Most Helpful Positive Review This is great! I used this lotion to extend a fake tan on my legs after using Tanologist mousse (which is also great, btw). It has a very sweet coconut smell, like a coconut candy, that I really like. The scent lasts a long time if you're not doing much, but it will fade if you're being active/getting sweaty. I don't notice any fake tanner smell with this at all. It feels nice (not greasy) and doesn't irritate my skin if I apply it directly after shaving. It also adds just the right amount of color for me to help make a fake tan last a little longer. I'm pretty pale (usually 2nd lightest shade of most drugstore foundation ranges) and the medium/deep is what I bought and it works great for me. I have to say that I've only tried this on my legs because I only tan my legs to make up for the lack of sun they get compared with my upper half.
Most Helpful Critical Review Okay depending on your goals! This product is quality, but I wouldn't say it's buildable. It does have a nice smell and does provide an instant, natural looking tan. I applied with a glove, and it dried almost instantly, no waiting to go anywhere. The biggest issue is that it claims to be buildable, but it is not. The tan washes completely off with one shower. So, if you goal is to look a little more tan for a day/event, this is it! If your goal is to build a self-tan over time, I'd go another direction.

Sungirl from United States
I was so excited to try this, but I used it daily for about a month or so and saw no results. Sadly I got absolutely no tan. It's moisturizing enough though and smells good, so if you're looking for a beachy scented body lotion then this only works as that.

It's a tad pricey but a wonderful product.
I would give it zero stars 1

The smell is awful is so awful! Smells like a stink bug!
Love it! 5
Angela from Seattle
If you already have a tan and are looking to maintain it, this product would be a good pick! It's just like a regular lotion and doesn't leave your hands stained. It does have a strong coconut/slightly sweet smell. The smell can last all day, but I don't mind it! I usually apply after I shower or before bed. It does not leave me with any stains, just a good smell and a nice little tan. I began noticing results after 3 days of continuous use! Love it and strongly recommend
This is great! 4
K from Daytona beach
I've self tanned since I was in 9th grade and I'm 28 now, this is one of my favorites now. I love the color of the med to deep, it's not too orange but a nice glow to the skin and it smells sooooo good for a self tanner. I am repurchasing ASAP so I don't break my flow of keeping up with my tan.
Awful stinky and yellow 1
Zahraa from CA
I hate this product. It smells so awful it makes me nauseous. It does not smell like coconuts or anything remotely nice. It is super patchy and leaves weird orange and yellow streaks on your skin (especially on the hands). My main gripe is just the stench. It is absolutely revolting. If it weren't for the smell I would try using it more. But after a couple of tries I don't think I could handle smelling it again. It sticks to your clothes, your skin, it just doesn't go away.
Couldn't stand the smell 1
Mari from Virginia
I really wanted to love this product because I absolutely love everything from Colourpop. I didn't even had the chance to try it because I swiped on my arm and the smell for me was unbearable. The extreme sweet strong smell of coconut really turned me off, and I could even smell it after shower. If it wasn't for the smell would have absolutely tried it. Please Colourpop make it with no perfume or a lighter one!!!
This is great for a natural glow! 5
kat from NYC
I have been using this in the fair/light for about a week. I definitely see the color pay off. It looks like an even, natural tan. I use it once a day in the morning after I shower. I would recommend if you're looking for a subtle tan that's super easy. I have been avoiding the sun for a tan and this is a great alternative.
Terrible 1
Beautygirl from Lake Charles, LA
I never leave bad reviews on products unless I find it horrible and this one was one of them. I've used many many gradual self tanning lotions and none have left me as orange and streaky as this one. I rubbed it really good everywhere and some parts were orange and the other parts had no lotion. The only good thing is the smell

Didn't do much for me 2
Natalie from Florida
I wanted to use this to keep my st tropez self tanner for longer, but it did nothing but make my tan fade streaky every time. However I gave it two stars because it smells really nice and is a moisturizing lotion.
NATURAL TAN 5
Megs from Olympia wa
This is best for people looking for a natural tan. This isn't going to give you the same color as a dark tanning foam. That being said, it's by far my favorite self tanner I have ever tried. It doesn't collect all on dry skin and it gives an even color. Best thing is that it gives you a NATURAL color. If you're pale and looking to have just a little color this is for you.
amazing! 5
- from PA
I never use self tanner because im very fair and it usually looks fake no matter what, but this left my skin feeling great and looking better! I got so many compliments on healthy it made me look overall. It is not greasy and theres no weird after wards smell. I used this after using the SOL body scrub (that I purchased through the colourpop website). Colourpop has been sold out of this product for weeks now
The smell won't go away and the color is barely there 2
AmieBPS from MO-Missouri
I wanted to love this, but I just don't. I am avid user of tanning lotions and mouses - I am familiar with the majority of them. I tried this, but it has flaws. The smell itself isn't bad, but it's strong and lingers forever - on my clothing, bedding, everything. Also after two applications I barely see any color. It does not seem to be buildable either. It absorbs well, it's very thin in texture. I just can't deal with the intense smell and the fact that I am not getting much color for it.
My new favorite tanning lotion 5
tesee from San Diego
Great natural color, no streaking, it says gradual but I noticed the color after only 1 application. It smells downright amazing, like dreamy sweet coconut with absolutely NO fake tanning scent like every other brand has. It's also legitimately hydrating and leaves my legs feeling soft all day long (and I have REALLY dry skin). I'll keep buying this brand from here on out.
a must have 5
bigbooty from utah
first time trying this tanning lotion and it is amazing! smells great and it's so moisturizing and the color pay off is amazing! I didn't expect much but let me tell you, you can definitely notice the change in color.
Worth it 5
Erin E from Topeka
This product gives me a really healthy glow and helps me feel confident! The smell is a bit much, but it doesn't really smell bad.
I would buy this again 5
Wendi from New Jersey
I love this! Never streaks or looks orange.
Fantastic product!!! 5
Christine from Pa
This is a fantastic product! Smells great and the color is perfect! Not sticky and does not come off on your clothes.
Great Smell 4
Chris from NJ
This lotion is lightweight and smells amazing! So easy to use and dries quickly. Definitely good for building colour up.
You need it!! 5
Liv from Columbus, OH
So I work at ulta and was a little hesitant to buy this bec of the mixed reviews. I waited until a coworker bought and I immediately bought it right after. It smells like coconuts not like a tanning product. It's light and buildable. I use almost everyday as my night moisturizer and it's gives you the best natural glow. You can use It more frequently to build the tan. I am very pale but recommend the med/deep. This one has a great color to it.
Perfectly blends 5
Books from Connecticut
Finally a gradual tanning lotion that doesn't streak and blends perfectly!!! Smells AMAAAAZING!
Worth every penny 5
Carrie from South Carolina
I'm very fair and used the medium/deep and got a beautiful golden bronze glow. Has a great coconut scent and is white so it doesn't stain clothes. Just yet another reason why Colourpop and its sister brands get my money
Love It 5
TEdwards from Va
I really like this gradual tanner. I'm already tanned but I bought to Medium dark to deepen my tan and it works great. I love the smell of it. In my opinion this stuff has the best smell for a tanner. I see no streaks. I used this on my daughter as well and she's a lot lighter than me and it turned out great the first time with some color. I'm actually on my second bottle and I definitely plan to buy more. I've bought way more expensive tanners and this is the best I've used so far. No complaints about this one!
