It is time for a new beauty review here on my little corner of the internet. Today, is going to be all about the St Tropez Purity Face Mist. I feel like over the past couple of years, I have seen this product everywhere. More or less every single beauty YouTuber uses this as part of their evening skincare routine. For that reason alone, I wanted to give this a whirl for myself. I have been using this on and off now for the best part of 4 months. Before switching over to using this product, I solely used my normal Loving Tan Mousse on my face and I didn’t hate the result. However, I did feel like putting a heavy mouse such as the Loving Tan on my face cannot be good for it. That is the main reason for me wanting to try this out!
Why I wanted this item?
As I mentioned in the intro to this blog post, I wanted this St Tropez Purity Face Mist because everybody else had it. There are a couple of YouTubers that I watch where I actually trust their recommendation, and this continued to come up. People thought that it gave them a lovely tan and glow to the skin. Most also said that it encouraged them to go without makeup because their face matched their body more closely. I am willing to try anything that makes me step away from makeup as often!
Â
How I use it?
For me, this is always the last step in my skincare routine. Once I have finished cleaning my skin and moisturising to the heavens, I go in with this. I have seen that some people use it in a morning too as they would prime their face, but I just think this would be removed when I buff in my foundation. That way, with it being the last step, I can lay in bed flat on my back and allow it to develop. Which will eventually lead to me rolling over and transferring all of my face tan straight onto my pillow.
Â
The spray mechanism?
This is where my review on this item really starts. From the moment that I used this for the first time I realised that we had a problem. I take the cap off this item, hold it around 10cm away from my face and spritz away. Even holding it that close to my face, I still can’t feel the spray hitting my face. I have even tried holding it closer and still nothing. However, what I do find is that it leaks from the back of the pump onto my hand. To give it a fair try I went and bought another, but I found that one did the same thing. I expected a coating like the Urban Decay All Nighter Spray, but that is not the case!
Â
The shade?
As I just mentioned, the spray didn’t work great at getting the product onto my face. However, the shade of brown that it sent my hand really was quite nice. There has been occasions where I held the spray very close to my face and the glow that it gave me was lovely. To be honest, it was ever so natural, maybe too natural for me. My body can be quite deep in comparison to my face whenever I use this. That makes me want to have even fewer makeup free days, which is never the goal.
Â
Would I repurchase?
I think as you guys can probably gauge from this blog post, I wouldn’t repurchase. For me, the spray bottle on this St Tropez Purity Face Mist really did let it down. I feel like because of that, I couldn’t really try the product out to the extent that I would have liked. Especially because I was sick to death of getting a brown hand after using it and I would want to go with something else. I think that next on my list of face tanners I would opt for the u-tan collab that they did with Jamie Genevieve.
I hope that you guys liked this blog post and seeing what I thought about this. As I mentioned, when I get some on my face, I love it. However, I don’t think that the bottle works properly. I have tried two different ones now, both were the same. To be honest, I could just be getting quite unlucky with the ones that I am been sent, but I have lost faith. I think if this was worked on a little, I would like it so much more. I don’t think that I can continue to have an blotchy face and a very tanned forefinger and thumb. As I mentioned, I know that so many other people love this St Tropez Purity Face Mist. I would love to hear from you guys if you have tried this for yourself. Make sure to leave me a comment below!
