I had purchased the Tantastic tanning mousse from the first Beauty review vault when I had realized I needed a buffing mitt I went into my local farmers to find one. There were so many to choose from but I brought this one as it wasn't too cheap and wasn't too expensive, I couldn't bring myself to pay more than $20 for a buffing mitt.
The glove is very soft and thick, I was able to get behind my legs and my back better than I expected and it helped move the product around evenly.
With this being my first ever buffing mitt I didn't really know what to judge it on, but in saying that it made applying the mousse tanner so much easier compared to if I used my hand. Rubbing it into my skin helped the mousse absorb into my skin faster. I didn't get any streaks from the tanner and I think it had alot to do with this buffing mitt also.
I had used this mitt x4 before the side of the glove ripped, now it makes application hard as it slides all over the place. For the price I am happy to purchase another one, but I am hoping it was just a one off occasion where it ripped unexpectedly, if my next mitt rips I will be changing my review.
I decided to get a tanning mitt because I was sick of washing all the fake tan off my hands. I picked this one because it was one of the cheapest available at the time.
In terms of results, using a tanning mitt is way better than using your hands. It is streak free and quicker to apply. The product is also more evenly distributed but possibly also lighter.
I find a lot of product gets into the mit so I recommend washing after each use. I just use shampoo and water.
I also found having a brown mitt is a good idea if you don't want the excess product to be noticable.
