beautyheaven says:

Combining everything Bondi Sands customers love about the self-tanning range, the new Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam - Ultra Dark is their darkest tan yet. It uses the same salon quality formula, signature Bondi Sands coconut scent, and award-winning foam formulation to deliver a rich, natural-looking tan. The formula also contains nourishing aloe vera and vitamin E to ensure skin feels soft and hydrated.

While most members were impressed that the tan lasted for around a week, most commented on the six-hour development time, and said they were surprised at how long it took to ‘dry down’ and develop.

The products for this Trial Team have been provided by Bondi Sands for the purpose of trial and review. All reviews submitted are the honest, authentic and genuine sentiments of the beautyheaven members participating in this trial.

“Let’s start by saying that I LOVE the dark foam from Bondi Sands – I'm a religious two coat applier, and I always end up with a lovely dark tan. When I found out that they had come out with an ultra dark version, I was so excited to try it out! Like with all Bondi tanning products, this tan had the signature coconut scent I adore, housed in a very practical black plastic bottle. I loved the fact that the packaging was only black and gold – it made it feel very 'luxe’. When I washed it off I felt like a bronzed goddess – my body was a rich, golden brown and I was basically glowing as I patted my body dry. The colour is about the same as two coats of dark Bondi, and it just looked so lovely and natural in natural light. I did apply the residual product on the mitt on my face and it didn't break out, so that's a winner!”

“The appearance of my tan after the shower was so flawless and natural, I never knew I could be so tan[ned] without looking orange! Overall, it did a great job on my pale skin. I absolutely love this product!”

“I was lucky enough to trial this and I am over the moon! It is an amazing product that is the perfect consistency for a tanning foam, is easy to spread on your body and leaves zero streaks. And it smells delicious too! I had given up on finding a good DIY tanning mousse or foam for use at home. It is by far the best I've tried and the one application gives you the most natural sun goddess tan around! Super impressed with the packaging as well – it’s easy to apply and looks great in my bathroom cabinet! The pump application is a great idea as I never waste any of the product. I’ll never use a different brand of DIY tan again – I love this product!”

“The colour is where this product really shines. It gives you the most natural, yet dark golden beautiful tan. I was impressed that the colour didn’t go orange on me as I have extremely pale skin naturally.”

“I was a little concerned that the Ultra Dark was going to be too dark, but it turned out fine on my pale skin. I was happy with the colour, it was not too orange-looking, but also not too green. It faded evenly and looked nice for the entire week. I was impressed with how natural-looking it turned out – the parts of my body that have never seen the sun were brought to the same colour as my fading natural tan, and erased my tan lines. I think I could use this product every few days in summer to eliminate those pesky tan lines that come from wearing different styles of tops when out in the sun.”

Bondi Sands is the one tanner i have not yet turned my back on, it's not too expensive, doesn't go orange and is non-streaky! I cant wait til they release an instant tan in their range

I've heard so many mixed comments about it! It retails more than the normal Dark foam which puts me off! Some comments are about how it is around 2 coats of the dark foam which I already do, so to an extent I don't know if this would change my life! Yet again some people say this is even better ? I just don't know! Aghhh

I don't fake tan. I have received just the mitt from the priceline goody bag which I have binned. I would try if the tanning lotion is also supplied, but I wasn't going to buy the banning lotion because I have a mitt.
