Tarte Brazilliance Maracuja self tanner with mitt 5.5 oz

This is the best self tanner I've used. You have to be careful applying it but you apply just like body lotion. It is dark brown in color so you can see it when you're putting it on. The mitt is a must have to apply it right. It dries quickly - within 5-10 minutes you're able to get dressed. After I'm done, I wash the mit with a dab of shampoo so it's clean and ready to reuse. It is pricey but you get what you pay for!

The only self tanner I will use. Natural ingredients, natural color, no harsh smells (I personally think it smells like a day at the beach) shows color pretty quickly, easy application, no streaking, natural glow, no turning orange. Wears for a while too! I’ve used this for years now and will continue to as long as I can still find it!

Does not work. Showed no color

This stuff comes out of the container as a dark, dark brown, almost black color. Don't let that alarm you.I can't say I'm a big fan of the mitten though. It's hard to keep it on my hand and maintain control. I wish they'd make similar, smaller mittens that actually stay on my hand.I didn't notice a smell when I applied it this morning, but I definitely have the funky fake-bake smell now. It doesn't bother me too much but it might be a deal breaker for someone else.It's definitely a little expensive but it's cheaper and way less damaging than using a tanning bed like I used to on a daily basis.I will definitely purchase again.

Does streak! Takes practice!Update! the streaks mostly wash off ... does take practice but works better than I originally thought. So, upgrading to four stars
