Review: "This appropriately named cream smelled vaguely like chocolate and had the consistency and color of caramel pudding. Unfortunately, its promising name and luxurious feel didn't protect me from the inevitable dihydroxyacetone (DHA) smell. Tinted color made for easy, streak-free application. The cream took about five minutes to dry, though I waited 15 to get dressed. After about four or five hours, color looked medium/deep, slightly orange-y brown -- two shades darker than my light olive skin. I found that one application every three days best maintained the optimal golden glow. (But be careful; it can make cuticles brown for a few days.)" -- Lucy

I have tried the Jergen's gradual tan lotion before and it seems to work just fine on my skin. I definitely did not look orange at all. It was a nice, warm bronzed glow. It took 3 days of applying to see any results which was my only complaint but once that 3rd day rolled around, I saw a nice color on my skin!! I've also tried Sevin Nyne from Sephora. This was an aerosol spray tan that was a deep tan color once sprayed onto my skin. I think this spray worked awesome and I saw results as soon as I applied it!!!! It's a bit pricey but well worth the money if you're looking for instant tan results and no orange color.

I only tried one of these, it was by Lancome, and my skin looked absolutely ridiculous. I looked like an orange alien
