Help, I've Been Tango-Ed!!

After watching Dragons Den recently and seeing new fake tan called "Skinny Tan" on the programme which is taking this country by storm after it's success in Australia I thought I would try it. All the "dragons" wanted to invest in it so that was convincing proof in it that is surely was good. I'm not a fan of fake tan due to the mess it makes and the absolutely dreadful smell. This advertises that it smells tropical like coconuts ........and can reduce cellulite (I doubted that fact!)

Well it arrived yesterday so I tried it this morning, a complete body cover - it is coloured dark brown as a guide so you can see where you are covering. It promises no streaks at all ......... imagine my horror after I had applied it, it looked so dark I looked as if I had been abroad for several years - really silly as I am so fair with blonde hair. It was streaky too - it said it would not streak at all! The smell is much the same as I expected, that horrible pongy fake tan smell. You are advised to keep the cream on for at least 5 hours, 24 hours if possible and then shower it off to leave a lovely tanned colour underneath.

I had to pop to M&S this afternoon to take something back as I am off on holiday on Saturday. I kept my head down as I looked so awful, the smell seemed to radiate from me too. Talk about embarrassed! I nipped into the store loos which are brand new with gleaming white seats. When I stood up to flush the loo, the seat was brown (no nasty thoughts please!) Gosh, it had come off the tops of my legs all over the seat, although it did wipe off!

I am now off to have a shower, praying that the zebra lines down my legs will disappear and I won't be wrapped up in a beach towel for the whole week on the beach, cringing with embarrassment!

Watch this space .............
