My new best friend
I am reviewing th Darkside Ultra Bronze Self Tanning lotion.  I want to preface this with the fact that I have never written a review before.  The seller did offer a free bottle of this new product as a thank you for taking time to write a review (they did not ask for a positive review).  While this is a nice offer, it is not the only reason for this review.  I am a fair skinned, mostly Irish (freckles and auburn haired) female who likes having a natural looking tan for the summer.  It makes me feel so much better about myself to not look ghostly and pale:)  I have to obtain my sun color mostly artificially, because my skin cannot tan well.  I am a self tanner fiend!  I have tried many self tanners over the last how ever many years they have been available-I have tried expensive ones like Fake Bake, as well as cheap ones like Bannana Boat.<br /><br />After 5 different applications, here are my positive findings for this product as compared to the many others I have tried:<br /><br />1.  Goes on smoothly-easy to blend (lighter in 'bronzeness&#34; of lotion so this helps with blending on fairer skin as well)<br />2.  Dries/absorbs quickly<br />3.  Light, non-offensive fragrance<br />4.  Does not turn me orange<br />4.  Wears longer (the effects last longer)  This is my favorite part-only applying twice a week to maintain shading I want<br />5.  Not pricey<br /><br />The only negative comment is about the self tanner &#34;smell&#34; that develops, but I gave this product 5 stars because all self tanners produce this odor.  It is not as strong with this product as I have noticed with others.  Self tanners produce the odor due to the chemical reaction that has to happen to produce tanning effects.<br />I am not the type of person that would lead anyone astray by writing a false review.  This is a great product for me, and I will be purchasing it again!
