L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Tinted Self Tanning Lotion, Medium Natural Tan 5 fl. Oz

I HAVE BEEN USING THIS HIGH QUALITY L'OREAL .BRONZER FOR YEARS!FIRST OFF, I RECEIVE COMPLIMENTS ON MY BEAUTIFUL TAN WHILE ON VACATION.I NEVER TAN. I ONLY USE 70 SUNBLOCK. IT IS ALL THIE L'OREAL BRONZER & NO ONE CAN GUESS.FULL COVERAGE IS EASY WITH NO STREAKING. IT LASTS FOR DAYS, WITH SLIGHT REAPPLYING NEEDED PER WEEK.THE COLOR IS AUTHENTIC & IT HAS A SLIGHT SPARKLE. PEOPLE COMMENT, "YOUR SKIN IS SO SPARKLY. I LOVE THAT. WHAT IS IT". I NEVER USE BRONZER ON MY FACE SO CANNOT COMMENT ON THAT ASPECT. IF YOU WANT A SUNKISSED FACE, JUST USE A LITTLE POWDER DUSTING OF YOUR FAVORITE DRUGSTORE COLOR. THERE IS A SLIGHT ODOR TO THE BRONZER, BUT IT FADES IN MINUTES AFTER APPLYING. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

This might be my favorite self-tanner ever! It does a great job, even after one application. (Just be careful to wash off your hands immediately after applying.) I've used only on my legs so far. And I like the color - it's a nice deep tan color versus an orangey color that I've seen in other products. And it leaves a nice shimmer on your skin, too. And the odor is pleasant and bearable, not awful like some other self-tanners. Would (and have) definitely buy again!

This has been a learning curve for me as I never applied self tanner before lol this has been a great product. It doesn't make me to dark. Gives my legs a nice tan look which i love. The ingredients aren't horrible which is why I bought it. I do see some yellow tint once its dries but not horrible. I would definitely buy it again.Happy summer 💛

This product provides great coverage and color. I was surprised that it contained glitter and shimmer which I wasn’t expecting. Guess I should’ve read the fine print. It has a fairly distinctive smell but not offensive really like the color quality no orange at all.

I have used this for years-starting mid-April through mid-September every year. Good price & I love the soft shimmer on my skin.

I just feel so much better about myself with a tan so I bought this to try. I already had a mitt so I just jumped right in, even applying it to my face. Came out beautifully and the glimmer makes me love it even more. I do use a little less around my knees and elbows and wash my hands when I'm done but that's it. I am NOT a huge girlie girl so wasn't sure if I would be all streaky or orange or turn my clothes colors but this was a beginners dream. I think the mitt makes it much more even and easy to use. It's my go to now and I doubt I will stop using it. I shower and use my loofah then either apply some lotion (if I feel like my skin is dry) or just put this on directly. Try it! You pretty much can't screw it up and you will feel like a princess.I don't review a lot of things but the L'Oreal sublime bronzer is fabulous so I felt like I needed to let beginners know to just go ahead and try this. Get a mitt to use too!

Is it just me, or are the Dark and Medium formulas actually the same, except the dark features a LOT more streaking?I LOVE this product. I crank through a tube a week. It’s long lasting and the color doesn’t make your skin look like it belongs to the 45th POTUS. ;) HOWEVER, the difference in results from the Med vs Dark formulation is striking (striping? Why am I a bronze zebra?)Yes, there’s also a little shimmer that Mariah Carey would enthusiastically approve, but it’s not so much that you look like you’re headed to a rave. It’s enough to make your skin look hydrated, and that 24K shimmer dissipates over time like so many Diva singing careers. (Not Mariah. She’s timeless, right?)The medium formula layers pretty nicely, if you need a touch-up. Like all bronzers with self-tan ingredients, apply evenly over freshly cleaned and exfoliated skin taking care to first lightly moisturize knees/elbows/feet/hands. (Lotioned-up hands will keep your palms from sucking up the bronzer before you wash it off. I mean, maybe spring for an application mitt. But they’re awkward and fall off, devour your expensive bronzer and fall apart after a month. Maybe find a good friend who isn’t judgey instead.)Since this tanner is also an instant bronzer - yay! Instant gratification! - you’ll be able to see where you’ve applied and where you might get streaky. (You’re probably naked and streaking as you do this anyway. It’s fine. The running naked in your house for about a minute is justifiable as bronzer needs a hot minute to dry before you get dressed. Carry on.)This doesn’t heavily transfer onto clothes the way most bronzer/self tanners will. If you sweat or swim, the bronzer will definitely melt away a bit and could get on clothing where it presses against the bronzer. It washes out easily in my experience. Don’t wear a white bikini in a hot tub tho’. (Do I need to even say that? That’s Adulting.) When you bathe after using this bronzer, you’ll notice a kind of slick film that washes off. (Is that what’s keeping it on my legs and off my clothes? It’s a mystery.)If you are an octopus or have otherwise contortionist-worthy arms, the slightly darker “dark” formula may apply more easily and with fewer streaks. If you have normal stick arms and a friend, the Medium formulation is a solid choice. It layers. It’s still bronze, gorgeous and will help with the illusion of perfectly even and glowy skin. It’s not as fun as a trip to Hawaii, but it’s also cheaper and doesn’t cause UV damage.Recommend.

I would only buy this in the tube. It goes on easily and quickly it is not sticky and you can get dressed right away. You can put it on every day or you can put it on just after you shower. It works great. I am a little bothered that it has sparkles in it, but you can barely see them and after you wear it the first day the sparkles pretty much diminished.
