Review: Garnier Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer Wash Off Gel

As soon as the sun comes out and the temperature rises, one thing comes back as surely as tax period: my quest for the perfect fake tan.


I have found a very interesting product recently, but you'll have to stay tuned because it's not the one I'm going to talk about now. Keep on reading, though, I might save you some money.


What this is:
A tinted gel that contains no self-tanner, that you can apply to your body and your face to get a tan within a couple of minutes. This is transfer proof and washes off with soap and water.
It contains apricot oil to keep the skin soft and moisturized.


PROS:
- it smells good (unlike fake tanners)
- it's quick and easy to apply and it dries in a couple of minutes
- it does moisturize the skin well
- it's easy to remove with soap and I haven't noticed any transfer
- the pump is very practical
- the price is reasonable (around 11€ - 150 ml) and the product is easy to find in drugstores


CON:
The color you get is awful.


Honestly, I don't know what a good comparison would be but putting this on my legs made them look like a a ripened peach color, kind of "I took a hot bath this morning and burnt my legs" but not exactly. Some kind of orange peachy sunburnt is what comes to my mind.


Would I recommend?


I love the idea of an easy to apply product that you can quickly put on before going out, but frankly, with such an unnatural color result, I don't think I'll keep on using this and it's a loss of money. I'd say skip it.
