Mini Series: Get The Ibiza Look- Instant Tan

The last post in this series look at creating a gradual tan, this time I looked at creating the Ibizian tan in an instant.

This week I was kindly sent Bronze Ambition Sun Kissed Instant Tan Mist to try and I had brought the Bourjois Delice de Soleil Bronzing Powder Mist last weekend, so decieded to try and compare both.

Bronze Ambition Sun Kisses Instant Tan Mist claims to give a glowing tan which dries instantly while also leaving a moisturising finish. It also has 360° technology meaning you can hold it upside down and it still works. 

There is no claim to how long the tan will stay but it does say it is splash resisitant and can be washed off using soap and warm water.

Bourjois Délice de Soleil Bronzing Powder Mist claims to give a bronzed effect lasting up to a day, dries instantly and is good for the skin.

The Tan Test

Warning: Bare Legs on Show!

These are my legs before, I do have naturally olive skin and have a little extra colour from the St Tropez Gradual Tan.

Although both sprays say they don't need rubbing in, I found the tanning mitt came in helpful to give a more even coverage and it was hard to not accidentally hold the spray on one point for too long.

They did both dry instantly and I had no rub off onto my clothes which I was impresses with. 

Smell wise, Bourjois had a nice chocolate scent and the Bronze Ambition had a fragrance that I can't quite explain but it wasn't unpleasant.

In terms of colour, the Bronze Ambition was defiantly my favourite, the spray is dark brown (as shown in the pic above), whearas the Bourjois was orange.

Below you can see the results, my left leg is using Bronze Ambition and the right is Bourjois.

As you can see both gave a good coverage and colour, the picture doesnt show so well ( I am saving for a new camera!) but the Bronze Ambition defiantly was darker and the Bourjois I found did give me an orange tinge which I wasn't a great fan of.

This picture is 24 hours later and wearing jeans all day (thank you British weather!!). I was impressed with the Bourjois as it had stayed put, although a little faded. The Bronze Ambition had kept some colour but had started to go patchy due to my jeans but as it didn't claim to stay didn't mind too much.

Lastly Bronze Ambition is £4.99 for 150ml and is available online, Poundland and Bodycare. Bourjois is £7.99 for 75ml.

Overall my favourite was Bronze Ambition, it is great value for money and gives a nice dark natural looking tan.

Stay Beautiful
