I've not tried a self-tanner for many years, probably because of bad experiences with the very early self-tanners - who can forget the yellow/orange hands and uneven "tans"?! This is different. I like that this goes on like any ol' moisturizing lotion, but then leaves you with just a very mild glow of a tan (though deeper ones are available if you want). I have rosacea, and sometimes a slight tan helps disguise it, but sun is actually a TRIGGER for rosacea, so this is a nice solution. Much more reasonably priced than many of the self-tanner/moisturizers out there. I do still find that I feel like I have to apply it, walk around the house and let it dry thoroughly first before putting clothes over it, but it's a small price to pay.

I never wear this scent without someone commenting on it. Even if I spritz it on in the early morning, by evening it still lingers. It is NEVER overpowering, stays a very delicate, light but noticeable scent, and it's very "fresh" smelling, not cloyingly sweet like many. Bulgari is NOT cheap, but it IS worth every penny.

I REALLY sweat - between an active job and a 2-hour gym session in the evenings I need a serious deodorant that has staying power. This stick has a very pleasant powder scent (some other brands have an overpowering powder!), and it stays with me all day long. Plus it's a GREAT price!

Bulgari is my guilty pleasure - forget how much it costs, it's SOOOOOO worth it! I just love the scent of the Bulgari blanc. It's neither overtly feminine nor masculine - a truly unisex fragrance. The soap in particular lingers nicely even after use. I keep one of these in my shower at all times. I just dip my spongee thingee across it to use it in the shower - lasts forever that way.

I have rosacea and was interested in this product for occasional outbreaks. It did OKAY... no overnight success or anything, and it was very DRYING. If I used it at night, I'd wake up in the morning with a tighter, more toned feeling face, but also FLAKING - lots of moisturizer is a must if using this product. Of all crazy things, I've had better luck using Pepto-Bismol (seriously, look it up) as a spot pimple treatment. It also has as it's base salycilic acid, same as this product.

I tried this product with great hopes. I have rosacea, and it's sometimes a challenge to conceal. I liked that this was advertised as only needing to use a little bit to cover - so NOT true. As other reviewers mentioned, it's quite messy to use and you have to use a brush and dip it only into the cap. But concealing properties weren't very high, and while the product applied well enough, a couple hours later it seemed to just GO AWAY. I quit using it after about a week of trying really hard to make it work.

This is hands down my favorite lotion. Unlike so many others that leave you feeling greasy or "slick," this stuff soaks right in almost immediately, softening and moisturizing without leaving you a shiny look - it's totally absorbed. The only moisturizer I use.

I used Got2B Chaotic forever until it was inexplicably discontinued, so I tried this as a substitute. It says it provides "chunky styles", but it's so waxy there's really no chance to style it into much of anything! You get waxy chunks, but no real body, and forget about running your hands through it - YUCK!! Not a keeper.

A product I'd used for years to add body and control to my baby fine hair got discontinued (GOT2B Chaotic), and I must have tried 20 different products before - thankfully!! - finding Fructis Bold It! Everything else I tried either didn't add any real body or made my hair so yucky/thick feeling I couldn't use it. This adds actual, REAL body to my limp hair. I add some in before blow-drying damp hair, blow dry, finger in a bit of gel and I'm good to go. DEFINITELY recommend!!
