I actually did not use this on my body, but rather the face. I switched from this to the Jergens Healthy Glow Face w/SPF 20, and at first I was in love, but alas, it didn't last long! This one gives COLOR, which is exactly what I wanted. I have used the medium/tan version and it is just perfect. Definitely give it a try! Jergens doesn't make bad gradual tanners at all and there is almost always a coupon. :)

**** 4/14/12: I have changed my rating from 4 to 6. I have gotten used to the application process and the heavier amount of spray that comes out of the nozzle, but the smell is still pretty bad. Typically, I will put on a tanner at night and the smell is gone by morning. This is not the case with this one. It smells all the time. The color is nice, but it tends to fade in patches. Better options out there. **** I have been in love with the BB Summer Color line for just about forever! I was recently out of town and thought it would be easier to take the spray version rather than the lotion. In this case, I was wrong. This is the second spray tanner I have used, so in a way I am comparing it to the Loreal version, which is an okay product but not fantastic in itself. First, I did a test spray into the air then started to apply to my body. The Loreal spray is a very fine mist while the BB spray saturates your skin. You really have to be careful not to overdo it. Now, the worst part about this spray is that it never really feels dry. I put it on at night and was watching an hour long tv show, waiting for it to dry. With the lotion, it is less than 10 minutes. With the spray, it still felt tacky and sticky an hour later. I finally gave up and went to bed. I then woke up a few hours later and went to check in the mirror. I had a few splotches around my neck area. I used a washcloth and was able to remove them quite easily. I was also starting to notice the strong, typical self-tanner smell which is almost non-existant in the BB lotion version. (As a side note, when first applying the spray, I really didn't like the "lime" smell. It was a lot like lime + bug spray, but better than the Loreal smell.) When I woke up in the morning, most of the tan was even. I had a few splotches here and there that I will need to correct, but overall the color is nice. However, the application for me personally, was too difficult. I prefer tanners that work really well and are "idiot-proof." The lotion version is that way - a blind person could put it on with no streaks. I think this product would work better if the mist was finer. Next time I will use I will make sure not to overapply. However, I did read some of the reviews that say they are only getting 3-4 tans out of a can and I am getting more. Maybe I am not overapplying as much as I think. All in all, I do prefer the Loreal version to this, but with Loreal, you really will get only 3-6 cans per bottle but I prefer the color and ease of application to the BB spray. I will definitely be sticking with my "go-to" BB lotion version.

I bought this eyeshadow due in Desert Mesa, which ironically, I was buying for the Mesa! Teehe. I recently went on a trip to Arizona and was armed with this shadow, some lotion shimmer and self-tanner and looked every bit the bronze goddess. This eyeshadow was amazing; it stood up in the heat (with NO primer!) and the colors are truer than true, if that is even possible. I would absolutely buy this product again, and I love this Desert Mesa Duo - perfect for the spring and summer months, or a great vacation color. A must have!

I have the non-SPF version that comes in a blue bottle - I was not aware it came with a 40 SPF! I bought a small bottle at Ulta to try and I should have bought the larger bottle. This product is just about perfect! The shimmer is exactly how it should be - subtle and beautiful, and not glittery in the least. The only reason I did not give it a 10 is the price point (as the reviewer mentioned), and mine came in Coconut Papaya and I would have liked just a hint more fragrance in it. I would absolutely buy again. I am thrilled with this product!

I tried the Giovanni Smooth as Silk Shampoo and really liked it! The conditioner, however, is not as good. I thought it would work well since I just get a little dry on the ends, but my hair is not frizzy or unruly as the bottle says. I applied it in the shower and even though the bottle didn't say, I left it on for about a minute or so. My hair felt a bit tangly. When I rinsed, it was sort of knotted in places. I squeezed my hair out when I got out of the shower and ran a comb through it, starting at the ends. It was definitely tangly. Not good in my opinion! Unfortunately, since I am one of those people that has to have "matching" shampoo and conditioner brands/lines, I will not be buying the conditioner or shampoo again, even though the shampoo version is great.

My mom went crazy over the tea tree oil shampoo and bought for the whole family! I tried the moisturizing shampoo and really like it a lot. It suds very well,especially for sulfate free, but to admit, it makes me wonder why. I have tried so many drugstore and high end sulfate free brands, and none have lathered as well as this! For those that are interested, there are also USDA organic ingredients used, plus no animal testing, and I think it is vegan friendly as well. I just like that it feels so nice! You can tell how moisturized it is when it comes out of the bottle. I wish I liked the conditioner version just as much.

I have tried many mid-level cleansers (Clinique, Cetaphil) and even high-end ones (Glytone) - this takes the cake and at a STEAL of a price! My skin is combo/oily in the spring summer and combo/dry in the fall/winter. My skin is left looking amazingly clean and clear and NO drying or tightness, which is so important for me. I still cannot believe that this face wash is under $6. I had tiny underground pimples on both cheeks that even the Glytone could not clear up and I noticed this morning that they are barely noticeable! This cleanser is also keeping my blackheads in check and out the door. The reviews on this product are phenomenal; google it and see. Fabulous! A must have product!

I purchased a few of these at a local Bath and Body Works when they were on sale. I was able to get the tinted one, plus a cider mint (nice for the Fall!). I really do like these lip glosses - they are ultra shiny, not sticky at all, and look pretty on anyone. However, for me, I am always watching my money, and there are other glosses out there that have the same qualities, minus the mint. All in all, very nice.

I went to get a facial at my Derm office and the nurse suggested this to help with my blackheads, which I have been battling for over 15 years. My skin is combo/dry and I use a 15% glycolic acid moisturizer in the evening, or Retin-A. I usually go back and forth for both anti-aging and clear skin. Perhaps with the cleanser and glycolic acid moisturizer it was just too much. She was aware of what I was using on my skin, so maybe it was just the cleanser. I really don't know. All I know is that it caused dry, flaky skin in particular on my forehead. The cost was $30 and for something that rinses down the drain, I have such a hard time spending that amount of money. Thank goodness they are allowing me to return it!

I must say, I am much more of a fan of lipgloss than lipstick, and I was not impressed at all with this. My mom orders from Avon and received a sample gloss called Peach Fizz that she gave to me. The color was pretty - a pinky peach with gold flecs, similar to MAC Nymphette. Unfortunately, that was where the "love affair" ended! The texture is almost like a liquid lipstick; a bit drying for a "gloss." I prefer a slick and shiny look and this was very matte. Not necessarily drying enough to where I needed lip balm underneath, but I did end up putting a shiny gloss over the top. The taste and smell is odd and frankly there are so many better options than this. I would not buy this.
