Easy to use and streak free
I've tried others but St Tropez products are always the nicest to use . Lovely deep tan that can be controlled in depth , no streaking. Very little goes a long way if you use the mitt as well, which put together seem expensive, but worth it. Quite a strong smell when applying. But I have found it great for using before a night out. Would definitely buy in future

Just the right shade
The first thing noticed was the smell. Not like many tanning mousses, there was a really pleasant aroma. Subtle but not over powering smell. Then the application, coupled with the mitt provided is was an easy application over the whole buddy and took less than ten minutes. There was very little in the way of dark patches or streaks like there often can be, which is impressive with the depth of colour. The colour was on point for me. I prefer a darker richer colour and this was a lovely dark olive colour that looked very natural. Eight hours was the suggested time to leave it on, which was followed and only really left against stain on clothes, again impressive when the colour is so dark. Quick shower and I was left with a lovely all over tan which looked natural and a rich dark olive colour. Very little in the way of streaks, a few marks round the fingers and toes but that’s to be expected. The colour lasted very well and faded over time rather than patchy! An excellent product!

A very good tan
This is a very good tan. First of all, the formula dries incredibly quickly, so you need to work fast and rub it in a lot, but the streak-free finish is well worth the effort. There is a slight fake tan smell, but that's just how these products work - there's far less of that fake tan smell in this one than in other similar products. As for the actual colour, I wouldn't say it's all that dark with one coat - I'd recommend applying two for a truly ultra dark tan. What it is, however, is definitely NOT orange. Not a hint of orange at all, in fact the mousse itself looks quite ashen at first, and the tan has an overall cool, olivey tone. I like it a lot, as it looks more natural than a warmer, red-based tan. It lasts for a solid 5 days before it starts to fade, and it does so very evenly, and any remnants are easily exfoliated away the night before I reapply. It is a very good tan - perhaps a little on the expensive side, but in my view, worth it, especially for special occasions.

Deep and natural looking tan
Product came with tanning mit for ease of application, product itself smells really nice! However on application I felt it tried in really quickly so was harder to smooth out and get rid of streaks, however once this was done it tried quickly. I left on overnight and washed off the following morning, and the result was amazing!! I found that it didn’t streak at all after applying and washing off. Tan lasts for a great amount of time and would definitely be buying this product in the future as I currently use sunbeds but self tanning gives a darker and quicker result.

Holiday in a bottle
My partner tried out this product and overall was pleased with the end result. Firstly, it was simple to apply and left no streaks or patchy marks as experienced with other products and the final colour once dried was exactly what was expected. It also smelt better than other tanning products and didn’t leave a strong, lingering smell once applied.

Love this self tan
It goes on so dark that you can see any streaks or patches. It dries down quickly. I leave it on for about 4 hours before washing off and come out with a beautiful even, natural looking tan! Love it!

Smells amazing, gorgeous tan
I was very pleasantly surprised by this tan as I wasn't too sure what to initially expect given it was 'Ultra Dark Violet' (I was worried there'd be too much purple undertone!). But this created the perfect 'non-orange' base. I loved the colour. The tan was quite difficult to rub into my skin at times, but it meant that there were no streaks once I had finished applying. It dries down SO quickly! And there were no tan marks in my bed after sleeping at night. Also, the smell is divine, a lot better than other tans on the market.

Lovely results
I really liked the results, however I did find the application of this product quite hard work. It feels quite ‘thick’ and doesn’t spread very well so I was really concerned that I was going to be patchy / blotchy and spent a lot of time trying to spread the product evenly… saying that… the actual finish of the tan is lovely. Streak free, natural glow, lush colour, and really didn’t even look like a fake tan product. It then gradually faded which I was really pleased with, no mottling or patchiness at all, I just gradually changed back to my pastier complexion. Over all I would buy this again. For all I found it hard work to apply, the end result was worth it and I feel I got a good length of time out of the results.

New holy grail fake tan!
Officially the best fake tan I’ve tried! I have been wearing fake tan for over a decade, always opting for the darkest shade but even 2 layers is never as dark as my natural tan in the summer, however, this tan is as it says ultra dark. Put this on before bed and shower off in the morning and you’re left with such a lovely deep golden brown. The tan develops even deeper as the day goes on. I normally use green based tans as red based look orange on me but the violet base in this is even more perfect for my pale olive skin. Definitely the closest fake tan shade to my skin when I’ve been on holiday. The tan lasted over a week, slowly fading with each shower and didn’t go patchy. Also used on my face and didn’t cause any breakouts. Can’t rave about this enough, it’s my new go to tan!!

Lovely deep, dark tan
This was a lovely tan to use, easy application and the colour looked great after a few hours developing. The violet tones counteracted any orangeness in a usual tan, ensuring the colour was a lovely olive tone. The included mitt gave a lovely application without streaks or patchiness.

The New Go-To!
I love self tanning, have done for years and have tried MANY. Creams, gradual mousse, spray etc. I have always loved the St Tropez brand, and after trying this I believe this will be by new go to product. I love that you only have to leave it on an hour, and the colour is gorgeous.
