Amazon cuts 60% off 'fool proof' self-tan mousse that 'always looks natural'
This beloved self-tanner is a go-to for that 'just been on holiday' glow without stepping off a plane.
Finding the best fake tan can often be a bit of a challenge. Not only does it need to provide a natural looking glow, but it can't look streaky or orangey.
With so many to choose from, it can be difficult to know which one to go for. Fortunately, Amazon shoppers have been praising one particular brand as "flawless" - and it's on offer for 60 percent less.
Beauty fans looking to get that 'just been on holiday ' look can bag the iconic St. Tropez Self Tan Classic Bronzing Mousse Foam (240ml) for just £12.34 after the online delivery giant slashed it from its usual £30.50.
Hailed as one of the self-tan brand's bestseller, this tanning mousse uses a "lightweight" and "quick drying" formula that has been designed to provide a streak-free and natural looking glow that lasts up to 10 days.
It's also a fast-acting formula, as it is said to develop into a "healthy glow" within as little as four to eight hours, which also means there is less opportunity for it to transfer and stain your clothes or bedsheets.

Product Description
The formula has been infused with skincare actives such as nourishing jojoba oil to leave the skin "soft" and "smooth", all while the brand's signature mood-boosting fragrance banishes that dreaded 'biscuit smell'.
When it comes to self-tanners, a mousse formula tends to be the go-to for an easy application, with another popular option being the Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Foam (200ml) that is available to buy from Boots for £19.50, down from £26.
Anyone looking to check out another brand, then Bondi Sands is another go-to for many beauty fans, with the firm's Liquid Gold Self Tanning Foam (200ml) costing £17.49 on Lookfantastic.
However, those who have ever bought the St. Tropez Bronzing Mousse will not be surprised to hear it has earned a 4.5 rating on Amazon based on over 19,000 reviews, with praise calling it a "must have" and "excellent" for getting that natural, golden glow.

One five-star review read: "A fool proof self-tanner! The St. Tropez Classic Mousse gives a natural, streak-free tan that develops over 4–8 hours. It's easy to apply, fades evenly, and leaves a beautiful bronzed glow—never orange. A must-have for a flawless, sun-kissed look!"
A second devoted fan wrote: "An excellent fake tan mousse, always looks natural and no streaks. Not a bad biscuit smell either! Would recommend, it's not a classic for no reason..."
Someone else agreed: "I've had multiple people tell me how great my skin looks and ask if I just got back from a vacation. The tan looks natural, even, and gives my skin such a healthy glow."
Beauty deal of the week
Perfume fans will be keen to hear about a deal we have just spotted at Boots.
Those looking for something "timeless" and "distinctive" might already have Givenchy's Amarige Eau de Toilette on their radar. A favourite since the early 90s, it's got a bit of a cult reputation.
Even better, Boots has just dropped the cost of a large 100ml from £109 to just £54.50, allowing shoppers to save an impressive 50 percent off a beloved perfume.
Its scent makes up a "beautiful bouquet of white flowers", with top notes of tangerine, violet and rosewood being mixed with heart notes of gardenia, mimosa, red fruits and ylang-ylang.
The scent then finishes on "vibrant yet muted" base notes of ambergris, precious woods, musks and vanilla. The bottle, which was designed by perfume legend Pierre Dinand, takes inspiration from the ruffles sleeves of a Bettina Blouse designed by Givenchy.
One shopper who is a devoted fan wrote: "One five-star review read: "I bought this on offer at Boots, it was around £30 cheaper than anywhere else! It has an amazing timeless distinctive scent must be tried!"
A second loyal fan said: "The best perfume of all times! So classy! I'm glad it is back for it has been my signature perfume for more than a decade. Intense. Long lasting. Amazing. Complements galore!"

It's worth noting that not everyone found the formula to be streak-free, as one three-star review read: "This is a good colour, but I did notice some streaks after applied. Lasted well though but just be careful and apply as evenly as possible."
However, another fan of the mousse said in return: "Easy to put on. Very quick to apply. Doesn't streak. Turns you fairly brown immediately but tan develops even more after a few hours.
"I am very pale skinned naturally so have given up lying in the sun. Everyone wants to know where I've been sunning myself. A couple of friends have asked me to share the name of the product with them as they were so impressed."
