I wasn't aware that this tanner would hardly show a tan at all. I might as well just use a normal body lotion because it basically has the same effect, except without the strong smell. I also have the face one and my face hardly gets any colour off it and I have to work super quick or ill get dots of tan on my face from it setting too soon. The size of the bottle is also ridiculously small so its not like it would last awhile, when I want to tan I want to tan everywhere because I want an even tan for the summer but yeah this stuff would hardly last me any time and what's the point when the result isn't even noticeable?

Miss the old product....

I have LOVED all BM products for years, and have not been disappointed until last week when I purchased a new bottle of the new Faux Tan. It still gave me the great color but did leave a few streaks and spots and the smell is now awful it's just like every other self-tanner on the market. Highly disappointed with the new smell; I'm glad that you have made it paraben free but please find a way to get rid of the stinky smell!!

Heartbroken!

I am so upset that they changed the formula of this!!!!! Yes, its great that there are no longer parabens in it but the new product is totally different form the old faux tan, which was my favourite self tanner of all time!! It was beyond perfect and looked SO perfect right from when you first applied it, it gave a beautiful dark golden color and developed into an even better tan. The texture of the new stuff is so bad. It doesnt go on with good brown coverage like the old one, it goes on green and feels really thick on my skin, and doesnt really have any initial color other than a green tint. Ugh! And the end result is nowhere near as good as the old one!! I am literally so sad the old one is gone i have searched every corner of the internet to find old bottles i can buy but no luck especially in canada. I would pay any amount of money for a bottle of the old formula i dont know what i am going to do without it!!!!!!!!!

Prosawesome color!!
I love love love the color of this tanner!! In the loose minerals, I wear golden fair and fairly light when I have no tan at all. I don't want to go to the tanning bed all the time. What this does for me?..... I use it on my chest, hands and feet and it looks like I have a tan when that's all that is seen. The girl in the boutique that showed it to me told me to use it with a buffing brush. I put it in a small dish and dot it on my skin, then buff in the circular pattern. It is awesome!! The color is the same color I am when I get UV tan, which is unbelievable! I also use the face formula and just buff it across my cheeks, nose and forehead because that's where I always get the UV rays naturally. Using the brush makes it much more even, plus there is no hand washing and it never makes the bristles hard. This is the first year that I have had a tan this early with no UV and I look like I do after I've been in the sun. When I do get in the sun, I will use this to even it out and prolong it, how can I go wrong? The only reason I left off the last star is because I do have trouble with the smell, but i think that is my skin chemistry. The smell is good out of the bottle, I use it at night so on my skin, it smells like all other tanners and wakes me up all night. So I really think it's my own chemistry that mixes with it. Otherwise - 5 stars! (Also, I am very acne prone and neither one of the body or face formula has broke me out at all)
