Very easy to use

I was excited to try this bronzing creme as have tried so many fake tans. Comes in a tube and is vegan and packed with lots of lovely natural ingredients. Has a slight coconut smell but it is not overpowering. Comes out of the tube very dark and I thought oh no this is not going to look natural, but it rubs in really well. Don't use too much at once, Just squeeze onto your mitt and rub in using a circular motion. Make sure you rub it all in and watch out for lines and places you have missed. Goes on so easily and does blend into your skin very well. I used over my whole body and then make sure you wait for it to dry before getting dressed. Doesn't take too long and didn't rub off on my clothes. My skin had a nice healthy glow and had a bit of a shimmer. Looked really good and was very moisturising. Next morning in the shower it just washed off, make sure you do wash it all off though as I didn't the first time and some of it ended up on my towel. Is great for a night out and if you botch it up, at least it washes off in the shower. Would definitely use again as is just so super easy.

Tips: Take your time blending into you skin, I found the mitt worked really well. Make sure to wash it all off properly the next day.

I'm torn...

I really like the idea of this product, and I loved the result but there are a couple of downsides for me. I love that you can see really easily where you've applied it (Hot tip - use a glove!) and I love that you can build up colour to the level you want. I'm not so much a fan of the glittery effect thou :( It's pleasant smelling and absorbs really nicely but I struggled to get the cap to shut on the tube without flicking product everywhere. It's also REALLY dark straight out of the tube and when first applied but don't freak out lol, it's more subtle once rubbed in. It dries quickly and wasn't sticky at all so it's a much faster process than fake tan for sure. I think it's perfect for a little bit of colour on the run and it didn't go orange at all on my pasty white skin unlike most fake tans that I've used. Washes off just as easily as it went on and I didnt experience any transfer to clothes etc, even when I got a little sweaty!

Tips: Use a glove to apply if you have one, a much better result although bonus is that a quick wash off means no bronzed paws!

A revelation!

I love me some fake tan in summer, but tend to hold off during winter to avoid looking unnaturally bronzed,

This is a lovely rich cream, really hydrating and deliciously scented.

It looks dark upon application but as you spread the product it lessens and finishes as a shimmery bronze. It's kind of that healthy glow you want with a bit of pizzazz.

It washes off well, you don't need to scrub hard, just wash as usually with your shower puff.

I've marked this down as it did transfer onto my clothing - not much, and it was on the weird hot Easter weekend, so maybe a sweat thing?

Otherwise this is an amazing product, highly recommend!

Instantly bronze

I was lucky enough to receive this instant tan from beauty review and I must say once it arrived I was a wee bit unsure . It was relatively easy to apply especially with the mitt I got with it . Because it was instant tan you could see where you had put it . It was pretty and shimmery which I liked . When I asked my family and friends they said it looked really nice and I was definitely more tan than before. I think this product will be great to put on my legs when I’m going places that I havent made plans for but I probably will continue to fake tan as I don’t think I would like to put this on my whole body as I get sweaty and I would be afraid to sweat the lotion off.

Gorgeous

Absolutely loved it. The colour was amazing, didn't have that green undertone that I find some other tans do. It also spread very easily compared to others that sometimes dry too fast to push round well. Also has a nicer smell than others! The only downside is that it rubbed onto my clothes quite a lot but I did dance and sweat a wee bit so definitely my fault. Overall this was a great product.

Tips: Its quite sensitive to water so careful when washing your hands.

Sugar baby tropical holiday

I used this just before I went to a wedding, it dried quickly as I did it 40 minutes before I had to leave and it sunk it well and didn't rub off on clothes so that was awesome. Easy application and wasn't streaky. It was quite shimmery so in the afternoon it was maybe a bit much, but hey I owned it anyway! Smelt awesome and the application was easy and not messy, wiped off the bathroom bench easily too. I would definitely use it again. I didn't see it wash off in the shower, was pretty subtle.

Tips: Do it early and layer for a darker effect, lasted all night for me!

Sugarbaby love

I have been a sugarbaby lover since way back! This has the same signature sugarbaby smell, but the gloss product is quite different!

I used the mitt, which allowed the color to glide on evenly and smoothly each time. The color seems slightly darker than previous product but looked beautiful and natural. Super hydrating as well!

I will definitely reuse as i love the super quick dry, tan and glow. Very, very quick dry and easy to use. I did notice 1 use where it seemed to have worn off after 10 hours but every other time has been fine.

The bottle itself - I am not sure if is more eco friendly but the useability is not great. Every time I squeezed to get out product the bottle stayed crinkled up and it actually takes a while to get out of the lid. I think I will start using it without the nozzle/ lid and just squeezing straight onto the mitt, as Im worried the tan will just start coming out the side.

Tips: Use the mitt!!

Smells heavenly

Firstly, this is the most heavenly scented product I've ever used! It has a super dreamy tropical coconut scent so you can actually feel like you've been sunning yourself on a tropical island.

This bronzer comes in a pretty tube with no excess wasteful packaging. The product itself is quite thick, so you need to be careful it doesn't repell off your mitt if using one.

The bronzer has a brown tone so it gives a naturally tanned look, no orange! I have fairly pale skin and it gave a natural looking tan with a lovely super fine shimmer. The bronzer blended well with the Sugar Baby tanning mitt. It was forgiving for any mistakes, they blended out nicely.

I did get some colour transfer even having waited for it to dry first so I would recommend allowing plenty of drying time and being careful with clothing choices. It washed out OK for me, but it could be an issue for white fabrics.

The bronzer is a cruelty-free clean product so it's pretty unique as most others tend to be fairly chemical heavy. This is definitely a good option for someone avoiding harmful chemicals in their beauty products and I just have to mention that amazing scent one more time...

Coconut, coconut, coconut!

If you love anything coconut scented, then you'll love this bronzer! Made with organic coconut water and oil it smells just as good as it makes your skin feel. The formula was thicker than I had expected for a bronzing lotion, but this made it really easy to see any areas that needed any extra coverage. It dries super quickly and doesn't leave a sticky feel either, which is great if you are in a bit of a rush to head somewhere to show off your freshly bronzed skin. Being a wash off formula it's easy to remove in the shower, but this means it can smudge if you get a little sweaty. I also made the mistake of putting it on before bed one night and ended up with a light stain on my sheet, which unfortunately didn't completely come out in the wash. And yes, it WILL come off in chlorinated pools. So if you are heading to a pool and are wanting a little colour on your skin, I'd go for a tanner instead. I personally found the mica content was a little too high for my bronzing preference and the first time I decided to try an extra layer was just too much sparkle. But, even with a few cons, it'll still be my go-to for a quick instant bronzer. Especially since it's so moisturising and smells like a tropical holiday in the sunshine!

Tips: If you're after a deeper bronze without too much sparkle, I recommend using a light tanning product first, then follow up with a layer of Bronze Radiance.

Subtle, natural tan

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this bronzing cream by SugarBaby. I am naturally very pale, and I burn easily in the sun, so tanning is a no-go for me. So if I want to add a bit of colour to my body, it has to be from fake tanning products. I have used several fake tan products over the years, and I was interested to see how this would work out, especially as I have never used any products from SugarBaby before.

The SugarBaby Bronze Radiance Instant Glow Wash Off Bronzing Cream comes in a cream-coloured tube which stands on its lid. The tube says that the bronzing crème is “safe for sensitive skin” and that it is made in Australia. It also says on the tube that it contains “natural fragrance”, that it is “against animal testing” and that the product’s prime ingredient is organic coconut. It also states that it “Contains no parabens, no phthalate, no mineral oil, no formaldehyde, no sulphates, no synthetic fragrances, no animal ingredients.” The tube is 200ml.

The product itself is a shimmering bronze colour, which you squeeze out of the flip lid. The product is easy to apply, either with your hands, or with the SugarBaby tanning mitt. You need to wait until the product it is dry before dressing. The product dries quickly though, within five minutes of application. One drawback was that it did rub off a little on a light-coloured dress I wore after it had dried.

Because I am very pale, I find that a lot of tanning products look very dark or orange on me even if I do a very light application. This bronzing crème gives a very light and natural effect. It is about one degree darker than my natural skin tone, so it does not look like fake tan at all. It does not look orange either. It does not feel dry on my skin, and in fact has a moisturising effect. It does not have a fake-tan odour either, and it did not irritate my skin. It appears to wash off easily, without any scrubbing, as it seems to disappear in the shower the next day.

Altogether, if you are after some subtle, natural colour then this is a great fake tan for you. If you are after stronger colour that darkens your skin by several shades, then you will be disappointed by this. This is one of the better fake tan products that I have used. I would definitely consider using it again.

Tips: This fake tan does not contain any SPF, so use sunscreen in conjunction with this fake tanner if you plan to be out in the sun as well.
