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 product has an interesting scent, its defiantly a fake tan smell, but also mixed with something else, it is not unpleasant though. It leaves a nice tan on the skin, it does get patchy over time though. The Gel formula is easy to apply, and doesn't stay sticky for long. However I cannot say that I have finished the tube though because the shimmer is so intense, so much gold glitter. I do love glitter, but in a fake tan, all over the legs its a little bit much.
Tips: If you love glitter in a fake tan, you will love this!
I am really on the fence with this product. I loved the smell - it was really nice to have a product that didn't stink after applying and I also loved the shimmer in it! It was super easy to apply being a crème (I used my tanning mitt) You did need a fair amount of product to do your entire body and I don't think the bottle would last more than 3 or 4 applications. It is also designed to be built up over a few days - because I tan 2 or so times a week I found this to be a bit time consuming. The colour had a bit too much orange for me as well. Due to the light colour with each application and the ease of applying I would totally recommend it for first time tanners :D
Tips: Applying daily has built up a darker colour on my skin (not super dark) use a tanning mitt for an easy application and stain free hands!
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.
