Christmas Countdown:30 days.  My Christmas list will be posted near the end of this week so look out for that, there will be some great gift ideas.

I just had the most fantastic weekend away in Christchurch with husband and our lovely friends.  So not only did I discover how hospitable the South Islanders are, I also discovered what I think is one of the very best spray tans I have ever had.  I went to The Salon at Ballentynes, where I had the most fabulous experience and recommend anyone should visit if you are in Christchurch and have any spare time on your hands.   The staff there are fantastic, very obliging and very good at what they do.

I have had many spray tans over the years but this one is definitely one of the best, it’s called Aviva Labs and I was so surprised how good it was.  I had none of the issues that I would normally have with other spray tans, so this is why it’s so good:

it drys in minutes after being applied, so you can put your clothes including bra etc straight back on (which was essential as I really didn’t think as nice as they all were in the South Island, they were ready for me to appear braless on their streets);

it was very even, no patches and I hadn’t even had time to exfoliate before I had it done;

a fantastic colour and very natural;

didn’t come off on my sheets overnight;

faded very evenly;

lasted well over a week and I wasn’t even looking after it, so it could possibly last longer; and

it’s all natural ingredients, oil free, alcohol free, fragrance free, and hypoallergenic.

All in all I would say it was very good and this would be my pick at the moment of spray tans, the added bonus would have to that it’s all natural.  So my guess is that if you currently react to other spray tans, then this could be the one for you.  Also with it being natural it means you can have it done as often as you like without any worries, since it’s natural.

But here’s the only downside, you can only get at Ballentynes in Christchurch, so next time you go to your beautician ask them about it or if they can get it for you. You can buy their self tanners in a bottle which you can do yourself and I know you could order this from Ballentynes and they would ship it to you.  Or go to www.avivalabs.com.au and order the Sunless Tanning Gel which won the Gold Medal in Cleo Magazines Glammie Awards for best Self Tanning Product, directly from them.
