Hello Lovelies,
So the summer is here although you wouldn't know by our weather outside at all but nevertheless there is no need to be pale if you don't want to be. Recently I was sent a new tan from Sunkissed which is called their Once a Week self tan. While I have tried this tan, I must be honest and say I have only had opportunity to use it once as I have a wedding this weekend I am booked in for a spray tan and I had one more tan to trial prior to the wedding, it's not easy when you're so pale but you want to be sure you are giving your skin the best chance or reviewing a tan fairly by prepping your skin exactly as it should be, no dry bits, no left over tan residue and no messing our doubling up on products.
In saying all that I did have perfectly pale skin when I applied this mousse so I can give honest feedback about my experience and if when I want to use it again and need to change my opinion, I will edit the post and note the changes.
This is not the first tan I have reviewed from Sunkissed and you can read about it on www.masteringyourmakeup.blogspot.ie and search Sunkissed. Let's take a look at the press info for this new tan.

Well firstly I can 100% confirm a few of the claims of this tan, yes it smells lovely, absolutely the mitt helps apply the tan evenly and it allows you to see where you are putting it with a slight guide colour. I did feel the tan dried quickly enough, I was tanning my legs and wore shorts for a little while. I also liked how the tan didn't come off much while I was asleep, I have this awful (and yes it is awful) tendency to overheat when I sleep so I'm always worried about losing so much tan to the dreaded sheets.
I opted for the colour medium to try out and it was a little light. When I say light I tend to base my tan on the idea that I am heading out for the night and for me the one layer of the medium once a week tan would deffo need a second in order to get the colour I like. However, in saying that, most days I am not looking for a tan to be that dark which is why I chose the medium shade. I am so pale that sometimes I find it I put a tan on which is dark it can just look dirty on my skin, I can't carry off really dark colours as there is absolutely no colour in my own skin to enhance. I a 100% a pale lady so I like to chose colours that can build up instead of going straight in with something that might not suit me at all.
The shade medium was lovely on my skin. It wasn't streaky or patchy (that's where good prep work comes in you have to be ready to put in the work in order for tan to look flawless)
For me if you are pale like myself and you want a golden glow then the medium is a perfect shade for you.
My only downfall with this tan and it's why I stated at the top I've only had a chance to use it the once I didn't allow it to last the full 7 days in order to really test it. I needed to get the tan off but I will say that it took two hot baths and lots of scrubbing on day 5 to get the tan off so certainly up to day 5 I still have colour on and it wasn't giving me dry patches or that awful snakeskin.
All in all I am really happy with the shade and the tan itself, I will deffo give it another go as soon as I can and if you want to follow Sunkissed tan be sure to use the #BeTheTanExpert and follow them online @WeLoveSunkissed
