    This isn't sold in Canada at the philosophy counter so I was able to find it at Marshall's instead! I wasn't too thrilled with it at first (I had too many bronzers already). But I actually found...

    Just bought this today after the salesgirl at Ulta steered me away from the Tarte Glam Gams (which looked positively green on me when I used the tester!). So far so good. I love the creaminess of...

    Gives great, natural color. I apply it with gloves. Goes on like a moisturizer and looks very natural. If it does rub off on my clothes, which really only happens with light colors, it...

    I really love the color it gives you( I have both) but it does not stay on. It is all over your clothes and you really feel stupid seeing it on your clothes when you are out. I wish they would fix...

    I think there is a few versions of this, mine came in a pump, and is a Bronze color. I use it in the winter to make my legs look less dead, and pale and creepy. I really like the color, I love...

    Pros-No icky self-tanner smell. Makes legs look toned and evens out skin. No shimmer. Easy to apply. Cons-No matter how long you wait, it transfers onto clothes :-(. Lucky for me I wore dark...

    Like some of the other reviewers, I have a problem with the smell of self-tanners so I decided to try The Big Skinny for my legs. It was easy to apply and I had no problems with streaking. I...

    I bought this because like the other reviewers, I hate the smell and inconvenience of self tanners. I bought it in bronze, though I was unaware that it came in other colors, but no matter. Within...

    I've got this in Nude, which is possibly a bit pale for me (even though I'm quite fair). In this colour I don't really notice any bronzing or self-tanning qualities but it does make my skin tone on...

    This is my weekday bronzer. I save the best for the weekends. There is still nothing that comes close to my MAC Sundressing bronzer. The Big Skinny looks lovely on. It applies nicely, but dries...

    I picked this up for an evening event in which I'd be baring my legs and arms - but it was early March and my pasty self needed help! The Big Skinny came to the rescue and instantly gave me a...

    I luv to use this when I wear skirts, or whenever showing my legs. My skin is pale and not toned looking at all, too pink, and also shows viens. When I put this on, my legs look healthy and toned,...

    I must be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure. The directions say that you're supposed to wait 5-10 minutes before putting on clothing. I waited 20, and it's still rubbing off on my clothes. ...

    This stuff is fantastic! By far the most accurate representation of the sun's effect on the skin. Beautiful golden glow perfect for all skin types!
