MODEL CO Self Tan Review

Ooopsss! Once again, I have failed on that time management thing and this post is up two day late... oh well you guys survived ;)
I recently went to NZ and before I left I had run out of my last self tanning mousse, Le Tan. So, to broaden my knowledge on all things tan I thought i'd better try a different brand in order to find my holy grail self tanner. I know there's a tonne of well known brands out there and so many that are already at the top of peoples lists but I thought for me to actually be a good blogger I better try some that may not be the underdogs and that's how I came about buying this little baby...

MODEL CO SELF TAN MOUSSE / DARK

 

 

Firstly, I need to comment on how cute the packaging is. I never used to be a fan of pink but when I was in Priceline looking for some new tan this beauty stuck out straight away! All the other brands seem to have more plain colours or packaging that just doesn't stand out as much as this does, so the colour is a huge plus and advantage to them when people are having a browse around. It was also only $16 dollars, but then I later found it on special at coles for $12 :( Don't you just hate that?

 

Model Co's tanning mousse is 100ml which is only a small 10ml difference when compared to the Le tan mousse I have been using, but the good thing about that is I only needed one application of Model Co's tan to get the tan I desired which is ridiculously amazing considering Le Tan's I needed 3 applications. With that little difference I can already tell this mousse is probably going to last me a much longer time.

 

The colour I grabbed is in 'Dark' and it had a beautiful colouring. No nasty orange tinge or anything! It says on the bottle that it 'tailors itself to your skin tone' which is exactly what it does. You know those fake tans that you see people with and you can tell straight away that the colour is just so obvious and it doesn't look natural at all, well you don't have to worry about that at all with Model Co's self tan. It literally looks like a natural tan that I would get with the sun except I don't have to lay out in the sun for hours exposing myself to harmful sun rays. All I have to do is apply the mousse and bam, natural looking sun kissed tan!

 

Don't even get me started on the smell, as soon as I had pumped out my first pump I was in love. I know I loved the smell of the Le Tan one too but there was something different with this one. Again, it was a caramel scent but it didn't smell like a fake,chemical made up one, instead this one kind of had a more natural smell? The brand doesn't say its natural at all but I definitely feel like this has less crap inside its formula. It does however say that it has an 'antioxidant rich formula containing Black Walnut and Goji Fruit extracts and that sounds pretty good to me.

 

Overall, I was extremely happy with this product! The main thing though is that with one application ONLY ONE!! I achieved an amazing tan and with the before and after photo's I have down below, they just don't do any justice at all. The end colouring after it's developed and I have had a shower is absolutely AMAZEBALLS! I will definitely be purchasing this tan again and again. However to be a good blogger I will eventually have to try some new brands but for now this gem is my fave and I recommend anyone on a budget needs to try this one out and see your own results as proof! You will not be disappointed.

Here are my terrible before and after pictures, I didn't quite nail these I know but the after picture is after my shower the next morning. This is just one application of the Modelco Tanning Mousse and how brilliant is the colour. The before shot is in a terrible lighting because it was night time and its the horrible bathroom heat light! but I was crazy white and being Maori from NZ I feel that being that white is an embarrassment hahahahaha!
