Great review, Christine! I was curious about this product. I applaud Josie for trying something new and innovative, but like you said the results are a bit underwhelming. I've been using the St. Tropez tanning mousse and I like it quite a bit (have to use the glove). It's easy and I get quick results.

It was definitely easier than a traditional self tanner, though I don't know that it was any easier than the gradual lotion tanners. I didn't have any streaks!

Would you say this product was easier than the normal lotions or creams you put on dry? Did you get any streaks at all? I am very fair like you and I always end up with streaks!

@Deb- I did it 4 days in a row, though I used the pouf each time and haven't tried just smearing it on with gloves yet. They show much darker tans on the show and say that it "individualizes" itself to the person, but really I can't imagine that it would change THAT MUCH. I'm going to keep using it until it's gone, I"ll try using it with gloves and I'll update here if it changes things that much.

Hi Christine. I actually have this on my QVC shopping list but have yet to purchase. I was waiting for reviews so thanks for doing this. Question for you: the product info says you can use it daily until you build your desired color. You noted in your review that you used it 4x and saw only a very subtle difference. Was that 4x in a row? Or did you wait days in between using it? Seems weird to me that if you use it day after day, it never builds in color intensity. If that is the case, then I will definitely pass. Thanks.

What an unusual idea for a product! I like the idea, but it doesn't look like it works all that well! Thanks for trying it out in the name of beauty! 🙂
