Dark \'n Dazed

[meltdbutta]

Dark 'n Dazed by Emerald Bay is one of my favorites for this Spring...
It has a great scent, and goes on well...
I feel it not to be quite as moisturizing as other lotions, but Total Immersion is used for this dilema...

try it, you will love it!

I love this stuff, it's my 1st choice if I can't shower after tanning and have to go somewhere, but I do think it is pretty moisturizing. I think this is probably a good one for men too because it smells good without being all fru-fru like.

[jamaicajo]

I have tried almost every after tan lotion there is and the only one that I really love is Hempz. I use it everyday after I get out of the shower.

[Laurel]

I just started tanning for the first time in several years and just tried Dark N' Dazed and absolutely love it. I agree it isn't very moisturizing, but I use Total Immersion to solve that.

[Strnghrt]

Wish my salon had total immersion in the bottle for sale, so far they only have little testers but it goes a long way. it beats Body Drench hands down!

[blackeyed susan]

Dark'n Dazed is great! Have you tried Synergy's Go Dark? Nice feel, great low maintence bronzer and just the right amount of tingle. Price is right too. Well worth a try!

Ask your salon if they would special order a full size bottle for you...

Total Immersion is on my list of moisturizers to try next!

[meltdbutta]

Def. will not be disapointed...

I really didn't care for the D-n-D because of the moisture issue!

[Anya1976]

moisture issue? what moisture issue my skin felt awesome after using it

[colorgod]

WELL MINE DIDN"T

I don't care for D-n-D at all. The smell is great, but I didn't care for the rest!

[Laurel]

My skin usually feels soft and silky after using D n'D also, but everyone's skin is a little different. I don't look scaly like I used to when I tanned years ago.

[Tan Larue]

Strnghrt,

If your salon is selling small size bottles, this means they have seperated gift with purchase items [those small botles should be coming with a bottle of tanning lotion]. Tell them not to be cheap and get the big bottle in there!

[Mitzi]

EB line is drying to me. I also have several clients that have brought this to my attention..

[njchica]

Mojo dries my skin out badly... I haven't tried any other lotions from Emerald Bay and I don't plan to...

[star]

and i thought it smelled way too sweet, i don't like baking-scented lotions most of the time.

[tr0nado]

I just bought Dark 'n Dazed today
So far as a non tingle lotion, I like it and its scent. I'll use it to get my base tan and probably go back to a tingle afterwards...

[colorgod]

[Anya1976]

[tr0nado]

Dark and Dazed seemed to go well with me also.

[colorgod]

WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT IT TRONADO?

[NCtanmom]

I plan to buy this one I am still using smoke hot but want something different...

[nikptbo]

im using definatley dark by EB right now, i wanna get another type from the EB line, am i sensing a thumbs up for dark and dazed or down???

[njchica]

Someone gave me the EB Cocoa Butter.... I tried it this morning as my moisturizer after showering. (it's a DHA bronzer) It left my skin alright in terms of moisture but major gross DHA smell! ew! I haven't smelled a bronzer that bad since Nuvo Bronze's Cocoa Bronzing Creme. I will be giving this one away asap.

[colorgod]

Even though I don't care for it, many would give it a thumbs up. It does have a good scent, and many feel it's moisturizing. Also, the price is not bad at all.

[Greta]

I am not sure about dark and dazed, but I love the definitly dark....

[Anya1976]

i really like DND so i'd say thumbs up

[meltdbutta]

Cocoa Butter smells really good to me...
I don't remember an after tan odor...
Lemme look into it...

melty

[colorgod]

Melty, describe Cocoa Butter for me.

[nikptbo]

sweet maybe ill buy a sample of the DND when i go tannign next time, which unfortunatley wont be until friday when i get paid, lol im out of minutes...

[colorgod]

def. sample it.

[nikptbo]

apparently i asked the girls at my salon and if u buy a sample, and then buy a bottle of that product next visit they discount the price of the sample from the bottle..

[sunbunny]

I love dnd. It's moisturizing to me. Way better than def dark.

[meltdbutta]

CoCoa Butter...

Rich...
Thick...
Moisturizing...
Sweet...Reminds me of the entrance to HERSHEY PARK!!!

[Greta]

Melty, Sweet? Now that's not an adjective that came to my mind.

[colorgod]

Melty, I was still on D-N-D. SORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RRRRRY! Thanks for answering my question, though.

[meltdbutta]

hah...
No prob...

melty

PS...SCOOBY DOO's on Again!!!

[KIMMYB]

I can't wait to try Dark n Dazed. I here so many good things about it.

[blondie]

I did not get good color from Dark n Dazed. I will not be buying this again. It was moisturizing though.

[KIMMYB]

I don't know what to do now. It seems like a either you love it or hate it lotion.

[colorgod]

To me, D-n-D seems like a good lotion to start out the tanning season with. It's a great Step 1 product. However, if you are expecting major color results, it's not going to happen.

[nikptbo]

what do you recommend then for someone like me who has been going in the salons for maybe 6 weeks now, using def dark rgiht now, canything i might try to give more colour results?

[colorgod]

You might want to try a light bronzer or/and a light tingle.

[nikptbo]

hmm, ill think about it, im not sure if i wanna go the bronzer route..(fear of streaks) and i dunno about tingle, like how hot do u get with it? and how do you make sure ur not getting over exposed with a tingle?

[colorgod]

You will want to start off with a low tingle! Search for tingles and read what others say about it.

Ginger Spice is a low tingle new this year from CT.

[nikptbo]

i tried to DND today, it was great, love the smell, im not sure if i like the consistency though...

[Laurel]

I love the smell of DND also

Not too thick nor too thin. Goes on great. I like its smell. It's compatible with my skin, meaning, it doesn't dry me out. And, its relatively cheap compared to some others out there. So, it works for me

EB makes a mild tingle/bronzer and it is Dark Kickin' Ale. I use it on days when I don't use DND. You might want to sample it too.

[RayP]

Just bought a bottle of Dark'n Dazed. It really helped my base tan and i like the smell. I didnt notice any problmes with the moisture though.

[Hyperion]

I've been looking for a good non-tingle, non-bronzing lotion to work on my base tan (currently using Cal Tan Maxlotion) and this one sounds good and seems to have a lot of fans here, so I think my next purchase will be Dark'n Dazed.

[DarkNDazed15]

hyperion the darkndazed has a bronzer in it ...if u like the maxlotion you will like the Cal Tan Helix.

[Hyperion]

I just saw this post...I don't think you are right about this....I hope not, because I just ordered some and I don't want a bronzer...and as for the CalTan, yes I am using Maxlotion, but I don't really like it, and Helix, I believe that is a step 2 lotion and I am still working the base tan...and anyways, I will NEVER pay $30 or $40 dollars for a bottle of tanning lotion...but thanks for the input anyway.

Can someone please clarify this: Does Dark'n'Dazed have a bronzer or not?

[nikptbo]

it doesnt

[BrOnZeDbOmBsHeLl]

it's not an expensive lotion retailing for about $17 so even if you didn't like it you wouldn't be totally out in the dark.

[Laurel]

No Dark N Dazed does not have a bronzer in it. Dark Kickin Ale does though but it is also a tingle.

[BrOnZeDbOmBsHeLl]

Dark n Dazed has no bronzer however Sunburst Sorbet, Cocoa Butter and Dark Kickin' Ale do, all made by Emerald Bay

[LucaBella]

I wanna try this one, but my skin is soo dry already so it will suck if it is drying

[sunbunny]

I don't think it's drying. I like dnd.

[ladyboss]

I really like dark-n-dazed also and I didn't find it drying but I know some people have complained about that - You could always moisturize really well after tanning if you feel dry.

[tanstamper]

I didn't feel dry at all, but as was said before, people are different. I like it.

[boukie_2]

I had a bottle of dark and dazed last year and used the whole thing and let me tell you it didnt do anything for my color. I did get color but it wasnt because the lotion was helping. I used Rich sexy tan by Matahari and that stuff REALLY works! I got a nice rich brown color and Im lovin it!

[cupcake65]

when these threads get bumped up i start missing these people fro m the past

[summerglow]

I know there always nice to read, i always go thru some of the old threads and just read them !!

[ladyboss]

there really have been a lot of old threads surfacing lately. Years later I still like dark n dazed :) I've always been in the minority of being an Emerald Bay Fan.

[cupcake65]

its not a line that i buy a bottle of but i have tried different ones but it is kind of drying to my skin and the sto is sometimes a little much but i beileve it to be a quality line of lotion and great for those on a budget or who dont want to invest alot of money in a lotion..i had good luck with mojo and D&D

[Tan4Life]

I don't like D n D it did absolutely nothing for me. Very drying too.

[JamieinTN]

The only EB lotion I've ever really loved was Bottled Blonde. They can keep the rest.

Oh yes! I forgot about that one. I loved the colour I got but didn't appreciate the glitter :lol:

[JamieinTN]

I bet not!! :lol:

[laynie]

This is my alltime FAVOURITE lotion. When I purchase it, I purchase it in bulk. The best smelling lotion there is, and just makes my skin feel so sweet. I would die if they discontinued it! hehe

[boukie_2]

I cant stand this stuff.... absolutely no results with this in a whole month
