Hawaiian Tropic - Island Glow Daily Moisturizer

Sick.  Disgusting.  Putrid.  Offensive.  Nasty.  These are all words I would use to discribe this self tanner.  Before I purchased, I put a tiny squirt on and thought it smelled absolutely wonderful.  After you apply it to your whole body though, you will be ill.  The overwhelming scent will make you gag.  Maybe it smells better than some self-tanners, but the smell is REALLY strong and it doesn’t smell even close to really good.  If someone had applied this in the morning and you came near them, you would DEFINITELY know that they had this on, in a bad way.  I have NEVER been and am not, sensitive to scents.  But, after using for 3 days, I promptly brought mine back.  Why would someone ever use this product when there are tons of products out there that not only have better results but are better smelling too (read: Coppertone Endless Summer Moisturizing Lotion).  Another thing I don’t like about this product is how ghastly the color is.  It turned my skin a VERY, VERY light brown and I applied it one more time hoping for a darker tan.  I did not get tan, I got the obvious fake self-tanner look of orange!  And it pooled in drier places unlike any other self tanner I have ever used.  If a customer at work asked me which tanner to get, I would strongly suggest something else!  If you are looking for a product with actual noticeable results, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
