I've so fussy with fake tanners, as most of them smell awful and leave you super orange or patchy.

I've only used Fake Bake tanners for the last 2 years, as their colour is much more natural, never streaks or goes patchy, and smells pretty nice for a fake tanner too. They're so ridiculously easy to use as well, they're just very pricey.

I've never had a problem with spending money on a fake tanner, as if I'm going to use one, I want it to look as natural as possible, or it's a complete waste of money. The bottle of Fake Bake spritz also lasts for ages.

I'd tried out the Caribbean Tan gradual tanning spray a while back and been completely underwhelmed by it. I ended up chucking out the can halfway through, as it just didn't work for me, and I didn't want to pass it on to anyone else.

When I had a browse through the Caribbean Tan products one day at Dischem, I thought maybe I should give them a second chance, as they're a quarter of the price of my Fake Bake tanner. I figured that I'd try out the spritzer version this time, as I'd been so happy with the Fake Bake version.

The tanner comes with a mitt so you can smooth out any areas. It has instant colour to it, so you can see where you've applied it, and it smells fairly decent for a tanner. Once you've applied it, it'll develop for the next 8 hours, so you can't shower for 8 hours at least.

I chose the B (white/beige) and it was a perfect transition colour from winter to summer - not as deep as the Fake Bake tanner I've been using, but still really natural and not orange at all. I think I'll buy the darker one soon, so that I can go a bit deeper next time.

It also lasts on the skin really well, and just fades naturally, like a real tan would.

A fantastic budget buy!
