One Hour Tan – Black Magic Tan Vibe Mousse Review

One Hour Tan – Black Magic Tanning Mousse Review 
Anyone else get completely baffled when they enter the fake tanning isle of a beauty store? I’ve tried and tested my fair share so I can’t imagine what it’s like for fake tan virgins.
Don’t get me wrong I’m no ‘tanning queen’ and you won’t find me with muddy paws. I prefer using fake tans that are natural and give you that sun-kissed 10 days in the sun look.

When it comes to buying fake tans I typically stick to the budget brands, especially if I’m using them on a casual basis however if I have a special event or a night out planned I prefer to use a luxury tanner that will give me a rich more bronzed look.
Black Magic Tan is Australia’s leading tanning brand and its now available in the UK and Ireland. It’s used by many professionals and celebrities so me being me, i wanted to know what all the fuss was about…

Market
I’d say this tan is for those who want an instant deep bronzed look without the waiting around as it driest quickly and can develop in under an hour. It’s perfect for a ‘party tan’ or special occasions with its bronze liquid goddess in a bottle.
Development Time
Unlike some tanners that require to be left on for around 6 hours this can develop in under 1 hour and dries quite quickly on skin so there’s no waiting around.
Colour
Black Magic Tan is a green based tanner that leaves a perfect deep chocolate brown shade with no orange in site.
Scent
The product is odourless so it doesn’t really have much of a scent at all (it is also alcohol free).
Application
I used the Black Magic Tan tanning mitt which has a velvet like feel however its soft touch meant that I couldn’t buff the product into the skin and it only aided in spreading the tan around before it rapidly dried. So I swapped it for my regular tanning mitt which has a rough sponge like top, the product was easier to buff in however you do need to be quick as it doesn’t mess around with drying! But all in all the product eventually buffed in perfectly without any scent, tackiness or patches and after 1 hour I was left with a deep, natural bronzed glow.
Wear
For me the tan lasted around 6 days before it became ‘scaly’ and I needed to exfoliate.

Score
I’d give the tan a strong 7.5/10
