Rimmel Sun Shimmer Instant Tan and Remover Review

Hi again!

I have always been a big fan of Rimmel make up and had heard good reviews for thier instant tan, so I decided to buy the 'matte' version in dark but thier was a good choice of either fair, light, medium or dark. I went for dark as I like a deep looking tan. At the same time I bought the Rimmel Sunshimmer instant tan remover so that I could get the tan off quickly if it went wrong!!

What the instant tan dark says:

Instant wash off tan for body and face
Up to 24hr wear
Transfer Resistant

What the instant remover says:

Easily Removes Tan Make-up
For body, face and hands




Rimmel Sunshimmer Remover/Rimmel Instant Tan (Dark)

The Rimmel Tan has a floral scent and looks really dark when it is first applied and I did panic a little when rubbing in as it was still really dark!!(See below)


Blending in the Rimmel Instant Tan

1. 

However just as I was about to take it off I did blend in some more and it turned out a lovely brown but not too dark (See below)


Just about blended Rimmel Tan

 In the end it was a lovely brown and it does not transfer onto clothes easy which is good. However I would recommend using gloves or a mitt as it does stain your palms if not!!

Instant Tan Remover:

The Instant Tan Remover claims it removes tan make-up but when I rubbed it in I found it did not get the tan off totally but just made the tan lighter.

The cream smells like a mosituriser which was nice and with a couple of times using the cream on the same spot it did eventually begin to fade off...maybe because I had the 'Dark' tan it made it more difficult to get off so easily. Still a nice buy if you have streaks or to use on elbows, hands and knees where the colour tends to be darker.

The Rimmel Instant Tan costs £6.99 form Boots and the Rimmel Instant Tan Remover costs £6.00.
