Love love love this stuff! I have completely stopped tanning in tanning beds and am happy about it! Great color and it lasts if you do it a couple times a week.

great for subtle color
-05.03.13
Quick Take: gradual
I'm a pale redhead and this is by far the best self-tanning product that I've used. It creates a very subtle color that looks totally natural (not orange at all) and it's easy to control the darkness. The mousse goes on evenly, and because it's so subtle, missed spots are easily fixable. I've never been able to get a great, natural color before using this product. The smell isn't fantastic, but it's still better than any other product I've used. I would definitely recommend for other pale people!

Blah
-04.28.13
I bought this because I am a very fair skinned redhead and I have used the regular st tropez mousse. The regular mousse works really well but get's me a lot of dark color. So I was hoping for a more subtle change. The second I pumped this mousse I HATED it! It comes out white/clear. And after a few minutes the smell is just terrible. I actually washed my face to get it off and took it promptly back to Sephora for my money back. Not my favorite!

Sun kissed glow!
-04.19.13
Quick Take: long lasting, natural, streak free
I first came across this stuff at a spa where they airbrushed you by hand. After I showered the application off (4 hrs. later) I was left with the most gorgeous, natural light brown tan. Being either sun burned or pale, never tan my whole life, I fell in love! Being dissatisfied with drug store orange tans my whole life, this is my one and only when I want a natural, sun kissed tan! The mousse NEEDS the mitt for an even streak free tan. Love love love!!!!

Yucky!
-02.11.13
Quick Take: awful
I love St.. Tropez products, used them for years. I'm very fair skinned, so I was tempted to try this. It is smelly and there is no tint in it, so you have no idea whether it is going on uniform. The regular Mousse is fantastic, unbelievably fantastic, so no idea why they have made this one so stinky and useless. I will not be buying it again. It made no difference to my skin tone, but made me smell like an 80's fake tanner.

A thorough review
-02.04.13
Quick Take: gradual, not orange
I rarely ever write a review unless a product is extraordinarily grand, or absolutely terrible. I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with this product. I have strayed away from self tanners for years. So many products, accompanied by so much streaking and strange tints of orange. I used this product when I got out of the shower without moisturizing before hand, and had great results. I am kind of pale (my job requires me to be indoors all the time) but tan pretty easily. My skin is a combination of oily and dry. I applied with the st. tropez application mitt on day one and saw the best results the next morning. I missed a tiny spot on my stomach which showed me that I was slowly changing color. When I applied the second time (about 2 days after the first application) I applied all over and to my surprise, the stomach spot I missed looks fine now, I am not at all orange, and the change isn't drastic. A slow over time tan that allows me to avoid strong UV rays and still look sun kissed. I would recommend this to everyone with lighter skin. Those with darker skin might find that this product doesn;t produce much change, but for those of us with lighter skin, there are very few products that don't turn you into a life size oompa loompa. I WILL continue to use this.

Love this brand!
-09.11.12
I got a sample size of the St. Tropez gradual tan lotion - loved it - so I thought I'd give the mousse a try. The difference? The Mousse gave a darker initial tan, but did have more of a scent than the lotion. Neither products are streaky, neither are orange-y. If you want an even glow that you don't have to build up for days, get this product!

My favorite so far!
-09.05.12
Quick Take: gradual, long lasting, easy to use
After trying the over the counter sun products, I was very turned off. The strong smells and streaky look were terrible. I'm very pale and I work at night so I see very little of the sun. I rely on products like this. I ordered the mitt along with the mousse. I find that I am not streaky and it looks very natural. It doesn't have that nasty smell either which makes me very happy!

Best at home Self Tanner
-08.14.12
Quick Take: gradual, long lasting
I am very very fair skinned, and this tanner looks natural on me! I like that it is gradual (not so much as the ones in the store, this one only takes 2 or 3 applications on skin as light as mine- the store ones take 6 or 7 days to look somewhat tan). The mousse is SO easy to apply and doesn't look streaky. I use it on my face after a light moisturizer and it doesn't make me break out and leaves a nice minimal tan. My palms never looked tan either : ) Just make sure not to get yourself wet while washing your hands, any water drops will erase the tan there and it looks funny! This stuff is awesome!

I usually using Estée Lauder bronzer but this time I decided to try this one based on reviews. I used it with the mitt and I really liked the results. It will give you a really nice tan which is not yellow at all.

Super Natural Looking even on very pale skin
-07.17.12
Quick Take: gradual, golden tan
I have really pale skin, ghostly pale and tanner looks amazing. Its not orange, just the perfect golden shade. I did have more trouble with my legs than arms but once I used it for 3 days my legs evened out and look great. Plus it doesn't stink like some other brands I've used!

-07.09.12
Quick Take: gradual, long lasting, golden glow
I'm completely in love with this tanner. It only has a faint typical tanner smell to it and dries super fast. With all of the other tanners I've used I have needed to shower right after because of how sticky and fragranced it was. Less hassle and more color - brown glow that is, not orange. I got it with the mitt as well, super helpful. This is the first of St. Tropez that I have tried and after these positive results, I'll have to explore more of their products.
