Fast, Flawless, and So Hydrating!
This tanning foam is everything I wanted and more. The magenta undertone gives such a rich, deep tone that looks natural and glowy—not orange or patchy at all. It develops beautifully in just one hour, but I’ve also left it on longer for a deeper result and had no issues.What I really love is how hydrating the formula feels—it doesn’t dry out my skin like other express tans. The foam goes on smoothly, blends easily, and doesn’t cling to dry spots. The color payoff is even and lasts several days without looking dull. It’s become my go-to for last-minute events or vacation prep. Total game changer!

Good for Fair/Cool skin tones
I'll be really honest, Im always really skeptical when it comes to self tanner. Im a red head with very fair skin and plenty of freckles. I've tried so many tanners over the years and while ive been able to tolerate some, every single one has always made me orange and always fade leaving weird orange spot randomly over my body. Not to mention, how concentrated it always looked around my elbows, knees, ankles, wrists and fingers; even applying the smallest amounts. This, though...at first I was a little worried with the color while applying it (almost looked like my skin was bruised) I left it over night and was very surprised how great it looked in the morning, even after a shower. Didnt have any issues with transfer on my sheets or clothing and it wasn't orange. It looked like a natural, sunkissed tan (I burn terribly and dont tan at all) It applied very evenly all over my body even on my elbows, knees, etc. It lasted a little over a week for me and it faded pretty decently, not leaving any harsh lines while doing so. Overall, Im pretty impressed with this.

Best self tanner ever, better than a spray tan
I have tried at least 5 or 6 self tanners prior to this as well as a professional spray tan and this brand is the very best one yet. This brand came highly recommended by 2 of my coworkers. I do not tan. I burn and peel and then I am pale again. This stuff is great. Worth every penny. I put it on last Sunday and slept in it before showering off in the morning. Nothing came off on my blue sheets and my skin was a nice tan color. 6 days later and it’s faded nicely. Still a decent amount of tan left but has faded out nicely compared to some previous fake tans that faded out splotchy. The application was very even. I haven’t done anything to make it last either. I shower daily, moisturize, and shave regularly and it still looks even and somewhat tan. Best self tanner that I have tried so far. The only thing to be aware of is the smell. The smell is very strong. I could smell it even after showering the first day. It’s not a bad smell per se but not a pleasant smell.

New favorite
I’m violently Caucasian to the point of being almost translucent with cool undertones. I’ve tried so many self tanners over the years and usually end up orange. Even the violet based ones usually end up making me look orange or they just don’t work. I bought this on a whim and received it today and am absolutely blown away with the results. I was a bit thrown off by the bottle because it said to twist and I did and then the top came off and now there’s some tan juice on my bathroom floor BUT besides that, this tan is so so good. It goes on smooth, dries down almost immediately so make sure you work fast, isn’t sticky, and somehow blends seamlessly into the places you aren’t tanning so you don’t get those intense lines. I don’t love to tan my feet and hands so when I’m done with my body I use whatever’s left over on the mitt to lightly go over them and after waiting for 2ish hours and rinsing, everything blends. No streaks, no harsh lines, and the blue undertone matches my skin tone so well it looks exactly the way I look when I get a real tan. I saw some reviews that said it’s not very dark which is true but honestly I just want to glow.. not change my ethnicity via self tan. If you’re the color of printer paper naturally, a subtle glow is really all you need. Overall I’m extremely pleased with this product and will update on it’s longevity, how it holds up with working out and sweaty summer heat and if it layers okay. I’m hoping I’ll only need to use it once a week but I can’t form any opinions on that until some time has passed.

Lies.
Horrible. Sticky. Stinky. Most important, it doesnt work at all even when left on over night. Washed right off the next day. I am an avid self tanner and this is the worst I have ever used. I can't believe I paid this much for such a terrible product.

17 years of fake tanning and I finally found my holy grail.
As a self-proclaimed self-tan expert (translation: I’ve been faking a glow longer than some influencers have been alive), I can confidently say the Bondi Sands Magenta Tanner is elite. The color payoff is unreal — not orange, not muddy, just the perfect rich golden-magenta undertone that makes me look like I spent a month in Ibiza instead of my bathroom.The mousse glides on like velvet, blends flawlessly even around tricky areas (hands/knees/ankles), and the scent is actually bearable — dare I say… enjoyable? It dries fast without that sticky “I can’t sit on my couch” phase and develops into a deep, even glow that lasts DAYS with a graceful fade (no weird snake skin peeling here).From one pale girl with 17 years in the fake bake trenches — this one is 100% worth the hype.

Not very dark
The product goes on smooth, dries quickly, and has no significant smell. It did not transfer to clothing once dry and has a convenient color marking so you can see any missed spots during application.However, it is not very dark. When leaving on for one hour as the directions state, I saw no difference whatsoever. The included photo is after the product was on the right leg for 7 full hours before rinsing off. There is a subtle, warm tan but not the “dark” as described.If you’re only looking for a soft tan, this product is great; if you’re hoping to look like you actually got to use your PTO days at the beach, this isn’t the one
