L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Tinted Self Tanning Lotion, Medium Natural Tan 5 fl. Oz

My all time favorite… Gives a beautiful warm bronze tan. No streaks . I apply the lotion with a make up brush .. Tan reveals to be as if I just came back from vacation. I use it on my face, my neck, my stomach, my legs and I always get a very beautiful color. It works best for me when I put it on and not shower for a couple of hours. I usually try to do it early in the morning just leave , run errands during the day and at night when I come home to shower, then I shower remove it. It gives you a longer lasting tan. I like to use it before going away to enhance my tan.

This might be my favorite self-tanner ever! It does a great job, even after one application. (Just be careful to wash off your hands immediately after applying.) I've used only on my legs so far. And I like the color - it's a nice deep tan color versus an orangey color that I've seen in other products. And it leaves a nice shimmer on your skin, too. And the odor is pleasant and bearable, not awful like some other self-tanners. Would (and have) definitely buy again!

This stuff is amazing. I love it. No streaking, pleasant smell and awesome color. I only used one layer and before an hour or so I had a beautiful glow of color. The shimmer wears off, really can’t notice it all that much. I also used on my face and neck. I am light to fair , I ordered the med.

I like the color it gives you off the bat and when it fades into your skin, the only thing I don’t like is that you get a little bit of glitter. But overall, it’s a very good self tanner. It seems to last a few days before needing new application.

Love this!! It’s a lotion base and goes on smoothly. I used latex gloves to apply so I didn’t have access leftover. It leaves a shimmer that shines bright in the sun!

I stroked with long movements over my legs. Wonderful results. I didn't do my ankles and top of my feet. Big mistake. Definitely cover those areas too or people can see the difference between an area tanned and one not. Really great product!

Is it just me, or are the Dark and Medium formulas actually the same, except the dark features a LOT more streaking?I LOVE this product. I crank through a tube a week. It’s long lasting and the color doesn’t make your skin look like it belongs to the 45th POTUS. ;) HOWEVER, the difference in results from the Med vs Dark formulation is striking (striping? Why am I a bronze zebra?)Yes, there’s also a little shimmer that Mariah Carey would enthusiastically approve, but it’s not so much that you look like you’re headed to a rave. It’s enough to make your skin look hydrated, and that 24K shimmer dissipates over time like so many Diva singing careers. (Not Mariah. She’s timeless, right?)The medium formula layers pretty nicely, if you need a touch-up. Like all bronzers with self-tan ingredients, apply evenly over freshly cleaned and exfoliated skin taking care to first lightly moisturize knees/elbows/feet/hands. (Lotioned-up hands will keep your palms from sucking up the bronzer before you wash it off. I mean, maybe spring for an application mitt. But they’re awkward and fall off, devour your expensive bronzer and fall apart after a month. Maybe find a good friend who isn’t judgey instead.)Since this tanner is also an instant bronzer - yay! Instant gratification! - you’ll be able to see where you’ve applied and where you might get streaky. (You’re probably naked and streaking as you do this anyway. It’s fine. The running naked in your house for about a minute is justifiable as bronzer needs a hot minute to dry before you get dressed. Carry on.)This doesn’t heavily transfer onto clothes the way most bronzer/self tanners will. If you sweat or swim, the bronzer will definitely melt away a bit and could get on clothing where it presses against the bronzer. It washes out easily in my experience. Don’t wear a white bikini in a hot tub tho’. (Do I need to even say that? That’s Adulting.) When you bathe after using this bronzer, you’ll notice a kind of slick film that washes off. (Is that what’s keeping it on my legs and off my clothes? It’s a mystery.)If you are an octopus or have otherwise contortionist-worthy arms, the slightly darker “dark” formula may apply more easily and with fewer streaks. If you have normal stick arms and a friend, the Medium formulation is a solid choice. It layers. It’s still bronze, gorgeous and will help with the illusion of perfectly even and glowy skin. It’s not as fun as a trip to Hawaii, but it’s also cheaper and doesn’t cause UV damage.Recommend.

This works well! I use it once a week to get a nice glow. I put it right on my skin or I mix it with moisturizer before applying. It’s better than expected and worth it!
