I thought I would introduce a blog that I will update every Monday. This will go on until the very last Monday of this year and I will see if I would like to bring it back next year (:
This weeks is a compare as well (:
I'm a very pale person which you can probably tell from pictures and I HATE it at this time of year. As everyone is tanning up a storm and then there's me, white as a ghost. This year I decided to become pro-active about this situation and self tan. So this week I have been testing two brands of tanning product.
 |
| Gariner Ambre Solaire 150 mL - $16.99 Bondi Sands Light/Medium 200mL - $15.00 |
Both of these products say that they do not have a tanning smell and they are in fact telling the truth. The Garnier product does not have a smell that is distinct compared to the Bondi Sands 'Coconut' smell. Both of these bottles are foam and come out easily, without major hesitation.
Let me begin by talking specifically about the Bondi Sands tanning solution
This product is easy to apply and smells lovely (although it does give everything you wear that smell). The light/medium was a perfect match for my skin with just one layer. This week I left it on for 3 hours and the tone was perfect. It lasted for just under a week without any moisturizer (as I was just testing I didn't moisturize everyday). I couldn't find anything bad about this product and the lasting power was wonderful.
The Gairner product was more expensive in this instance however this product really disappointed me. When you first apply the product and wait it looks like you are going to have this wonderful orange tan and have a sort of glow, however when washed off (after 3 hours) you can only see a hint of the tan, which meant I would have had to spend another 3 hours the next day making it darker (which I did not since I did not have time). However the product did apply nicely to my skin and does not have a 'tanning' smell.
So overall, I would repurchase and use Bondi Sands again and may give Gairner another try when I have more time.
See you soon!
