Review by Bec and Beauty

Today I thought I would add another fake tan review to the blog, although I have written several already! I guess it just shows the variety of products that are on the market, and how they can be compared.

This one is the Bondi Sands self tanning foam in dark. You can read my previous review on the Bondi Sands self tanning lotion here. Because I adored the product and brand so much, I repurchased, but decided to try the foam/mousse instead of the lotion, just for something different. The first mousse I tried was the Reef self-tanning mousse (review here) and I was thoroughly impressed with the formula, so it led me to buying the Bondi Sands version.

Let me start off by saying, I am sold on this formula forever. Whilst I had no problems with lotions, mousse is just so much easier to spread and blend, and I find that it also dries faster than lotion. The Bondi Sands foam has the characteristic coconut scent which is delicious, and the product is green-based, so that a beautiful bronze colour develops with no hint of orange whatsoever. Originally I did prefer lotions, but I will happily eat my words now!

I apply this tan with a mitt in order to keep my hands from changing colour too much, and it couldn't be easier. I use one pump for each arm and two pumps for each leg. The pump in the bottle disperses a perfect amount of product. The bottle is 200ml size and retails for $19.99 at Priceline. After application you can wash your skin after 1 hour, but the tan may be left on for up to 6 hours before it fully develops. I generally will apply and let it develop overnight.

In comparison to the Bondi Sands lotion, I feel that this leaves less of a green colour to my skin, and I do think that it develops marginally quicker than the lotion. I am always so happy with the colour that my skin is after using this product. The tan also lasts for a great amount of time, generally I can get 5-7 days from one application before the tan becomes patchy. In terms of fading, this one is very natural, and will remain natural looking for almost a week. Sometimes I forget that I have fake tan on because it looks so natural!

Overall I am super happy with this product and I feel it is well worth the price tag. Most times I purchase when it's on sale, which is an added bonus! I also love the fact that Bondi Sands is made in Australia, nothing I like more than supporting an Aussie brand!

Have you tried Bondi Sands? What did you think?

Cheers! Bec x
