Calling All Fakers!

OK girls, I need your help! It’s FINALLY warm here and I’m ready to bust out the spring dresses and crop pants! HOWEVER my pastey white legs are nowhere near ready for shorter hemlines. Now I can’t go tanning {not that I would} and spray tan isn’t an option either so I need to know your FAVORITE sunless tanning lotions! I have tried Jergen’s Natural Glow and while I was a fan at first, the smell gets to me now. I have 3 bottles of it that will probably NEVER get used. I’ve also done the Dove {whatever it’s called} too and I didn’t care for it either. You know me; I’m CHEAP, so something drugstore accessible would be preferable. Thanks in advance ladies!

P.S. I don’t want to look like this girl, so no orangey ones!

  2. Neutrogena has a tanning lotion that I like or Nivea has both a tanning lotion and a tinted leg moisturizer which I love!!

  3. I've tried the Neutrogena MicroMist Tanning Spray. I liked it, and didn't turn orange. They've really upped the quality on these things. Definitely exfoliate before you spray and you will have no problem. Get the hubs in on it too and you def won't miss any spots haha

  5. I hear ya! It's been in the 60's here in MI but it's supposed to go back down in the 40's this weekend. :-( Booo!! I wonder if the spray on vs. the lotion would be better? I've never tried the spray on stuff but sometimes with the lotion it can be streaky.

  11. I use Palmer's Natural Bronze Body Lotion.....I love it! I never have to keep applying it like other moisturiser fake tans. After just 1 application it is tan enough for me!
