Abigailj Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 Clarins have either the tanning milk which is the one I have used, it also has a spf of 6 it will give you a very natural tan in about 2 hrs, or they have a tanning mouse which sounds as if it will give you a bit more of a tan, you can always pop into the Clarins counter and they will give you a couple of trial samples for nowt and you can see for yourself, ment to say the milk is 15.50 and the mouse is 19.50, whilst your at the Clarins counter try and get as many freebies as you can, they really go a long way, I got a tiny trial size of their new cream that will cost 62 quid when it comes out, I'm on my third night of using it .............and while your at it why not try some of the other counters too, I had my lips done for nowt at the Bobbi Brown counter ( another one that dosen't test on animals) I've struggled for years never knowing which lippy to use but they sorted it out in a jiff, Clinique and MAC are two others that don't test on animals and will have swanky counters you can get loads of testers from, if you can go in on a week day when it's not so busy and you'll have more chance of getting them to try out make up on you. I've just realised what a long post I've done on make up...............and I hardly ever use the stuff Celeste, Do you have any more info about Clarins and Bobbi Brown, with regards to animal testing please? If their products don't incorporate any form of animal testing then I might consider using them. Trouble is, the info on the Clarins website isn't very clear. It says In 1987, Clarins was the first French company to cease product testing on animals. That tells me that they don't test their products on animals, but it doesn't say anything about the ingredients that they use within their products. Many cosmetics companies use ingredients that have already been animal tested, and some pay testing companies to test ingredients on their behalf. I can't find Clarins or BB on the list HERE and I don't think they are in my cruelty free shopper book either. If you have any other info I'd be grateful.

Wendbert Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I found the website for the salon that Sarah_H recommended to me as its not far, and according to their website, I could just get my face and upper bits down: Sunless Spray Tanning A natural looking flawless tan in a single application. This revolutionary tanning system with natural sunscreen actually helps protect and rejuvenate the skin, enabling a longer-lasting, slow, even-fading spray tan with minimal rub-off. It typically lasts 5 to 10 days and often more, depending on the skin type and your daily skin care routines. Full Body and Face Tan 15 mins £21 Face and Upper Body or Leg Tan 10 mins £12 I *might* be brave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMC Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I found the stuff I used last year it's Boots Holiday Glow stuff. I wonder if it's safe to use this year? I am using last years avon one. Day 3 and colour build up looking good just a few patchy bits around the knees and heels. It does stink though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
