True Blue Spa Shade to Order, $18.50 Form: Lotion
Tester rating: Good
Review: "I loved True Blue Spa Shade to Order's concept of dialing your desired level of color before applying. I have a very light olive skin tone with freckles, so I chose to start at No. 4 on the dial. I made sure to exfoliate and shave beforehand and to be consistent with my application. The directions read to pump until I saw the lotion and color combine but the lotion stayed white despite my pumping for what seemed like forever. So instead of wasting more product I just went for it. It definitely worked. I really liked the color that I obtained and didn't think it looked orange at all. I saw a difference within a few hours and even more so the next day -- without applying more. By day three, I noticed some streaky areas, but I would still use this product again. And I actually liked the smell, which I can only describe as a combo of musk and coconut. (Be sure you like it because it lasts the majority of the day.) -- Sandra

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
