Better than expected, given all the sponsored reviews
Note: this is not one of those I-got-this-for-free-and-am-writing-a-glowing-review reviews. I am really sick of those, by the way.<br /><br />I self-tan after nearly every shower. I live in California and have to look the part, you know? But after two years with Fake Bake, I decided it was time to try to find something a little more low maintenance (Fake Bake is great, but the mitt is 100% necessary and the extra accessory to deal with is frustrating).<br /><br />I went on Amazon, quickly scanned reviews, and ordered this. Then, while waiting for its arrival, I read the reviews and was frustrated to find that nearly all were written by sponsored users, and are therefore untrustworthy (I don't care if you say the review is &#34;honest&#34;, I just cannot give the benefit of the doubt to a trend more associated with scams than hot tips). Nevertheless, I decided to give it a shot.<br /><br />This WAY exceeded my low expectations. It blends really easily (almost no streaks!), smells relatively good, isn't sticky at all, DOESN'T RUB OFF MUCH ON SHEETS / CLOTHING (a little is to be expected from all skin dyes, but some are noticeably awful *cough*fakebake*cough*), and gives a  pretty realistic tan, assuming you're not ghost white to start. Totally worth the adventure away from Fake Bake in my book.<br /><br />HOWEVER, if you use your hands to apply this, you better have a stack of sandpaper nearby because this will instantly dye your palms brown. I haven't tried using plastic gloves, but I am a little disappointed that a mitt is once more necessary. At least in dire circumstances my hands are a possibility, unlike Fake Bake.<br /><br />Will probably buy again
