During the Summer, if I make any effort to tan, I can get really golden brown. But this summer we have been so busy that I haven't been tanning. And the worst part about being so pale is that finding foundation that will match becomes impossible. And I knew with the Fall-time, it was only going to get worse!
So, I decided to try a Self-Tanner. I have only spray tanned once before my High School prom and it was a disaster! So needless to say, I was nervous. But I sent Dillon to Ulta to grab a highly recommended tanner. And he came back with Fake Bake Flawless. Which, luckily, came with a glove that I heard was great for application. So, I stripped down to my underwear, and a happy Dillon got to apply this tan.
Through many jokes, laughing, slipping and sliding, we finally got the tan applied! The spray goes on pretty thick and dark. So it is not a clear liquid that turns into tan, it comes out brown. Which I like because you can see where any uneven spots appear or missing areas. You then take the glove and buff it into your skin. You will see an immediate difference. You will become a sun-tanned goddess in a matter of seconds!
Then, once you get it all over your body, you let yourself dry. Which does not take long. I usually put a towel on the bed and and lay down for a minute or two, just to make sure I am dry. It is actually pretty relaxing. It applies PERFECTLY and gets a little darker after a couple hours. It is brown toned and not orange toned. Which is why I like it. No one wants to look like a crazy oompa loompa. And the tan is not that intense. I mean you can build it up over a couple days of application, but I just wanted a subtle glow. And it lasts a long time. I have only re-done it once a week just to make sure it doesn't fade too much. But within that week it fades about as much and as fast as a real tan does.
Things I would suggest: Do this early evening. It gets darker overtime so if you leave it over night and shower in the morning, you will have minimum issues. I would also suggest standing on a towel. The first time I did not do that and I ended up with ORANGE/BROWN feet! Because the mist of the spray would settle on the ground and I would stand it in unknowingly. So I ended up with some crazy feet! I would also suggest that if you can, get someone else to help you. I have short little T-Rex arms, so I would NEVER be able to get an even tan on my back. So luckily Dillon doesn't mind being my personal tanner!
So, bottom line, I would give this product an: A!
I would absolutely recommend it to others looking for a little extra boost!
Stay Beautiful!
