    Is this the secret to tanning like a pro at home?

    Don't be caught paying top dollar in the salon any longer…

    Did you know that I have two sisters? This may not seem all that important, but in a gig where I get to try all sorts of brand spanking new beauty buys day in day out, the fact that I have two sisters matters.

    Why? Well the pair of them happen to be beauty obsessed, which proves to be quite a pain – because I don’t have a lock on my door, and they seem to have very, very sticky fingers. Fake tan is a big hit in our house, with all three of us in love with the stuff. So, needless to say, any new bottles of this liquid gold don’t last very long at home – and as it’s my job to try these products, it’s proving a bit of a problem.

    Then – as if by magic, I heard about Home Spray Tan, the brand that offers everything you need to spray tan like the professionals at home. This was the answer to my faux glow woes. I immediately suggested we all throw in some money and buy a kit to share so that the girls could sport a sunkissed glow whenever they please, and my beloved products would remain where they should – away from sticky fingers.

    Better still, my friends that have been known to spend anywhere between $25 and $30 a week on a spray tan are jumping for joy. This kit comes with a 700w 2012 model spray-tanning machine, a high-quality spray gun, a deluxe-quality pop-up tent, throwaway sticky feet, caps, Ezy Breathe nasal filters, bras, panties and 125mL of the Australian-made, eco-certified organic 1-hour tanning solution. It’s now firmly on the wishlist for my sisters and I. It could be just the ticket to looking bronzed and beautiful all year round without having to head to a salon and pay the same amount time after time.

    A fake tan machine would be amazing! One of my girlfriends has it and she can't get enough of it

    This sounds like a great idea, especially if you have a few friends that you can buy it with.

    i only do my tan few times a year...

    diabla 25 Feb 2013 12:41 AM

    wow interesting, but expensive too.

    Spunkx 25 Feb 2013 12:05 AM

    it is so much easier when someone else spray tans me! i prefer mousses these days, its much easier and quicker plus the results are fantastic!

    Fake tanning is alright but nothing beats the all natural glow you get from the sun :)

    Marie_ 24 Feb 2013 11:35 AM

    I think I would still prefer to have a professional tan me! Id have so many spots on my back haha

    Would love to see a review on this!

    I'd love to get my hair professionally cut int the comfort of my own home. I'm unable to make appointments for many local hairdressers where I live so it's always a hassle to get there and wait for at least an hour or 1/5 hours to get my hair trimmed.

    Trish_D 24 Feb 2013 9:19 AM

    I'd like a live in hairdresser and a beautician so I could have a facial when I felt like it!!!!! AS IF!!!!!

    I love to fake tan, but it doesn't always look good..

    Chickybabe1 24 Feb 2013 9:06 AM

    Doing any kind of appointment from the comfort of your own home is always a bonus as it saves time and money.

    Dental appointments! That would be great not having to visit the dentist!

    bebeautiful34 24 Feb 2013 7:49 AM

    i would love to be able to wax my facial hair well, so that i don't have to go the salon all the time..

    The fake tan is not for me I'm afraid, I like to keep it real I'm afraid.

    Kassalee 24 Feb 2013 6:56 AM

    $399 is still on the pricey side for someone like me who only gets the occasional fake tan. On top of the equipment costs, you'd need to buy the actual tan solution. Love to have an outdoor deep spa in my backyard!

    CherryBlossom 24 Feb 2013 5:42 AM

    I don't need to tan because I've already got a tan and still manage to get burned and just blackened if I stay out in the sun too long. I wish I could get a professional chef to come and cook and a great cleaner to clean my home, does that count?

    aussie_cat87 24 Feb 2013 5:36 AM

    I don't fake tan for a few reasons (cost, ingredients in the fake tan and I kind of like my light neutral toned skin). However I know a lot of women who would like this. I have already sent the article to them :)

    I would love to be able to swim or play tennis from the comfort of my own home. Unfortunately I don't have a pool or tennis court so there goes that idea.

    MACjunkie 24 Feb 2013 4:21 AM

    I dont fake tan but those who do will probably love this! :)

    Rei_ 24 Feb 2013 2:54 AM

    Sounds nifty for those who tan!
