Xen Tan Absolute Luxe Review

buy from Feel Unique for £28.99

Hey guys, so another honest fake tan review! I have had this tan for quite a few months now and think it's time to give my honest opinion.

Lets start off with the positives. The packaging is something I really like about this tan. It's very travel friendly because it's a tube instead of a pump, this also means you will be able to get every last bit of product out. I feel the design of the packaging does make it look luxurious, I mean for the amount you pay for this tan you'd expect that! The smell of the tan is also something I really like. It's not your typical biscuit smell, it's more of a sweet vanilla ( maybe cherry bake-wells) this makes it bearable for you to sleep at night with it on.
Another thing I really love about this tan is the colour .After you have washed off the base shade, you're then left with a nice olive brown which makes it look really natural.

Now to get onto what I'm not so happy about with this tan. Firstly the application can be quite a messy and uncertain process. I have used many tans, but I find if you haven't prepared your skin the right way or don't have the right mit you're going to end up in a right patchy mess. This tan is not for a tanning newby. The lotion is very moisturizing, but I find it can get quite sticky easily when applying, this can lead to an uneven application. If you do manage to apply this tan ok, you are left with a gorgeous tan for about 2 or 3 days. After the first few days my skin starts to go patchy quickly. Currently I'm writing this review on day 5 and my skin is looking horrible. I was expecting this tan to be very long lasting, but it doesn't fade nicely at all. It might be because I'm naturally pale and so the tan is separating from my natural skin tone, but I don't expect this quite pricey tan to fade so badly.

I have read other reviews on the absolute luxe and lots of people seem to love it?! I do like it to tan for a night out to get a nice colour for a day or two. But if you wana use a tanner as part of your weekly tanning routine I wouldn't go for this one (especially if you're pale) I prefer St Moritz it's like a 1/5 of the price!!  Have you tried this brand?
