This product has a facinating history. The first 32oz Refill was created from a request from a southern Idaho farmer who called me after his 3rd 200 mile trip to Boise to visit the national testing store to pick up this wonderful and magical cream that healed his farm tired hands. As I walked to the shop caring the large container, I had people stopping and asking for one for themselves. What people do with this much cream I dare to speculate. Buying in bulk is so much more cost effective, I imagine they gather up small jelly jars or tiny baby food containers and scoop in spoonfuls of this precious cream to share with friends and family. The stores who sell our products keep them on hand to refill their testers and some even offer their customers a refill program where they bring in their empty jars and refill them for a small savings.French Vanilla will remind you of cookies and cakes straight from Gramma's Kitchen. Because of the rich Vanilla we use, our products often take on a caramel hue. French Vanilla is our second best selling Fragrance. There are 14 flavors and different sizes so the choice is yours.

I
have been searching for something to help with my terrible dark circles for
years. Of course, nothing worked. I managed to bump into this product, someone
recommended it to me, so I figured I'd give it a try. It was cheaper and less
painful than getting injections under my eyes. Within literally five minutes of
applying the product, I looked alive for the first time in years. They're not
"perfect" of course, but the difference is such that I don't really
even feel the need to use concealer anymore. I'll be getting this religiously
from now on as long as it keeps working.

I
have had black circles for as long as i can remember, and im only 25. Ive
noticed a dramatic difference within days. I normally will not spend this much
money on a beauty product, but i needed something new and was offered super
saver shipping. I will get this again once my 2.5 ounces runs out. Im not sure
if i can live without it.

Awesome!
I'm 22 and mostly got this for dark sunken circles under my eyes (genetics) but
also fine lines which I probablly caused by wearing concealer, eyeshadow,
eyeliner, etc everyday since I was 15 or so. I've been applying this at night
and using this for 2 weeks now and am noticing a big difference. I look much
more awake and the circles and fine lines have improved alot. My skin where I
apply it is more plump so the wrinkles have filled and my eyes no longer look
severely bruised. I feel content without makeup on for once! Very happy, but
find this a bit expensive for a small container so hopefully it lasts me
awhile...
EDIT: People who complain about the greasiness are partly right but it soaks in
after a minute or two even when I use it in the morning I have no problem using
makeup after it soaks in and I have no problem with the makeup smearing. Also I
find the smell pleasant..

I've been using this for about a week now because I have a problem with
puffiness. I know that it will take some time to diminish the wrinkles etc but
I expected to see the puffiness/bags reduced. Well it's been a week and this
cream has made absolutely no difference with my bags. It moisturizes nicely but
that's about it. I'll be trying something else.

By Moviefanatic
Generally, I love Burt's Bee products. Based on the ravings reviews
here, I have decided to give this cream a try. I have clogged tear ducts in
both of my eyes and non-stop eye tearing is an ordeal I have to get used to. I
was looking for an excellent eye cream to help with the drying skin under my
eyes. I found out that a couple of reviewers had a similar issue and decided to
give this product a try. After using it for about two weeks now, I have to say
that the condition of my skin not only has not improved, but got worse. I see
some vertical creases and puffiness in the under-eye skin now that I have not
seen before. Oh yes, it also irritates the eye if it gets there. Needless to
say, I am very upset and am stopping using this cream for my under eye skin. I
am going back to using retinol based eye creams.

Self-Tan Liquid is suitable for whatever skin type you have and contains no artificial

POSITIVES
Well priced.
Color is very flattering and natural looking with a deep, dark tropical
tan.
When reviewing a self-tan product, I believe it's extremely important to introduce certain characteristics of the author in order for readers to determine whether the product should apply to them. Before I begin, I am 21 years old and extremely fair. As a child, I was decidedly ginger/strawberry blonde, so my skin WILL NOT tan - not then, not now. I've tried a lot of sunless tanners throughout my middle school/high school/collegiate struggle to be tan (or at least a normal, non-ghost shade). This ranges from L'Oreals Sublime Bronze lotions/sprays, to Model Co. products, to Xen Tan, and lots of other brands.
As of now, this Fake Bake Flawless is my favorite self-tan product I've ever used. I'd argue that, when used properly, this is the best sunless tanner. The color guard in combination with the mitt makes sure I get every single square inch of my body, no streaks. It dried in minutes, and I was able to dress quickly. The liquid develops into a wonderful brown (not orange!) color, and it was even and believable. HOWEVER... it must be used properly :)
There are a few reviews on here that have complaints about this product that I'm going to address here (mostly noting why they're silly complaints). The first major complaint is "bottle leakage" - the spray bottle that comes with the product is too long for the bottle. The natural solution I came up with was cutting down the straw to make it short enough to fit in the bottle and prevent leaks. CUT THE STRAW before you use and your Fake Bake won't leak! The second major complaint is about the application mitt. Some people say it leaves fuzzy stuff on them, some people say it should have velour on both sides, and some people think it won't last until the tanning product runs out. All of these are wrong. If you've shaved and don't press too hard, your mitt should NOT be leaving fuzzes on you. You're supposed to lightly buff the product on. If the mitt had velour on both sides, there would be risk for rubbing extra tanning solution in random places, most notably on your body where it can leave a streak. One of my biggest tips in using this product is WASH the mitt of all leftover tanning solution after each use. This will keep it in MUCH better shape.
To get the brown, amazing results that most reviewers gush about for this product... it's not hard. Here are some steps to follow. Step 1: Shave and exfoliate with a Baiden mitten. If you don't know what it is, promptly go purchase it and use it and be amazed. Step 2: Take some scissors and snip off a bit more than an inch of the spray bottle attachment that came with the product, and put the modified attachment onto the bottle. This WILL prevent all leaking. Step 3: Apply sunless solution as per the directions, using the gloves and the mitt, spraying on the mitt and then LIGHTLY buffing the color all over (it's probably best to put a tiny dab of body lotion on your knees and elbows and ankles). Step 4: This is my personal step that really helps me as an extremely pale person get a beautiful, even, brown tan. Everyone hates the tell-tale splotching on hands/feet that give away the fact that you're wearing a store bought tan. I highly recommend that every pale someone purchase a product called Xen Tan Blending Balm. Once you're done applying the tanner all over, including hands and feet, take your blending balm and go over your elbows, knees, ankles, knuckles, sides of feet/hands, and wrists. This will prevent the tan from developing into too-dark territory.
OVERALL... The Fake Bake Flawless system is fantastic. It's well-priced and delivers beautiful results (even for gingers), and beats the inconvenience associated with going to the spray tan place. When the correct measures are taken, it looks great for a long time. If you're looking for a deep, dark tropical tan, you'll need to apply it a few nights in a row. My advice is BUY THIS NOW. And then order some Xen Tan Blending Balm and a Baiden mitten (both very important!).
UPDATE: September 27, 2012 After finishing a whole bottle of Fake Bake, I'm happy to report that the velour mitten is still in tact. I'm adding this edit to emphasize how important it is to wash your mitten between uses. Washing the mitten also prevents leftover solution from becoming reactivated and leaving darker splotches in random places during application. Seriously yall, WASH YOUR MITTEN.
5.0 out of 5 starsAfter YEARS of searching I've finally found the PERFECT self-tanner!, March 30, 2012
I used to use tanning beds to achieve my tan until one day I noticed a weird spot on my back and found out it was basal cell carcinoma. So now tanning beds are out and sunscreen is a must, but I missed having my glow. I began just trying any and every self-tanner that I could get my hands on, but I wasn't completely satisfied with anything until I tried Fake Bake Flawless. It really has everything you hope for in a self-tanner. It really truly smells the best of anything I've ever used (my boyfriend approves). The gloves and the mitt ensure that you wont get stained hands or streaks from application. The formula dries so quickly and you don't have to waste time waiting for it dry. It has a tint to show where you've applied it. The color is very flattering and natural looking, I think I almost gave my dermatologist a heart attack when I went in for a check up! He was like, "so how's the tanning going" and I just smiled and said, "oh, this is fake", so it even fooled a dermatologist! I also love the way this one fades off very evenly to, which has been a problem with others that I have tried. I haven't ever written one of these reviews for a product until now but I'm just so happy with this and I know how frustrating the hunt for the perfect tanner can be so I hope this helps someone else and saves them a lot of time and money spent!
I have tried practically every self tanner made and have also had spray-on tanning done in salons. It doesn't get any better than this. This is by far the easiest of them all to apply with the mitt. The color is the most natural and the mitt helps you get the most even application you can ask for from a self tanner. Remember, some color will wash down the drain when you next shower, but if you're not as dark as you'd like, reapply the next night. A couple hours before bed, shower and shave and use a rough exfoliating glove to remove surface dead skin. I also lightly apply an "in shower" body lotion or oil such as Alph Keri and gently rinse off. This keeps the product from collecting on any rough patches, elbows and knees. Dry off and air dry a couple minutes. Apply the product using the mitt with circular motions. I cover up in a light lose sarong for an hour or two so that I'm sure it's dry. I put on silky pj's and go to bed. Next morning, shower, apply body lotion and go to work. Not perfect, but as good as it gets.
This product is the greatest sunless tanning i've ever used. Fake bake flawless dries really fast so it takes little time. It doesn't smell at all! It allows you to see where the color is as you put it on so it's goof proof. I have very sensitive skin also so i tested the product on my skin before i used it and i didn't break out, which has happened a LOT with other sunless tanners i've used. I have used SO SO SO many sunless tanners and they have always had their cons, either me breaking out, or turning me orange, or streaks being everywhere! but not with this! I am extremely pale so this is perfect! It gives you a perfect glow for starters and if you want it darker you can just apply more! I have no streaks and it just looks perfect and with NO SMELL! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! way cheaper than spray tans! this item comes with gloves and a mit you use to put on the product so you don't get spots all over your palms!
UPDATE: I have gotten my Mom to get this, who is even more pale than I am and she LOVES it and swears by it. She gets a very natural color as well. *** Let me just start off by saying that I am Polish, Finnish, and Irish. We are a pale, stout people meant to live in cold, dark places. Thusly, no matter what I do I cannot get a tan; I burn, or turn a sort of odd orangish color. It's really quite terrible. I digress.
I decided to test drive this product this summer, before I go to Hawaii in the winter, to give myself time to find a good fake tan. I have found it!!!!
I started by using it on my legs only, just in case it went badly. I followed directions and exfoliated quite well, shaved etc. I just used a rough washcloth and rubbed the heck out of my legs, knees and feet until I was smooth and clean. After making sure my skin was completely dry, I rubbed a small dab on Vitamin E Oil on my knee area and rubbed it in well, just to make sure they weren't too dry. Then, I applied the product. I followed the directions of going lightly over knees and ankles, making sure they were extended so it wasn't wrinkley, etc. The rest of it is pretty much self explanatory. The mitt worked well for me and was a nice touch. Also, I'm pretty sure this bottle will last me a LONG time. At least a few months of solid use, but perhaps even more!
Pros: 1. It smells nice in the bottle. Sort of floral/tropical. 2. It has NO fake tan smell on your skin. I was expecting it and was ok with it if I tanned well, but I am both tan and NOT SMELLY! 3. The color guide really does help you see where it went, and also looks passable as a tan until your tan develops. 4. It dries quickly after you apply it so you don't have to stand around nekkid forever. 5. My tan looks nice. I went to bed, woke up and rinsed off my legs in the shower and that was it. So easy!
Cons: 1. The spray part of my bottle was a little drippy so I had to keep wiping up little drips from my floor.
Really, that was it!
So anyways, I wholeheartedly recommend this product. I will be buying more soon to stock up!

4.0 out of 5 starsVariety of uses, great for skin, hair, and cooking!, February 10, 2013
Received this product VERY quickly, which I really liked. Used it immediately for cooking and it tasted great. Put on skin and hair like I have read online and although it was a tad oily on face, it cleaned off very easily. I soaked my hair in it about an hr. prior to showering. I recommend if you do this, you wash your hair twice with shampoo. It didn't come out the first time. I washed it once, got out and blow-dried my hair...I am a blonde so my roots looked extremely dark and hair laid flat. I had to shower again, but I have done it again since and it makes my hair very soft and smooth - just had to wash it more than once to make sure it all came out.
Overall bigger size than expected and fast shipping. Can't wait touse it for other things too

5.0 out of 5 starsA punch of sweet, complex femininity, 12 Oct 2012
If I had the choice of wearing only one perfume for the rest of my life, Viktor and Rolf's Flowerbomb would be it. I've been using it on special occasions for around seven months and only now starting to run low - it is definitely a fragrance to be savoured.
The soft pink bottle and packaging speak of understated luxury, and it makes a gorgeous addition to any dressing table. The fragrance itself has very good projection, is lasting and every stage of its wear is a thing of beauty.
At first spray, the sweet top notes of bergamot and tea surround you - giving the perfume a light uplifting feel. Almost immediately though, the gorgeous floral middle notes of musky jasmine, ultra fresh freesia and summery orchid burst through, making the initial few hours of this perfume truly amazing. The last hour or two of the fragrance settles down into a relaxed base of rose and patchouli that complements the remnants of that initial burst of pure, sweet freshness. It is the ideal perfume to lightly spritz on to that special dress to go on a dinner date, or when you want to feel particularly polished and smell irresistible.
Not usually a fan of ultra-feminine or floral perfumes, I can't speak highly enough of Flowerbomb; it is as close to perfection for a luxury feminine fragrance as you could wish for. One that turns heads when you wear it and gives you an instant punch of sweet but complex femininity.
