Review: Tarte Braziliance Maracuja Self Tanner.

Tarte Brazilliance™ skin rejuvenating maracuja face and body self tanner Review

Tarte is an Eco friendly, cruelty free brand. I was eyeing up this self tanner for awhile, especially after seeing a demo on QVC. Once Sephora.com started carrying a mini trial tube (along with a mini bronzer) I was all over it because let's face it anything mini is too cute to pass up!

The Tarte website explains the self tanner as follows: 

"A revolutionary maracuja-infused face and body self tanner. Achieve a healthy faux-glow while drenching your skin in moisture. This revolutionary hybrid gel formula, infused with pure maracuja oil, delivers replenishing essential fatty acids along with skin-brightening and youth-preserving vitamin C. tarte’s proprietary PUREshield™ scent-control technology allows for a pleasant, spa-like application that smells unlike any self tanner you’ve tried before.  You'll be admiring your newly bronzed bod, your skin will feel and look firmer, brighter and smoother soaking in all of the benefits of maracuja oil. 

Product Performance: This perfectly-hued bronze gives skin a sunkissed warmth that never looks fake or orange and thanks to the included perfect application mitt you're guaranteed an easy, clean and streak-free, golden bronze tan every time! 

Replenish, rebuild and rejuvenate skin for a youthful and healthy appearance year-round. Unlike other tanners that leave an overpowering unpleasant scent afterwards, tarte’s signature PUREshield™ scent-control technology leaves skin feeling fresh and smelling amazing with a yummy, sweet passion fruit after scent.

Powered By: maracuja oil: rich in essential fatty acids (EFAs) known to replenish, rebuild, and enliven skin for a firmer, brighter, smoother appearance; high dose of pure Vitamin C gives the appearance of brighter skin; powerful anti-aging elixir promotes active skin recovery and rejuvenation; maximum hydration quenches dry skin." 

So now that you know a little more about the ingredients & company time for a little review! 

I've actually used this self tanner twice this week that's how much I'm liking it! The smell is probably the best part, like cinnamon buns (which makes me want to cheat my diet so bad!). The next best thing about this product (despite having used a face brush while cleansing my face) is it actually stayed put for a good 2 days which I haven't seen yet from a self tanner due to my facial cleansing habits."

 

The self tanner looks like this: 

Pretty dark looking but it doesn't show up this way. I woke up the first time after trying this with a natural, flawless facial tan! It has a sort of gel look but doesn't feel as messy. Also very quick drying!

Sounds to good to be true right? The only down side of this product I've encountered so far is the slight staining of my fingers (a mitt comes with the full size, just not the trial) which doesn't phase me much because the smell is so pleasant! 

(Fingers post wash)

All in all I would definitely recommend this product, my only suggestion is get the mitt! Lol

This can be purchased at Tarte.com & other retailers such as Sephora & QVC.
