The Bondi Sands Liquid Gold Self Tanning Foam promises an 'Aussie tan in no time', developing in two to three hours and without needing to be rinsed off
Beauty lovers are dashing to snap up a fake tan that 'ticks every box', catering to all the fake bake desires of those craving a summer glow. Not only does it provide a streak-free, even tan, but it also boasts the advantage of being a no-rinse formula that doesn't leave marks on white bedsheets.
What's more, Bondi Sands' Liquid Gold Self Tanning Foam has undergone a fantastic price cut. Usually priced at £17.49 per bottle, Amazon has cut the cost by a whopping 44%, making it available for £9.74 for a limited period.
If you're comparing prices, this deal beats the discounted rates currently at Boots and Superdrug, plus it throws in the perk of free next day delivery for Prime members. Over at Boots, Bondi Sands' Liquid Gold is going for £11.66, and it's priced at £11.65 at Superdrug. Bondi Sands' Liquid Gold Self Tanning Foam boasts delivery of an 'Aussie tan in no time', taking shape within two to three hours without the fuss of rinsing. It sets quickly, leaving skin with a sun-kissed bronze sheen.
Its clear, non-transferable foam formulation enriched with argan oil makes skin feel luxuriously smooth, and it comes with a coconut fragrance that shoppers describe as 'not overpowering', reports the Manchester Evening News.
Earning an impressive overall star-rating of 4.7 out of five from over 200 reviews, customers are raving about it. One pleased buyer remarked: "I've been using this for ages now. Lovely colour, doesn't go streaky or patchy. Fades nicely. No overpowering smell and because it's clear, my bedsheets are still white."
Another reviewer expressed their admiration, saying: "I love this tan. I've tried nearly every tan out there and this is one of my favourites, it never goes patchy or streaky. It always looks natural and lasts longer than most tans I've used."
A different customer shared their positive experience, stating: "Really good quality! Lasted me about a week without going patchy after showering several times too! You do have to re-apply it every week! But a lot better than some of the tans I've used!".
One enthusiastic user raved: "This product shocked me as the guide colour was very pale. Was worried it wouldn't show up. After about 4 or 5 hours the colour got nice and dark. Pleasantly surprised it didn't stain white sheets."
However, not everyone was completely won over, with one person commenting: "So, first thing to address it the scent when you put it on, is pleasant. It is very light in colour and really spreadable, which is good. The colour starts to develop quickly but I barely noticed due to the lack of orange pigment, great. Could be darker, but seems buildable. Following on from developed colour (pre washing) I smell like biscuits, *but* fresh ones, not bad in my opinion. Only complaint is my hands smell like damp wicker, or pencils, if you know, you know."
So, if you're looking for a way to boost your tan this heatwave, the Bondi Sands mousse could just be for you! However, if you want an even darker tan, we also love Loving Tan's Deluxe Bronzing Mousse, now £22.37.
