This tan is amazing! I use it on top of a normal spray tan for a night out and it makes your legs look airbrushed and shimmery!

I love this product. Not a big fan of tanners as i am naturally darker complected anyway, I usually find they are orange even if they say they rent. However, I have alot of scars on my legs from eczema and due to always covering up out of embarrassment, when Summer comes around and its to hot and stupid to wear long pants or skirts, my legs just look ridiculously pasty and off-colour. After reading so many reviews of this on MUA and from other beauty blogs, I'm happy to report that I love this stuff!!!! It covers up my scars and gives the illusion of scar free legs. Even my eczema which is always very obvious on my legs is pretty much hidden. Also, does optical illusions on making my wobbly cellulite on my thighs look barely there and smooth. It does last forever but I go to the beach and swim all day and the colour doesn't come off unless im scrubbing in the shower. The mousse like formula isnt streaky and with a good rub in it looks very natural and not orangey. It doesn't smell either, has an initial smell maybe but once it dries, which is also very quick i might add, you don't smell like a tanning booth or anything. I haven't had any problems with leaving marks on clothes either. All in all a very good product I highly recommend.

After reading lots of amazing life changing reviews about this product, I was excited to give it a try. I applied this product while standing in my (empty) hot tub, on a dark towel. I was immediately amazed by the nice even color and powdery feel this gave my legs. I stepped out of the tub, I turned on the water to rinse away the orange residue which has sprayed onto the walls of the tub. It didn't come off. Maybe this is because of the 'texture' of the tub, it has a gritty texture to it. I sprayed scrubbing bubbles on the surface and filled it to soak. The product says to wait 60seconds before dressing. I decided to do my makeup while it dried. 10minutes later I put some shorts on, I realized that the product was rubbing off on the inside of my shorts. I sat down on the (closed) toilet seat to take the shorts off, only to find the product rubbed off all over the toilet seat where my legs touched! I decided to take a hair dryer to try to "set" this product on my skin to avoid any other complications. After 3-5minutes I took a Kleenex to try to wipe off any excess color from my legs. The entire Kleenex turned orange. I figured maybe that was a good sign, that the rest of the color would stay put. I took a scrub brush and tried to scrub out the surface of the tub. After some work it started to come out, although not entirely. The water splashed onto my legs and left little white spots in the coloring, which I was able to blend with my hand. The tub is currently full of water which I am hoping will soak the color out of it. After I finish writing this I am getting in the shower to scrub it off, entirely. I am disgusted about it. It is not worth the hassle, or the embarrassment of having orange rub off on everything you touch. In conclusion, be careful when you use this product, I followed directions, and I had a horrible experience. I am sure there are lots of helpful hints to do in addition to following directions, read those before you use this product. Apparently, I should have used this product outside, and used a little less than I thought was necessary.

My HG!!!!
Been using this since 2004! I wear it all the time. I also brush some shimmer powder on my front thighs and calves after applying this when I wear skirts or dresses. The only slight con, is that it can feel a little heavy. But that is why its important to not use any lotion or thick lotions/oil before applying this. I HAVE used makeup primer on my legs before before applying this (I know, thats a lot of primer that can be used up fast) but that also makes it easier to glind and blend). I always use the Darkest one (deep glow). Gives a very pretty tan! This and "Aero Tan" are the 2 best "temporary tan sprays" on the market!

As a part time bikini competitor this little product is our best kept secret, we use it on the night of our competition on top of our fake tan. (as we have to look very, very tan)

It goes on really easily and gives incredible coverage, as in literally looks like you've airbrushed your skin.

However you need to be aware that it does come off on clothes and will come off straight away when you get wet so this is not suitable for certain situations. I wouldn't wear this on a night out but I do love it for competiting.

I love this tan! I am obsessed with fake tan bought jut about everyone! I found this a while ago and loved it, however just as of recently with the last few bottles I have bought when I apply to my arms it looks terrible! It's like it catches onto my hair and looks so blotchy! I don't know what to do because it looks great on my legs but then I can't have it on my legs and not my arms! Otherwise I look to pale. I was thinking of mixing it with moisturizer.. Did anyone else notice this??? HELP!!!

This is not a lasting self tanner, it is only meant for temporary daily occasional use, it will wash off completely once wet. Just thought you should know.

LOVE THIS PRODUCT! My all time favourite instant tan!
I have used this for many years and the colour Deep Glow is perfect for my NC35-37 skin tone. It makes my skin 1 shade darker and also actually does live up to its name by making my skin look airbrushed. Here in Australia they sold the version with shimmer in it, which I loved as I use this when going out on my legs, arms or chest area which was appropriate for nights out. Now they have started selling the new version without the Shimmer (which has the blue/white background behind the legs on the packaging), and while its the same product I really do miss the shimmer! I am going to now get mine off eBay, will work out cheaper anyway as its so cheap overseas. Recommend this to everyone, just be careful where you apply it as it does over spray and ends up all over my bathroom and sometimes my clothes! Also wait AT LEAST 10 mins before getting dressed as I've admittedly had many experiences of staining my clothes when in a hurry.
Another plus is that its water-resistant and actually stays on my skin after showering once! Amazing product

I've only used this product once so this review is subject to change.
I caved and got the Deep Glow and followed the cosmetician's instructions of spraying it on my palm and working it on the skin of my legs. This stuff went on very smoothly and no streaks. The colour is a nice caramel shade which is perfect for my Asian yellow based skin tone. It looks completely natural and lasts all day.
Wait for about 5-10 minutes before getting dressed.

So I tried this product out in Medium Glow on Saturday August 4th, 2012. I was a little nervous when it started storming and pouring down rain. I thought that it would just run off of me but it didn't. It dries really quickly but that also means you have to apply quickly or it will streak. I sprayed it into my hands and then onto my legs. I'm thinking I might try this mixed with lotion and see if that helps with application. I hope mixing it with moisturizer doesn't effect it's staying power. The reason I picked this up is because I live in Chicago and wear pants a lot of the year. My legs are way lighter than my face, arms, and chest. This made my legs look believably tan but not orangey. I will definitely buy this again. I may even try this in Deep and hope it doesn't look ridiculous on me.

I uploaded two pictures (before and after) using this product. Wow! It does help to cover up my spider veins. I am very pleased. I can do without the sparkles but you can only really see it in the sunlight. I love its staying power and that its transfer resistant. I even went swimming with this stuff on and it stayed put until I started drying off my legs. There's no noticeable scent which I like. I like this product better than MAC's sundressing because it dries almost instantly! I did end up exchanging the Deep Glow for Tan Glow because the Deep Glow was a bit too dark for me. My legs were several shades darker than the rest of my body. Not a good look for me! I'm a MAC NC35-40 for reference. $12.49 at ULTA.

I love this product! I have many scars on my knees and legs from volleyball and other sports. This products hides most of them and makes my legs look fabulous!!!Every time i got to school everyone compliments me on my tan looking legs! The only bad thing about this product is that it comes off in the shower if u scrub yourself hard or semi-hard. But other than that i love it! I recommend you go buy it,
(:

This tan has good and bad points to it but I love it and have repurchased it countless times.

To apply it I use a latex glove (so my palms don't get covered) with a very old sock with holes in it or missing its pair over the glove. I find this to be a lot better than using a tanning mitt as you can just throw them in the wash after use and you have more movement in your hands. I spray it directly on my leg and PAT do not rub. You need to let this dry for about 10mins or it goes all over your clothes and smudges your tan.

Pros-
Leaves your legs looking flawless. Covers bruises, veins, stretchmarks completely and cellulite doesn't look as bad.
Can be used directly after shaving and won't leave those little red bumps
Water resistant (when I get in the shower it doesn't come off unless I wash it off with shower gel).

Cons-
I use about 60% of a bottle to do my legs, so I don't even get two uses
This is a one day only tan, when you get out of bed the next day it looks awful
Can rub off easily you need to be careful that you don't slide yourself onto seats instead of just sitting down
The spray can be messy I lay a couple of towels on the floor
This is sparkly especially in sunlight (I personally don't mind this)

The deep glow is the best colour even if you are pale. The others look very yellow and more sparkly.

LOVE this stuff! Went on evenly, beautiful color, and a little sparkly too. I used it on my arms, and mixed a little into my tinted moisturizer. It is amazing.

Don't go on stage without this. Don't go on a book tour where you're photographed every five minutes without this. Don't ride on a parade float without this. In other words, rub this on every visible skin surface when you're getting ready for the harsh public eye, and VOILÀ, you look like someone spent ten hours getting you ready for the red carpet.

It's not glittery, it's just a bit reflective which is part of its reflecting magic. Again, the camera loves it.

I don't "tan." I have what you might call a "jogging tan" from the lines on my running togs, which look like crap with any other neckline. My skin is blotchy, my skin is old, I am a lazy hippie and yet I have these strange moments in life where I have to clean up nice and look decent. My patience is razor thin and this can of tan just saves me every time.

Yes, this gets the lazy vain hippie award.

I do like this product. I wouldn't say it's the best but it is pretty good.

When I shave/wax my legs I can always see the hair follicles under my skin and I've been suffering with this since I first started shaving my legs. It doesn't completely hide it but it's a whole lot better than not using anything at all

Love this stuff. It's perfect if you want to have flawless legs and it works with my skin tone. I haven't found it to run with normal wear.

I am surprised so many people like this. I bought it based on these reviews. What shocked me was the hint of glitter in this spray tan. I didnt see that anyone mentioned but there is glitter on my legs now. I guess for a more formal type occassion or if you like the looks of glitter, this is fine, but I dont like glitter at all. At 47, I am over that! haha

As far as getting any sort of color off of this, there was nothing. I should say, I am currently using many different self tanners, so maybe with a tan already, I am not a good judge. But its been about 6 hrs since I applied it and all I see is glitter. I sprayed it on a gloved hand then rubbed quick just on my lower leg, just to see how it would look. I wasnt going out tonight, so I didnt care if it was noticable. And it wasnt! Just looked like I put some lotion with glitter on my leg. Very disappointed as it looks like it gets raving reviews
