the hype was wrong!

[njchica]

okay, here's your turn to sound off on the lotions that you heard such great things about.... but in the end it turned out to be a big disappointment.

which ones did you get tricked into trying?

[colorgod]

Worship: bronzer not dark enough

Dark-n-Dazed: no color change

Smoke Black: bad after tan smell

[njchica]

my disappointments:
Worship--no noticeable bronzer
Ambrosia DD
Ganja--very drying, no color change
Tattoo--no color change

[colorgod]

I forgot Ganja: drying ! I did get some color, but I literally felt like I was sticking to the tanning bed.

[Summers Tan]

Safire-It was sticky & made me itchy.

[colorgod]

I forgot to put Safire. I didn't like the lack of tingle(it said 25), the bronzer was orangey, and the it flaked.

[sunbunny]

I gotta go with Safire. No tingle. The bronzer was ok, but after a couple of hours, it started coming off in what looked like yucky little balls. GROSS!

[colorgod]

sunbunny, I had that same problem.

[Anya1976]

my most hyped was ag's iced creme FUNKY aftertan smell tanning seemed to magnify the smell like 100X just cosmetic bronzer and felt no cooling

[njchica]

what else guys? which lotions did everyone rave about and you wound up hating?

Amaretto was another big let down... everyone seemed to love it but I didn't.

[Greta]

For me it is AG double dip ice cream. My mom streaked and looks horrible! lol
I just found it runny and sticky.

[KIMMYB]

Dark Ganja-big time drying.

[nikptbo]

so dark and dazed isnt recommended?

I like it too.

I think my disappointment would have to be Smoke Black.

[njchica]

i love love love Smoke Black... that and Prophecy are my most favoritest bronzers.

[KIMMYB]

I love love love Smoke Black too! I get great color from it. Still want to try the Prophecy....have to find it first.

[colorgod]

Luv, I didn't care for Smoke Black either. Too much after-tan smell, and that citrus scent also really got to me.

well you only streak when you dont put it on correctly. i personally love the bronzer in it u can actually tell it HAS a bronzer and i've never streaked... it does have the same funky iced creme smell but with the color i get i can over look the stink

[colorgod]

funky iced creme smell? ewwwwwwwwwwwww no thanks.

[tr0nado]

There was one 'cheap' tanning acclerator simply called "Tyro-scene". I got dark from it but it felt like my skin was totally dry from using it. Rubbish!!!

[colorgod]

Who made that "tyro-scene"?

[TANBABE]

beach bum rum look horrible. it look orange ....... smell terrible ater tan

[TanSugar64]

It's so funny how some people have ATO from certain lotions and some don't...I love Smoke Black, the color I get from it, and the scent before and after tanning. And I liked the fresh, clean scent of DD Iced Creme, the only thing I wasn't impressed with was that there was no cooling from that lotion whatsoever.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Tpsyduck]

Yeah, I didn't like smoke black for the ATO, and also I don't like DHA But it's cool it works for others
AG Hot- No color Change , But I LOOOVVEE the smell, Brown Envy- Now, it smells SO EDIBLE I'll give it that, but it felt really heavy on my skin, and I didn't see any color from it but I tried Bi Polar - YUCK! That's about it, there's a couple more, but these are the memorable ones

[ilzabet]

DS drama queen. ewww. smells gross (and i even like perfume-y smells...i wear shalimar if that tells you anything) yucky texture, and totally drying. rockstar was a little better...i ended up bying that one b/c it's the only bronzer i found with ok colour. but the texture is still off.

[camarolynn73]

Dark N Dazed; no color
Banana Boat indoor lotion: streaked badly and orange color
melted butter: not much color, this is the one I thought I would really like and heard alot of good things about but didn't turn out to be ALL THAT

[dksxytan]

Amaretto, Bi-Polar, omg DRAMA QUEEN SUCKED!!!!

[~*HoneyBee*~]

Bombshell

[kammy92]

I love the smell of Drama Queen but it didnt give me any results..........so now I just use it as a moisturizer to use it up...........

[diane5529]

ja platinum..yuck made me itchy and didnt give any color

[ladyboss]

I didn't care much for Babie by JA, it was too thick and I didn't notice any results, it does smell really nice though!

[NCtanmom]

Ok where do I began I have tried so many different ones this year
Bombshell...was not impressed at all
Smoke black...way to heavy for me (dha)
Goddess...no comment
Worship...No color change at all
Beach Bum Rum...dha was almost orange looked awful
SB Frosted Hemp.. didnt feel any cooling
Dark N Dazed...no color change at all hated the smell
DS Rock Star...a lil color change but with all the HYPE I thot this would be amazing
I know theres more I just cant think of them all

[BrOnZeDbOmBsHeLl]

Spiked Butter was not good in my opinion. I felt so greasy, I felt no tingle and I didn't even know it had a bronzer in it because it showed nothing. I guess my skin just doesn't get along with it.

[boobrandt]

too many to remember. off the top of my head, i hated titanium, browning syrup, bipolar, and banana boat indoor. (what a surprise on the last one huh?) didn't like drama queen, rock star, enigma, satori sol kashmir, worship.
i'll think of more later.

[Summers Tan]

Gosh,nctanmom,what did ya like?I'm kidding but would like to know what did work for ya?

[MizzBunnay]

probably theory, i heard it was sooooooo hot, and i didnt feel it at all, and the bronzer was ok, not worth 100$$

theory wasn't hot, but it was closer to hot than anything else. but i didn't pay 100 bucks for it either, thank goodness. i might buy it again, but i have so much right now that i would have to be crazy. besides, i have to christmas shop!

[LucaBella]

x power was so hyped about, i hated it! no color!

[Blondie41280]

Im still sticking with the one lotion that I rank on all the time. Sexpot. Beyond horrible. I have no idea why my gym ever even sold it or told me it was AWESOME to start with. Also a few others to add to the list are Browning Fury which simply turned me red and didnt tan me at all and Vibe which turned me red, made me sick to my stomach and made me very itchy. And also made some weird lil white patches on my upper arms which luckily have faded now from using GOOD LOTIONS.

[BabyJem]

Lets see:
Sultry Sexy tan: I didnt see any results and the smell was horrible
JA Platinum: that is by far the worst smelling stuff I have ever smelt
SB Ameretto: I used it and thne when I wanted to take a shower later that day...my clothes were brown from the bronzer....wasnt happy about that at all

[Val]

Baby Jem are you talking about platinum zero? I love the minty smell of it. Guess everyone has different taste.

[Sc0tt]

BabyJem: I loved Sultry Sexy Tan..I really liked the bronzer in it, but it did have a TERRIBLE ATO! Probably the worst ATO out of every lotion i've used!

[Tpsyduck]

I've got to mention about my Smoke black comment above... Smoke Black is PERFECT if ya mix it with lotions that smell like it... I used it in my Ducky's drink from my thread, and it didn't smell bad AT ALL.. it was great!!!!!!

[Tpsyduck]

Anybody else have any to add here??

[PlanetBeachErin]

I adore Tattoo, and Smoke.. not bronzers but hot... they were both awesome... until I started using only aloe based lotions, and then I realized just how good lotions can be! AG Hot rocks, and the AG Golden Glaze line are all amazing! I can't stand most SB products... the only ones that I like are Frosted Hemp and and Chocolate Silk... again, aloe based. Try looking at your lotions first ingredient today. Is it Water? Then this lotion is really not absorbing into your skin as much as it could. Go with something based in Aloe Vera... you WILL see benefits like softer skin, longer lasting tan, and less likely streaking....
