Benefit jiffy tan

Average member rating of 8.0
Average member rating
Rated a 6.5
The good: Benefit Jiffy Tan gives you a real-looking tan. And it lends a bit of gold sparkle without making you look like you have a glitter disease. There's virtually no smell -- hard to find in a self-tanner (though this isn't one). It dries quickly and doesn't streak, but wash your hands immediately after applying or you'll have stained palms. The bad: It claims it's a body lotion, yet doesn't moisturize whatsoever so apply one beforehand. The ugly: It costs $26.

      Good product, hard to find!

Maybe it was out of stock at the time... But this color was perfect for my skin, lasted a long time, had a really fun golden sparkle to it (which every one might not like, but it was not large glitter), and smelled really nice. It also did not rub off on my clothes... so that it a MAJOR plus! The only down side is the cost... but the product is still worth it! February 21, 2008, 7:04 am

      Self tanner for the committment-phobic

      by talk2uranalyst (124 reviews)
      Works instantly (no waiting 2-24hours for the color to appear) and absorbs fairly well. Be careful in the first 10-15minutes though because it will stain your clothes. The color is comes off in the shower which may be desirable or may be annoying, depending on your situation. May 29, 2008, 3:45 pm

      Nice bronzer with a bit of shimmer

      by Leslie888 (12 reviews)
      This is what I use on my legs when I haven't touched up my sunless tanner, my legs are gotten a little pale, and I'm in a hurry and need some color quickly. There's no smell (this is a good thing!), and the temporary "tan" it provides is a nice brown color with just a hint of shimmer. Another plus is that it can... July 18, 2008, 7:30 am This is what I use on my legs when I haven't touched up my sunless tanner, my legs are gotten a little pale, and I'm in a hurry and need some color quickly. There's no smell (this is a good thing!), and the temporary "tan" it provides is a nice brown color with just a hint of shimmer. Another plus is that it can be washed off easily if you mess up the application since it's just a bronzer. The only downside is that's a bit pricy, which is why I gave this 9 stars instead of 10. I got mine a couple of years ago and I don't remember how much I paid for it, but I remember it wasn't the cheapest bronzer in the world. July 18, 2008, 7:30 am

      PROVIDES A MORE NATURAL TANNED LOOK THAN SELF-TANNERS

      by KAYLYNERANO (5 reviews)
      I AM A VERY FAIR-SKINNED PERSON THAT HAS FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO GET A NATURAL LOOKING COLOR WITH SELF TANNERS. WHEN I TRIED JIFFY TAN I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW EASY IT WAS TO APPLY AND IT DID NOT LOOK FAKE AT ALL. THE SMELL IS AWESOME TOO! THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS THAT IT DOES STAIN THE PALMS FAIRLY EASILY. COLOR DOES NOT RUB OR... June 9, 2008, 1:28 pm I AM A VERY FAIR-SKINNED PERSON THAT HAS FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO GET A NATURAL LOOKING COLOR WITH SELF TANNERS. WHEN I TRIED JIFFY TAN I WAS SURPRISED AT HOW EASY IT WAS TO APPLY AND IT DID NOT LOOK FAKE AT ALL. THE SMELL IS AWESOME TOO! THE ONLY DRAWBACK IS THAT IT DOES STAIN THE PALMS FAIRLY EASILY. COLOR DOES NOT RUB OR FLAKE OFF LIKE SELF-TANNING LOTIONS. PRICE IS PRETTY HIGH SO I LIKE TO USE IT ONLY ONCE IN AWHILE. June 9, 2008, 1:28 pm
