Bondi Sands Technocolor 1 Hour Express Self Tanning Foam, Innovative Formula, Hydrates for Natural Enhanced Skin Results, Available in 4 Shades

gave me a great tan BUT it stank a weird lil smell, like bready smell. it sticks after a day or two and youll smell it again if you sweat within that time frame. but the color is perfect for me im black and love to use it to deepen my skintone especially in winter and summer

I'm extremely pale--like vampire pale (thank you, Irish genes). I don't tan, I freckle and burn. I have super cool undertones, and finding makeup has always been challenging because even the lightest shades are too dark/orange. I've tried two other self-tanners before and they've been too orange, but this one was PERFECT. It doesn't stain clothes (washes off easily), it doesn't dry out my skin, and it doesn't settle weirdly on my legs and arms. Even if I don't blend an area, I can even it out with a makeup wipe after I wash it off. It lasts quite a while — I retan once a week, and I'm sure I could go longer if I weren't as active. I leave it on for around three hours (I've also left it on for an hour and had great results too), wash it off, go to bed, and wake up with a nice, natural-looking tan. This was my first non-clear foam tan, and it was really easy to use, and I'm super happy with the results.

Used Emerald great olive tone minimal smell and minimal transfer, also not as drying as some products. Very happy with tan results , recommend keep product on 3 Hours.Will try the face serum next-

At first I thought it washed off in the shower, but now I see that it's just very NATURAL and NICE - I bought Emerald but am pretty pale so probably Sapphire would have been better but it was not available as fast - Emerald turned out great. When I put it on my face, there were spots! But it washed off and now looks very natural and sun-kissed. Going to try the face version next!

I've been using St. Tropez Express tan for years, but I recently tried this and it blew my mind. I'm extremely pale with ZERO yellow/warm undertones in my skin. I'm one of those people who burns after being in the sun for five minutes, and year-round I either look transparent-white or pale pink depending on how irritated my skin is (I have rosacea). I'm not one of those people who claims to have fair skin but actually wears a neutral or warm foundation shade. I'm genuinely EXTREMELY fair, like "the lightest shade of foundation still looks orange/yellow on me" fair -- so I know what I'm talking about when I say this tanner is actually pretty cool toned... more than anything I've tried yet, at least. Of course there's still some golden tones , but it's mainly a dark pinky beige when it fully develops. For girlies who actually have fair cool-toned or pink skin, you'll know how rare this is. It's almost impossible to find any complexion product that doesn't pull orange, but the first time I had this on after it fully developed I felt like it mimicked what I would look like if I could actually -theoretically- get a natural tan -- dark pinky beige with just a hint of warmth. I knew it was promising when it literally came out of the bottle looking INDIGO GREY. Real ones know the excitement of finding a true grey-toned product.... As far as performance goes, I personally think it's hard to fairly judge self tanners because a lot of it comes down to user error. Even people who have been tanning for years can do a lazy job exfoliating and their tan will turn out blotchy and come off in 5 days. That being said, there was a NOTICEABLE difference in how quickly and evenly this faded on me. The St. Tropez tanner used to come off SO bad in the creases of my elbows and knees after about a week, and I'd have these huge awkward white spots where you could clearly see where the tan had rubbed off. Well... not with this one!! Again, idk how much of that was down to my skin prep, but I'm on my second application of this product and I still haven't seen any rubbing off on those high-friction/sweat areas (I live in Texas, so YES this is thoroughly sweat tested). I can't guarantee that this product will work this well for everyone, but for the true fair/cool toned girls out there I think you have a way better chance of success with this than with other more "universal" self tan shades. Everyone has different preferences so this might STILL look a tiny bit too golden for your taste if you're as pale as I am, but this is definitely the least orange-toned self-tan product I've ever used. Never going back to St. Tropez lol. And this is cheaper too!

gave a pretty and even color and was not too dark or orange at all. i am a incredibly fair redhead and this was an adequate introduction into fake tanning. major drawback was it makes you stink like b.o.!!! so beware

A fragrance free self tanner!! FINALLY one that goes on so smoothly and you can't smell it. I have very sensitive skin and haven't had any problems with this. For my hands, I rub a tiny pump into my lotion for my hands and it doesnt leave any streaks or "spots" 10/10 recommend! Can't wait to try the other tones.

On a mission to try all the self tanners until I find one that doesn't turn me orange and actually sticks to my stretch marks (so far the only fake tan that meets the criteria has been a professional airbrush tan). This review is for the Emerald version of this one, which is supposed to be a dark olive tan. Pros: - Streak-free! Absolutely by far the most consistent application I've gotten with any DIY tan, including other Bondi products. - Is one of the better ones as far as stretch marks go. Some self tanners do not stick to that skin at all and I end up looking like a tiger. Others look kinda muddy on the skin surrounding the stretch marks. This one doesn't make them the exact same color as my "normal" skin, but at least it does tan them a little. - the tan seems to be pretty buildable. In my picture, I did the first application left on for 4 hours and then did a second application the next day for 1 hour. In the picture - my arm already had a good base tan but my stomach was fully un-tanned with all previous self tanner removed. Neutral: - has the bad self tanner smell that every one has. Lingers for a solid 24 hours even despite showering. - the guide color does rub off on clothes but not as bad as some others. You still need to sit around on a towel pretty much naked or in very loose clothing that you don't mind getting stained. Cons: - the color Emerald is ...weird. I have a neutral-cool skintone and every self tanner, even the violet base ones, pulls orange AF on me, so I figured it couldn't hurt to try olive and see if the green undertone helped... it did not. On my fully natural pale skin, it actually looks like a nice olive tan and isn't super orange. However, on my skin that DOES have a real tan going (my arms and legs), it is probably the worst of them all as far as orange tone goes. I'm *certain* it would look better on someone with a true olive tone so I'm not going to give it super low stars. I think the color mismatch is my own fault. But this one is NOT for people with cool toned skin 😂
