    Ugh, this product was SO bad. First of all, the lotion is thick so it's hard to spread it in. Second, after I thought I had done a pretty good job of blending, I woke up the next morning to...

    This by far the worst self-tanning product that I've used. Many products have evolved and look more natural but I feel like this product was as bad as ones that I used 10 years ago! I was extremely...

    Like another reviewer said - I bought this because it was voted best by Allure - I don't know what they were comparing it to. Don't waste your time or money.

    This wasn't the worst I've tried, but it wasn't very moisturizing, dried too quickly to rub in evenly, and smelled bad. The color was orange.

    in reality a 4.5. the .5 reduction is for the fact that it isnt 100% fool-proof (but then again, what is?). i find this product easy to use and really fantastic for giving a *glow*. i mix this...

    I bought this product because it won best of allure. How do they pick? They say its from the readers, but then why do MUA, Sephora & Allure never match up in the least with their ratings....anyhoo....

    I mainly bought this product to cover tan lines and it just turned me orange. The smell wasn't too horrible but it did rub off onto my bra. Overpriced and NOT WORTH BUYING.

    Too orange. Smells like death. Consistency sucks -- hard to rub in. Boo.

    Good, gradual, HEALTHY, way to add a glow for summer. Although watch out for any dodgy bits like elbows knees and ankles, it will look fake then. But should you make the mistake anyway, it can be...

    I was on the hunt for a good self tanner and saw it was an Allure pick so I thought it must be good. Wrong!!! It made me look orange and it streaked really bad. Don't waste your money!

    Ugh, this product did absolutely nothing for me. Didn't even add a single touch of colour to my skin. But I give it a 2 because although it didn't do anything good, it didn't do anything bad either.

    This tanner comes out streak-free and DOES gradually deposit more color each time you use it, but I hate how orange I end up turning. Will not repurchase or recommend to anyone.
