Product Review: Loreal Sublime Bronze One Day Tinted Gel

May 30th, 2010

 

I kind of glazed over the magazine ads for this product because I thought the tag line ended with ”…in just one day,” and I thought, don’t all faux tanners work in just one day?  And in my case all self tanners make me smell like a bacon-flavored dog treat in just one day.  No matter how ok they smell coming out of the tube the chemical reaction that causes the tan just HATES me.  It is really gross.  But the tag line is actually ”For just one day,” meaning this isn’t a self tanner but a body bronzer that washes off with soap.  So I ran out to try it, because I thought this could be good for those parts of me that never see the light of day until memorial day, and here is… memorial day. 

So, I love this product.  It comes out of the bottle looking really dark and goopy and really pigments your skin in a noticeable but not crazy way.  I just rubbed it in like a lotion on my legs and no streaks.  But the best thing (and the thing I was most concerned about) is that it really stayed looking non-atrocious all day and did not stain anything.  First I took a long car ride in my in-laws’ very clean car, no staining(whew).  Then I sat on the beach and got pretty sandy and sweaty, and splashy (although not full-on wet) and other than a few coffee-colored sweat drops on my skin, no color loss or streaks.  Feeling cocky I then took a nap with my 3 year old son on my mother’s very clean white coverlet, and am happy to report there was no bronze replica of my legs on said coverlet when we awoke!  So I was pretty pleased.  My bottle was 11$, and a little went a long way.

    Oooh, good to know! I’ve ruined quite a few sets of white sheets with self-tanner and have been holding out on applying this season b/c of it. It sounds like this could be a good substitute! On non-rainy days.

    I am so glad you tried this product. I too have seen the commercials and wondered if this is as good as they say. Sounds perfect.

    Your testing methods are intense!!! I think I should try this stuff.

    So I finally tried this out - it looks horrible! To be fair, my skin is super pasty white, of the Irish descent variety. So almost every self-tanner looks bad. But this one is a particularly unattractive version.

    I did like how you could immediately see the color, both for application and convenience! It’s probably a great product for normal looking people.

    Karen- maybe we should have disclosed that CountryMouse’s skin is naturally on the darker side. I too am pasty white and found this looked a little strange on me. I do use sunless tanners tho and don’t find them to be too bad aside from the smell. They leave me a little orange but if I’m going to the beach I’d rather be slightly orange than glowing.
