Nip + Fab 365 Body Glow Fix - Clear Tanning Gel - Review

This month's Cosmopolitan magazine offered a choice of Nip + Fab samples as a free gift. My boyfriend brought me home a copy and he very cleverly chose the tanning gel. I love tanning but rarely buy anything other than Lauren's Way because I feel like I can't afford to experiment. Needless to say I was looking forward to trying this free sample.

Firstly, the smell. This doesn't have the tan smell at all, in fact it smells delicious. It's very sweet and reminds me of tuti-fruiti or bubblegum but not in a sickly way! The tan is a clear gel and usually I prefer a tint so I can say where iv put it. That being said I did manage even application as I was very careful and could see a shine on my skin where the product was. This goes on a dream.

The packaging claims this to be fast-drying, streak-free and hydrating. I didn't find it particularly fast drying and could feel it on my skin for several hours however it was really hydrating and felt like a really good moisturiser on application.

After:

I will admit that I normally go for a very 'fake tan' colour and this doesn't provide that. What it does provide however is a lovely natural looking glow that is very forgiving if your application skills are not up to scratch! 

If you are looking for a natural look, more of a glow than a tan or just something to take the edge off your whiteness then this is for you. It so easy to apply, I didn't even use gloves - just washed my palms after application. It smells lovely and it's leaves your skin super soft. I think I'll be buying this in the future for a work-friendly tan!

Have you tried this? Let me know what you think!
