Dont waste your $$
-04.18.13
Quick Take: streaky, hard to apply
I tried this instead of another popular (foam tanner with a blue cap) because of the recommendation from a sales associate at Sephora. This is really hard to apply, and I am very used to applying sunless tanners. The two times I have used it, it has streaked and turned more orange than bronze (does not have the green undertones like previously mentioned product). Also, if you put too much on or rub it too hard it goops up and rolls into a patchy mess on the skin. You can't apply it with a mit and are therefore forced to use your hands (then scrub away to make sure it doesnt stain!).
The smell is ok but goes back to the stinky smell anyway after about 45 minutes developing time.

Very impressed
-01.21.13
Quick Take: gradual
I have never tried a self-tanner before, and was nervous about rumors of orange-y color. I use Dior skincare products, so I wanted to try this product. I am very impressed - a girlfriend recently told me I had that "sun-kissed glow" :) It does not make me super-dark right away, re-applying (according to the instructions) after three hours makes it darker. I like the fact that it is not drastic, I saw no streaks (I moisturized before using), and it looks very natural and not over-the-top, yet I definitely look tanner. I am re-ordering!

Quick Take: shimmery, long lasting
For someone with Italian colored skin like me this blended perfectly, the smell isn't overwhelming once it's dried, and it's definitely worth the price! Will probably buy again!

Hint of color
-04.07.12
Quick Take: natural glow tan
I previously used this product in shimmer glow which was discountinued awhile ago. And Dior had reformatted theses tanners from a couple years ago so if you tried it 2 or three years ago retry it as the scent is not as strong ( although I liked that scent) the bottle is somewhat slimmer. It gives a hint of color to skin after one application & than on second more color but as the name says natural. This doesn't give that " I go tanning look" it is a mostly universal product. You must put lotion on as it isn't a moisturizing product although I noitce after I put this product skin feel smoother. I really like the fragrance in this product although it is not as strong as previous version but comparable slightly better product would be st tropez daily moisturerizer as it moisterizes skin and gives color. I only use either brand for tanning lotions as they are personally best I think At giving a little island glow to skin.

Worth trying!
-12.13.11
I did not mind the smell at all and I love how fast it dries. The color is pretty nice, although I turned out pretty streaky, but that's probably my fault. My skin is very light so my hands and feet look creepy, but oh well! I would use it again.

THE BEST
-11.16.11
Quick Take: miracle in a bottle
I have tried everything from the drug store self tanner to st tropez and everything in between. This is by far the best yet. It does not rub off and does not get streaky. It gives a golden brown that looks natural not fake at all! and only take 2 times to get the color you want

awesomeness!
-11.14.11
this stuff is great. no wonder it's dior. it did not have a funky smell, in fact it had a pleasant subtle scent. it gave a natural look not a weird orangey color. it did come off on my white shirt a little bit, so be careful. i'd make sure to shower before you get dressed. it only took one coat for me to get my desired look.

It's okay
-09.20.11
This product was recommended to me by a Sephora sales professional. I was not that impressed with it. The self tanner did give me color but I had to put at least 2 coats on over night for the color to show. Maybe it's because I have a little bit color already. It is also dries streaky even if I carefully made sure to evenly apply it.

Nice, but still smells
-08.11.11
I really like the tinted gel formula. It makes for very easy application and truly glosses over your skin. I have very fair skin and applied to legs, arms, and stomach. About 3 hours later I could definitely see a nice tan color. I then applied a 2nd coat to my legs (I really am white). This 2nd coat is just what I needed. I had a nice tan color over my body. I liked it. Also, the coloring has lasted approximately 5 days.
The initial smell is very nice. I liken it to a perfume -- where there are top notes that you smell initially, but then lower notes that have the lasting effect. Unfortunately, the lower notes of the Dior Bronze are still a sunless tanner smell. After leaving my 2nd application to my legs set for about another 3 hours, I then took a shower to rinse off. This removed the sunless tanner smell but left the color.

Mix with Moisturizer
-02.19.11
I really enjoy the color I get from this self-tanner. I use it every-other day and with my daily moisturizer (I make a half moisturizer/tanner mix). I think the color lasts longer and goes on more evenly mixed with the body lotion than by itself. Mixing it with the body lotion cuts down the smell too.

I was pleased with this product. It provided even color that was pretty natural. The best part was that it didn't smell like tanner.

Not the right colour for me...
-01.07.11
After reading all the great reviews I decided to give this product a try. Unfortunately it didn't work great with my skin tone. It did turn a light orange colour and it just didn't turn out as expected. I think this is the last self-tanner I will ever try. I don't think I'm meant to be glowing all year round..

Best self-tanner I have ever used. This product, although expensive, lasts a long time....works very quickly and stays on for days. It is also very natural looking and helps even out my skin tone. Love this product!!!

I like this but....
-11.07.10
I like the color of this and also the ease of use, however, like all self tanners I've used....I wish it didn't make me smell like "nachos" in my boyfriends' words. That is the worst part about it! Honestly though, this particular tanner does give very realistic color and I would definitely recommend it

Great Scent~I have tried A LOT of self tanners and this by far has the best scent. it definitely produces a natural looking tan the only down side is it takes a lot of gel to cover each area, so the bottle goes pretty quickly.
