Good but Not the Best, June 14, 2010
This review is from: Extended Vacation Moroccan Mineral - Dark Self-Tanning Lotion (Health and Beauty)
As a model, I have always been on the hunt for the perfect self-tanner. I am fair to light skinned with pink undertones, but need a good bronze glow. I read the reviews, and was looking forward to trying out this product. I do not tan in the sun or tanning beds for health purposes, therefore in the past I have tried literally a hundred (or more!) self-tanners to find those that provide even, DARK color (my first priority), easy application (second- I'm always in a hurry!) minimal smell (a bonus, really) and cost (don't mind paying for quality, however). My FAVORITE product by leaps and bounds has been Quick Tan by Body Drench- an affordable spray that is available here on Amazon. Beautiful dark color, quick application and smells delicious! However, despite my various methods of creating a tan-safe zone, I would always stain the floors and surrounding areas from the overspray. So I figured I'd give a lotion another try. My feelings about Extended Vacation Moroccan Mineral Dark Self- Tanning product is as follows:
*Messy Application, must apply with gloves, however fairly easy to apply.
I also disklike that I have to apply it at night (or anytime that I have six hours
to kill before I wash it off.)
*Decent Color- Very Natural (But not dark enough for what I was hoping for, even
with multiple applications)
*Smells Good
*Fades Naturally
*Moisturizes
*Try not to sweat during the six hours- my A/C broke during my third use and
I had some sweat marks on my chest. However, I have found this to apply to all self
tanners I've used.
All in all, a decent product and good for someone really striving for that "natural" glow, but in my opinion not worth the cost.

Good Stuff, but expensive, May 11, 2010
This review is from: Extended Vacation Moroccan Mineral - Dark Self-Tanning Lotion (Health and Beauty)
This stuff really works. It gives you more of a brown, than orange color. I have naturally light skin, but tan super fast. One application gave me good color. I did find that it smells like the cheap stuff as it is developing. One other issue. The stuff has brown dye in it that helps you get it everywhere. It is a little un nerving at first, but you don't miss spots. It is very dark color, streaky not subtle or natural looking. I put the stuff on in the early afternoon and realized I had to leave the house later...opps. You aren't supposed to shower for 6 hours, so I had to go out looking like a freak. Good news is when you shower the dye rinses away and leaves a great looking tan. Not sure how long it will last though hopefully long like it claims because of the cost. It took about 1/4 of the bottle and I'm only 5 ft avg weight. I did paint realistic tan lines as well. Give it a try...best sunless tanner I've used...most expensive as well.

Realllly good!!, March 24, 2010
This review is from: Extended Vacation Moroccan Mineral - Dark Self-Tanning Lotion (Health and Beauty)
Finally a self-tanning lotion that allows you to have this really nice tan without looking like you applied one of those self-tanning lotions. Other lotions I have tried so far indeed resulted in somewhat of a tan but never quite the dark and natural tanned look that you come home with from your week on the beach in the Caribbean. I love this one, I applied it about a week ago and today I still look like I just got off the plane from Aruba.
Love it !!
