stars is hard to get from me but this one deserves it [SEP] got to say i never have used self tanning lotion mostly due to the horrible results i have seen on friends so just trying this took a monument of a moment and that is what happened so i am browsing amazon looking at what others had to say and after a long process i end up on darksyde after reading and comparing the reviews to other more expensive brands i decided i would give this one a shot since the price was decent compared to the others the thing i like best is it goes on dark you can see everywhere you put it while your putting on this alone should eliminate streaks it does lighten up soon after and just as the instructions said became a even shade everywhere it wads placed the same day it was visible by at least shades where i put lotion and did not so break the bank if your looking for a nice even non orange tan you will be happy i would like to side comment that i used the thermalabs self tanning mitt whenever appling
