Trilogy Instant Bronzing Gel

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

So before trialing this, I had never used a tinted gel before. It was a bonus being able to see where to put it! It smelt divine but the second day it smelt more like tan. The immediate effect was gorgeous tbough...not too overwhelming on the colour but also had a nice golden shimmer through it so you didnt have to wait for results as the shimmer effect was instant. At the same time, I did feel though the next day the shimmer made the skin appear slightly patchy. All in all,I did like it and I got heaps of compliments on my tan but I am on the fence about whether or not I would re-purchase.

This self tanner is different from others I've tried as it leaves a very subtle sparkly shimmer on the skin. It has a thin consistency and a tint which makes it easy to apply as you can see where you've applied it. I found it produced a good colour that looked natural and it dried quickly on application. The smell was also minimal which I prefer to other self tanners which often has a strong odour. My only reservation is the price- slightly more than I would tend to pay. Despite this I loved the product and would recommend it to friends.

I like this is as a gradual tanner coming up to an event but I don't know if i would use it day-to-day, it is quite shimmery. It is nice on sensitive skin though and shows up quite well, although it's definitely a gradual tan, as a few times I put it on in the morning and it hadn't started to show up until the afternoon

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

I'm quite pale so am always a bit nervous about trying fake tans as a lot of them tend to make me look orange but Trilogy Instant Bronzing Gel worked a treat! The gel was easy to apply and the bronzer aspect meant that I didnt miss any spots and had an instant shimmery glow. Being able to build up the tan over a couple of days was great as well as it meant that I was able to achieve a light tan to start and go darker if I wanted instead of going straight to a colour that might not have been right! I also found it smelt better than a lot of products I've tried - a more natural caramely/ coffee scent mixed in with the usual fake tan smell. Overall, very impressed and will be purchasing more of this product for Summer :o)

I was quite excited when I found out I was trialing Trilogy's Instant Bronzing Gel. The only other trilogy product I had tried was the Everything Balm and it lived up to its expectation, so this product had high expectations. When I applied the gel, it went on evenly and had a slight shimmer and a caramel tint to it. This acted as a guide as to where I had already applied, which I thought was fantastic as I'm not a fan of the blotchy tan look. I smell was very strong and even after I had rolled my sleeves back down, I could smell it but luckily it had a pleasant coconut, caramel fragrance. After day 1, I could see the colour coming through on my skin and applied another coat. After day 2, it looked as though it was summer and my skin had a natural tan to it. I applied it for a 3rd day and was very impressed to see the results, as my skin looked exactly the same tone as the end of summer and very natural looking. I feel like this gel works well for fair skinned ladies, as it is not a very dark shade but complimented my skin perfectly. The wear-off was as pleasant as the application. I thought that it may have come off blotchy, but not a single patch was spotted. The tan was very gradual at wearing off and looked natural everyday. The only thing I can fault with this product is that the lid didn't seem to 'click' shut as normal beauty products do, but now I think about it, it may be a clever design so that it is easy to open up again if you have applied some tan, need more and your hands are slippery. It wasn't really a problem for me anyway as the bottle stands upside down, so the weight of the product helps keep the lid shut.
