A week ago, I woke up stupidly early on a Saturday and noticed some Twitter movement on the Big Blogger Conference, organised by the lovely ladies from LDN MeetUp.

On investigation, I decided I wanted to go. Someone had a ticket to sell and I rushed to get ready. I had to leave the house in an hour and a quarter from making my decision. London was uncharacteristically hot and skirt was the only option.

But me legs were so horribly white that I couldn’t bring myself to bare them. Until I remembered I had just received the HeShi 1 Hour Rapid Tanning Liquid. Was it going to save me?

Well, it did. This special pack comes with a tanning mitt, so no fretting looking for one. After my shower I just applied all over and hoped for the best.

This self tan acts quite, but gradually. In one hour, you develop a golden finish, in two hours, a dark colour and in 3-4 hours, an ultra dark colour.

By the time I left the house, an hour after application, I had that golden glow, enough for people not be blinded by the reflection of my white pins.

By lunchtime, I had he most gorgeous tan. I was worried about transfer, as it was a hot day and there was some tube sweating happening. But luckily, it wasn’t the case.

I washed it in the afternoon, and the remaining tan is glorious: a dark gold shade, even and super natural. It is a good thing this tan doesn’t smell, even when developing (AMAZING!), so it was fine to keep it on.

Thank you HeShi for saving my day!

The fabulous HeShi Rapid 1 Hour Liquid Tan can be purchased on the HeShi website. As I mentioned, at the moment they have this lovely limited edition pack that comes with a mitt, for £21 (saving of £7.50).

HeShi is a fantastic self tanning brand. Check out my review on their gold foaming mousse, express liquid tan and the dark mousse.
