I tried the viral £3.49 Lidl tan as a pale girlie – it doesn't smell, looks 10/10 & I was amazed by how long it lasted
Can't find the tan at your local Lidl? Scroll down to see three viral tans Fabulous' beauty buffs swear by YOU GLOW GIRL I tried the viral £3.49 Lidl tan as a pale girlie – it doesn't smell, looks 10/10 & I was amazed by how long it lasted Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT'S the tan that's taken the internet by storm - but is the viral Lidl tanning mousse really worth the hype? According to one beauty buff, the answer is yes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The blonde stunner sharer her rave review on the viral tan on TikTok Credit: TIKTOK/@kittsandpieces 2 The gorgeous glow the following morning - and according to the shopper, it lasted five days Credit: TIKTOK/@kittsandpieces The discount supermarket sent shoppers into a frenzy after launching their very own fake tan just in time for summer - and compared to cult favourites, Lidl's Marbella Glow is significantly cheaper. While other viral brands retail around the £10 mark, the German store's version costs just £4.49. Thrifty beauty buffs can choose the vegan-friendly tan in three shades - Medium, Extra Dark and Ultra Dark. Bargain-mad TikToker, only known as @kittsandpieces on the platform, went for the latter option, sharing her honest thoughts online. The PhD student, who dubbed herself a ''pale girlie'', started the process by showering and ensuring her skin was moisturised before applying the bronzing mousse. To ensure the tan doesn't stick to particularly dry areas, such as elbows and knees, the blonde stunner used Ultra-Repairing Soothing Balm by La Roche-Posay. The balm, which she claimed was ''a game-changer'', is currently on offer on Amazon for around £8, and for best results, the TikToker left it on for 20 to 30 minutes before applying the tan. After covering herself in the dark mousse, the Lidl shopper was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the tan dried. Raving about the wallet-friendly buy, she said in the video: ''No sticky feeling going to bed and no bad tan smell either.'' The following morning, the TikToker hopped into the shower, rinsed off the tan and was amazed by the results. Katie Price moans 'oh my god I'm so ugly' as she shows off BALD eyelids after removing fake lashes and make-up Sporting a gorgeous glow which made her look like as if she's just returned from a sunny holiday, the student said: ''10/10 for me.'' The best part? According to the shopper, the sun-kissed glow lasts almost a week too. ''I find I get a solid 4/5 days out of it with showers and all, it's even survived my swimming.''

" bBold Dream Mousse Tan in Dark - £9.50 - Buy Now Tester: Josie O'Brien, Senior Fabulous Digital Writer Review: "The first thing that hit me about this tan was the 'juicy watermelon' scent - it's delicious. I was left with a natural bronze hue rather than orange glow. My only qualm is that the tan seemed to stick to my dry patches and accentuated 'strawberry skin' on my legs.

Mixed reviews But while the money-smart shopper was raving about the bargain buy, not everyone had the best reviews. ''Yes it's good but be careful !! heard of horror stories from this tan especially firsthand ended up in a&e with a swollen face,'' wrote one of the 36k viewers. Another chimed in: ''it does smell, lovely red undertone, doesn't last long.'' Someone else said: ''I did it today and planing to wash it in the morning. ''I don't know looks weird on the face I hope I will not be all stained.''

But if you're a faux tan lover like we, the team at Fabulous, are, you'll know just how tricky it is to achieve a seamless finish on your back. Advertisement 2 Do you live solo? Then this hack is about to change the fake tan game Credit: TIKTOK/@gradygirlray 2 The genius hack it doesn't cost a penny if you love DIY projects Credit: TIKTOK/@gradygirlray However, savvy TikTokers have been sharing a hack to help you get streak-free coverage when living solo – and it doesn't cost a penny if you love DIY projects. Fake tan whizz @gradygirlray recently posted a video detailing the genius tip - and turns out, it's all thanks to using a paint roller. In the now-viral video, the fitness lover first applied some of the bronzing mousse onto the roller before using the DIY tool to go over her back several times. The extra inches meant she could easily reach parts of her body that would usually be quite challenging to fake tan - and it came out practically streak-free too.

''Is this perfect? NO! Did I have to wait for my husband to come home and help me? HELL NO!'' While the TikToker later noted that the brand is not important, it's essential to snap up the right roller for this hack. For best results, the tanning lover advised to get your hands on a six inch, 3/8 inch Nap made with a woven material.

But one woman was left horrified after realising she had suffered an epic beauty blunder - so can you spot it before her look of sheer panic? Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 One fashionista had to cancel her plans after she made an epic beauty mistake Credit: tiktok/@fitsandfreakouts 3 The style lover decided to do a fit check before leaving her house in the gorgeous blue midi dress Credit: @fitsandfreakouts 3 The moment Leah realised that something wasn't quite right Credit: @fitsandfreakouts Stylish fashionista Leah Fuld took to TikTok where she left social media users in stitches with the hilarious fail - and it's safe to say, most of us have been there at least once. With somewhere to go, Leah - who posts under the username @fitsandfreakouts - decided to put on one of her best frocks and a pair of strappy heels. Once the hair had been styled and the make-up was on, Leah topped it all off with a shiny lip gloss, before doing a fit check online. All chuffed with the final ensemble, Leah slowly stepped away from the camera, as she was proudly modelling the gorgeous blue midi dress. However, as the fashionista was showing off the chic outfit, she quickly spotted that something was off - and it finally kicked in. While in the video Leah never revealed where she was meant to go, the fashionista called it a day and stayed home - as she realised she had only fake tanned one of her legs. Although at first, Leah later revealed in the comments, she thought ''it was the lighting'' that wasn't the case - and she was left with one bronzed leg that looked extra tanned next to the ''ghostly'' leg. ''It's me thinking I ate. Then realising I didn't,'' she chuckled. ''Literally roll the credits. I'm staying home,'' she wrote under the now-viral video which has been viewed an astronomical 2.9mllion times in just five days. Since being posted online, it's also racked up a whopping 154k likes, 442 comments, as well as 1,668 shares. This Morning pro reveals the best fake tans for a streak-free glow & all the mistakes to avoid 'This would have sent me over the edge' As hundreds flooded to comments to share their thoughts, a fellow beauty buff wrote: ''This would have sent me over the edge.''
