It's Sun Believable (no really, it is)

Well, they've done it. Nope, not made control knickers that don't flip down half way through the evening, suddenly allowing your unfettered spare tyre to boing uncontrollably like a crazed bungee jumper made of cottage cheese, and no, a dark eyeshadow that doesn't create raccoon circles round your upper eye lid.  They have made a self tan that does not smell.  Of anything.  Not biscuits, not roast chicken, not cat wee (really - that was not one of my best test weeks ever, I have to say...);  absolutely zilch.  It also has the most sensibly designed application glove thing ever (I refuse to use the word 'mitt') that does not gradually absorb the stuff.

It is called Sun-Believable.  It is a mousse that you apply on to said glovey thing and then on to your limbs.  The only, and this is such a mild 'only' you can see why it is such a good product, startling element is that the stuff looks green when it comes out.  It actually looks like slurry.  Rest assured it doesn't stay green - mine took three hours to develop into a pleasing slight tan and after a night's sleep I look positively South of France.  I ignored, as I always do, all the guff about applying endless moisturisers and exfoliators etc because practically, people NEVER do that.  Their thought processes are 'a) ooh! Sun's out.  I can wear my strappy....ohhh, hang on.  b) Let's inspect arms.  Jesus!  c) OK I have to either go to Tobago in the next twenty minutes or have to apply fake tan now.  I've already had a shower so I can't be bothered to have another one, and if I put it on now it might be done by this evening so I can wear my strappy thing and not look like Emily Bronte expiring on a sofa.'  Anyway, it worked marvellously.  And, being a massive gambler, I even wore white trousers ten minutes after application and they were absolutely fine.   So white trousers-proof and you don't smell like Nando's.  What more could you want?
