Vacation Instant Vacation Bronzing Lotion SPF 30 Body Sunscreen

First of all, if you thought this was self tanner, that's on you for not paying attention to the words in the description and product name. It gives you some temporary color. It smells good, soaks in well, leaves a pretty sheen, and for me it hasn't ruined any of my clothes or furniture. At first I was washing my palms afterward to get rid of any extra settling into the lines, but soon learned I can just rub them together hard and any extra gets redistributed and absorbed. I bought it when it was on sale and now I'm kicking myself for not getting more at that price!

This works okay but it's streaky no matter what I do. Have to rub the excess that wont absorb off after it dries. The real issue is the smell. It is SO BAD. Like musty moldy smell mixed with chemical smell of self-tanner.

This is not only the worst tanning product I've dudes, it's the worst beauty product I've used. Please check the other reviews that show pictures of the stains this leaves behind. It does not apply smoothly, it took a long time to workout in to not be streaky. I figured it would dry down. Nope. It's a sloppy mess. It stained the chair I was sitting in, my clothing, and my towel causing hundreds of dollars of damage and it didn't even look good. When I tried to return it I told the girl at the register that they should warn people who are buying this product that it stains worse than a permanent marker and her reply was "well I haven't heard anybody else complain." Clearly the other reviews here prove otherwise. Stay away.

Does it appear to make you tan? Yes but what cost? It stains any fabric it comes in contact with and no matter how even you try to apply it, it becomes blotchy. If you have deep pores or any texture fo your skin it will AMPLIFY those blemishes. I really wanted to love this product.

I bought a ton of Vacation products to try, since I was hearing good things and getting ads for them constantly, and I liked the normal SPF 30 & 50, so I had high hopes and expectations for the bronzing lotion. To set the scene, my husband and I recently bought a boat, and I could not wait to get super tan, maybe the tannest I've ever been with this as my champion! And it worked, but it almost cost me my marriage of only two years! (kidding, but like not...) This made such a mess and stained nearly everything it came into contact with - multiple towels & bathing suits, my usual seat in the bow area and a few other places around the boat. Worst of all, no amount of bleach or stain remover gets these stains out!! My husband usually isn't one to get mad about stuff like this, but when he saw that none of the heavy cleaners were doing anything to combat the orange smears and spots, he put the hammer down and said that if I continue on this quest to be the tannest of them all, and use this one more time, he's banning me from the boat for the rest of the summer - maybe completely! Which was a bit harsh, but I don't blame him one bit! So even though the bottle itself only costs like $20-25, I'm now paying way more to replace towels, a couple of my bathing suits, and as many cleaners/stain removers I can find until something works! Even though I'm extremely proud of my current tan, it is SO not worth the mess and potentially hundreds of $$$ to try to replace/repair everything!! Stay away if you value literally anything - whether that be a relationship or a material item!!
