Tan Inc. Brown Sugar Bare 99x Silicone Bronzer
Price:
$30.00 Amazon/eBay $65.00 Retail Review: This is one of the newest lotions from Tan Inc's Brown Sugar line. I was very excited to get this lotion in and try it out. The bottle claims 99x bronzers, but I did not see anything mentioned about DHA. I believe this lotion is a natural bronzing lotion. The color of the lotion is pinkish-beige. The consistency was absolutely perfect and applied very easily to the skin. It was not like Black Aura, which took several minutes to rub in. The smell of this lotion was very very strong, and I absolutely love how the scent stays on for hours after tanning. After using this lotion, I did not see too much of a color boost as the bottle described. In fact, I was disappointed that I was not an entire different skin tone when getting out of the tanning bed. As far as moisturizing, it excelled my expectations. My skin was so smooth and soft, smelt great, and looked absolutely amazing. I wanted to be darker, however. I used this lotion again a week after my first application and now, my skin is slightly darker after using it. This lotion is rather complex and really good for your skin, but I would recommend using it more than just once. Verdict: I am rating this lotion 2 out of 5. I am a sucker for Tan Inc's lotions, but this lotion fell short with bronzing. I love the smell, the consistency, and the overall outlook of my skin after using this lotion, but honestly, I am tanning to get darker, and I expect my lotions to take me to the next level. While I do love this lotion, I could not rate it as high on the scale as DS Luminary or Tan Inc's Brown Sugar Black Aura. |

$20.00 Amazon/eBay $50.00 Retail Review: I just got this lotion in the mail yesterday after wanting it for months. I LOVE Tan Inc's Brown Sugar products as they really are underrated and provide AMAZING results. The bottle is very..uhmmm...pink. The design is for a girl, but I still love it. It comes in the standard Tan Inc Brown Sugar type of bottle with the silver cap. The lotion is bright white because this is an accelerator. The lotion was very smooth and slick upon application and smells like the tropical skittles that I used to eat when I was younger. You can definitely pick up on the scent of berries and skittles. After my 15 minutes in the level 4 HP bed, I had zero ATO. I didn't notice color boost right then, and I wasn't disappointed since this lotion only cost me $20.00. I figured the results would be small if any. Once I got home, I changed my clothes and when I took off my shirt, I noticed I was noticeably darker. I was shocked. Normally, accelerators do not give me such a color boost. I then re-read the label for the lotion where it describes "sublime color." Upon waking the next morning, I was even darker. I am completely satisfied with this lotion, and my skin is so smooth! Verdict: Another amazing product from Tan Inc. This lotion deserves no less than a 5 out of 5 and I cannot recommend enough based on results and the very cheap price. My skin actually feels better and more moisturized as opposed to the normal dryness after tanning. I have the most faith in Tan Inc's Brown Sugar line and will continue to purchase their lotions. You cannot beat the results! |
Tan Inc. Brown Sugar Black Aura
Price:
$70.00 Retail $27.00 eBay Review: This is a 2011 product from Tan Inc's Brown Sugar line. The bottle reads "world's darkest tanning lotion" and after using it this week, the results I got really support this statement. The lotion itself is extremely white. I was expecting a brown-colored lotion like most of DS lotions, but this lotion did not follow that trend. The lotion smells much like Coconut & Hemp, but I did not smell any mango-scent as described on the Tan Inc website. This is the thickest lotion I have ever used, and the lotion describes it as having double amounts of Argan Oil and max silicones. Applying the lotion was slightly difficult due to how thick this lotion is. It took some minutes off of my tanning session due to the amount of time for me to rub this in. The lotion is not absorbed quickly into the skin, so i was a little moist from the lotion when I got into the bed. I used a Level 3 HP bed for 12 mins, and after the bed turned off, I noticed a large amount of sweat remaining on the bed. I am not sure if it the max silicones or double amount of Argan Oil, but this lotion really made me sweat. After I got out of the tanning bed, I did notice that I was slightly darker. My feet were a ton darker. My skin felt moisturized and very soft to the touch. I did not have ANY ATO, and the only scent lingering was the coconut/hemp smell from the lotion itself. I was shocked that I had no ATO!!! A couple of hours after tanning, is when I noticed how dark I had become. This is because this lotion contains DHA. My legs were SO dark thatI looked like a different ethnicity and my stomach had a very dark color to it as well. I was extremely impressed with my results. For a product containing DHA, I had absolutely no lingering ATO or DHA odor! Verdict: Without a doubt, this lotion deserves a rating of 5 out of 5. I cannot recommend this lotion enough! While it was very thick and slightly difficult to apply, the results were completely astonishing. I do not mind taking extra time to rub the lotion in since the results were so extraordinary. I plateaued lately with my other lotions, and this lotion did exactly as described "breaking plateaus." For $27, you cannot get better results. This to me, was better than ANY other lotion, even the Designer Skin lotions that I have tried that retail over $100. If you want a super dark tan, go buy this lotion. You will not regret it! This has become one of my favorites! |
