Sun Shimmer Self Tan Mousse

Review!

If you have been watching my recent Youtube videos lately then you probably would have heard me

banging on about how much I have been DIY self tanning at home lately. Well here is one of the main

products I have been using in my daily tanning routine. Rimmel London's Sun Shimmer Self Tan

Mousse is available in your choice of 'Light Matte', 'Medium Matte' or 'Dark Matte.' I have been

using the Dark Matte shade and initially I was thinking it was going to be WAY too dark for my super

light skin, as usually I will either tan gradually or stick to the light tanning shades so not to over do it.

However this 'Dark Matte' shade wasn't OOT at all and looked super natural on the skin. No orange

tinge to it AT ALL, it is beautifully chocolaty brown and looks flawless!

This 150ml pump style bottle to so easy to use and as you can see from the image above, this is the

amount of product you get with just one pump which was enough for me to apply one coat to my

whole leg top to bottom. Honestly though once I first applied it which dried in just a few seconds

I thought it really wasn't giving me enough colour so I applied an extra coat to see how it would

develop within the recommended hour. Once the hour was up the formula had darkened only slightly

on my skin so was still looking very natural.

After 3 weeks of application each day my tan quickly built up into a sun kissed glow and not too dark

that I was unrecognisable! It lasts up to 7 days so after over month of using this it has maintained an

all over even shade as I have been exfoliating every few days in-between which washes some of the

colour off each time.

Overall I would really recommend this self tanning mousse to both beginners and long time users of

DIY self tans as it is not only a great price, the mildly scented moisturising, light foam is up there in

terms of a budget friendly product. The quality is as good as the more expensive brands in my

opinion and experience.

Available NOW at Priceline & other selected stores for only $16.95
