I am always, always down to try a new self tanning product because I am seriously addicted to being brown. So when I was getting my hurrs did at www.loxys.co.nz (you can read all about that here: http://www.makeupobsessives.com/3/post/2014/02/loxys-hair-boutique.html) I spied the Vita Liberata range they stock, and I knew I had to have it on my bod'. After having tried it, I can easily say this is my new favourite, and by far the one I've received the most compliments on. It's an incredible colour, and looks completely natural. LOVE!
Vita Liberata is an Irish brand and is know for their high performing, non toxic skincare and tanning products. They self tanners are 80% organic, with amazing ingredients like pomegranate, grape, ylang-ylang and seaweed. They're also completely free of parabens and alcohol. One of my very favourite things about this range is that is is totally odour free- amazing! An odour free self tanner is incredibly hard to find, so I'm really happy with this guy.
The other cool thing is that there are so many options available- you can use this range even if you're completely fair. There are green based colours and mahogany based colours, as well as gels, lotions, mousses and a wash-off tint. I opted for the Tinted Self Tan in Dark- because I'd never tried a gel before and wanted to see what the consistency was like, and because I like my tan DARK! My other favourite product is actually the world's first self tanner that lasts for 2-3 weeks- this was unheard of to me! The Phenomenal 2-3 Week Tanning Mousse is such a stand out, and it lasted on my skin for 2 and a half weeks. YUSS!

As always, I highly recommend using a tanning mitt in order to achieve a streak-free finish- but in saying that, Vita Liberata has such a good moisturising system that really helps make it all easier- but still use a mitt ;) What I also really like about these products is the natural fade it promises AND delivers. Some self tans kind of flake off, and it's really a bit of a drama being a patchy girl- who needs that in their life? Vita Liberata just seems to nicely fade away, just like a natural tan, and I'm all for it!
Given the extensive range of formulations and tones, I can safely recommend these to everybody, I properly love it. In fact I love it so much that the thought of running out gives me the chills. There's honestly just nothing bad about it! All you ever need to do to make it all work and come together is make sure you're nicely exfoliated beforehand...and use your mitt. I feel like I'm repeating myself, but I swear it's the key!
