Editor Review

Rated a 8.5

Though geared toward teens, Sugar Tropic Tan isn't as adolescent as it looks. Sans brush and inconveniently large (almost compact disc-sized), the mirrored compact may not seem worth $25 at first. But one application lasts all day and one purchase, all year. Available only in Sunkissed Bronze, the buildable, pressed powder highlights with a super-fine shimmer and can "tan" lighter skin up to two shades without looking too orange. Color is richer than that of Physicians Formula, but it's no substitute for self tanner on body. (Tip: Avoid patchiness with one of these.)

    A+

    by arrow09 (25 reviews)
    this bronzer is great! one sweep over your face results in instant beach glow, minus the sun and the beach. it looks pretty natural if you are careful applying, but you can easily over do it (so if you're into that kind of thing- jersey girls- this is for you). There is a huge mirror on the inside of the compact which is he...lpful for any type of makeup application. also i use this product all over and it quickly makes legs and chest areas look like you haven't been inside for the past 6 months. <3 this November 27, 2007, 9:07 am

    TROPICAL TAN IN A COMPACT?????

    by lmlturbo (29 reviews)
    Trusted Review
    THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL SUNLESS TANNERS AVAILABLE. I WAS LEAD TO THIS PRODUCT BY AN ASSOCIATTE, ASSURING ME THAT WITH A BUKU BRUSH I COULD APPLY AN ALL OVER EVEN TAN. WELL, FIRST THIS IS ONE SHADE ONLY. TOO DARK FOR FAIR SKINNED LADIES LIKE MYSELF. IT HAS SHIMMER TO IT, WHICH ADDS TO THE UNREALISTIC LOO...K. VERY DISSAPOINTED THAT I PURCHASED THIS ALONG WITH A 30.00 BRUSH ONLY BECAUSE THE ASSOCIATE ASSURED ME A TROPICAL TAN FROM A COMPACT. I SHOULD OF JUST THOUGHT ABOUT THE CONCEPT. THIS IS ONE SUGAR THAT IS NOT SO SWEET!! May 14, 2008, 12:52 am

    Worth the money

    by byebyejekki (1 review)
    For $25, this is a great value. It is not muddy looking or too shimmery. It lasts all day for me at work (I have a very physical job in a building with absolutely no airflow). I bought this the summer of 2006 and I am just about to hit pan. I use it on my face and chest. I will definitely buy it again! December 18, 2008, 5:59 am

    Tannerific

    by robidi (6 reviews)
    This bronzer gives a subtle, healthy glow to your skin. It has a matte finish, but it doesn't have that "muddy" effect that so many bronzers have. It looks like you have a hint of natural color. November 28, 2007, 3:01 pm

    Sugar Cosmetics Tropic Tan

    by bluznshuz (10 reviews)
    Love this one too, they actually have two different shades to choose from, one has a little bit more pink, the other little bit peachier. Wears very well, buildable coverage. Huge compact too, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. Don't pass it buy just cause it's geared for the tweens. August 23, 2009, 2:10 pm

    Great bronzer

    by helloo (10 reviews)
    I've used up two of these compacts (which took me quite a while) and have always been very happy with this product. Lately I've had a hard time finding it, which is a shame since this is my go-to bronzer when I want a natural looking glow. April 14, 2009, 9:28 am

    Best bronzer I've ever used

    by annelise (75 reviews)
    Top 500 Reviewer
    This bronzer is PERFECT. It is expensive, but it is VERY worth it. I bought it a couple years ago and I keep going back. It gives my skin the perfect glow and it's all the face makeup that I have to apply. I love the subtle shimmer it gives. The only problem is it's huge and I've broken each of mine by dropping them. ...So watch out... one drop and the powder goes EVERYWHERE. Yikes! Therefore, I'm docking it a star (maybe it's just my fault) for not holding up too well. April 1, 2009, 1:42 pm

    Best Bronzer For Me!

    by Free2RunBon (1 review)
    Tropic Tan is natural, even and goes on well. It is especially natural if you add a bit of blush on your cheeks after smoothly applying the bronzer. I have tried many different bronzers and definitely have found the one that makes me look like I have been to the beach! I know I have been successful when my 29 year old son ...tells me that I'm really tan and asks if it's healthy to be out in the sun so much! August 24, 2008, 7:32 pm

    HG

    by RachelleP (1 review)
    The BEST I have tried, even better than Nars Laguna Bronzer!! A little expensive, yes, but it is worth the money. I have recently hit the pan on this product and am looking forward to repurchasing this! Why it is so special? I love the packaging, the texture, and the COLOR. Not orange at all. It is perfect. I contour w...ith this all the time and its great for that(not enough shimmer to take away from the effect). A great buy, blends easily too. June 19, 2008, 11:50 am
