Forget the oompa-loompa look, the biscuity smell and streaks, this is a luxury summer-ready tan in a bottle.
The first thing you will notice when applying Bellamianta Self-tanning Tinted Lotion for Face & Body is the absence of the usual tell-tale fake tan smell.
This product was so easy to apply. I used the double-sided soft Bellamianta tanning mitt which made application really easy.
I applied two layers and left it on for two hours which gave a warm sun-kissed glow. Admittedly, I went easy on the lotion as a little goes a long way. But the initial, subtle colour was perfect for my skin tone.
You can dress and go with this self tan as it dries super fast without any stickiness or need to hang around. It also lasts up to seven days.
If you prefer a deeper tan, simply add more product and leave it on for four hours or overnight and shower the next morning.
This is one of the good things about the colour – you are in control. I really was impressed with colour, ease of application and the streak-free result. It’s my new go-to-self-tan.
The product claims were definitely standing up of this Irish brand which is also available as a spray tan in beauty salons across the country.

The lotion does contain some lovely moisturising ingredients – shea butter, aloe vera, mango and papaya, as well as detoxing goji berry.
The ultra-smart hydration system ensures that while the tan dries in in 60 seconds, the light formulas are still working to hydrate the skin ensuring that the tan wears of evenly.
