Bought this today as apparently really good and want to have brown legs.

I got the one for fairer skin.

Anyone else used it?

It is v good! I tend to put a wee bit of body lotion on knees and other dry bits just before application and haven't had a problem. That was with the original one though.

Good Luck!

I clicked on this hoping you'd used it and were going to say it's good stuff. My legs are blueish white milk bottles Blush - yuk!! So I'm looking for one that looks ok on fairer skin.

Go on go on I dare you - take the plunge and let us knowGrin

babaworshipper - do u spray and then rub in?

OP posts:
babaworshipper · 15/05/2006 15:59

I do indeed! make sure you really scrub your hands afterwards and use as little as you can on dry bits. I spray then blend towards dry bits seems to work!

Not sure tbh. I am told I am pale but am olive rather than milky iyswim. Dark brown eyes and hair. I do tan well if given the chance and have never burned. Certainly one go of the normal one is plenty to look tanned.

I have been trying the johnstons one for fair skin with some success but it is taking ages to build up so have bought the dark one to try.

You might want to keep a dry facecloth handy to help you hold onto the bottle to spray it. I seem to go back and forward between hands and it gets slippy!

Only reason trying johnstons is because my small (2) keeps charging in mid app of the loreal one and was looking a bit streaky in parts!

I sound similar to you then baba.

I use johnson and use a tanning mitt so that it doesn't streak. Just can't do backs of legs.

Also I use sally Hansen leg make up for one off occassions. Really good.

Spray one fab for back of legs! It sprays upside down sideways the lot. Must try a tanning mitt, any suggestions?

babaworshipper · 15/05/2006 16:26

Never tried Sally hansen hmmmm, new product to try gleam in eyes!

I got my mitt in the body shop. Never have streaks using it. You can't help but streak when using your hands but with this you don't.

Can I just say that the Ambre Solaire is on offer and is £5.99, instead of £9.99. Asked the woman who worked in Superdrug and she said it is one of the top sellers and sells out even when not on promotion. So I took that as a good sign!

And?? How are the legs this morning?

Original poster
Blossomhill · 16/05/2006 16:19

baba - well they are slightly streaky but I have only myself to blame as used hands to rub in instead of mitt Shock

I was really impressed with colour though so have reapplied using the old faithful mitt Grin

update tomorrow!
