A new summer staple
At first I didn’t love this, I was being a hit lazy and applying it with my hands rather than a mitt and the tan was not even. However I’ve moved to applying it with a mitt and it’s made a huge difference - the tan goes on evenly and the colour builds really nicely. I’ll use it every other day to build the colour and it’s got a good undertone for me (I have super pale skin in winter) that feels natural and not orange at all. I make sure to put another moisturiser on my elbows, knees and ankles before I apply. I’ll keep using this and repurchase too.

Winner
Amazing natural tan (I have pale caucasian skin), and one of the best textures you can find in a tanning cream. Minus one star for the fake tan smell.

My new go-to
Great product! I'm fair-skinned and one application gave me a lovely light tan. I followed the instructions making sure I did the circle movements when applying. Bit of a biscuit smell but nothing compared to other products I've used. Definitely will buy again!

Smells like raspberries
It really does! That's the first thing that struck me: wow, it doesn't smell nasty or sickly sweet like some of my other tanners. The juicy sour notes of raspberry actually mask the "fake tan" smell very well, it's barely noticeable, very faint. The tan is subtle, as it should be. Not orange at all (pale olive approved!).

Not better, not worse, than your average self tan
This is by no means a bad product. But it's also not something I would go out and recommend to my friends. Positives: nice colour, not too orange after one application. Application is pleasant. Negatives: smells just like any other self tan, it just takes a bit longer before the smell develops, but it's there and it's awful. It is definitely streaky. So, all in all, nothing to rave about.

Tax Luxe
The best I’ve used. It does take around 12 hours for full effect. Very nice olive, natural looking colour. Worth the hefty-ish price tag!

Long lasting and effective
With our unpredictable summer, you don't know whether the sun is going to top up your tan. Better to have some of this in your drawer for when you need it. It is easy to apply - I don't use a mitt and have never had streaks. The colour begins to show quickly which is great and it's never been orange on my skin. And it lasts for AGES - I think I bought my bottle at least two years ago!

Golden Glow
Even though this is a gradual tanner i still apply with a mitt as i think it can catch on ankles. it gives more colour than most gradual tans and is a really nice shade, not too orange. I prefer the tan luxe butter as it a bit richer, however this is better for the day as it isn't to thick.

Golden Goddess Worthy
Very easy to apply, no streaks and smells great. After just one application I looked like I had been on the beach all day, and after two applications I was looking like a golden goddess. I also bought the Tan Luxe water but I’m not sure if I need it now...

Almost perfect
This is such a good tan and works in very little time. I personally don’t enjoy the fake tanning process so this is a great alternative. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because, even though there were no streaks etc, on me the colour turned out really orange even after one application. I would say this is a great product but you have to take caution with how much you apply as the colour is not too gradual in developing - I found I only needed to apply it once or twice a week or otherwise I looked awfully orange.
