This is the first in-shower self tanner that I have ever used, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I received a luxury size sample of this in a bonus beauty bag from shoppers after spending $150 dollars on skin care products. Anyway, I was nervous about trying this, because many years ago, when I was in high school, I tried a self tanner and looked like trump. (Can I say that here? Or is that fake news?) The bottle says light to medium skin and I personally have olive undertones. As a kid, I was olive all year but in the summer I always got deep brown and very seldom did I ever burn. As an adult, i am wayyy more pale. Soooo I thought what the heck and so I did it. I followed the instructions on the back of my tiny sample ( which btw was tiny even though it was a luxury size) so I did my normal shower, exfoliat, shave, wash, and then my hair.. I turned off the shower, then I took the st tropez and began to rub the pruduct in circular motions, all over my body. The product comes out a little darker than a gold color with a slight tinge of green and is thick consistency and very creamy. The smell isn't terrible. I put this everywhere except my face. Then washed the palms of my hands, and waited for 4-5 mins. The bottle says 3 mins but I lost track of time while tweezing my brows lol. Anyway, I washed it off with lukewarm water and patted dry. The actives work over the next 8 hours. So at the end of the day I wasn't sure if I even noticed a difference. (Should have done before and after pics) I used it for 3 days in a row before I noticed that the bottle said light to medium color... duh. Anyway, I didn't notice much of a tan really, but on the 5th day .. 2 days since the final application, I went swimming and my friend said my skin looked completely even and super bronzey.
Final thoughts are:
This would be great for lighter skin tones if they want to be darker.
This had no orange tones at all.
That tiny luxury size bottle still has enough to do 2 more applications. So it goes a long way. I may even grab a bottle of this for middle of winter because I didn't notice color on my olive skin, however, my friend was right!! I was Even-Steven all over.
Since I did not buy this product, I checked it out on the shelf, and it seems to be slighty more pricey than a few other brands but, to not look like trump, is worth it to me. Also , a little goes a long way for sure.
Side note..I picked up the starter kit from St tropez to give a whirl. I have not given up on a beautifully-tanned, sunless body.
Stay tuned

I had tried several night creams in the boutique isles and seemed to spend a fortune without being fully happy with any brand. One had a bad smell another had a weird texture. You know the story... anyway I was waiting on a prescription and was browsing the main face care isle and lo and behold there's a Garnier night cream!! On sale too! Lol. I figured why the heck not try it. I mean it's less than half the cost plus it has hyaralonic acid! ! I couldn't get home fast enough and I also made everyone in the house go to bed early so I could get this mystery cream on my face (eww -

Love this product. I was having some issues with acne due to pH imbalance. I love that this has witch hazel and 5 percent glycolic. I apply with a damp cotton pad in an upward motion on my face neck and chest. It makes my pores instantly shrink and when I use it at night I wake up to soft smooth even skin! -
