the new one as a lovely present.
Has anyone used it? It has rave reviews, you add it to your regular moisturiser

I've just finished a bottle, it took a year to do so. Have already repurchased. I do build it up over a few nights for noticeable colour but it was perfect in the winter for keeping the grey skin at bay.

I bought a bottle at duty free last week so only £15. I've been using it ever since. Really like it! I add two drops to my Clarins night cream and I have a nice glow in the morning. I think I'm addicted! Just don't forget to wash your hands afterwards.

Didn't know there was a body one...off to look.

How's your face this morning Badger?

BadgersArse · 13/05/2015 06:21

Well no different. You simply can't tell.

Are you absolutely sure? Have you asked your DC's if they can see a difference. I am worried you have gone all TOWIE and are just not seeing it whilst people flee from your orange face Wink

BadgersArse · 13/05/2015 06:31

Well I've been a sobbing all night. So look grim. I'll ask son

Him using the Garnier 'One Week Glow' - can be used on its own but I add it to my facial moisturiser. Works for me (can be a tad 'flat' but I use the Laura Mercier Illuminating Primer, so that 'lifts' me).

About £7 I think...

SinglePringle · 13/05/2015 06:47

*I'm using...

Dunno what himself is using....

Oh dear - I do feel for you very much Sad

I bought this a month ago, it makes my (sallow but pale from the winter) face only about a half a shade darker. That is after upping the mix to 8 drops to my moisturiser,and applying morning and night for a week. And 8 drops made my face stink just like every other fake tan I ever tried - like gingernut biscuits - ugh! I see no "glow" either. Was bitterly disappointed with this product.

BadgersArse · 14/05/2015 06:25

Just got up to look. Tiny amount of moisturiser on the end of a fingertip. 5 plus drops. Virtually nothing.

Maybe you could take a daily selfie and post it

YourBubzYourRulzHun · 14/05/2015 10:43

Just bought the face one for £17 with delivery from Escentual, will update when it comes and I use it.

YourBubzYourRulzHun · 16/05/2015 12:52

Ok it's just arrived. I can't put it in night cream as I'm currently using Dr Hauschka Rythmic Conditioner (another recommendation from S&B!) so I'll use it in my daytime cream.
It says on the leaflet to only use with Clarins Moisturiser but I've got La Roche Posay at the moment. I'll throw caution to the wind and just add it to that. What's the worst that can happen? face falls off by the evening due to chemical reaction of products

Maverick66 · 16/05/2015 16:36

Do any of you ladies have open pores? If so, do you find it clogs them? And makes your face look dirty? If not I would like to try it. When I've used other such products tho, it has settled in my pores ;-(. But perhaps the secret is to mix it with moisturiser.

YourBubzYourRulzHun · 17/05/2015 13:10

I couldn't wait to try it so I ditched the Dr Hauschka for one night and mixed the Clarins with some serum. I definitely had a 'glow' this morning. I added some to daytime moisturiser too but all I can smell now is fake tan so I'm just going to do one night with Clarins and then the next with Dr Hauschka.
I have large pores maverick and no, it hasn't settled in them.
It's magic really. Just looks like I've been out in the sun for a day or two.

louloubelle2 · 17/05/2015 13:18

The Clarins lady in my Boots said it works with any moisturiser, but if you wanted to buy it and use it with Clarins only, the current Boots buy 2 get 3 samples free includes a body moisturiser and three different sorts of face moisturiser, all decent sizes.

BadgersArse · 17/05/2015 16:43

it CANT be magic
