Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

First off before i jump into this review (since i have a lot to say), let me note this is coming from someone who already had a decent tan prior to using bombshell. By 'decent tan', i mean about a nice medium golden colour. I wasn't incredibly brown or anything and was stuck in a tanning plateau (which is so annoying). When people in reviews say they're "dark now", their level of dark usually goes unspecified so you're left kind of clueless since they don't bother to explain what they started out as before using a lotion. I feel explaining that gives a better idea of the product's true potential. I just tried this today in a lvl 3 bed for 10 minutes, and man I am the darkest i have been in a long time. Brown, not orange. It smells the same after tanning as you first put it on but no gross smell. Has a cherry scent. The lotion is pretty moderate in terms of the tingle factor. It was hot but, not unbearable. And I was overestimating it a bit. It actually isn't that bad. I personally enjoy feeling hot when i tan, because I actually feel im getting a good tan. Afterwards, i was really pink and felt hot. I didn't feel burnt or tingly. Just my skin was warm to touch for a bit. Lasted about 4-6 hours then i was good. I also want to point out how much i liked that it dried pretty fast after i applied it. Id say about a good 45 seconds. I hate having to wait for lotion to dry before i can get in the bed. Sometimes with other lotions, i have to dance around or accumulate some kind of air flow because the lotion takes forever to dry. And its annoying. I know im not the only one who has that issue. The consistancy was smooth and not thick. I didn't have to empty half the bottle to cover my whole body. A little covers a good amount of surface area. That's a plus which means it'll last a lot longer. I was already tan when i started using this, but was majorly stuck in a plateau for a while which is what made me buy this lotion. I read if you're in a plateau and are having trouble getting darker, try a good tingle lotion. I got this one because of that reason and also partly because i am not a fan of cheap lotions whatsoever. They do nothing but waste my time and money. It sort of reminds me of the tattoo saying "cheap tattoos aren't good and good tattoos aren't cheap". A good lotion will not be cheap. Flat out. Especially if you're already tan, and are looking to get darker, you'll need to spend a little extra but this one was definitely worth it. If you're hesitant, please don't be. Its worth the money and gives a very deep brown tan. As for people just trying to build a base tan, i would not recommend using this to do that only because it is not for that. This is to trigger a richer tan after you got the base tan going on. Use something milder to build that good base tan before moving up to this. You will just end up burning yourself badly and it doesn't matter how much you don't burn easily. Everyone still does and CAN. Also, don't ever use a tingle lotion on your face. You'll cause blood vessels to break under the skin since its so delicate. Not a good idea. Overall, Bombshell is a major plus lotion and I am a very pleased customer. Seriously. Buy it. You won't regret it.
