L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Tinted Self Tanning Lotion, Medium Natural Tan 5 fl. Oz

I HAVE BEEN USING THIS HIGH QUALITY L'OREAL .BRONZER FOR YEARS! FIRST OFF, I RECEIVE COMPLIMENTS ON MY BEAUTIFUL TAN WHILE ON VACATION. I NEVER TAN. I ONLY USE 70 SUNBLOCK. IT IS ALL THIE L'OREAL BRONZER & NO ONE CAN GUESS. FULL COVERAGE IS EASY WITH NO STREAKING. IT LASTS FOR DAYS, WITH SLIGHT REAPPLYING NEEDED PER WEEK. THE COLOR IS AUTHENTIC & IT HAS A SLIGHT SPARKLE. PEOPLE COMMENT, "YOUR SKIN IS SO SPARKLY. I LOVE THAT. WHAT IS IT". I NEVER USE BRONZER ON MY FACE SO CANNOT COMMENT ON THAT ASPECT. IF YOU WANT A SUNKISSED FACE, JUST USE A LITTLE POWDER DUSTING OF YOUR FAVORITE DRUGSTORE COLOR. THERE IS A SLIGHT ODOR TO THE BRONZER, BUT IT FADES IN MINUTES AFTER APPLYING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Love this stuff. Doesn’t look orange or fake.

Best leg tanner! I have been using this brand forever! If you know how to use self tanner this product works great. It does have a sparkle the first day so if that bothers you make sure your applying it before bed. I don't care so I'll put it on in the morning after a Shower. I only use tanner like this on my legs. They also make a spray that I use in the summer on the rest of my body lightly so I don't look so pale. As far as the smell of a tanner , it has that smell the first day or two. I think they all have it, this one isn't too bad.. it depends on how often you put it on.

Very natural looking tan. I could smell it, but no one else said they could.

I used this for years & have tried every other brand from $4-$120 and this still is my gold standard. The Medium is a good shape for fair skin if you want a relatively dark believable natural looking Mediterranean vacation tan that takes about 3 hours to develop with one thorough application. It give a brown bronze color without any orange undertones and fades gradually over about 5 days. I reapply every 3rd day & after shaving. The Deep is what I use in summer (I have light Irish skin in Texas so I burn in the sun but this gives me a dark tan that looks like a 20year-old’s surfer tan without the UV price later on. I apply a lighter lotion to my hands first (Jergens daily light tan lotion just to go over elbows/wrists ankles as well and to make washing hands easier after application). Then apply top to bottom neck, arms mid then legs just after shower/towel dry while skin is smooth and not patched. Make sure you rub in well, applying enough to cover but not overdone, so no streaks. I use the spray version of this on my back & hard to reach spots. Wash hands well Let dry about 5 mins and make sure you covered evenly or blended well so it’s not striped or obvious. The color can get dark with layering so make sure you blend well at wrists, neck ankles feet etc. The Med and Deep do give quite a significant color, so if you want very light, I use the Jergens Daily and this only where I want the darker color. it’s a great value, tube lasts me 2-3 months & you don’t have to use a lot each application, can layer and as long as you was hands well & blend it won’t look fake.

I just feel so much better about myself with a tan so I bought this to try. I already had a mitt so I just jumped right in, even applying it to my face. Came out beautifully and the glimmer makes me love it even more. I do use a little less around my knees and elbows and wash my hands when I'm done but that's it. I am NOT a huge girlie girl so wasn't sure if I would be all streaky or orange or turn my clothes colors but this was a beginners dream. I think the mitt makes it much more even and easy to use. It's my go to now and I doubt I will stop using it. I shower and use my loofah then either apply some lotion (if I feel like my skin is dry) or just put this on directly. Try it! You pretty much can't screw it up and you will feel like a princess. I don't review a lot of things but the L'Oreal sublime bronzer is fabulous so I felt like I needed to let beginners know to just go ahead and try this. Get a mitt to use too!

Is it just me, or are the Dark and Medium formulas actually the same, except the dark features a LOT more streaking? I LOVE this product. I crank through a tube a week. It’s long lasting and the color doesn’t make your skin look like it belongs to the 45th POTUS. ;) HOWEVER, the difference in results from the Med vs Dark formulation is striking (striping? Why am I a bronze zebra?) Yes, there’s also a little shimmer that Mariah Carey would enthusiastically approve, but it’s not so much that you look like you’re headed to a rave. It’s enough to make your skin look hydrated, and that 24K shimmer dissipates over time like so many Diva singing careers. (Not Mariah. She’s timeless, right?) The medium formula layers pretty nicely, if you need a touch-up. Like all bronzers with self-tan ingredients, apply evenly over freshly cleaned and exfoliated skin taking care to first lightly moisturize knees/elbows/feet/hands. (Lotioned-up hands will keep your palms from sucking up the bronzer before you wash it off. I mean, maybe spring for an application mitt. But they’re awkward and fall off, devour your expensive bronzer and fall apart after a month. Maybe find a good friend who isn’t judgey instead.) Since this tanner is also an instant bronzer - yay! Instant gratification! - you’ll be able to see where you’ve applied and where you might get streaky. (You’re probably naked and streaking as you do this anyway. It’s fine. The running naked in your house for about a minute is justifiable as bronzer needs a hot minute to dry before you get dressed. Carry on.) This doesn’t heavily transfer onto clothes the way most bronzer/self tanners will. If you sweat or swim, the bronzer will definitely melt away a bit and could get on clothing where it presses against the bronzer. It washes out easily in my experience. Don’t wear a white bikini in a hot tub tho’. (Do I need to even say that? That’s Adulting.) When you bathe after using this bronzer, you’ll notice a kind of slick film that washes off. (Is that what’s keeping it on my legs and off my clothes? It’s a mystery.) If you are an octopus or have otherwise contortionist-worthy arms, the slightly darker “dark” formula may apply more easily and with fewer streaks. If you have normal stick arms and a friend, the Medium formulation is a solid choice. It layers. It’s still bronze, gorgeous and will help with the illusion of perfectly even and glowy skin. It’s not as fun as a trip to Hawaii, but it’s also cheaper and doesn’t cause UV damage. Recommend.

always was amazing

I love this product and do recommend I’ve been using this for years looks real, feels nice on the skin, colour is nice and even!!!!

I brought this product a long time a go, and I just realise that it is a good bronze fluid ounce and I mean I go a dark skin, but it has absolitly suite my skin tone by giving me a brown colour on so I like it, I am gona order some more.

Second time of ordering this product, it’s good and goes on easily, shame they stopped making the jel variety though, as that was really good. But this does what it says it does, nice colour as well and no streaks. Would recommend.

Too fluid so impossible to apply. Makes a big mess in the bathroom
