I was recently offered the chance to try a couple of the new tanning products from Tanatomicals. With fake tan being my must have- of course I said yes.
When I first opened this product I did chuckle a little, but in all honestly wondered if it was all a little bit of a joke? But then it clicked, slowly that Tanatomicals is apart of the Anatomicals range- a slow moment on my part! If you're aware of this brand then you'll know that they do like a cheeky or funny little name on there products and I don't think theres nothing wrong with that. It's a fun approach and it's definitely something makes you remember them.
'Get a tan without looking like your gran' Body and Face Instant Tan 125ml
This is the tan dedicated to "creating a flawless and instant matte tan that easily washes off"
I was a little apprehensive when it came to trying this and rather than wearing it for the first time on a night out, I decided to apply it just for around the house- what a waste because this tan is delightful and definitely deserves to be shown off more than just in my house.
"because to us, white ain't right"
The lotion comes in a 125ml tube which is a handy little size, especially with being an instant tan- lovely size for popping in your bag to go and get ready with the girls?
It's a Dark Brown lotion- with almost Red tones running through it but on application its very much a golden tan colour. Both the consistency and colour remind me very much of Fake Bakes Matte Instant tan which is my favourite of the instant variety.
On the box it says that its lightly fragranced, but I wouldn't necessarily call it light however I wouldn't describe it as strong neither, its actually quite nice. It smells sweet but isn't at all overwhelming. They are infused with fresh tropical Pina Colada- Coconut and Pineapple and infact smells very similar to my Australian Gold products that I have been raving about.
I applied it with a mitt and it's really easy to blend in, a little goes a long way which is always good.
It isn't the quickest drying instant tan, which can be a little bit of a bother because if you're like me- when I apply instant its because I'm in a rush to get tanned. It remained a little sticky on my skin for about 2 minutes but by then it had completely dried and was okay for me to get dressed.
In the directions, it mentions that it easily washes off. This is does, theres no scrubbing needed. It literally will run off in the shower- which if you're after an instant tan is just what you want.
One thing you're risking with an instant tan that washes off easily is that if you do get caught in the rain- this will run and streak.
Fortunately when I have worn this, I have been indoors or just haven't been caught in the rain but I have been in the past with a certain Fake Bake at the World Cup Party incident- disaster.
Bare this in mind when deciding to wear your instant tan.

The lighting here makes my legs look slightly Orange, but I promise that in real life this tan looks a lot more of a natural brown. I love that the tan is matte, as I've said so many times I really don't do glitter ball tans.
I haven't yet used this product on my face, I'm actually really pleased with the colour on my face for once and I don't want to start messing with it, until after my holiday at least. I will however keep you updated on that.
Get a tan without looking like your gran costs just £6.99 and is available from Superdrug now.
Have you tried any of the Tanatomical range?
