I was really tempted to buy the Soleil Tan de Chanel last summer but I didn't in the end, because I was worried it would be a bit too orange, but after hearing so many good things about it on other people's blogs I thought it was time to try it and I'm really glad I did. I have quite pale skin so I do have to be careful when applying it. I like to use my buffing brush and use it as a base under my foundation or tinted moisturiser, so it is more subtle. It gives a glow that is lovely now it's starting to get a bit warmer (please last sun! Pleaseeee), and I'm starting to use my gradual tan on my body as well. It is quite expensive at £29.00 but it is also huge (30g) and I have been using it fairly regularly since I bought it 2 weeks ago and haven't even made a dent in it. I can see this lasting me a really long time, which is always a plus :)
The packaging for Chanel products is always so darn beautiful!!!
It comes with a plastic cover as well as the lid, which is great to protect it. So pretty.
As you can see, it looks like I have barely touched it but I have used it at least 10 times.
Here are some pictures of me in various stages of using it. I apologise for my hair being wet but I always let my hair dry whilst I do my make up.
With nothing on my face but after applying moisturiser etc.

With the Soleil Tan de Chanel as a base, applied with my buffing brush from Real Techniques.
With a mixture of Chanel Perfection Lumiere with Tinted Moisturiser also applied with my buffing brush, over the Soleil Tan.
After I have finished my make up. I really like the subtle glow it gives after you have applied the rest of your make up.
