Those spray-on tans in a can (Loreal Sublime, etc.)

vibrant

I'm pretty much ringleader of the anti-false tan brigade, but I think these might change my mind.

Can anyone out there who has used them let me know if one stinks to the high heavens after an application?
Does the tan dribble out of the can or spray easily?
How do you get an even tan over ankles, knees and elbows?
Does it rub off on your clothes?
How long does it last?

As you can see, I need to be happy before I hand over my €19!

Garnier ambre solaire spray on tan is the best for me. Its dead easy to use. If I dont have the time or money to go for a St. tropez tan in a salon then this is the second best. Its sooo easy to apply, the spray is brilliant for getting your back done too. I definatley recommend them. Although you must try them all to find the best one for your skin tone other wise you may look tangoed and you dont want that!

to answer your questions:

- they don't stink to high heaven, quite a subtle 'tan' smell but it fades quickly and is not a problem.
- the tan sprays easily, until you are at the very end of the can and its about to run out, but it still doesnt dribble at all.
- spray lightly on these areas and be sure to rub in gently with some moisturiser
- no, and it dries in a couple of mins, you can get dressed fairly quickly after wards. just do your nails or something for a couple of mins and then your ready to get dressed. although whenever i've put white underwear on after it comes off on them. just wear black or dark undies, common sense really
- couple of days

I wouldnt recommend the new L'Oreal Airbrush one. Ive tried it and you cant see where you are spraying so you end up patchy and the colour the next day is barely noticable!

Bizarre - I tried it and thought it was fantastic. Not a streak nor a patch in sight, and even though the colour was light the next morning it seemed to continue to develop the next day. Somebody in work even thought I had gone on a sun holiday last week, and that was only with one application!

My sister talked me into trying it... the little *****! It really really smells awful, and I only put on a light "coat"! It gave a nice bit of colour though, but I don't think it's worth it, you know?
