I am super excited to share with you about this amazing product from Golden Star Beauty!
Let me start off by saying that the only self-tanner I’ve ever used was back in high school and it was some kind of drugstore bronzer. It always made me feel sticky, it was stinky, and I very quickly stopped using it. You guys… this product is NOTHING like that one!!!
Complete honesty first… I was super hesitant to use this product. I literally got nervous every time I passed it on my bathroom counter. I kept procrastinating and procrastinating because there was this fear that I was going to end up looking like an orange Oompa Loompa! π±π€£
But then I remembered that we’re quarantined so even if I am bright orange, it’s not like I’m going OUT anywhere anytime soon! So I realized that this was actually the PERFECT time to try a product like this!!
The Experience:
β First, when I squirted it onto the application glove, it was white! Wait, what?!? I thought it would be orange! Or brown! Nope. It was white and creamy and it smelt like coconuts or something tropical. The glove made for easy application!
β I applied it before bed as the instructions recommended, and it rubbed in just like lotion. Literally. It was that easy.
β It said that it can take anywhere from 1-3 applications for the desired color. I chose to do 2 applications before taking my after pictures. (*keep reading to see before and after pictures!)
β The products came with easy to read step-by-step instructions and tips which made me feel very confident when applying the product.
And if you’re not sold yet, read these key points:
β Products are made in the USA!
β Products are made with certified organic oils and extracts which also help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles!
β Products are free of harsh chemicals, dyes, cosmetic colors, gluten & parabens!
β Products are vegan and cruelty-free!
Before and After Pictures:
The after pictures were taken after completing only TWO applications! I wore the same shorts to hopefully give the most realistic and accurate comparison I could.
Yes, yes, ABSOLUTELY YES – I would highly recommend this product!!! I love my natural-looking, streak-free tan!
This is such a SAFE alternative to being in the sun in order to get a tan. These products were easy and effective!
