I really had high hopes for this product- it has gotten so many good reviews everywhere. But, like countless other self tanners I've tried, it turned my skin - particularly my legs - what I would call a spiced pumpkin color. The pluses were that it absolutely did not streak or create hard edges where I may have not blended thoroughly, and that alone is rare. The smell wasn't bad and I think the price is reasonable for what you get as a little seemed to go a long way. But the color just isn't right. It's a bit more acceptable on my arms and chest; however I am embarrassed to show my legs with it on. And after exfoliating in the shower, a lot of "orange" came off on my white towels. My skin is naturally quite ghastly white with a reddish undertone, and I've become fairly convinced that I am always going to be out of luck when it comes to self tanners. When I asked a colleague her opinion of my "tan", she unabashedly said "you're orange".

I happen to really love this product. It does have an obvious smell to it, but to me, it reminds me of summer. However, if you don't like the fragrance, I find it disapates after a couple of hours.
The two bad things I'll say about it is yes, it's a little pricey and two, these days you can buy tanners with color already to them so you can see your mistakes - you don't get that with this. Having said that, it is the most natural look I've ever achieved while using any kind of fake tan. It's so much safer than going to a solarium (should be banned), and after a little practice, you'll get this right. Make sure to exfoliate well before using it and then moisturise. I find this gives me the best coverage and natural look. I really love this and highly recommend you give it a go. It won't go orange and you look great with it on.

I have tried many self tanners...never really liking any of them. From the recommendation of a friend I decided to buy this one with the thought that it would probably be just like the others....orange, splotchy, streaky, etc.
WOW...was I wrong!! I have used this three different times now..about two to three days apart from each other and it is WONDERFUL!!! No orange, no splotches, no streaks!!! It looks totally real and so beautiful on! It even lasts a long time..you don't have to apply it every day. I would highly recommend this product. Might be a little pricey but SO WORTH IT! If you have any hesitation...JUST BUY IT!!! You will not regret it!

It's gel, so it goes on clear. Pay attention to what you're doing because you won't be able to see where you missed till later. It's kind of sticky at first, but that goes away.
It smells, but that goes away pretty quickly too.
I'm have really fair skin, so I was really surprised at how tan this made me. Very tan - for about three days and then it started to turn orangish and fade away. (mostly from showering, swimming, shaving, etc.) But for the days I wanted it for a particular dress, it worked great.
I didn't wash one of my hands good enough, so had a bit of orange in the web part of left hand, but nothing to crazy noticable. I have lots of freckles and this didn't make them too dark and glaring, just slightly darker.
And it's expensive, but since it works so much better than other tanner's I've tried it's worth it to me.
It took about three hours before I noticed I was turning darker, and then by the evening it was perfect (for me at least). My friends are all trying it out now - I'll update if anyone feels differently than me.
