Bondi Sands



Today I want to introduce you to a gorgeous home grown brand and product, Bondi Sands.
You may already be aware of this brand and kudos to you for already knowing about its greatness! 

Bondi Sands is an Australia brand that has developed affordable, salon quality tanning products! They range from tanning milks, to mousse! I was lucky enough to receive the Bondi Sands Mousse in my glosscars pack, I received the shade ‘dark’. This was a surprisingly good shade for my pasty white skin, I was expecting it to be super dark!

So let me tell you about the application process. I used a mitt, which just happens to be a St Tropez mitt, but it works just the same with any other brand. I pumped a few times on to the mitt and then I swiped down my leg from the top of my thigh. I do this because I don’t want heaps of the product at the base of my leg and on my feet, looks tacky! So I rub this around a bit until the front of my leg from thigh to foot is covered, then I do another pump and apply the same way to the back of my leg. Make sure that you do thoroughly wipe the product on your feet or you’ll get brown legs and pasty white feet!

The good thing about Bondi Sands is that you can leave the tan on for an hour and then wash it off, St Tropez for example requires 3-6 hours for developing. I actually left the tan on overnight which was fine as I liked smelling like a toasted coconut!

That brings me to my favourite part of this fake tan product, the scent! I love me some coconuts! Unlike other fake tan products where you get that awful fake tan scent that just seems to linger on for ages and you can smell it in everything! Bondi Sands smells like coconuts! Yay!

As for the fake tan itself, it develops perfectly! Doesn’t streak at all or look orange, it’s a green based product so you’re going to look brown not orange. It really does look natural, and the dark shade was fine for my white skin, I think I would have been disappointed if I had the lighter shade, I wouldn’t have noticed it much! 

So if you're already a fake tanner or you're looking to start out this is the perfect product for everyone!
