Trilogy bronzing gel

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.

gorgeous golden glow

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 :)

Trilogy Instant Bronzing Gel

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.

No glove needed but you will need to rinse your hands well to wash away the shimmery residue. I've found it less staining than other products.

Do you need to wear a glove when applying this? or is there no issue with it staining your hands?

Great natural bronzer!

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! :)

Impressed :o)

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)

Nothing to Fault

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.

Tips: There is no need to moisturise before applying this gel, I didn't and it had an even look to it as if I had.

A must if you want a healthy glow!!

I LOVE this product!! Two days before an event/occasion I apply this gel to my legs in the morning. The next day after a morning shower I apply again and wow my legs are noticeably tanner and very healthy looking! The price is a bit much but then I am on a budget however it can last a long time and it is totally worth it!

Tips: A little goes a long way!

Trilogy Instant Bronzing Gel

I had received this from one of my Sample Bar boxes. I have used this many times during the summer time and really enjoyed the finish. I have had many bad false tanned legs in the past but this didn't come out at all orange or streaky. I do dislike the smell in the tube though but it doesn't smell the same on your legs which is the main thing. I find it goes on smooth, isn't sticky and absorbs fast. I would definitely repurchase this product due to it being easier than tanning sprays.

Tips: Definitely exfoliate and shave your legs the night before using this tanning gel. And I would suggest doing this during the day time.

Gorgeous smell and color

I love this product because it's easy to use, doesn't come out streaky and looks totally natural. After applying the gel instantly your skin shimmers and looks great. The smell is divine and you don't even know it is on your skin. I totally recommend it to anyone wanting a light feeling, easy to apply, natural shimmering color.
