L'oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Tinted Lotion, 5 Ounces (Pack of 3)

The best I found for THAT SORT OF TAN (with SPARKLE the day of application )- with IMMEDIATE result. (for lighter and durable color, no sparkle I like "L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion, Medium Natural Tan " - which needs a few hours to "kick in"). In self tanning there is the product lasting "one-day only" and THIS one: lasts days (don't go swimming same day though!) BOTH "L'oreal" tanning lotions smell NICE, too. BTW - "strike free" DEPENDS always on the personal application methods.. only that this one is applicable by HAND offering more control then "spray" in my personal experience.

It goes on well and the color lasts good. The smell is not too bad either. I was using a different brand for years until they discontinued it, but this is the next best thing.

This is the only tinted lotion I use and have for years. It is easily absorbed, dries quickly and evenly. It is a standard staple after showering.

I bought a tanning mitt to put it on with and it goes on so easy, I love it. No orange color or streaking. I use an old blush brush for around my toes, ankles, knees and feet. Love this stuff

I've used this product for a number of years and generally really like it. I've found that the application method is the most important part of getting the most out of the lotion. For starters, don't do it before bed. Your legs rubbing together (through pjs or not) will cause splotchiness. I generally use this product when I have some extra time in the morning. I shower first, exfoliate, and make sure I'm completely dried off before application. Use a generous amount to get a more even application. Wash your hands very thoroughly. I will do this first thing out of the shower and then go through the rest of my morning routine (brushing my teeth, styling my hair, putting on make up etc.) naked as this dries. Then I put my pjs back on or other very loose clothing. I'll eat breakfast and whatever else I need to do that morning and save getting dressed for very last. This gives the product as much time as possible to dry without being interfered with by tight seems. My biggest complaint with this product is the sparkles, they're only noticeable under direct light or sunlight but they're pretty tacky looking in my opinion. I've found that I can rid myself of them pretty easily by putting on a regular lotion an hour or so after application. This also helps blend and smooth out the tanner and improve the appearance of the skin. I usually try to apply two days in a row and that lasts about 3 days before starting to rub off. One bottle will typically last me about 8 whole body applications or longer if I'm only using it on my legs. I'm very fair and this product looks fairly natural. Not as pink as my actual skin tone but I sort of like that. I certainly wouldn't say it makes me look orange! Overall I would definitely recommend this for someone trying to get some subtle color without subjecting themselves to skin damage. If the desired look is a drastic skin tone change then I would look elsewhere!

I am a white, white person and the shade of my legs is frankly unpleasant— this stuff literally eliminates that problem. I don’t use it on my face, but legs and body—it’s great. Plus it has color so you get instant shade improvement. It comes off on sheets if you get right into bed but it also completely washes out. This product is a 10/10

DO NOT BUY!! This product is NOT L’Oréal Sublime Bronze. I’ve used the real thing forever and this is not it. It is a terrible look alike. First giveaway, the sparkle is Opalescent not gold. The second is the thickness and the third is the depth and tone of the color. DO NOT BUY

I purchase every summer because it looks like a real tan. Definitely not orange. I get complements from people all the time. They always think I have spent the weekend outside.
