Let me tell you, I have a crazy self tanner history (as many of us do) and a few years ago I tried L'oreal's Gradual Tanner and it turned me TANGERINE ORANGE. I swore I would stay away from L'oreal products. From then on, I became obsessed with finding the perfect self tanner (for me anyways). What I want (and many others) from a self tanner is first THE COLOR. It HAS to be natural. Second is the staying power, I exercise and play sports a lot so It has to be able to stay. And thirdly, no smell. That's just a dead giveaway. So I finally found after many drugstore self tanners & beauty shop self tanners, my favorite mainly because of the color, which was Tomas Total Tan from [@] (identical to Fake Bake). The only thing I HATED about it was that after I exercised it would come off so easily! Also, it turned my chest like a funky green color, which was not attractive. I guess it didn't react well with my sweat. So then I was on a hunt AGAIN to find a GOOD self tanner.I read so many reviews on self tanners on Youtube and sites like these. I started gravitating towards the L'oreal line. I was hearing so many positive things about it and I was like chances are, it's as good as people say because there's not that many negative reviews. So I went to Walmart, picked up the Gelee in Medium Natural Tan, and the Luminous Bronzer. I tried the Medium Natural first.First, in the bottle it looks tinted orange, but in fact it is not. Its almost a clear gel, which may be a problem for beginners, but I found it was VERY easy to rub in and apply, but it's kind of a lie when they say quick dry. But I've found ways around that such as doing it in light layers, or mixing my regualr body lotion with it. It also says color developes in an hour, I beleieve it does, but just not on ME. It takes me a few coats to get a nice bronze color. The color is FABULOUS. I found that even though its not tinted, if I apply at night and take a shower in the morning, the color looks better. Excess buildup of DHA may look a little more orange. EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE EXFOLIATE before putting this on! A MUST! Also, you HAVE to moisturize! It will help the tan last longer and also help the color, which is a beautiful BRONZE- NO ORANGE color. It has the most brown/bronze undertones I've seen in any self tanner. The smell is almost non-existent, and really is after your first shower. I've done a whole weeks worth of two hour workouts and volleyball with this on and IT STAYED! I was SO surprised! It was GREAT! Didn't turn me any funky colors either! So overall this self tanner is GREAT! And CHEAP! And it's so easy to find because they sell it at like EVERY drugstore. BEST drugstore self tanner there is. Period. And THE BEST I'VE EVER USED! When I was standing next to all my girls, I was the same exact shade of tan as them. (a few notes: I'm not a fair-skinned girl in summer, I'm medium with golden undertones, so I can't speak for the fair-skinned, but I would try this product anyways! Also, I have yet to dry Medium Deep, but I'm pretty satisfied with this color.) Also ladies, this is VERY IMPORTANT. Do NOT use a body lotion that has Mineral Oil (Petrolum), Stearic Acid, or Triethanolamine. They do not react with DHA well (high pH levels). They WILL give you a orange glow or tint. This even applies if it's IN your self tanner. Find an all natural body lotion.

You have to be so careful. My legs are currently streaked and orange colored (after using it about 4 times-I didn't want to judge prematurely). My arms look pretty good after using it- but they were tan to begin with. This also fades unevenly, so some parts of my legs, stomach, and shoulders are still tan while others are not. It makes me look like I have a skin condition. Another gripe is that it takes awhile to dry. I want a natural looking tan so I might try a spray formula-at least it's safer for my skin than laying out.

Comments about L'Oreal Paris Sublime Self-Tanning Gelee, Medium Natural, 5 fl oz: This has a good color for my very fair skin. It's not real dark so that it doesn't blend in well because I mostly use it on my legs, all seasons to keep them tan. I usually use a bronzer on my face. I really like this gelee better than the lotion. I used to use the lotion LOreal, but when I found this, I liked it better. It spreads so easily and if you keep rubbing around your skin a couple of times, you will be sure to get it even. Just rub it in real well till it's dry, then it's applied even. Also, I like that it is not real smelly. It dissipates quickly except sometimes when you really sweat hard you may smell a little of the chemical smell but it is better than most I've found. I once used a natural one and I smelled fruity & floral which I didn't like. I use this every couple of days and it has a very natural look--not orange. I find that I can put this on after a bath very quickly & it drys in about 15 mins. while I'm putting on deodorant and then I can put on my pants with no problem with rub-off. I think it drys quicker than the lotion. This also comes in towels but their real stinky and it came out real dark and orange. So, this product is really the best. Also, it isn't full of parabens like Tantowels. I like that! Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend (2 of 2 customers found this review helpful) Was this review helpful?

Comments about L'Oreal Paris Sublime Self-Tanning Gelee, Medium Natural, 5 fl oz: I am 49 yrs old and stopped tanning my face when I was 26 years old. Use sunscreen for face and no tanning face in tanning bed. 1 time a year I'll have a tan on the rest of body. This product is wonderful - makes my face "appear" tan and goes very nicely with my skin tone. It does not have to be used every day - just when you want that fresh sun glow - I use a base make-up and a face bronzer powder (Lancome) to compliment the look. Face is not orange or streaky Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend (1 of 1 customers found this review helpful) Was this review helpful?

Comments about L'Oreal Paris Sublime Self-Tanning Gelee, Medium Natural, 5 fl oz: I have tried many self tanner's and found L'Oreal's gives the most natural tan. I use L'Oreal's Sublime Bronze Gelee once a week and I use the Sublime Glow lotion every day. Also, to keep hands, feet, knees and elbows getting too dark I rub a small amount of vaseline in the palms of my hands, then over the tops of my hands/wrist area and then on my feet, knees and elbows. I have no streaks or dark patches. I have very fair skin which doesn't tan and this self tanner give's me a nice tan.

Comments about L'Oreal Paris Sublime Self-Tanning Gelee, Medium Natural, 5 fl oz: #1 - You DO need to Exfoliate your whole body and shower... #2-I put lotion on my whole body #3 then apply the Loreal Gelee to my entire body it doesn't take alot, but you need to pay attention how you are applying it,"evenly". I put it on my Face Last after i put my moisturizer on. Wash my hands good. Then I take my hair dryer and dry my whole body. I don't put any clothes on until I dry my hair and fix it. But you do need to exfoliate with a body sponge is the key!!and also use lotion eveyday to make it last and look good. I use the Gelee once a week I am Med complextion.

Cons Best Uses Comments about L'Oreal Paris Sublime Self-Tanning Gelee, Medium Natural, 5 fl oz: I've used a number of more expensive self-tanning products and the L'Oreal works well for me. I exfoliate in the shower, dry off well and then apply to my legs. I find that it takes about 24 hours to obtain a decent looking color. And what is also nice, is that it doesn't rub off onto my clothing. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend (1 of 2 customers found this review helpful) Was this review helpful?
