This was my first experience with self tanner in almost 20 years, and my has it changed! This is a fabulous product, and I really enjoyed using it.
The package comes with the large bottle of tanner, of which you won't use a lot for a single application, it will go far, an application mitt, stickers, a pump for the bottle, an instruction sheet, and a pair of nitrile gloves.
I read all the instructions on both the sheet and the bottle before beginning. The bottle is less specific than the paper sheet, which is to be expected, but does have one tip not included on the sheet, that you should avoid direct contact with fabric immediately after application, so I'm glad I read both. I followed the instructions basically to the letter, applying the tanner after a hot shower and thorough exfoliation. I was a little nervous that it would go on orange--I shouldn't have been! The color is very natural looking, and after applying with the provided mitt in a circular motion as instructed, I had very even color and no streaks!

I did use one of the included stickers to check my color difference, and am very glad that I did. The tanning lotion went on so naturally, that I was concerned it hadn't actually done much, but when I peeled the sticker off, I saw there was a drastic difference after all. Also unlike previous products I have tried, the smell is not bad. It doesn't smell great, but it doesn't smell badly either, and the smell isn't strong at all, which I appreciate. I would definitely recommend this!

Great sunless tanner that looks natural and doesn't flake. I was surprised that the bottle game with a really nice fabric glove, a pair of disposable gloves and a free sample.

The color is realistic but the lotion takes a long time to apply to the entire body, does tend to blotch if not put on with great care or if touched before dry. It also didn't seem to last more than a couple days. It may be a chore to repeat this frequently. I also felt a little suffocated during the recommended 8 hour drying time, sort of like that girl in Goldfinger... but if you want this enough, you'll probably do the work.

I have that fair Irish skin that only freckles and tans on my face and shoulders. I've used a few self tanners and this is hands down the best self tanning lotion I have ever used. I usually apply it after I shower every other day. It is just dark enough and looks natural. It definitely boosts my confidence in the summer. I get so many compliments from my family and friends on my sun kissed skin. I would recommend this to any pale skinned person looking for some color. I use a self tanning mitt to apply and it works beautifully :)

Great sunless tanning lotion for those who have fair skin and just want to tan certain areas. I had a really bad suntan line and used this to even it out. It's relatively easy and clean to use. It tans very gradually and you may well have to use it two days in a row before seeing a material change in colour (although you do see subtle darkening over one use). The creme is tinted so may appear streaky and very dark on application but washes off in the shower to a natural tan. Importantly, the colour is a natural brown tan and is NOT bronze or orange at all.
