Bondi Sands Dark Tanning Foam Review

bondi sands dark tanning foam review

 A couple of months ago, I decided to give in and purchase the Bondi Sands tan for £15. I'm so used to just paying a fiver for my all time fave, St Moriz. But, I had seen so many amazing before and after results on insta and so many great reviews on YouTube so I just had to give it a go. I have been using this tan for about two months now and I'm very impressed!

The application of Bondi Sands is the easiest I've ever come across with fake tanning. There hasn't been one time where I've been streaky with this tan. Sometimes I get a few lines from where I've rubbed the tan in with the mitt and it leaves a line where I had stopped. But, I simply just pat over the lines with my mitt and they disappear straight away. I also love that you can see where you've applied the tan onto your body so you can see which areas you've missed.

It also smells amazing too. I usually don't mind that 'biscuit' smell that everyone talks about when they fake tan anyway but this one doesn't smell of that at all. It still smells like fake tan but it also smells like coconut which is lush. 

I usually apply my tan just before I go to bed and sling on some baggy, comfy pjs. The amount of tan that comes off onto your clothes is ridiculous! There's literally no chance you can wear those pjs a second night. The tan can also leave a reddish stain on your pillowcase - although, it easily comes out with that good ol' Vanish Gold.
So after around 8 hours, I jump into the shower to rinse it off. A lot of colour washes off and it did make me panic the first time I used this. But once you're all dry, you have the most even, natural bronzed looking tan ever. This tan lasts around six days for me along with the correct ways to maintain it.

So many people have commented on my tan and says how I'm glowing and that it really suits me. Bondi Sands states that their self tanning foam has a green undertone to prevent the orange colour which is a lifesaver! I'm so pale and always struggle with fake tan brands - I normally turn an orangey colour which really isn't a good look. But with this, it looks like I have been sitting out in the sun for a few hours and haven't burnt haha. This tan is most definitely worth every penny and I recommend to everyone. I won't be going back to St Moriz anytime soon. 

Have you ever tried Bondi Sands?

  1. The before and after results are so good! I love fake tanning and I love the smell as it makes me happy that I'm tanned as I'm so pale! I usually use Coco Brown if I am using a mousse xx

    1. I used Cocoa Brown when I first started out tanning - I had such a gorgeous brown colour but when I washed it off in the shower, loads of the colour had rinsed off :( So, I never went back since x

    1. When I see products that are called 'extra dark' or 'darker than dark', it freaks me out a bit. Cos I'm so pale, what if I wake up the next morning and I'm TOO DARK? Still love St Moriz though!x

  6. Looks really good! I'm just not really a self-tan kind of girl, mostly because i'm just too lazy, but also because whenever i have tried to use it, i end up looking patchy and orange. Maybe this is one for me to try out soon! x

    1. Honestly, this would be great for beginners!! It's hard to mess this one up. I have no idea what's in the formula of this but it's amazing and so so easy to blend. Worth every penny but just wish it was a little bit cheaper as I would've tried it out sooner than kept on holding back x

  7. Bondi sands is definitely a raved about brand for self-tanning. I'm not the self-tanning type as I'm both lazy, I've accepted my paleness and I actually tan easily during the summer. But this brands does sound lovely though.

    1. Aww I'm so glad you've accepted how pale you are! I have too but since I've tried fake tan, I just look so much better and healthier and just feel better about myself overall. I'm not a fake tan addict, I don't do it every week etc. But I do love it x

  8. I use this tan in Ultra dark and I find the tan to be really natural and not as fake tan looking as a lot of others! Such a lovey tan that I don't mind spending extra money on it!

    1. Yes, it's so natural, that's why I love it! I have always wanted to try that 'Loving Tan' but it's hella expensive and I'd have to buy it online :( When I first bought Bondi Sands, I didn't know whether to go dark or ultra dark but I'm happy with dark at the moment haha! x
