I love the color

Absolutely amazing fake tan in terms of colour, ease of application and longevity. I've tried a LOT of fake tans and this was my favorite for years. Sadly, one day after using it on and off for 5 years my body decided it would become allergic to it, breaking out in a rather nasty dermatitis and that is why I won't be buying it again. The foolproof formula covers evenly wherever it's applied so streaks just don't occur. I would use this over st tropez as it has a bit of a darker colour, which lasts around 3-4 days.

I have been fake tanning for around 10 years now, and have tried absolutely every fake tan on the market. This is my absolute favourite one.I have used it in the mousse and the cream, and find that I prefer the mousse only because it is easier to apply with the fake tan mit. Applying the cream with the mit is a bit tricky, BUT I find the lotion more hydrating and the mousse not as hydrating. That being said, the mousse doesn't dry my skin and is the most beautiful colour. I love that it is tinted, and dries quickly and doesn't have a disgusting smell. I usually apply before bed and wash off in the morning. I have fair freckly skin, and this formula flatters me the most. I also apply to my face, and doesn't clog my pores like most other tans do (ok I get that most aren't designed for face).I just hate that it is so expensive, but I do get around 3 whole body applications from one foam bottle. Use with a mit for the best result!!!

As a self confessed fake tan addict, I hate to admit that this is my favourite tan. Every time a new tan comes on the market I scheme my way to own it, but I always come back to my first love. I bought this particular tan in its lotion form, that way it is smoother and more moisturising which I find helps me blend flawlessly, more so than the mousse type. The colour is as natural as it gets, applying with a deep red tone tan and drying to a beautiful, deep, golden tan, leaving you looking like a naturally bronzed goddess (and smelling like fresh laundry) with no hint of orange. The packaging is Ella Bache's signature blue squeeze tube which allows you to control the amount of lotion you wish to use, which is so handy for touch ups! The only downside is that, being a lotion, it takes a while to dry (5-10 minutes) but trust me, the patience wears off. Xx Tan Queen K

This gets one lippy off for the fact that it doesn't last. It is streak free, smells ok, and best of all it is so DARK! this is what I reach for when I need to look tanned that night. I wear it to weddings etc. but its not great for the beach as it seems to wash off a bit.
