This product is marketed as a self tanner and bronzer for the body. When you first open the box you realize that the tube is huge! That normally would be a good thing. (ST average around 4 oz....

This is a different type of tinted moisturizer with little beads of colors that burst when you rub them on. I think it makes for a very natural bronzing effect but you do have to be careful and not...

I was torn after using this product. While it gives a great bronze color, the beads make it a very poor product. I like that it also is a moisturizer, but I just couldn't get past the beads. ...

I received this as a sample for Sephora. I echo what other reviewers said about the bronzing beads not bursting uniformly; I had the same experience. I tried to burst the beads in the palm of my...

I recently purchased a few items on Sephora.com and received some free samples which included Tarte’s Sunburst Beaded Bronzing Lotion. You really had to squish the bronzing beads and kind of...

I wouldn't buy this because I'm not all about bronzers. But if I were, this would be the bronzer for me. The premise is terriffic - moisturizer with bronzing beads that burst under pressure from...

Even as a huge Tarte fan I was really hesitant to give this a try. I thought as a moisturizer it would turn my skin into a grease pit. I finally decided to buy it and am now kicking myself for not...

I loved this bronzer.It goes on smooth and easy. The beads burst under the pressure of your fingertips and blend in so well. There is no orange look to this at all for me. I am very fair and it...
