L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Elixir (2 week tan)

My review on L'Oreal's Sublime Bronze Elixir (2 week tan)

I am probably the fairest skinned person I know, so finding a tan for my face and body that doesn't make me look like an umpa lumpa is pretty difficult. Also the skin on my face is VERY sensitive, and I would usually be very slow to apply a fake tan onto my face incase it reacted badly. I am seriously fussy when it comes to tans weather it be mooses, sprays or creams. I have tried quite alot of tans but I had yet to come across a tan that ticked most of my boxes...until I picked up this baby. :)

5 things I look for in a fake tan 

1. Nice/No smell. (Nothing worse than a strong smell of your skin next morning.)
2. Drys in fast. (Ain't nobody got time to be standing around in the nude waiting for it to dry in!)
3. Non patchy on both face and body
4. A bronze/sun kissed NOT orange/tangerine colour
5. Wears off evenly

The L'Oreal Elixir is a liquid/serum that drys in extremely fast, which was fantastic, however it means you have to act fast, rub in well and evenly. There was no sticky or uncomfortable feeling after either which was great, it meant I could get into my fresh PJ's (no better feeling!).
Prior to putting on the tan I had been exfoliating and moisturising to create a smooth base for tan to sit and develop on. This is very important when avoiding a patchy application. However this needs to be done a week in advance, nothing on the day of the actual application.

After applying it last night this morning I woke up to a gorgeous shimmering light-medium glow, baring in mind I only applied 1 layer to face and body. I was very pleased with how even it was (but this does depend on how well you apply it, fast and spreaded evenly!) Slightly strong smelling was probably the only thing I was dissapointed with. Over the next 3 days I will be applying a layer each night to slowly build up the colour, this however is optional.

Overall I love the colour and quality of this product, will it last for 2 weeks is the question?!
I haven't gotten around to seeing if it lives up to that yet, but will keep you all updated!
However I do think it is worth a purchase if you are willing to splurge a bit. Perhaps not for people who like their tan extremely dark, but for fair skinned people (like most of us Irish) I do think it is worth trying out and having some fun with.
After all as the saying goes 'your worth it'

Can be purchased in Boots and most pharmacies that stock L'Oreal.
