Tantasia by jane iredale - A sunless tan that's naturally you

Enjoy a sunless tan that’s naturally you with Tantasia by jane iredale. With more skin on show in summer, it’s no surprise a healthy, sun-kissed complexion is on most people’s wish list. Don’t risk the harmful effects of the sun or a faux orange glow. Instead enlist the help of jane iredale’s Tantasia. A unique mineral-based self-tanner, Tantasia works with your skin’s own melanin to produce an even, streak-free tan that’s unique to you.

Apply Tantasia daily on clean skin for three days and watch it build a perfect colour. Your Tantasia tan will last much longer than most self-tanners, because, believe it or not, it’s your own tan. Once you’ve achieved your desired shade, wear it confidently and simply touch up once you see the colour beginning to fade.

The ultimate 2-in-1, you can skip the moisturiser as Tantasia is enriched with wheat-protein that promotes natural skin hydration and natural vegetable-sourced silicone to leave your skin silky to the touch. 

Streak-free and orange free, you can rest assure Tantasia won’t give your new glow away either. Tantasia has an invigorating fresh fragrance right out of the tube and won’t leave you with that fake tan after-smell – you can apply it just before heading out the door. Enjoy the warmer months with a safe, golden glow that’s naturally you with Tantasia from jane iredale.

On shelves now RRP $54.00. For stockists please call 1300 850 008.

Prada CANDY

Instantly seductive - pure pleasure wrapped in impulsive charm. In an explosion of shocking pink and gold, Prada CANDY takes you on a walk on the wild side, showing a new facet of Prada femininity where more is more and excess is everything.

Prada CANDY evolved from a desire to push things to the maximum, to create totally new, unexpected and optimistic concepts.

A Cocktail of Musks 

A refined veil of timeless Musks drapes the Benzoin and Caramel notes, revealing an irreverent combination defying convention. The silky, powdery texture of the Musks brings a sophisticated and elegant character to the fragrance.

An Overdose of Laotian Benzoin 

Benzoin is a resin collected from the styrax tree, grown in the forests of Laos. Found here in an unprecedented concentration of 12%, it is addictive and sensual, with warm, sweet, balsamy notes evoking delicately vanilla-scented honey.
 

An Explosion of Caramel

In an unexpected Prada twist, a synthetic pop accord of Caramel is playfully jostling with the natural note of Benzoin. This Caramel accord is delicious, joyfully feminine and sweetly addictive.
