Here at Bellamianta, we’ve kick-started 2019 in true style. We’re delighted to say that for the third year running, we are the Official Tan Partner of RTE’s much-loved, Dancing with The Stars Ireland, and we couldn’t be happier about it!

This year’s line-up is truly spectacular and with a star-studded cast, we’re proud to be bringing our luxury tan behind the scenes to treat celebrities to Ireland’s number one luxury tan.

Each Sunday night, we’ll be showing up with our top tanning technicians ensuring the celebrities glow from head-to-toe. This year’s cast is a glitzy line-up and includes: Broadcaster Mairead Ronan, Former Miss Ireland & Britain’s Next Top Model Holly Carpenter, Fashion Stylist & Presenter Darren Kennedy, Mrs Browns Boys Eilish O’Carroll, Comedian Fred Cooke, Actress and former Fair City star Clelia Murphy, Dublin footballer and All Ireland Winner Denis Bastick, Actor Johnny Ward, Ireland and Munster Rugby Star Peter Stringer, Country Music Singer Cliona Hagan and star of the Young Offenders Demi Isaac Oviawe.

Bellamianta will be on-hand ahead of each show to take care of the cast’s tanning needs. As the competition begins to heat up (and how hot it has been already!) and celebrities aim for a golden score each week, there’s one performance they won’t have to worry about: the work of their flawless tan.

Our Bella ambassadors arriving ahead of the show

For this season of Dancing with the Stars Ireland, celebrities are treated to our skin-loving spray tan, for the perfect combination of nourishment and beautiful bronzed glow. Plus, they can easily keep the glow alive, thanks to our at-home collection of easy-to-apply products, including our coveted Self-Tanning Gradual Moisturiser. Offering an instant boost of confidence, we’re sure they’ll effortlessly sparkle on that dance floor, safe in the knowledge that their tan won’t let them down.

‘Fail to prepare, prepare to fail’ is our beloved motto, and while we’ll have to wait each week to see how the stars face the various dance styles, there’s no doubt that their tan will score tens all around.

Over the course of Dancing with the Stars Ireland, we’ll be bringing you behind the scenes coverage as our professional tan technicians work their magic. Plus, you can expect plenty of tanning tips, details of products used so that you can achieve the look at home, expert tanning insight and much, much more.

The biggest night of the year has almost arrived! Whether you’re planning a quiet date night or attending the hottest club in town, whatever way you choose to see 2018 out, making sure your tan is on-point is easy, thanks to our New Year’s Eve tanning scenarios.

Dinner and drinks

If you’re opting to casually ring in 2019 with a loved one over a romantic meal, you’ll need a chic look, perfect for the occasion. While you might be opting for a more relaxed approach to New Year’s Eve, it’s the most stylish night of the year and definitely worthy of upping the ante. Thankfully, a midi skirt and tee is the perfect combo, easily matching those hard to nail smart-casual vibes. Complete the look with ankle boots and a faux fur coat for a blogger-worthy finish. With a little skin on show, make sure you’re glowing thanks to you fave Bellamianta tan. We recommend our Rapid Self Tanning Tinted Mousse for a fast-acting tan so that you can choose your perfect hue.

House party

Stacks of snacks and homemade cocktails make the humble house party a top contender for seeing the year out in style. If you’re steering clear of a big night out in favour of a laid back house party, make lo-fi glamour the order of the day! Choose the casual cut of a t-shirt combined with the glamorous overtones of embellishment for the ultimate relaxed-yet-fashion-forward party look. Pair with your must-have skinny jeans and a long-line blazer for a winning finish. When it comes to your tan, ensure your skin is flawless! Apply our Skin Perfecting Instant Tan for beautifully bronzed smooth skin in seconds.

Nightclub

To really see the year out in style, grab your #girlsquad and go out-out, hitting the city’s hottest nightclub. It definitely doesn’t get much more glamorous than this so it’s the perfect reason to pull out all the stops. We say, sparkle, shimmer and shine your way into 2019! Opt for sequins to really dazzle from head-to-toe. Plus, our Liquid Gold Self Tanning Tinted Liquid is the ultimate New Year’s Eve tan! This light liquid formula dries in just 60 seconds and develops over 4-6 hours into a beautiful golden olive tone, which will last up to 7 days, meaning you’ll glow long into the new year.

Bar

With the appeal of going out, while remaining a little more casual, bar-hopping is a popular New Year’s Eve option and right up our straight! The atmosphere when the clock strikes midnight is electric and you’ll need an outfit that matches up to this. And here, anything goes. From laid back style to all out glam, you can pretty much get away with anything here, so it’s easy to let your personal taste shine through. For us, metallics will always be a winner, while a classic LBD is the perfect failsafe option. When it comes to your tan, our Self Tanning Tinted Lotion is a match made in heaven. Available in a range of shades, choose the one which meets your tanning needs.

Wherever you choose to go and whatever trend you’re setting, when the clock strikes midnight, your gorgeous golden glow will ensure you bring in the new year in style.

Happy New Year from the Bellamianta team! 

Here at Bellaminata, we take great pride in creating a collection of tans, to offer something for everyone. While some members of your #girlsquad will have their go-to tan, there are those who are still searching for their perfect match. Whatever your skin type, tanning demands or desired outcome, we have the tan that’s right for you!

And so that you can call off the search for the one, here’s a breakdown of the types of tans in our collection.

Mousse

Bellababes put our selection of award-winning mousses at the top of their list. From novice tanners to those who class themselves as pros, our revolutionary mousse tans are super easy to apply and bursting with natural extracts, making them the ultimate skin treatment for all skin types. When it comes to which mousse to choose, our Rapid Mousse is available in tinted and clear formulas, allowing you to choose the hue that’s right for you. Or for those who prefer things a little darker, our Ultra Dark Self Tanning Tinted Mousse is ideal if you want the deepest golden olive tone.

Lotion

Bursting with so much moisture, if your skin tends to be a little dryer, opt for our lotions for the perfect combination of colour and hydration. Available in medium and dark, as well as our Liquid Gold formula, the ultra-smart hydration system ensures that whilst this tan dries in 60 seconds, the light formula is still working hard to hydrate your skin, long after application, for a tan that keeps on giving. This ensures that your tan wears off evenly with a flawless fade and none of that dreaded snakeskin effect. 

Gradual tan

For those who prefer a subtle colour, or who wish to extend their existing tan, our Self Tanning Gradual Moisturiser is a real winner. Make this your secret go-to tanning weapon and enjoy enviable, soft skin all year round. Super easy to apply, pop on to create a radiant, buildable colour. Bursting with natural fruit extracts such as mango, papaya and goji berry, these skin-loving ingredients work with the skin’s natural melanin to provide our signature golden tone. Plus, shea butter will moisturise and restore skin’s elasticity, while our unique combination of bergamot and seabuckthorn oil firms and tones, with anti-cellulite properties to help combat wrinkles, dryness, and other symptoms of ageing or neglected skin.

Instant

When those last minute DMs have you unexpectedly going out-out, tan-and-go thanks to our Skin Perfecting Instant Tan. This tan loves your skin as much as it loves the camera, with light reflecting particles so that you can dazzle all night long. This multi-tasking product can be worn alone, over tan, or mixed with your foundation to give you an airbrushed, flawless finish so that you’re always photo ready.

Why our gift sets are a killer Christmas gift!

We might be biased but here at Bellamianta, we think there’s nothing better than giving the gift of beauty. So with this in mind, we have put together a killer collection of Christmas gift sets, perfect for the tan fan in your life. And if you still need a little convincing – no problem! Here’s five reasons why you should snap these up today…

1. Let it glow!

There’s no doubt about it… ‘tis the season to glow! Come December, our calendars are jam packed full of festivities. From after-work drinks with friends, to Christmas parties a plenty, not to mention the need to ring in the new year in style, December demands a tan that works just as hard as you do. Plus, the party season calls for extra sparkly clothing, which of course, goes hand-in-hand with a gorgeous golden glow.

With so many events to attend, undeniably, your tan deserves to be on-point. And giving your nearest and dearest one of our fabulous gift sets will ensure they have everything they need to glow this festive season.

2. Find their perfect match

Because everyone’s skin tone is different and we all have individual tanning requirements, we don’t adopt a one tan fits all policy. We’ve created a range of gift sets with something for everyone so that you can easily gift someone a tan that closely matches their needs. Plus, all of our sets include our premium Tanning Mitt meaning the recipient can tan-and-go.

3. All wrapped up

When it comes to wrapping and exchanging gifts, it doesn’t get much easier than this! Let’s face it… no one enjoys wrapping presents. All that cutting and sticking when you could be enjoying a nice cold glass of Prosecco beside an open fire! Thankfully, our gift sets are so beautifully packaged that you can just hand them straight over as they are. Bonus points if you add a gold sparkly bow.

4. The gift that keeps on giving

It doesn’t get much better than giving someone a gift that they actually want and will use. Giving the gift of self tan to the person who appreciates it the most is an easy way to show you care and that you pay attention. Every time the recipient opens up that beautiful box to apply their tan, they’ll think of you and smile.

5. A premium gift without the hefty price tag

At Bellamianta, we take great pride in the fact that we’ve created a premium tanning collection, without the hefty price tag. This means that this Christmas, you can easily give someone a high quality present without breaking the bank, as our gifts sets make both the perfect stand-alone gift or stocking filler. Plus, you can add in one for yourself too, guilt-free. We won’t tell anyone if you don’t.

‘Tis the season to tan! Shop our collection of Christmas Gift Sets and let it glow, let it glow, let it glow.

An abundance of twinkly fairy lights fill the air, sparkly decorations adorn trees and the John Lewis ad has graced our TV screens, meaning that the festive season has well and truly arrived. Christmas party nights, catch ups with friends and festive drinks are all about seeing the year out in style, which means that our fashion definitely deserves to be on point. No doubt your attention will be turning towards pulling together some seriously stylish looks this season, and thankfully, we have the answer. We’ve rounded up a carefully curated collection of festive fashion, all of which are perfect for showing off that gorgeous Bellamianta glow.

Sparkle, shimmer and shine

Undeniably, the festive season is all about sparkle, so get on board with it this Christmas. Every wardrobe should have at least one sparkly piece so if yours is missing a little shimmer, it’s the perfect excuse to go shopping. And of course, sequins and a beautiful bronzed glow go hand-in-hand. To really take things to the next level, opt for our Skin Perfecting Instant Tan, with light reflecting particles for an Insta-worthy skin finish that really comes through in photos.

Naughty with some nice

When it comes to fashion, we like ours with a little edge. This festive season, juxtapose the hard and soft for an unexpected look. A girlie tulle skirt paired with a leather jacket is guaranteed to turn heads. Just make sure to roll up those sleeves to show off your beautifully bronzed arms. Or, like this Bella girl, contrast gold with black for a harder edge. This hardworking look will effortlessly take you from office to barstool for after-work drinks. In the morning, top up your tan with our Self Tanning Gradual Moisturiser to give skin a boost of radiance and hydration.

Short and sweet and to the point

The festive season definitely demands a head-turning look so turn your attention to the mini. Whether it’s a dress, skirt or playsuit, we say the shorter the better! It’s all about showing off those gorgeous glowing legs after all. For perfect tanning results that really stand the test of time, make our Self Tanning Tinted Lotion your go-to. Available in both medium and dark, finding your perfect hue has never been easier.

LBD

Every fashionista’s go-to, the little black dress has long been a wardrobe staple and it’s easy to see why. Available in a range of lengths, styles and silhouettes, finding one that works wonderfully for you has never been easier. Because the festive season brings with it a wealth of last minute invites, you’ll be prepared for every eventuality with this hanging in your wardrobe. Just make sure your skin is prepared too. Our Liquid Gold Self Tanning Tinted Liquid dries in just 60 seconds and develops over the next four to six hours into an enviable golden olive tone that last for up to 7 days.

Seeing red

Santa baby! Red is undeniably one of the season’s most on-trend hues, which isn’t surprising, given its ability to flatter all skin tones. Plus, it’s instantly super-sexy so ideal for those big nights out on the town. If you like your tan dark (and it works with your skin tone), choose our Ultra Dark Self Tanning Tinted Mousse for a gorgeously dark tan that will look killer with that red outfit.

So this festive season, whatever style you choose, we have the perfect accessory – a beautiful Bellamianta glow!

Halloween is just a week away, and if you pride yourself as a bit of a Halloqueen, no doubt you’ve got your heart set on a seriously stylish yet spooky look to slay all this season.

Sugar skull by @auroramakeup

 While the sugar skull might have been around for a while, it’s a classic for a reason. Plus, the amazing thing about this look is that it’s actually quite easy to pull off. Once you’ve perfected your eyes and mouth, add a touch of sparkle with embellishments to really highlight that amazing golden glow!

Joker by @makeupby_tashxx 

This Halloween, the joker gets an upgrade, thanks to @makeupby_tashxx. The look is all about black and red working together in perfect harmony. And of course, we love the infusion of glitter to really take things to the next level.

Pumpkin lost in the woods by @abbiestandagemakeup

While the concept might be a little out there, there’s no denying that Abbie’s pumpkin lost in the woods has maximum impact. You (or a friend) will need a steady hand to recreate this pumpkin which will definitely see you win the look of the night, for sure.

Poison Ivy by @ciaciaxo

Sultry, seductive and seriously stylish, this ultra glam Poison Ivy slays Halloween! Opt for green contacts, lashings of eyeliner, dark and moody lips and a touch of green pigment to pull off this look. Finally, finish with some ivy for maximum impact.

Woodland Pixie by @georgiarosex

This super sweet pixie strays far from the norm, and we love it! Giving us real Daenerys Targaryen vibes, opt for soft make-up with a touch of bronze to give your look ethereal vibes.

Unicorn by @tosalonsuites

The majestic unicorn was a top choice for last year and its reign is set to continue! Here, it’s all about the fusion of pretty pastels and an abundance of glitter for a costume that’s out of this world.

Scarecrow by @makeupby_makenzie

There’s nothing frightening about Makenzie’s scarecrow. Again, an easy one to full off with a little practice, we love her glitter lids and addition of a sunflower for the perfect finish. Pop on a checked shirt, skinny jeans and a wide-brimmed hat and you’re good to go.

Cleopatra by @joleanmua

A classic that will forever remain close to our hearts, this winning Cleopatra look is definitely giving us Egyptian vibes. Use blue and green shadow for dramatic eyes, and don’t forget to finish off with that iconic eyeliner flick to slay Halloween.

Cherry blossom tree by @kerminaxtadros

Be like a tree for a pretty offering this year. This cherry blossom tree effortlessly merges with pink tones for a head-turning look. Start with your make-up, draw on your branches and add pink and white flowers for the perfect finish.
