I think it's called "No Mess Self Tanning Mitt", or something to that effect!

 

[mollythedolly]

Cool! I really have to try it!

 

[MACATTAK]

The Body Shop I went to didn't have the mitt! They said maybe in the summer...what a bummer

 

[Kalico]

How long did the bottle last you? And how long did the tan last before it faded?

I agree with everyone else: you are gorgeous!

Ahhh, that sucks! Maybe there is a similar product elsewhere, I'm thinking perhaps one of those beauty supply stores? I'm not sure! I'd send you one, but I live in Norway, so it would probably be verrrrry expensive - sorry

I can't really remember how long the bottle lasted, but I'm on my second one now, so I'll get back to you

The tan lasts pretty good, as long as you remember to moisturize and don't take loooong hot showers! I'm at my boyfriend's house right now, I've been here since Friday, and applied the tan right before I left, soo ... That's almost a week, and it's starting to fade a little. My legs haven't faded at all though. So, moisturize, and it should last about a week! It might depend on your skin though, but it's longer lasting than others I've tried for sure

And thanks!

I use loreal sublime glow for fair skintones. It has not turned yellow on me and i am very pale. the only thing i have to say is its a bit sparkly and sometimes itches(probably cause of the sparkles). The smell is actually not that bad. I have no problems with streaking either. I have jergens for my face. Only cause my mom bought it and I didnt want to spend money on the loreal one if I already had one at home. I just mix it in with my daily moisturizer. I do this before going to bed so that in the morning most of the smell and sparkles are gone. I then add some of my own body cream

 

[smellyocheese]

you're very beautiful and that tan looks excellent! very healthy and natural

I'm definitely going to try this if I don't have good results with Xen Tan. But, I just hope I can find the mitt you're all talking about.

 

[crystalic_oxyge]

thx for the post... after reading this i got so exited to check it out... and i have bought it Oo ^^
I have no idea how to use self tanners.. so would you tell me how you used yours? please? =)
i mean, do i moisurise before you use it?? leave it soak in or apply the tanner right after it? do you do it over night? by day? put any clothes on? lol... sorry for the questions i just really have no idea how to use it and there are no instructions =(
by the way.... my body shop doesnt have the mitt either (blame austria) -.- so i hope its gonna be ok if i use it with my hands. =/

 

[IDontKnowMomo]

hmmm, maybe I should go tan again...

 

[kristina ftw!]

That's a really good idea, with the body cream and daily moisturizer

We do have the L'Oreal Sublime here as well, I remember trying it a couple of years back, but I didn't care for it. However, I believe the formula might have changed, or the US formula is different alltogether, because I keep hearing raves about it from US people

Yeah, apparently people are having trouble finding it :s But I think maybe it'll be easier to come across now that summer's coming!

What I do is I take a shower and exfoliate with a scrub and exfoliating gloves. RIGHT after I come out of the shower I put on my regular body lotion, and then about 30 minutes later I apply the tanner. I do it at night, because it's just more convenient to me

I'm sure you could do it during the day as well, but I haven't had trouble with it rubbing off on my sheets, so night time is fine. Hope that helps! If you have any other questions, just throw 'em my way

Haha, I started to tan pretty recently, but I haven't had time for tanning beds lately, so these days I'm using self tanner again

Now, here's a little juicy fact for you: Hair is often lightened by the sun. So, it's completely natural that the more recent hair growth is a little darker than the lenghts, when it's winter and no sun! ^_^

I had hair lighter than your hair when I was five.. now it's the darkest blond possible.. any darker and it'd be brown! My point is having a light hair color when you were younger doesn't make your hair that color, though you know whether you dye your hair or not, I'm not trying to say your hair is dyed, at all!
Also, about your comment on your roots: I can honestly say I can't think of a single person with a natural hair color who's roots are not a bit darker than the rest of their hair (the longer it is, the bigger difference!).
Your hair is GORGEOUS!

Please don't ever dye it!!!!!

 

[iluffyew769769]

That looks really good. Thank you for posting this as I too am a very white girl!

 

[mac*lover]

you are a super beautiful women , wow !!! with your super hottttt natural hair color that tan looks super hot on you

 

[Kayteuk]

After reading the post I went and brought 2 bottles, one of the face one, and one body one, a christian dior bag, and a self tanning mit! Heres to hoping =D
I have exactly the same fair skin as you =) So lets hope it works the same!

 

[pinkvanilla]

You are gorgeous! That is such a great colour on you

 

[lexiesupagirl]

I bought this because of your post Kristina

pics are great. i didnt use it yet, but cant wait!

 

[Anemone]

Oh, nice! You look really good in those pictures! I'll have to check this out, I'm really pale too. Everyone please share if it works! I've been looking for a good self tanner for ages!

 

[Kalico]

I tried this the other day. It didn't smell nasty like others do, at all, probably because it is somewhat perfumed. I totally botched it though. That's me and self tanners for ya.
