    So first, the caveats to this review: 1. I had a bit of a base tan from a couple of days at the beach when I used this product, so I wasn't starting from 'zero.' My skin is naturally pale, but I...

    At first, I thought I was getting a good deal.It was fairly cheap for a self-tanner.It was expensive for what it was. The first day, it was fine. The next day, after I put on some more, it looked...

    I just used this self tanner yesterday, and after a couple of hours, I saw a nice glow to my skin. But then, this morning, I had streaks all over my arms and legs, my ankles and wrists look dirty,...

    This is the 1st self tanner I have used and it it is quite bad. Of course I have nothing to compare it to but it is very splotchy and orangey, especially on very fair skin like mine. It goes on...

    I bought this because I could not find the Jergens stuff (which I love) anywhere. Plain and simple, this is awful. I am streaky as all get-out, and it stained my nails despite scrubbing and...

    I was so amazed at how well this product worked! It wasn't messy, too orange, or streaky! I was at the shade i wanted only after 2 uses!

    2 thumbs down. Turned me very orange and I normally have a nice natural complexion with yellow undertones.

    This was my first self tanning experience. The product was easy to use and left me with a nice golden color. (I'm LLL borderline PPP by the end of winter) I did learn that the bottle is wrong and...

    I do not use self tanners, but I did try this one to give me just a small boost of color. It applied ok, and the color was almost natural but when it would fade it would fade in patches. I would...

    I can't decide if I like this product. I really can't. On the one hand, in one application, it gives my pale limbs a much-needed boost of believable color. I actually become flesh-toned again!...

    this is the review for the face cream. Oh my god, it stinks so much! I bought it thinking for a nice spring glow but the smell is so gross that I can,t use it. It claims to be oil free but on my...

    Smells great. But, the lotion didn't apply evenly & ended up streaking. I had to have someone help me the second time.

    I tried the Build-A-Tan this summer. I do like the pump, but I ended up with streaks even after exfoliating, applying the product carefully, and much blending. Yuck! I will not repurchase.

    I don't know if I like this as well as my HG L'Oréal Sublime Bronze. The smell is a bit stiff, it does go on and seems to deliver some moisture. Don't know if I'd trade this for the Sublime Bronze....
