Other Options are Better
TheLacqueredLady (588 reviews)I purchased this product when it first arrived on the market and was not impressed. First, the product smells odd - like a combination of tea and chemicals. I found it to be quite watery, which made application difficult. Sometimes the tanner would work really well and other times it did nothing. It was very difficult to get off my hands and had an underlying shimmer that I did not care for. — 10 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Awful Tanner
BellezzaBeauty (64 reviews)I really dislike the smell (very chemically) and the formula streaks and is NOT easy to apply. — 1 year agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Love It!
mamalicious (196 reviews)I love this self tanner soooo much! The first time I heard about it was when I asked my mom what perfume she was wearing because she smelled so good. She laughed and told me it was self tanner. It comes out very liquidy, so a little goes a long way. It's tinted, so you can see where it goes. It dries super fast gives a great color. A few days ago my coworker asked me what lotion I was wearing because of the shimmer on my arms. Its really pretty! The ONLY reason I don't give it a 10 is because it does not moisturize at all, and its kind of a pain to wait for it to dry so you can apply moisturizer (I've worn it alone and my skin looks really dry and scaly). Overall, I definitely reccommend this product. I'm very happy with it. — 10 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful

7 Worst Self-Tanners -
Buy the other one..
candyisdandy (5 reviews)For a cheap drugstore tanner I usually grab the LOreal Sublime Glow but I accidentally grabbed this one (Sublime Bronze) because the store was out of the Glow and had filled the shelf with this one, I decided to give it a whirl and bought it. I do not recommend this self tanner to fair skinned people unless you want to walk around looking like a streaky oompa loompa and smelling like a toxic chemical concoction. This is one of my top 3 worst tanners ever. It smells awful, it is VERY liquidy so be careful when squeezing the bottle!, the end color is extremely unnatural and very prominent orange tinge not too mention it streaks like nobodies business! No matter how much i tried to even it out it was always streaky on my legs and arms (yes I exfoliated prior to). I am fair skinned and do not tan in the sun/tanning beds at all so I am ALWAYS on the lookout for the next best sunless tanner so I have tried almost all of them and this ranks as one of the worst for me. Buy the Sublime Glow instead. — 9 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Not bad
louisamarie (65 reviews)It looks great where I already have a light tan. However in my whitest areas (and I am really light) it doesn't look as natural. I like the sparkle. I like the tint, so I can see where it goes, but I still get a streak here and there. I think foams are easier, but as far as colors go, this isn't bad. And it smells less "sunless tan" than even my gradual tanner from Jergens. So I'm happy enough with it. — 11 months, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

loreal bronzer light use & dry
karla_thompsonintravia (1 reviews)iven using tis since lastyear. i dont geto hit the sun very often since i work in n office. when i first started using this i was nwand wasusing too much which left week long unwanted streaks..ifally found a happy medium and now i will put it on 3 days in a row, let my legs completely dry before putting on any clothes and im good to go for weeks! ithink the key is apply evenly, minimle amount, and let your legs dry all the way before pulling on clothes. i use my blow dryer! im light skinned so i i mess up you can really see it, but with this i look like i have a nice light tan to my legs — 1 year agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

DEFINATELY NOT CRAZY ABOU IT AT ALL! :(
jehneeh (4 reviews)SO I PURCHASED THIS ITEM SINCE I HAD SEEN MANY GOOD REVIEWS PEOPLE WROTE ABOUT THIS PRODUCT. I AM VERY DISPAPOINTED WITH THIS PRODUCT THOGH. MY SKIN IS MEDIUM TONE AND LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE SOMETIMES WE'RE UNEVEN, THE ARMS WILL BE DARKER THAN YOUR LEGS AND WELL I WANTED TO MAKE EVERYTHING EVEN. AS SOON AS I PUT SOME ON MY HAND THE LOTION IS A ORANE/BROWNISH COLOR. THE SMELL IS OK. WHEN I WAS APPLYING THIS "TAN LOTION" IT DIDNT FEEL LIKE A LOTION... IT DID DRY QUICKLY SO IT KIND OF LEFT ME STREAKY, WHEN I WAS APPLYING SOME BY THE TIME I GRABBED THE BOTTLE TO GET MORE TO APPLY MORE IT HAD ALREADY DRIED ON MY SKIN AND I DIDNT KNOW WHERE I WAS GOING TO APPLY. THE COLOR WAS OK UNTIL I WENT OUTSIDE IN THE SUN AND LOOKED AT THE PALM OF MY HANDS... THEY WERE ORANGE! IT WAS WAY TOO GLITTERY! IT LOOKED LIKE A FAKE CHEAP TAN. I LIKE SHIMMER! BUT IT WAS TOOO MUCH! I SUGGEST THE VICTORIAS SECRET CUSTOM ADJUSTABLE TAN LOTION WITH SHIMMER! IT ACTUALLY RUBS ON LIKE A LOTION AND IT DOESNT MAKE YOU ORANGE! IT SMELLS WAY BETTER AND IT LOOKS LIKE A NATURAL TAN WEHTER YOU WANT IT DARK OR JUST SUNKISSED LOOK. THIS PRODUCT MADE ALL OF ME ORANGE COLOR! — 1 year agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Bronzed and sparkling
shmemi (43 reviews)I'm still pretty new to this self-tanner business, but I like this product ok. On the plus side it's tinted so you can see where you're putting it, it makes my skin quite soft, and leaves a natural looking glow. As to be expected it has that distinct self-tanner smell, but I can live with that. Important to note however is that this stuff is PACKED with glitter particles. While the shimmer is nice and I like it, it's far from subtle and some will definitely be turned off by the fact that it's so sparkly. Second, it's a very thin, watery product, which means that when I try to put it on I usually end up pouring out more than I wanted, and sometimes it gets a little streaky because I just have so much product to rub in. All things considered though I quite like this, it gives a natural glow that lasts for a few days, it's fast acting, and it's never orange. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

does its job well!
beauty_girl_musings (129 reviews)i think this is perfect product to keep your summer glow going, but in a more subtle way. the formula dries quickly, leaves skin feeling soft, and allows you to decide the level of bronze you want to go. as far a s shimmer goes, it isn't too glittery, but you can tell that it's there, especially in the sun. the overall result looks golden brown without a hint of orange. — 2 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Amazing stuff!
logicalharmony (45 reviews)I've always been a huge fan of the Sublime Bronze line. No matter how many self tanners I try, I always end up going back to this line. I get the best and the most natural results without streaks. Everything that I loved about other products in the Sublime Bronze stands true with this product. Great, natural looking color, quick drying time, moisturizing formula, and no streaks. Plus, it left a great bronze shimmer on my skin instantly after application. This product definitely lived up to it's claims, and I loved that it doesn't smell like every other self tanner out there. Instead, it has a fruity scent. I would definitely recommend this product to others and will continue to use it in the future. — 2 years, 8 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
