Imgoing to get some after work. It can't work. But I'm willing to try. (After the disappointment of the clarins thing )

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 17:11

Itsalldramarama · 24/05/2015 18:05

Damn ! They had some in my local boots today ! Was tempted but a bit nervous so I didn't buy any ! .. Next time :)

homebythesea · 24/05/2015 18:12

People get it delivered to your local Boots so no hunting round for it! I'm just cursing that my teeny branch is closed for Bank Holiday so I won't be able to pick it up till Tues -bah

Lndnmummy · 24/05/2015 19:05

Oh lovely, I walked past it in boots today..ladies did you use it on your face?

trixymalixy · 24/05/2015 19:10

Oh bugger, just read that it has almond oil in it, which is a no go as DS reacts to just being near almonds. Sad

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 19:13

try one leg? Grin

Oh I've just bought the Clarins Glow Booster - is it awful?

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 19:57

Any idea how you maintain it once you've got the colour you want?

Vivacia · 24/05/2015 20:30

Put it on less often?

I'm going to try this the next time I'm working away from home. It gives me something to do in the hotel room other than work and the tan doesn't go on my sheets

StrawberrytallCake · 24/05/2015 20:45

I'VE FOUND A STREAK!!!! Usual place....back of forearm, will be more cautious tomorrow.

I do love the fact I can just leave it in the shower and don't have to bother tip-toeing around trying to dry after applying...please let it work!!!!

BadgersArse · 24/05/2015 21:26

Went to gym so showered again. Reapplied

Ordered 3for2 from Boots. Hope it doesn't get consigned to the fake tan graveyard I have in my bathroom Hmm

BabyGanoush · 25/05/2015 08:39

ALL fake tan ends up stinking of wet biscuits.

ALL

BadgersArse · 25/05/2015 08:43

No smell either

Love it! although I didn't do my face; as I've aged my skin has got drier and fake tan makes my facial skin look like a dried raisin.

I'm sunkissed after two applications and no streaks that I can see.

It seems good value at first but I can see it being used up fairly quickly so quite expensive imo, will probably repurchase though.

I froze my arse off in those three minutes though!

Same here, collecting tomorrow. Eeek!

ggirl · 25/05/2015 19:51

just used it , need to take a watch into bathroom next time, was dripping there trying to figure out how long 3 minutes is.

agree if it works it seems like it may be an expensive habit

NerdyBird · 25/05/2015 21:53

must try this. most fake tans are too dark for me, and the moisturiser ones usually smell funny or take ages to sink in. Plus, with 11 month old baby to look after speedy beauty stuff is good!

ggirl · 26/05/2015 09:28

very subtle result , will do again.
I did get a few marks where i didn't rub in the blobs that fell on my feet properly.

WendyTorrance · 26/05/2015 09:54

Ooh, the fake tan graveyard. I cleared my bathroom cupboard of loads of bottles of tan yesterday in anticipation of this wonderful product being delivered.

If it goes tits up I'm holding some it you lot responsible .
