St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse Review

I am seriously in love! I will never ever let myself be without the St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse, honestly it's my holy grail at the moment.
Before we moved to London, back home I started getting mystic tans at the salon, it gave such quick and good results! But in London mystic tans were much more expensive than at home, so I couldn't quite justify it. Especially since it really only lasted about 3 days. I'd been eyeing the St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse for a couple of months and I finally convinced myself I had to try it! I bought it on Saturday, but since we ended up going out that night for drinks I decided to apply it Sunday night after our workout. I was so excited, that I almost forgot to take a before shot haha but I remembered right at the last moment! It's not the best quality picture, but you can tell I was pretty pale before to say the least! My boyfriend even asked me to even out his golf tan, which was perfect so I could test it out and see how it applied! It was super simple and easy, I used the St. Tropez Tanning Mitt which made the world of difference. I do recommend still wearing some gloves under the mitt, since it can seep through the mitt. It blended so well and because of the color guard you could see where you were applying and what spots you missed. It took me about 20 minutes to apply it all over my body and face. I used the latex gloves and some triangle makeup sponges to apply it to my face, I put it on just as if I was applying foundation. I let it dry for about 15 minutes and then put my pajamas on and went to sleep. Easy peasy! When I woke up I could definitely see the tan had developed but I knew that the color guard would wash off in the shower. The color turned out so nicely and it definitely looks really natural, it gives you more of a brown look rather than orange, as some self tanners can. The flash distracts from the color in the after shot but I think you can still see the difference!
Before
After
There's still tons of product left as well! In order to preserve the color I've been applying the Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer as an everyday lotion, after my shower and before I go to bed. Just to keep my skin moisturized, too prolong my tan and to add a little glow as well! I'm so impressed with St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse and my only regret is not purchasing it sooner! It's a bit pricey as it was $49.50 and the Tanning Mitt was $7.50, but comparing it to most spray tans that run for about $30. It's a pretty good deal, since you'll get many applications from the St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse, not to mention the ability to do it whenever you want, in the privacy of your own home! I definitely give St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse a 10/10! I would never go back to getting spray tans now that I have St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse, and I will continue to repurchase this for sure! If you want me to do another post going in more detail exactly how I applied it, especially to my face, feet and hands just let me know in the comments! 

Happy Living!

Sephora and Shoppers Drug Mart Haul

Today I set out to pick up a few things on my wish list and a few things I needed. I just went out to Sephora and Shoppers Drug Mart so here's what I picked up!
1. St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse - This is what I was most excited to go out and pick up! I've had my eye on this for a couple of months, and I finally decided to go for it! After weeks of research and seeing other's experiences with it I just couldn't not give it a try! I will definitely be doing a review of this and letting you guys know what I think and will include some before and after shots! So be on the lookout for that soon!


2. St. Tropez Tan Applicator Mitt - I bought this to go along with the bronzing mousse (of course!). Everything I read about the process said the mitt helped a lot and made it so much easier to apply and blend!


3. Life Latex Medical Examination Gloves - I bought these to use with the St. Tropez self tan, I know when applying my feet and face these will come in handy. Since it would be difficult to get to the small places with the mitt, and I don't want orange hands!


4. Quo Cosmetic Spade Sponges - I picked this up to apply the St. Tropez self tan to my face, I read that this is the easiest way to get a precise application! And tanning the face in my mind is one of the most important places!


5. Certified Organic Cotton Pads - I just picked these up as I ran out a couple days ago, and have been using toilet tissue to remove my eye makeup and it's just not as gentle! I definitely needed to pick these up again!


6. Balea Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover - I also am about to run out of this as well, so I picked up a back up, and I don't want to be without. This works so well to remove my eye makeup so easily and quickly!


Happy Living!
