Yes girls, we all know the struggle, trying to get that summer glow all year round.
Well I have the answer.....
So the lovely Nicole at Gordon's chemists sent me a beautiful gift set of Vita Liberata goodies.
As a fan girl of all things tanning I was so excited to try this.
It comes in a beautiful gift box which includes a tanning mitt, the Vita Liberata fabulous self- tanning tinted mousse and the Vita Liberata fabulous illuminate wash off body bronzer.
Firstly I have to say my personal preference for self tanning is definately a mousse.I feel like it goes on better to the skin and I prefer the consistency of the tan. The vita liberata mitt is a perfect partner for this tan and its super soft and is machine washable. The key for me is to apply a good moisturiser about an hour before you apply your tan to have that smooth flawless finish. The aspect about this tan that I found interesting was the shape of the pump nozzle- its was almost triangular which gave the packaging a sophisticated look, but also I found I was able to get an ample amount of product onto the mitt neatly.. Tell me I'm not the only one who has sprayed mousse all over my bathroom floor?
In terms of colour, this mousse is perfect if you like a buildable tan.
I decided to really put it to the test and layer it over a period of 3 days. One layer is a very natural glow which is gorgeous for midweek and during the day, but if you want to apply more on top of that layer it doesn't smudge or streak- YAY! I also found that with moisturising at night ( I use coconut body butter from the body shop) really helped the tan last and it didn't wear off patchy.. RESULT! My only slight critique is that the drying time is a good 10 minutes.. but you cant rush perfection so I'm happy to flick through Instagram for 10 minutes to wait for it to dry.
I literally looked like a had been away to Barbados for a week- it's the perfect holiday in a bottle!
The wash off tan is great for those quick fixes you need when you haven't had time to do a proper application- it goes on so well to your skin and gives you a lovely deep tan. Perfect for those spontaneous nights out with the girls- Verdict 10/10.
All in all, I'm really impressed with the brand and I think it has over taken my trusty St Tropez.
So girls if you need that 'Barbados in a bottle' head to your local Gordon's Chemist and pick up some and to add to all the good news I have about this tan it also wont break the bank. Gordons currently have both tans on offer... you can buy the mousse here:
