Golden Glow

I applied my sugarbaby tan of the hour with a tanning mitt I had already. I liked the consistency as it was thick and creamy so was really easy to apply and it just glided on.

The smell was faint actually less than alot of other tanning products I couldnt notice the smell after application at all unlike others.

Great coverage, great colour dried really quickly so was able to get dressed about 10minutes after. I left on for 3 hours until I showered, and when I did I didnt use any soap I just let the water run over me to get rid of the top layer of bronzer, pat dried then went about my day.

I highly recommend this product. I use fake tan all through summer and this is now my new favourite.

Tips: Apply with a tanning mitt.

Better than any I've tried...

...and I've tried a lot!

I don't scrimp when it comes to self tan. I'm used to paying upwards of $50 and I'll generally get one to two uses from that.

I was surprised that this product was only $33, the tube is generous and the product goes a long way. It's economical for sure!

The smell is lovely. Sure there's a fake tan scent underneath the coconut, but the coconut does its job admirably and masks the unpleasantness well.

This is easy to apply, absorbs evenly and doesn't go blotchy. There was no clothing transfer during the developing time and showering was very easy and mess free.

The colour was incredibly deep, not in darkness so much as tone. You look like you have grown up in the tropics, naturally a sun kissed goddess.

I love that this is vegan and cruelty-free. I love the ease of application and the depth of colour. Most of all I love that this worked as well on my mood as it did my body - it gave me a real boost and made the last few weeks of winter brighter!

Tips: The Sugarbaby back applicator sent with this trial product is really worth checking out!

SugarBaby Tan

Probably a bit to dark for my liking so go easy on the application. But overall it did what it said, gave an even tan. The smell wasn't to over powering like some tans on the market. I quite like it. I'd use again.

Tips: Exfoliate first! Remember the ankles, knees, elbows and wrists. Wash the palm of your hands if accidentally get it on there. Use the provided mit. Don't over do your first application. See how the colour develops first and add more if wanting a deeper tan.

Smooth legs and nice colour

I used this with the SugarBaby body mitt. It provides a good coverage and doesn't need to be washed off as the colour develops. I was worried it might be too dark so applied a light coverage and was very happy with the colour on my legs. There were no steaks, the product smells like coconut and leaves your skin feeling smooth.

My teenage daughter also used this and her colour has lasted 3 days and counting, still looking tanned with no streaks.

Tips: Exfoliate before and apply moisturizer to knees ankles etc.

Long lasting

Plenty of pros for me from this product. The cream is just thick enough that it won’t run everywhere but thin enough that it spreads nice and easy. It has a nice light coconut smell without screaming ’self tan’. Love the fact that it goes on pretty much exactly same colour that it develops to. No nasty surprises turning out too dark. No rub off on sheets or clothing once it’s dry! Huge bonus. Nice not having the big ranga patch on the white sheets in the morning. The colour gradually fades over about 5 days so that’s a pretty good life span I’d say. The applicator makes back application actually possible! I’d never tried one before. I found you need to do some weird contortions to get it all rubbed in even but it’s a heck of a lot better than hugging yourself to spread it around lol It’s nice and hydrating compared to a lot of tanners I’ve used which is a plus on 50 year old skin Easy to use squeezy bottle with a flip lid that’s easy to close with one hand. Product definitely does what it claims to do. My only negative comment would be that it’s slightly more orange than what I’d like but I think because it’s so easy to use and long lasting I’d probably stick with it anyway. It’s a big thumbs up from me. I’d recommend both products

Tips: Make sure it’s nice and even or it leaves streaks where it’s not rubbed in properly. As I discovered when I did a rush job on the belly

Excellent!!

Firstly i have to say i am a newbie to self tanning lotions, i usually bathe on the sun but i shouldn't do this so trying to get into self tan. As not having many to compare to i found this one to be pretty good. I exfoliated the day before and then applied the next day. It smelt really nice, like i was in the islands. I didn't have a mitt so i applied with my hands, started at the top and worked my way down, i applied quite lightly though as i wasn't sure and didn't want to be dark dark. It went on nicely i thought. I left on for only 3hours and then had a shower. It gave me a nice glowing tan. I don't think it looks like a real tan from the sun though, in my opinion it looks a bit fake. But it's hydrating and overall much better for your skin. I would penalty purchase again because of how nice it smelt and the moisturizing benefits. Overall a pretty nice product.

Tips: You need a mitt. It would apply much nicer and evenly. Go easy around your knees and elbows, not too heavy. Maybe next time I'll leave it on for the 4hours.

Very nice natural colour

I was super excited to be chosen for this review team! I am an all year round user of fake tabs and am always on the lookout for the next best one.

I like the colour of the tube it looks beachy and a nice goldy colour, also with the pink of the Sugar Baby brand. It promised to give a natural looking tan without the orangey look that some self tans give, so has to be a winner! The smell is actually really nice, compared to most self tans it didn’t have that much of a smell which was pleasantly surprising. The consistency is nice, quite thick and creamy and doesn’t drip which is great. It is very dark (ultra dark tan), and I thought maybe it was too dark and would look terrible but it didn’t! I was able to dress within about ten minutes too which was an important factor for me as I often apply when I’m getting ready for work and it needs to be quick drying.

It blended really well and I couldn’t see and streaks at all- I am a lazy tanner though and generally don’t exfoliate my dry areas haha however it didn’t seem to make much of a difference. The back tanner I received with the tan is a whole another level, what a fantastic idea! I have heard of these but never used one and was so glad I did! It is wonderful and easy to use once you get the hang of it.

All in all I really like this self tan, consistency, smell, ease of use and the colour are all great, I’ll definitely be buying this in the future!

Tips: I applied using a mitt, went on easily and didn’t stain hands

Glow baby!

I was super excited to try this as I am a huge fan of the Sugar Baby bronzer, but hate that it washes off.

This tanning lotion is pretty cool, the bottle looks great (and somehow eco friendly!?!) and the lotion is a dark brown almost gel like consistency. You can definitely see where you have applied, it goes on smoothly and evenly - a little goes a long way which I realised too late! - and dries quickly. It has a nice tropical scent but you can still smell it’s a fake tan until you shower or off.

It’s effective right away and goes really dark after a few hours. I put this on at night and wasn’t sure I had applied enough and woke up to a SUPER tanned bod! It’s definitely olive toned and picks up natural pigmentation on the skin, but it did settle a bit after a gentle exfoliation the next night. Even with the back applicator, it was quite tricky to get it even as the colour develops so dark. The longevity seems good too and lasts at least three days before going patchy.

This is definitely a welcome addition to my fake tan collection as I need all the help I can get. It looks a bit overly fake given it’s only just spring and I’m super tan, but for tropical holidays or in summer will look a bit more natural.

Tips: Wash your hands asap if not using a mitt.

SugarBaby Tan of the Hour

I have always loved Sugar Baby tanning products so when I heard about the new Tan of the Hour, self tan I had to give it a try. The packaging is very easy to read and attractive, very in keeping with the Sugar Baby brand. Upon opening the lid the scent was so nice, definitely smelt like the mix of coconut and vanilla that the label promised. The cream itself was very dark and decadent looking. Using my tan mitt it spread so nicely and gave an instant healthy glow to my skin. This instant bronze helped in making the application even as you can easily see where you have missed and smooth streaks. The back applicator it came with was a game changer and I don't know why I have never looked for one before. It made back application so quick and so even. As the tan developed I could see the depth of colour grow and being a very pale skinned individual I was a little worried it would be obvious it was fake. I was so surprised that even though it was dark, it looked so natural and didn't look too out of place on my skin. I really like this product and look forward to using it more as the weather gets warmer and my limbs come out of their winter hibernation.

Tips: I tried using this tanning product the same as I have with others, using a make up brush to apply it to my face as I would a bronzer. It was super blendable and worked so well
