Bondi Sands

The Liquid Gold collection from Bondi Sands is my favorite self-tanner. It has no color guard, but the application is always top-notch anyway. I've tried many, but I always come back to this one. It doesn't transfer at all and dries quickly. I can sleep in this and the bedding isn't affected.

👍🏻 Doesn't smell much like BUS 👍🏻 Good guide color 👍🏻 Easy to apply 👍🏻 Absorbs well into the skin 👍🏻 Doesn't dry out 👍🏻 Doesn't make me yellow 👍🏻 Gives the skin a nice glow 👎🏻 Not particularly deep color 👎🏻 Requires several layers to get a noticeable “tan” 👎🏻 The color sets quickly. My bottle leaked a bit so I got BUS on my fingers. It required tan remover and a nail brush to get it off, soap and water weren't enough. I applied three layers and let it sit for about 9 hours from the first layer. A lot of color washed off in the shower. On my legs, it left a nicely flattering color, but most of it disappeared from my décolletage. For me personally, this is very not economical since I have to apply several layers, making it expensive. But because of the nice, non-yellow color, I can still consider buying this again - but not at full price. #lykoreview

The only self-tanner I've tried that doesn't have that awful self-tanner smell. It does smell a bit too much like coconut right now when you apply it, but that almost completely goes away when it dries. Gives just the right amount of color, not orange. This has become a new favorite and I will definitely buy a new one when this runs out.
