Terrible transfer issues, and I hope it washes out of my clothing…and car seats. You have to work very hard to avoid streaks. Nice shade, but overall not worth the drawbacks for a temporary look.

If I could give this 0 stars I would! It didn’t absorb, smells like self tanner, & anytime you sweat or get wet it runs & gets blotchy! It also transfer onto any light fabric! Would highly NOT recommend this product!

Bought this for my pasty self and it has a nice bronze color, it is not like self tanner which is orange. I do have to say, to me it smells very metallic. I read reviews that mentioned it smells like chocolate and could not agree less. However! Great color. I read mixed reviews on its blendability; I think it's great. My hair is very fine. I think that naturally, where I'm more furry, it needs more careful blending. Please consider adding a smell to counteract this at least to make it seem more neutral. *Thank you!*

Not my favorite. It’s very messy and gets on everything if your not careful. Also rubs off skin onto clothing etc. Doesn’t rub in or absorb well.

Instant Vacation Browning Lotion SPF 30 Body Sunscreen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried a million different products for bronzing over the years. Most did not have the added feature of a decent SPF. You would have to do your sunscreen first and then apply the bronzing lotion after. This product was good. It has an SPF 30, so not the strongest SPF but not bad either. The consistency is easy to apply. I would suggest applying on hydrated skin for a more uniform result. The color is brownish bronze and very complimentary. It’s pretty bold in color so expect very dark results. If you are fair or light medium mix it into your lotion or sunscreen for lighter application. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is that I didn’t love the degree of difficulty removing it from my hands post application. I use this at the beach and had to use a towel and water to remove it from my palms. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.
Bronzed Goddess Vibes

Have a vacation coming up in a few weeks so I ordered Instant Vacation to help maximize my tan leading up to the trip. When they say "instant" they mean it. I was also a little nervous that the SPF 30 might not be enough but I've had several HOT pool days using only this product and not only am I not sunburned, I have a gorgeous bronzed glow! Im pretty fair skin and while I am capable of a decent tan in the summer, this has taken it to a new level. Also want to note it doesn't come off orange at ALL. I was afraid of looking like a crazy spray tan victim and that is NOT the case. 5 out of 5 would absolutely recommend!
Wouldn’t repurchase

This is okay. It does bronze well, but you have to use a lot and it stains EVERYTHING it touches. My bathing suit and towels are stained and nothing will get it out. Besides that, it was okay at bronzing and blocking sunburn.
Looks great!

I bought this about a month ago and absolutely LOVE it! I don't care much for the smell, but the results are well worth having to deal with the smell. I highly recommend this lotion and I will definitely be buying again!!
Super cute packaging

Everything came very nicely wrapped, and the free pen was a nice touch. I haven’t used the browning lotion because I didn’t realize it’s not really for water usage- which I got it for the pool. The scent of the perfume is nice but doesn’t last very long.
Great color
