I have. tried them all from extremely expensive to this one that has been the most cost effective and this one right here is by far the very best. This one beats all the competition in many categories.... cool of the developed tan comes on within an hour or to and looks sooooooo natural without the yucky speckles, streaks, smudges, and all that jazz, it just very even to the point you can't even tell yourself its not your real skin color. This one last wayyyyyyyyy longer than all the rest and on one application it lasts for a week and was still going strong, and I am very fair skinned. Now, there is the slight smell but not too strong and is gone once the guide is washed off. Also, the guide color does appear green, don't freak out, it changes within the hour and when you get a drop of water it doesn't ruin your whole tan. Once you rinse or wash off the guide your are still left with the same beautiful tan, all others loos over 40% of the color when the guide is washed off, but not this one.

This was the first self tanner i'd ever bought. I was really nervous about doing it right, not turning out orange and streaky and finding something that wouldn't be so dark people would immediately notice I was fake tan. I also needed something cheap and accessible and since this was at walmart for literally 10 bucks, and I'd seen reviews I got it. This was so incredibly easy to use. I have an olive skin tone too, and this comes out of the bottle green which scared me but it makes the tan look super natural. I left it on for 8 hours, because 1 is no where near long enough. honestly it's not as dark as they're making it out to be, in fact I want to get the darkest one next time because this just isn't dark enough. Im very pale but the color comes out so natural. I highly highly recommend this along with the glove they also sell. It does leave a fake tan smell tho, but after the first day its gone. if you're tanning the night before an event and want the smell gone by then, I usually will leave it on overnight, so a really long time, and then rinse with a little baby soap to get the main wet part off, then take a loofa and gently scrub with a scented body wash. Your tan won't be as dark, but it will definitely still be noticeable and you wont have the smell.
