California TanAqueous Kiss - Dark Tan Builder

I bought this to start tanning again to build my base and it did exactly that. It was easy to apply and I loved the scent. As for toning and etc I wouldn't say that is the reason I bought it and didn't notice anything (I didn't expect to either). However as Level 1 tan builder it is great and I get lots of compliments on the scent (not heavy perfume just a natural nice smell). I love it and will buy again. I don't use bronzers (I am scared to get into them because of my natural skin tone but I tan nice and dark so don't feel I need the bronzer for my look) so this is why this one was great.

I wanted to love this(I'm a long time CT girl), but it just didn't work for me. I build a base pretty easily even for being so fair skinned, and I usually see a dramatic difference within the first 3-4 sessions using CT lotions without the bronzers. Didn't happen with this one. I also want to point out the fragrance. It wasn't bad, a cool/marine scent, but after using it a while I found it smelled like something that might be better for a man, oh and definitely post-tan smell. Have to mention too, it felt like it sat more on top of the skin...sticky and tacky rather than smooth, didn't really absorb into the skin. I really wanted to try and love this one, but it just didn't make the cut compared to the other CT lotions.

Gives you a beautiful tan color, nice and smooth

LOVE this stuff! Good price compared to at a salon. Works well as a tan builder, but I just use it because it smells SO good!
