I have had the a bottle of Ready to Glo Dark Tanning liquid from Irish brand Wow Brown in my "to try drawer" for some time now but with one thing and another I didn't get time to check it out but I finally did it and Boy have I been missing out!!!!
This is the newest addition to Wow Brown's ever growing D.I.Y tanning range.
It really is a special little bottle of tan. Instead of making a sticky cream type consistency the lovely girls Fran and Don of Wow Brown decided to concentrate on giving us a product that contains really high level of direct DHA (what makes us darker quicker!!). The result is a liquid tan that resembles spray tan in a bottle.
On first use I fell in love with this tan. It is very easy to apply. All you do is spray it directly onto a tanning mitt and rub in circular motions from feet all the way to your face(yep it's safe to use on your face too!). Simple. It goes on effortlessly and isn't sticky at all. It really does remind me of a salon spray tan in a self tan version! And best of all it dries instantly which is my favourite thing in a tan because I hate to wait around for ages while it dries in.
Alot of tans claim not to have that dreaded fake tan smell but this one actually doesn't have a strong smell at all (slight fake tan smell towards end of development time but far less than other tans I have tried). Everything this tan claims to do it does well!!
This tanning range was created by Fran and Don who are salon owners after they couldn't find a tanning product that ticked all their boxes as professionals and so they decided to create their own and you can really tell by this tan that they have dedicated alot of time and effort into it as there is very little negative things to say about the formulation of this tan!!
I love the bottle it comes in too. It looks tiny but infact it has 100ml's inside which means you can bring it in your hand luggage for a weekend away. You will get 7 to 10 full body applications from the 100ml bottle. The spray nozel that dispenses the product sprays just the right amount onto the mitt to ensure you don't overload the skin with too much liquid.
This tan can be washed off after 5 hours or left on for a deeper tan. I HATE leaving tan on for too long and especially overnight so I put this on in the morning and rinsed it after 5 hours. Before I rinsed it I looked extremely dark but once I rinsed off the colour guide I was very happy with the colour it gave me. Not overly dark but a really gorgeous golden, natural looking tan. I do think if I was going out on a night I would either apply a second layer after rinsing the first or leave it on longer because the colour I got after 5 hours wouldn't be enough for me for a night out! The reason I hate to leave tan on over night is because it gets so sticky and smelly during the night but this tan wouldn't do that as you don't even feel it on your skin and it has a minimal scent, Wow Brown refers to this as the "boyfriend friendly scent" which is very cute!!
Ready to Glo Dark Tanning Liquid can be purchased directly from Wow Brown's website or from any stockists nationwide. It costs €21.99 for 100ml bottle.
I have read other reviews on this product and some people really didn't like it but I am just being honest when I say I had no problems at all with this. I always make sure I exfoliate thoroughly before application and also moisturise my dry areas.
I hope you found this review helpful and please feel free to comment below telling me your experience of this fantastic tan!!!
Have a great day
