SugarBaby Get Glowing Glow Drops

I’m no stranger to self tanning products, from the infamous all over orange shades from the early 2000’s to the enormous variety of gels, creams, foams and drops on the market today.

I used to use SugarBaby tanning products back in the 2010’s era and I loved them, so I was very excited to see them making a comeback with updated formulas & very cute packaging! I’ve used tanning drops once before but I wasn’t a huge fan (Bondi Sands) simply because they didn’t mix well with the skincare products I use. Thankfully I didn’t have that issue with SugarBaby!

For reference I have fair skin, prone to redness, oily t-zone but also dehydrated. I do not tan naturally (I’m a burner) and my skin can appear quite blue even when I’m not cold.

For skincare I use La Roche Posay products and a few Korean Beauty items. On the body I use Nivea Coco Lotion. These drops blend perfectly with all.

Now onto the product itself. It has a viscous serum like consistency and isn’t sticky at all. If you were to use it on its own, it would blend very very smoothly, but I’m not brave enough to do that so I mix it with my moisturiser at the end of my skincare routine. The first night that I used it I woke up with a very subtle glow which was more than enough for me over autumn, but to test the product properly I continued with the application each night after my shower.

There is no hint of orange and the tan appears very even and also helps to counteract the redness that I sometimes experience throughout the day. A little goes along way which is amazing and you really do only need a few drops for the face. As somebody with sensitive skin who has reacted poorly to some tanning products in the past, it’s always a bit nerve wrecking testing out a new one because I never know which products I’m going to react to. Thankfully, I didn’t react at all to this product and I noticed absolutely zero sensitivity on any part of my body.

Overall, I’m really impressed with the sugar baby tanning drops and I will continue to use them and will more than likely re-purchase once this bottle runs out!

The first thing that hit me with this product was the smell, it’s Devine! A beautiful coconut scent. The product itself it’s very easy to apply and a few drops went a long way. Mixed with moisturiser I found was making it too thin but I applied over my moisturiser and this worked well. It feels hydrating and luxurious to apply. As i don’t have much of a tan right now I used this in places I would usually highlight/bronze and then spread over my face from there. I found it had added a subtle glow to my face without being too much. A nice healthy glow rather than a fake tan look. I will continue to use this going forward every few days to keep the glow ups

This sugar baby product is incredible for a little bit of a sunkissed glow without using fake tan. Super helpful for a busy time poor mum. It’s so easy to use putting 2-3 drops in with my moisturiser every couple of days to keep up the glowy look. The coconut really helps keep the skin hydrated and the skin does not dry out with this product.

I was quite excited to try these drops as after winter, my skin looked pale and tired and needed a bit of a boost. Comes in a handy wee bottle that can easily fit into your toilet bag when travelling. It has a hint of the self tan smell combined with coconut. Very easy to use, I have just been adding a couple of drops to my serum in the mornings. Goes on really easily and does actually make your face look healthier and glowing.. Don't use too many drops as I did on the first day as the more drops, the darker the tan. You don't want it contrasting too much with the rest of your body. I have also been adding to my body moisturiser in the mornings and have noticed my skin has a definite tanned look. Would use again, I notice when I don't use it my skin doesn't look as even.

I've used various types of self-tanning products in the past - spray, oil, mousse, cream, lotion, and gradual tanning lotions - but this product has got to be one of the most disappointing.

The first time I used it, I shaved, moisturised, and then applied three drops into the palm of one hand, rubbed my hands together and applied it to one leg, repeating on the other side. I went to bed, hoping to wake up with glowing skin. It did not happen. I got up the next morning and my legs looked exactly the same as they had before.

I have fair skin, very fair skin, so even one application of a gradual tanning moisturiser usually makes it look like I have a tan. My husband even asked if I'd forgotten to apply the drops the night before. I tried again, this time using four drops per leg, but adding it to to the moisturiser before applying it to my legs. I woke up the next morning with the faintest hint of colour.

I tried a third time, this time moisturising before applying six drops to each leg. Six drops should make a big difference, or so I thought. Not really. I have a very faded looking tan.

To be honest, I get a better colour payoff with a gradual tanning lotion with the same application. I'm starting to wonder how many drops of this product I'd have to use on my legs to look like I have a tan with each application? 16? 20? 26? And as $27 per 40ml bottle, it could start getting expensive.

I definitely won't be purchasing this product in future, and would not recommend it.

I was excited to review the SugarBaby Get Glowing Glow Drops as it sounded like a relatively effortless way to get a glowing, lightly tanned complexion.

I decided to trial the drops on my face to start with. The application was easy due to the dropper bottle and I mixed 4 drops with my night time facial moisturising mask. The scent was pleasant, and the product absorbed well due to its light texture.

The next morning I awoke to a self tanned and radiant skin, it looked a little darker than I anticipated which means that next time I will use only 1-2 drops for my face. Great that it is highly concentrated, as it makes the product good value due to the bottle lasting for longer. I would recommend these for an easy way to self tan the face as the drops can be mixed with your regular cream or serums.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but these really didn't do much for me at all. I've tried both ways suggested - both mixed with moisturiser, and on their own - and seen very little result. Even when I did see results (after using on their own 3 days in a row), the glow very soon washed off! I was really looking forward to this one, so am pretty gutted that it just didn't do that trick for me. Consistency of the product is great, it takes up much less space than the traditional self-tan tubes and pump bottles, and the smell is less intense than other products I've tried - but alas, the results are also less intense :-( I'm quite pale so I expected even a little tint would be a difference, but I'm just not seeing it! Surely a faulty batch?!

I'm on the fence about Sugar Baby Glow Drops. I used this 2 times during the trial period. The first time I mixed 3 drops with my face serum. Was easy to mix and apply, initial smell was a lovely light coconut scent but a couple of hours later all I could smell was that awful fake tan smell! It lingered for hours and even the next day! I couldn't wait to wash my face. Second time I mixed 5 drops as the colour was not overly noticeable on my pale skin but it ended up being the same result as the initial try. I would really like to say I loved it but I just didn't. I think I prefer the proper self tanning foam that gets washed off hours later and you're good to go.
