b.tan Violet Base Self Tanner Mousse | Love At First Tan - Best, 1 Hour Express Sunless Tanning Foam, Cancels Orange Tones, Dark Bronzing Glow, No Fake Tan Smell, Face & Body, 6.7 Fl Oz

I originally bought this to use on my face and paired it with the b.tan tanning foam for my body. Funny enough, I ended up using this mist on my body too! I actually liked the color it gave me better than the foam, and it's so much easier to apply. Just spray it on and you're done—no tanning mitts, no worrying about streaks, and no extra cleanup.It did develop a little darker than I expected, but in the best way. It looked like a real tan, not an over-the-top "bodybuilder competition" tan. The color was even, natural-looking, and faded nicely over time.I've tried a lot of facial self-tanners over the years, and this is easily one of my favorites. The clear mist dries quickly, doesn't leave my skin feeling sticky, and has a much lighter scent than most self-tanners. I also have sensitive skin and was worried it might make me break out, but I didn't experience any irritation at all.Whether you're using it on your face as intended or, like me, on your body too, this stuff gives a beautiful sun-kissed glow with hardly any effort. I'll definitely be repurchasing it!

I have fair skin, this gets me dark. I do two to three coats. I’ll probably buy the darkest color when I reorder as I have the second to darkest. I leave it on all day. Then wash it off the next morning. By the time I shower any color that comes off is very minimal- just the color guide which is a slightly gray tint. I end up coming out of the shower as dark as I was going into the shower, just with a beautiful brown color minus the slight gray hue. I, like many here, have used almost every self tanner on the market. This stuff is cheap and gives you a deep, dark tan, what more could you ask for? The color doesn’t settle right away so you can check it out once done in one area and you have time to even it out if you need to. I never have streaks or am blotchy. Just be sure to properly prep your skin, this is the key to an even, beautiful tan. If you’re a beginner do your research, or read the pro tips below. I wish someone had given me these tips before I first started on my self-tanning journey. Here is how I prep and how I keep my tan lasting as long as possible.- Start exfoliating two to three days prior to tanning. (Here’s why this first step is MOST important: If you just exfoliate once, you’re going to get a bunch of dead skin cells off, but you’re not going to get everything off. When you tan dead skin cells, those dead skin cells are going to eventually shed themselves not at the same time as the other skin cells, and so you’ll left looking patchy or spotty. I use Indie Lee’s ‘Coconut Citrus Body Scrub,’ but any salt or sugar scrub you like will do. If you have dry skin, use a moisturizing body scrub as exfoliating can be abrasive and remove moisture.- Remove hair the day before with an epilator or by waxing, something long term so you don’t have to shave your color off. If you must shave, shave the day of tanning when you shower, not the day before.- Shower the day of tanning- but WAIT to tan. You want your skin to be clean when you apply your self-tanner, but you should wait a little bit post-shower to slather on tanner. When you get out of the shower, your skin is more absorptive and the self-tanner or the bronzer [can] seep into your pores, which can leave you with a speckled appearance, almost looks like blackheads or freckles. **If you're in a hurry to apply, you can run ice cold water over skin for 15 seconds to prevent seepage, but your skin should be completely dry before applying tanner to prevent uneven application.- Protect your hands and feet, apply a fragrance free moisturizer because if you don’t they will be orange. Go for a non-oily moisturizer that absorbs quickly. Make sure whatever you use even if it’s something you have to use in a bind, that it COMPLETELY absorbs into skin first. For dry skin do two coats. I VERY lightly apply moisturizer to knees and elbows and lightly apply tanner on these areas as well.- Use a tanning mitt, for small areas like feet you can use a make up brush, it works just as well as a tanning brush- trust me I’ve used both. Doing this ensures a subtle tan in those areas also. I use one for my face also, and blend it into my hairline in circular motions.- Work from the feet up. Your body creases and so will your tanner if you don’t.- If you forget to pick up a sling tanner for your back, use a spatula and put it in your mitt. (Don’t judge 😂)- WASH HANDA IMMEDIATELY AFTER. Use a makeup brush to blend the areas around your hands and wrists so that you don't finish with a line.- To preserve your self-tan for as long as possible, take lukewarm showers. Once you get out of the shower, be sure to pat yourself dry instead of rubbing and always moisturize. If you need to wear something tight like a sports bra, apply talc-free baby powder onto your skin before you wear it to make sure your tan stays glowing.To keep up with your tan for as long as possible be sure to use these showering tips towards the bottom. When you remove hair try a cream hair remover, avoid shaving if you’re gonna keep up the tan. Reapply as needed, every few days should do the trick.

I'm on my 4th can of this self tanner, and b.tan is the brand I know I can count on. I'm on the sunny side of 70 with pale skin and this mousse gives me great, long lasting color with little effort. I find the foam easy to apply - with a mitt - and it gives me a streak free finish. There is little to no odor that dissipates quickly. The color is even, not splotchy, and is a great tone that pulls neither orange or green on my skin. I apply in the morning, give it 15 minutes to dry down, then dress and have not had any issues with transfer to clothing. The color emerges through the day and leaves a nice, dark tan, that lasts 3-5 days, making me less self conscious baring my legs in public. Quick, easy, inexpensive and works well!

I was prepared to hate this product, but WOW, just wow. It is fantastic and I will definitely be buying it again and using it in my regular line up of summer beauty products. And you can't beat the price. For how affordable this is, I was not expecting it to be this good.Let me be clear. I haven't used self-tanners in a really long time. I'm talking maybe 5 years, but probably more like 7 to 10 except for a brief foray into using a light product that I bought a yard sale that didn't work at all. And let me tell you that either this one is insanely good, or in that loooong time frame of my absence, self tanners have improved. A LOT. They used to stink and be super sticky and gross and orangey. This one is not. It is amazing in every way. So I'm going to write a review and it's going to be long for the people who really need to know what they're getting before they get it. If you're not that person, this isn't for you, sorry. I'm also going to include directions for all the people out there who will try this half-heartedly and say it didn't work. That bugs me. So if you want to know the TRUE scoop and all the details on this product, read this, or skim it at least.First of all the only, and I mean ONLY, reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because the naming conventions are idiotic. They're meant to be cute and edgy with their flirting with profanity but the honest truth is it just makes it more confusing. This is important because I am super pale and I need the most bang for my buck with color. I had to Google and click on two websites to figure out that the one that I got, Tanned AF, is level 4 out of 5. There is a darker one if you want that, but I'm too lazy to Google it again and figure out what it is.That said, this stuff is amazing. It is literally the least smelly of any tanner I've ever used in my life. Now maybe tanners have improved in that way (remember I haven't used one in a really long time) and they're all like this now, but I don't know. I'm just impressed by how little it smells, even after it sits on your body for a while.The next thing you need to know is that everyone is reviewing it and saying you need to exfoliate, and this is super true. DO IT! I exfoliated for two days using a nice gritty exfoliator and exfoliating gloves and that's a really important step. I probably could have done it for one more day to prepare.The next thing you need to know is that applying is WAY better with a tanning mitt. I have never used one before and it was wonderful. I would recommend getting more than one because I needed multiple coats and my tanning mitt was drying from being washed out, so I couldn't use it the third time.Okay, so now the directions. First, lotion your rougher areas like your knees. Then get your tanning mit on and really slather the stuff on there and rub it in evenly. I can't emphasize this enough. If you rub it in really well, you'll get a beautiful, even tan. I don't know why people are complaining about the gray color because it really helped me to me make sure I was rubbing it in with even strokes and not letting anything get clumped up anywhere.The next thing you need to know is be PATIENT. On me, it absolutely took at least 6 hours to develop. At first it looks like it's doing nothing. Just wait. I actually recommend putting it on right before you go to bed and then letting it develop overnight. Do NOT wash it off after an hour like it says in the directions, for any kind of reason! That said, it dried really fast and didn't feel super sticky even though I put on two coats on to begin with. I just put on a dark cotton dress and went about my business. This is an amazing improvement in self tanners because I used to feel absolutely sticky and gross for HOURS with my old ones back in the day.I even put on a third coat right before bed and let it dry and it didn't make my sheets all smelly and sticky. It should be noted that I had to put the third coat on with my hands (because my tanning mitt was still drying after washing it out) and I just did it super quickly and rubbed it in well. Then I washed my hands very thoroughly and I did not get tan hands. This is really where I could also see that it wasn't smelly because even though it had been on my hand they hardly smelled that all.Lastly, the color is TERRIFIC!! I get tan on my arms from working in the garden all summer, so I know what my true "tan" color should look like from that situation. This is a very true to color, beautiful golden brown like no tanner I've ever had before. Way to go b.tan!I'm super impressed overall. If you've tried self-tanners in the past and didn't like them, or have been wanting to dabble in self-tanning and are willing to take all the steps, get this product!! You will not be disappointed. And remember, this is coming from a super white, pale, pasty person who hasn't used tanning products in a long time. I was going to be super hard to please, but they did it!!

I have used many sunless tanners. I was diagnosed with melanoma 5 years ago so I can't be the sun worshiper I used to be but I love having color! This is my absolute favorite! It drys fast, does not smell bad, and gives me great color that lasts at least a week. Also, it does not stain my sheets which most I've tried have done that. I make sure I exfoliate, and usually put it on twice about 2 hours apart. After I put it on I wear lose clothes after running a hair dryer on a cool setting over my skin. I don't shower until the next day. You notice color rinsing off in the water, but after a few seconds it stops and you're left with a really nice tan. :)

I’m giving this 3 stars, as I think it gave a good color. That’s said, I’m glad it wasn’t expensive because I don’t think I’m going to give it a second shot. I’ve used self tanners for at least 20 years, so I’ve used plenty of good ones and more than enough not so good ones.The good with this one: the color. The not so good: 1-it was slow to absorb. Rubbing it in felt like it took 2-3x longer than any other self tanning mousse I’ve ever used. I wear latex surgical gloves when I apply it so maybe a mot or brush would work better. I feel like a lot of product is wasted with those, so gloves are my preference. 2- It took a long time to dry once I got it on. At one point, a couple of days in, I used an alcohol swab on a spot and the color came right off. I guess this could also be classified as “good”, when you have a sour you didn’t mean to tan (elbow, finger webbing, etc”. It’s usually meant impossible to get rid of those once you realize it’s there. I didn’t try alcohol for that, but the way it removed color from the middle of my leg, I imagine it works at least help. (Note: I wasn’t rubbing hard or for more than a second. I was just doing a small spot prior to an injection). 3- And last but not least, the color faded very patchy. I feel like any brands I’ve used in the last 5 years have all faded fairly even, but this was incredibly patchy.I hope others have a much better experience. I could get by with some of these, but as long as it took to absorb, I was almost done before I take even got started!! It’s just not worth that kind of time up front for me, for these results.

This e.l.f. lip liner honestly exceeded my expectations, especially for the price. I was looking for something affordable that still had good pigment and stayed in place throughout the day, and this checks all the boxes.The formula is smooth and easy to apply without tugging on the lips, which I really appreciate. It glides on evenly and makes it super easy to define the lips or slightly overline for a fuller look. The color payoff is rich right away, so you don’t have to go over it multiple times to build it up.I also love how well it pairs with different lipsticks and glosses. It helps prevent feathering and keeps everything looking more polished and put together. On its own, it also looks really nice for a more natural, lined-lip look.For longevity, it holds up surprisingly well for a drugstore liner. I still need to touch it up after eating or drinking, but overall it stays put longer than I expected.For the price point, this is an easy repurchase. It’s one of those everyday essentials that just works and makes your lip products look better overall.

I got the Very Dark version and it works really well. I'm very pale and pink; I never tan, just burn. One application made a noticeable, very natural-looking difference. It was easy to apply evenly and dried quickly -- no stickiness. Definitely need a couple more applications for full effect on my pale skin. BUT don't believe the reviews that say it doesn't smell like self-tanner or transfer to sheets/clothes. It has that weird same smell just like most other self-tanners and even after a week of daily showers, I still smell it on my skin. 4 stars because that smell grosses me out (other people might not be as sensitive about it, though). Plus, if you care about your sheets/clothes, be sure you wash it off before bed or dressing. The color absolutely transfers and will ruin sheets/clothes.

Il miglior che ho usato in vita mia!

Adopter des auto bronzant comme Saint tropez, Bali body etc, celui ci est vraiment : le meilleur auto bronzant que j’ai pu tester.La couleur est sublime, et c’est impossible d’avoir des traces avec.

Never leave reviews unless I’m properly wowed. This stuff is amazing I wish I’d found it sooner, leaves you with such a nice glow. Never been able to find good face mists/ tans. 10/10

When it first came out on the mitt I though it was soooo dark! It was almost black! Don't let this scare you. When you wash it off it looks super natural. Great tanning product for those of us that wouldn't use self tan products very often.Make sure to exfoliate off old tan well before reapplying.

Excellent. Not patchy or too dark.
