Tanologist Self Tan Airbrush Mist

Most Helpful Critical Review

Bought with my OWN money!

As the title say, this was NOT gifted to me from Tanologist, I purchased it in-store with my own money! For reference, I ONLY use Tanologist products, I'm a diehard fan of their ULTRA DARK Tanning Water. It is my Holy Grail product but for some very odd reason, Ulta doesn't sell it. I bought both ...Medium AND Dark, but I decided to try Dark last night. I figured, if Heaven Forbid this works *too well* and I'm *too dark* (one can only WISH), then I would automatically know to just use Medium next time. Lets talk about the scent first. It doesnt have Tanologist's usual scent. This scent is very aquatic, it slightly reminds me of MAC turquatic but in a very Good, rounded way. It's very clean-smelling and gender neutral. This scent also doesnt linger. But the Best part is that there is literally NO self tanner development scent like.. AT ALL. My ultra dark tanning water usually wakes me up in the middle of the night from suffocating on the DHA development fumes, yet this product was completely undetectable! Lets talk about application. I actually ADORE the aerosol sprayer! Tanologist really came for Tan-Luxe's neck with this one. It sprays so good, even upside down. It made the self tanning process really easy. It has an atomizer that evenly drenches you in product, so it's totally not suitable to be used as setting spray or something. It made my tanning session unusually fast. Also, it's very hydrating. Now lets talk about the RESULTS!!! …Barely any results. I read some of the FEW non-gifted/paid reviews on Ulta as well as some comments on Tiktok and everyone was actually blasting this product for making them "orange". In my opinion, a tan is a tan, so I was BEYOND excited to possibly be orange - because that would mean that it atleast kind of works, right!!? But… I got nothing. This was literally the equivalent to using Tanologist "Light" shade in their clear mouse/clear tanning water. Such a BUMMER! I slept 5 hours in a heavy, HEAVY layer of this and got barely any color, meanwhile an equivalent application of my tried&true Ultra Dark tanning water would have me waking up TAN and looking hot! Let me also clock Tanologist for the fact that this product is 5.0oz and literally EVERY OTHER tanologist product is 6.7oz. We're missing 1.7oz sweetie. Where is it. This was not okay. Tanologist: don't pull this trick ever again, and leave the OG products ALONE. Anyway, this was a flop for me and I will be running back to my beloved Tanologist Ultra Dark tanning water, she is the greatest of all time, she is ultra dark, she is PERFECT!!!
