Self-Tanning Series: Loreal Sublime Bronze Lotion

I am going to do a series of reviews on different self-tanners I have encountered. The first, being L'oreal Sublime Bronze Tinted Self-Tanning lotion in Medium Natural Tan.

This product claims to be streak-free, quick-dry, and have a transfer-proof formulation that will not rub off on clothes. After exfoliating my skin in the shower, I moisturized my legs and arms with Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion. Once the lotion dried, I applied the Sublime Bronze using my hands starting from the legs up. I did not apply this to my face. This formulation makes it really easy to apply streak-free since it comes out already tinted to help see where you apply it to your skin. The color developed evenly within 3 hours from the initial application and darkened to a nice natural tan. However, this self-tanner has a TON of glitter in it (why i opted out on applying it to my face). If you don't mind glitter, then this may be for you! On the other hand, my non-glitter fans will not be pleased with this at all. I did notice that the glitter does fade away within a day, just as the natural color did. I would say that you would need to apply this every 2-3 days to maintain color.

Pros:
-Streak-Free
-Dries quickly (less than 5 minutes or so)
-Nice natural color
-Lasts 2-3 days
-Price, depends on location but roughly 9-10$

Cons:
-Very glittery on skin (unless you don't mind this)

If you have any questions please let me know!
