then too dark when it developed but after a rinse it was really nice.

I think I will try again in a couple of days. Really impressed so far. Just need to get the knack for applying!

TheRealHousewifeofCheshire · 27/04/2019 22:28

Do.you have the jelly

person10101 · 27/04/2019 22:36

I used the jelly. At first I thought it would be too light because it is clear (don't know the logic behind that thinking!) but it developed quite dark. I missed a bit under my ankle and in between my fingers, but had I tried harder it would have been easy.

It dried so well, wasn't sticky at all. But easy to forget where you've applied quite quickly.

PickledWilly · 27/04/2019 22:53

First application of the dark mousse and like it so far. Lovely coconutty smell and good colour. Seemed to stick a bit to the skin on my arms that was a bit dry. Excited to see the colour in the morning

Livpool · 28/04/2019 00:01

I put my usual brand on Thursday night so excited for it to wear off and apply the mousse.

Yes - I am quite sad

MiaowMix · 28/04/2019 17:49

Just applied the jelly. Really nice texture and scent, I'm a sucker for that holiday vibe.😎🌴☀️

Will report back with how it develops. I do already have a bit of a natural tan though but hopefully this will enhance and prolong it.

Can I just check if the jelly comes in medium/dark? I was sent the light/medium version although I thought I chose dark. Or is that just the mousse?

pushingdaisies · 28/04/2019 21:07

Just put mine on! I got the mousse in dark. Lovely colour and smell so far, a little went a really long way and it was so easy to apply! Normally I'm sticky after tanning and I hate that feeling - but I'm dry after a few minutes. If it develops nicely I'll be converted to this I think. The quick drying time is the best thing for me so far. Will check back in in the morning - I'm going to let it develop over night and shower it off in the morning.
We go on our honeymoon tomorrow so I'm hoping to be lovely and tanned for it!
