Review: The best instant tan. - I haven’t purchased this since my younger days and thought I’d give it another shot! OMG - so easy to apply (I used a tanning brush). This tan is good for one day needed tans as does go a bit blotchy if get wet but once it’s applied, it’s not tacky like most tans and doesn’t give streaks throughout the day. I tend to apply this if I’m wearing shorts as it makes my legs look 100% better. Literally takes 5-10 minutes to apply and dries into the skin so fast so can get on with the day! Brilliant product.
Review: Absolutely love this product - Cannot believe that I can still get this amazing stuff! I'm 51 n I used this alot from the age of 13! Still as amazing as then n the smell is the same too. Smells like perfume not the biscuit smell like other tanning products. It dries really quick n when U use a kabuki brush to apply it it is absolutely amazing. Never faulted at all. Easy to wash off too. Great for my legs which are so pale they look like milk bottles. No lie. Just look at the pics 😂 but the pics don't do it justice. I've used the medium shade so it gives me a lush golden glowing tan that doesn't look fake, streaky nor patchy. I've tried so many tanning products n this by far is THE BEST! Thanks Rimmel. U never to cease to amaze.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: erm why has this got glitter in? I just applied it! I am not an 8 year old girl I am a 40 year old man!**
A: Well I guess the answer is in the title Sunshimmer!   It also says in the description that it has a slight shimmer!  But hey 40 year old man be adventurous and give it a whirl you might like it!  Personally I use the medium one and I am 71 - yay!

**Q: can someone pls confirm... the sunshimmer... matte version... has no glitter in it... no sparkles... and is suitable for men? thank you**
A: I use it nearly every day and mine has no glitter in it and would be perfectly suitable for anyone. I have the light and medium as I'm quite fair and the medium makes me look too ginger. I always put on with moisture cream and it looks very natural.

**Q: Is this product not tested on animals**
A: I am not certain but your question led me to do some research. If you put the question to Google it brings up some rather contradictory statements from Rimmel. Namely despite their strong claims against animal testing if you click on the  'more' box there is an exception they say that applies where a country's laws insist on them being tested on animals - China supposedly being one.  The practice is I believe banned in Europe  so I would presume that the product sold here is not tested on animals but I think you will have to try and get a definitive answer from Rimmel directly.

**Q: Can you use this on top of a sun cream?**
A: Yes, you can.
