Review (3/5): Proceed With Extreme Caution
I'm really torn on this review. If I could give it 2.5 stars, I would. It does have a considerable pro or two, but it also is laden with a lot of items in the "cons" column. So first, the good stuff: SugarBaby delivers on its promise to provide a dark bronze tan. The color is deep and natural looking and develops quickly. Another unexpected pro with this product is that I found the "guide" to be a pretty color once it dried and settled, so if it was necessary to go out after tanning you wouldn't have the odd color found in some products' guides. Of course, the guide in itself is a pro also, as it always helps to be able to tell if you've missed a spot, gotten it streaky, where you left off, etc. The color also lasted a fair amount of time (6 days or so.)
Now to the cons. I had to apply the mousse with latex gloves (the result of a defective tanning mitt) and eventually the help of my husband. I was absolutely exhausted once I finished tanning the parts I could reach, and he finished my back and arms. Although it was a tremendous pain, it looked good and looked even. After 30 minutes, I still couldn't get dressed in even a loose robe because a few areas felt tacky to the touch. It was almost an hour before I felt sort of dry. I eventually put on very loose pajamas pants and a long sleeve t-shirt; 5 hours later I went to bed. In the morning, there was tanner on my duvet cover, sheets, and inside my clothes.
So, Pros: Good color, lasts fairly well
Cons: Backbreaking to apply, long drying time, color transfer onto fabrics
Reserve this one for when you don't mind the extra trouble to get really dark.
Tip: Apply it 1st thing a day around the house, wear baggy clothes, and as late at night as you can, shower off the guide. You'll have given yourself the 8-10 hours your tan needs to develop (and then some), plus you'll save your sheets AND wake up smelling DHA free. :)
