Urban Decay Santa Tanita Body Bronzer

What it is:A bronzing mousse that gradually darkens with time.What it does:The saint of sunless tanning, heavenly Santa Tanita, watches over sun worshippers everywhere! The light, airy mousse instantly bronzes face and body while a gradual self tanner goes to work, building a lasting tan. The moisturizing formula goes on without streaking and won't rub off onto clothes.What else you need to know:More exciting than your average bronzer, the mousse can is dressed up like a prayer candle for our imaginary saint, Santa Tanita. She brings with her a beautiful bronze glow, while keeping her flock away from the detrimental effects of UV damage.

Ewwwww

I am not a big fan of mousses, but I thought I would give this a try. The smell wasn't bad, but it went on uneven, hard to tell how well it distrubuted, and faded very quickly. I returned it.

Natural color
-05.31.10
I like the natural color it gave my legs, and I like that it does last at least a second day. For my personal taste, I could use a little less shimmer, but it is not horrible.

Love This Tanner
-05.09.10
This is a great self-tanner. The instant bronzers allow you to see where it has been applied. It has a subtle sparkle and it doesn't stink. The only thing I would improve on is the moisturization. If I didn't have to use this plus lotion it would be fabulous! But overall, the smell alone is worth purchasing this product.

Best out there!! Can't go wrong!
-04.16.10
Quick Take: perfect!
I've tried them all!! This one is great, I'm very fair (almost translucent!) and this went on great, no streaking or uneven spots at all! Sure it is glittery and in my opinion that really doesn't go away for awhile, BUT it isn't noticeable from far away only up really close. Make sure you exfoliate and you will love it! It is also very long lasting as opposed to ALL the others I've tried.

pretty good, just costs too much
-03.26.10
I like the combo of longterm tan with short-term shimmer. It's a nice product, especially to use on legs with a shorter dress or skirt. However, there isn't much product in the tube and is fairly pricey. Use it as a dress-up product, not to replace your regular sunless tanner.

Quick Take: effective
Safe sun alternative, subtle but pretty bronzing effect only downside I see is the volume per price, this does what it says.

Quick Take: glittery, natural-looking
I really like it though. The colour is very nice and natural looking. The glitter is really pretty but it come off after a short while which is fine because you don't want to go everywhere with glitter all over your body. You have to use it generously to get a dark colour but I like the light brown colour. The smell isn't horrible either, it's actually pretty nice!
The packaging is really good and I like the dispenser. I love the girl and the design on the front, it's very cool.

Glitter tan?
-10.23.09
I was told it would be a shimmer self tanner. It is a good self tanner that can be layered and is foam so there is less streaking. But what I didn't like about it was the amount of glitter. not small shimmer but middle school glitter.

Perfect color!
-09.29.09
I bought the bronzer the day of a wedding since it was too late for a spray tan. The mousse was easy to apply and gave a great bronze color with a little shimmer. The next day i was pleasantly surprised by the self tanner's color and it lasted through the week. The bottle only holds enough for a couple uses if you're using it all over.

It doesn't have a strong smell, it was effective. I needed it for a beach party and it worked just like I thought it would. I recommend it.

The best I have tried
-08.20.09
Quick Take: non greasy, easy to apply, long lasting, natural looking
I really like this tanner. It does not streak, the color is very natural, and it has a very subtle shimmer that can only be seen in the sun. I am usually not a fan of shimmer but this is very subtle and pretty. The bottle also lasted me alot longer than most other tanners. Clarins was my favorite before this but I am switching to Santa Tanita.

The non streak power tan fan!!!!
-08.17.09
Quick Take: truthful to it's promises.
I'm not sure if it's actually possible to self tan w/out any mistakes especially with pale skin to start on, but this tanner has been the best so far. It is pigmented so you can see where you need to blend. Plus...it sparkles-enouh reason to love it.

Quick Take: not worth the money
This bronzing mousse promises to darken your skin over time while all it does is add some shimmer with no darkening effect, not even on a temporary basis.

good for Whitey McWhites!
-08.11.09
I am possibly the palest person in my town, therefore self-tanners have to be applied sparingly and super-carefully to avoid unnatural orangeness. This one I find to be very easy to apply and results in a believable tint, just enough to reduce the glare from my skin in the desert sun.

Not so great...
-08.10.09
I have tried everything from the drug store brands to the pricey ones. I have fair to medium skin tone. I found that it was streaky after it dried and I took exrerme care with the application process. Not orange streaks, color looks pretty good, but streaky nonetheless. Smell is ok, typical sunless tanner/bronzer smell. I did like how it's tinted so that you can see where you'vbe applied it, and the mousse is easier to use (in my opinion) than the lotions. Still, just didn't make the cut.

The color is the best
-05.26.09
Quick Take: great sun substitute
I really like that the color turns out to be tan, not orange. It takes a little practice to get even coverage, but it's far above any other tanner I've used and it lasts longer. Personally, I like the touch of sparkle it has.
