Pros: Beautiful tan, easy to apply, noticeable after 2 applications, cheap
Cons: Dries somewhat slowly
The Bottom Line: I recommend this product because of it's ease in application, the cost of the product ($7.00 for a 5.7 oz tube!) and the natural dark tan I get.

| tapioca12's Full Review: Banana Boat Sunless Deep Dark Tanning Kit |
This was a remarkable tan bottled up in a large tube. To give you some background, I am from Hawaii & am now living in California; however, I go back home to visit 2 times a year and it'd be nice to go back without going on the beach looking pale as chalk. I am Asian and am fair to medium skinned.
I actually bought both the Soft Medium and Rich Dark Tan since 1) I wasn't sure what the results would be with just the Soft Medium 2) it was cheap enough to purchase both. I started using the Soft Medium to ease my skin into the color. That night, after exfoliating in the shower (with a wet washcloth) & drying off, I applied the Soft Medium with a plastic glove which I had extra from those hair dyeing kits.
The application was quite easy and takes about 5 minutes for me. The tint system works well such that you do not end up with streaks. The next morning, it was slightly noticeable. I then applied another round of Soft Medium. After 2 days of 2 applications a day, it was quite noticeable and had evened out my arm and leg tans nicely. After the 3rd day, I wanted a darker tan and started switching over to the Dark Rich Tan applying it twice a day.
It has been about 5 days now and the ultimate test came yesterday when I went to Napa with some girlfriends and wore some cute shorts and a tank top. They remarked at what a great tan I had and I revealed to them that it is a fake tan. They were shocked especially after I told them how much a tube of the stuff was! They were impressed with the color, at how even and dark it was, no orangey color or messy streaks.
I wouldn't mind a little more darkness so I will continue to apply the Dark Rich Tan twice a day for a couple more days. Eventually I do intend to want to apply it every other day if possible. Overall though, I am very pleased with the outcome and can't wait to hit the beach in Hawaii.
