Amber Solaire No-streaks bronzer gel
A natural looking tan effect that looks as natural as the sun can give you, together with skin that feels smooth and silky.
Doesn't live up to its no-streaks promise. But the light colour version meant these weren't too noticeable. Comes in two different colours - light and dark. Gel consistency makes skin tacky to touch once applied. Smells lovely.

Clarins Delectable Self Tanning Mousse
A soft and lightweight mousse that melts into skin, leaving a subtle fruity fragrance. Skin is softened by mirabelle oil to reveal a natural-looking healthy glow.
No hint of the give-away smell of fake tan when applying. Instead this leaves skin smelling of peaches. The usual fake tan scent does come as tan develops but not as strong as normal. Colour takes up to three hours to develop and does give a golden colour. Only downside is the clear colour which makes application difficult. So streaking does occur though minimal.
