"Nice product"
I was very thrilled to get the chance to try this product. I'm not normally a self tanner but this product was very easy to use.
After exfoliation applying the tan was very easy and it smelled lovely to.
Instructions on the packaging were very clear, it gave a nice even coverage and was very easy to wash off, it is perfect for everyday use and priced very nicely to.

"Easy Squeezy!"
I don't usually self tan, but thought I would give this one a go. The price £1.99 is a bargain. I loved the smell, the texture was slightly odd at first, but easy to rub in and get a perfect finish. Make sure you exfoliate first and moisturise afterwards and you shouldn't have any problems. I was quite surprised how easy it was. It washes off easily, but doesn't come off on your clothing. I would definitely recommend to friends

"Fantastic stuff at a bargain price"
My skin I guess you could describe as medium (dark hair with blue eyes). I tend to keep some tan colour to my skin all year round and don't burn particularly easily, although I always wear skin protection in the sun.
First thing I noticed was the gorgeous smell - it's a cross between pineapple and coconut, very tropical.
So I followed the instructions and preped my skin (my only problem tanning area is my legs so I concentrated my trial on my legs) after taking a shower. Squeezed a blob on my hand and become extremely nervous after seeing the dark brown colour of the cream thinking that I was going to end up with dirty looking legs with an unnatural dark tan. I needn't have worried, after rubbing in well (keep rubbing to remove all streaks, it rubs in pretty easily - make sure you wash your hands straight away and don't get dressed until it's dry, as per instructions) all over my legs I was pleasantly surprised to see that my legs still looked very natural, not particularly tanned but with some colour - the colour then continued to show over the next couple of hours ending with a lovely natural looking tan with a healthy glow and lasted until my next shower, I can't be certain because I have been out in the sun but I think that perhaps my legs did retain some of the fake tan colour after showering, but I didn't have a problem with that and just applied more to keep the colour fresh.
My sister is blonde and finds is difficult to tan so I thought i'd recommend this to her as, more often or not, she uses all-over fake tans which don't suit her skin and turn out quite orange and streaky, often ending up dirty looking so then it's back to the drawing board and she has to try something else, usually having to spend a good few ££s. She said my legs looked very naturally tanned and she was stunned that after I stepped into the family paddling pool that I didn't have streaks when I got back out. So she too has gone off and bought this product to try and i'm pretty certain it will be just as good for her.
Best bit for me - I found this product at a well-known 'Bargains' store which sells lots of Home items for just 99p, at this price i'm prepared to buy it whenever I need and continue use. As someone who doesn't normally use fake tan because of some very bad experiences, and because i'm a cheap-skate and will not spend silly money on personal products, I am definitely converted. I recently picked up the Shimmer version, again for 99p, so looking forward to giving that a try too. There was also a Fake Bake version for the same price which was a clear cream that gradually adds colour while out in the sun so may also give that a go in the future too.
At this price this tanning product is definitely worth a go and i'm pretty certain that the majority will not be disappointed. Best product test i've had for personal use in a long time and a brilliant find! Thank you!!

"summer hit "
I use fake alot so was very excited to try this :) i did all the prep for the tan and applyed it the smelll is lovely some tans u use have a chemical smell but not this one is smells like you have just got out the bath. When i first sqeezed it out i was thinking it was going yo be do dark but no it was justr perfect. The only draw back was thta it was that easy to come off it came off when washing hand from goin to the loo and washing up dishis :( Next time i think i would only use this one for a girls night out and avoid getting wet in any way. But for £1.99 i would be buying again great value for money x

"Instant tan"
I am not a big fan of instant tan products, especially that my natural skin tone is very light. So, it is with some trepidation that I appplied a very thin layer of Glow n Go instant tan matte.
When you squeeze it out of the tube, it looks dark and chocolate-coloured, and comes in a gel-like consistency. It applies easily and gives an even coverage. The skin tone immediately acquired a darker tint. The perfume is a bit too strong and artificial to my personal taste. On the plus side, it is matte, doesn't give an unnatural shine to skin that you often see on young ladies who overdid their tanning products; the tan wasn't greasy and washes off well. I guess, it is a good instant tan for those ladies who like this kind of products. It is suitable for all types of skin.
So, if you worry that it might leave you looking like a Katie Price lookalike, set your mind at easy: you won't.
I score it 4/5 for the ease of use because you need to prepare your skin for the application, i.e. exfoliate or cleanse, plus add a moisturiser afterwards, and if you are a busy Mum, you might not have enough time for all the steps early in the morning.

"Smells So Yummy It Makes You Want To Lick It Off!!!"
I only wish I had had this last month as I unfortunately got some nice tan lines before my sisters wedding and this would have made a perfect cover up.
If you are used to using tanning products (which I am!) then preparation is simple (exfoliating etc), its so easy to apply although looks very dark when it comes out the tube. But it gones on evenly and gives you a natural bronzed look. The smell is to die for and just one sniff has me on a sun longer in the south of France!!! It didn't leave me orange or too dark, just perfect.
This is so much better than a self tan as it gives you a natural bronzed look that can be washed off and at £1.99 you can hardly go wrong.
A five star tanning product.

"Easy to use tanning lotion"
I've never used self-tanning lotion before and found this one very easy to apply. It smells great-slightly coconutty and reminds me of suntan lotion. The colour of the tan at the end result was quite dark for my skin tone and did not look natural for me. This may be a result of being quite pale or the fact Im not used to using self-tanning lotion. I found it washed off quickly which was a bonus. The price of it at £1.99 I thought was a bargain and I would recommend this probably for people who use self-tan regulary but I personally wouldn't use it again.
