I didn't really feel like the gel did anything for me when I first used it but it gets there in the end and does make your legs look great. The problem I have with it is that when I get home from a night out or wake up in the morning with it on I see that it has become streaky at some stage. Not ideal.

Tips: If you're wearing it for a night out, wash it off before you go to bed! If it's streaky in the morning it's going to be difficult to remove.
I love the smell of this when applying, quite sweet and a bit like a cocktail. I was so impressed with how quickly the product drys, it's tinted too so you can see if you have missed anywhere, but I was disappointed with the light tan result that I had in the morning. Will try a couple more times but I have had better results with other self tanners.
I really love this bronzing gel, it's easy to apply and looks amazing. It's gorgeous and shimmery with the mica, and gives an instant bronze glow when you apply, which developes over a couple of days. I like that trilogy don't pump their products full of gunk, and this one is no exception. one tube lasts a really long time, and the tan itself stays for days. Also, it doesn't smell weird, like a lot of the cheapies on the market.
Tips: This is a bronzing gel, not a bronzing moisturiser, so it may be drying if you're not using it in conjunction with a moisturiser (which you should be anyway, to maintain the tan!). When you use it, exfoliate well first, then pop on a nice hydrating lotion, once that's dried, apply the gel, and rub it in REALLY well! Like with any bronzers, if you don't apply it evenly or wash your hands afterwards, you'll have little bronze patches everywhere.
I really liked the way this looked when I applied it, a nice glowing even bronzed tan. But the next morning when I washed it off, it was a very faint tan & quite patchy. I think it would be good for someone fair skinned & only looking for a slight tan. :)
I got this in my samplebar pack last year and I have to say, at first I wasn't impressed but after using it a couple of times I loved the colour I would get overnight! I was using this in conjunction with my le tan gradual moisturising tanner and I had a perfect flawless tan. UPDATED.. The trick to getting this right is all about a good exfoliation.. You need a good product that doesn't leave any residue on your skin or you will struggle with this streaking etc.. Best to apply this in the evening when you can be around home wearing loose clothing and let it develop overnight. I pop the seat down on my toilet so I can sit there and turn the bathroom fan on and apply in there, I find it helps with drying and definitely achieves a better end result when done this way (I mean lets face it, if you get a spray tan they dry you down)
Tips: Exfoliate with a great product that leaves no residue. Apply in the evening and after applying wear loose clothing. I like to apply this in the bathroom with the fan on - it helps it dry for a flawless finish. Maintain your tan with a gradual moisturizer / daily tanner.
Love this'!!! Im a huge fan of it being a slightly more natural product as self tan is something I wear alot of in summer. It has a plesant scent, and is easy to use. Only downside I found is it dries very very quickly so had to work fast with it. Gives a great golden non yellow tone that is easy to build up over a few days. Makes me feel fabulous and girlie with a bit of a tan!!!
Tips: Alternate days with a tan extender moisturizer to get the most wear out of your tan :)
This has a strong coffee scent and comes out of the tube as an intensely dark lotion with a ton of shimmer. One application is plenty for great colour, although the scent can be quite strong. The resulting tan is very even and natural.
Tips: To maintain an even tan and smooth skin, apply every second day and alternate with your regular moisturiser. For best results, apply before going to bed and shower off in the morning. This helps the colour develop overnight and tones down the scent by washing away any residue.
This is really easy to use for a nice and natural tan. It is quite shimmery and has quite an intense coffee, coconut cocktail sort of smell. It is not very long lasting, but I don't mind since it is a natural product
Tips: Ensure to exfoliate first!
This is such a fantastic bronzer. Extremely easy to apply, and doesn't get streaky. Also really easy to build. I layer this every couple of days to continue the colour and build it up. It doesn't go orange but stays a really nice bronze colour.
Tips: After a couple of hours of applying, jump in the shower and wash the stickiness off, this gives a really natural, beautiful colour! :)
This is by far the absolute best buildable fake tan I've ever tried. Because it's subtle and the colour is buildable there's no danger of it being too dark and I found that within three days I had the perfect shade of tan that I wanted and then all I needed to do was reapply it every few days to maintain the shade. It's made of all natural ingredients (no synthetic chemicals) and contains aloe vera and vitamin E to moisturise your skin. There's absolutely no danger of turning tandoori orange as with so many fake tans. The colour looks completely natural and from the moment you first put it on your skin glows because this product contains the light-reflecting mineral Mica, which shimmers. This product feels lovely (a smooth, moisturising gel consistency) and it dries super-fast so you can get dressed as soon as you've finished applying it without worrying about it staining any of your clothing. If you're wanting a fast and/or dark tan, use a different product, but if you're happy to build it up over a few days (and have more of a natural look) then this is the ultimate! It's a bit expensive but when I can afford it I think it's worth it.
Tips: The usual tips. Be hair-free and exfoliate before applying and be well-moisturised for beautiful, lasting colour.
