If you love coconut or vanilla you will absolutly LOVE this scent!!! This is one of my favorite smelling lotions ever:D It really does smell like a day in paradise.... this smells like the perfect combination of vanilla and sweet coconut without being overpowering at all, just yummmm smelling. Lol The ATO on this smells just like it does before you tan, just a tad lighter.... but you will smell great for hours after tanning, I always get compliments on it:) I would seriously buy this just for the smell. Lol

☆Lotion☆
4 out of 5
This is very mosturizing without being greasy or sticky:) its def a deep moisture to and not just a film that sits on the skin, the consistency is more medium, but its def thinner then I expected, but that's fine because it rubs in VERY well:) id give it a 5 but its not my absolute favorite in just overall feeling.

☆Color☆
4 out of 5
This darkens me pretty well for an accelerater with no bronzers, not anything extraordinarily dark, but not bad eaither, after tanning I feel a tad sunburn feeling and it gives me an even color boost, but obviously its not as good as a tingle or bronzers..just a slight natural color boost, BUT  this has tattoo protection in it which is a HUGE plus for me considering I have allot of tattoos that I care just as much about along with a tan, I wish more tanning lotions had tattoo protectant in it because tattoo protection is a must for me while tanning whether it be already in my tanning Lotion or a stright up spf lotion...id rather just do it all in one lotion tho:) So A+ for that Ed Hardy!!!

☆Notes☆
If you go for smells of lotions or have tattoos id def try this one out, u won't regret it!! Id probably purchase this again, maybe not tho if I didn't have tattoos considering tattoo protection is mostly y I like this....glad to have it in my collection tho:)

-Combines dark tan maximizers with unltra dark self-acting bronzers to aid in the darkest tan possible.

-For advanced tanners who want to darken their existing tan.

-This product does not contain sunscreen and will not protect against sunburn.

The Supre SMOKE Black Bronzer readies your skin for the tanning bed and works throughout your session to enhance pigmentation for dark, sexy results.

The bronzing complex includes both maximizers that enhance the tone of your tan and self-adjusting bronzers that perfect the color to make it as even as possible.

☆Smell☆
1 out of 5
I absolutly hated the smell of this, before and after tanning, its sapose to be a fruity pineapple mango type smell (I think).. some kind of fruit, and it smells more like generic overpowering fruit punch or koolaid..to me its that really headachey stripper type smell that I hate... sombody who likes really strong sweet fruity smells might like this but its just to much for me... everyone says the ATO on this is bad, honestly I just think its a stinky lotion with a slight added dha burnt smell added afterwards...sorry supre, I like you but you could have done better with this scent:(

☆Lotion☆
4 out of 5
This lotion felt really good on the skin, it was medium thickness and easy to rub in it wasn't greasy or sticky at all, therfore doesn't break me out:) it was averagely moisturizing, my skin feels soft and not dry afterwards, but I feel it could be a tad more moisturizing while tanning, I def wouldn't call this a high mosturizing Lotion but for me that's fine:) be sure to rub this in evenly tho which I will explain y next...

☆Color☆
4 out of 5
This lotion got me dark in just one use!! The color boost I got from this was actually very impressive, although I like the brown color I got from this, I think if I used this more then once a week id be super blotchy and the color would be very unnatural...I could be wrong but I would not recommend this for an everyday lotion or if your pale, because I can see this turning somebody without a base tan orange...I wish I could give a better color review but honestly I'm to scared to use this more then twice a week at max, because this is very obviously a DHA bronzing lotion and not so much a real SUN tan lotion.... but if you want a FAST darkening lotion that looks decent even if its not all yours, i think ull really like this.

☆Notes☆
I give the color 4 out of 5 as a fast acting once a week lotion for when i Want a color boost:) and a 3.5 as an all around lotion because I prefer a SUN tan that will last and not just a quick DHA tan.

☆Smell☆
4.5 out of 5
I really LOVE the smell of this because I'm more of a spicey scent lover over a sweet smell, and this is GREAT for me:) it smells like amber with a very very light spice cologne smell but not manly, just warm and nice, and its not overpowering at all:) This is a great unisex scent!! The ATO is actually extremely pleasant! It not only doesn't have any cooked or "ive been tanning"smell, it will actually cover any sweat or tanning oder and leaves a very very light faded scent of amber!! The only reason I've taken off a half a point is because i want to leave 5 stars for my ALL TIME favorite scents, although this was right up there:)

☆Lotion☆
5 out of 5
Lol this lotion is litterally perfect for me, comes out of the bottle a creamy white color, the texture is medium and rubs in super easy, so a little goes along way. But what I like the most is how it feels on the skin, it keeps me very moisturized during tanning, then afterwards isnt sticky or greasy AT ALL, it almost feels like I didn't even use lotion and just have super healthy moist skin, therefore I actually enjoy keeping this on because ik it won't break me out at all, if anything it improves my skin:) ill buy over and over just for this reason! A++++

☆Warming☆
4.5 out of 5
Perfect amount of heat:) its the Same intensity as rue la la but I like this one a bit more because it actually gets me red like a tingle and is even more of a comfortable heat without burn or itch, it also Doesnt Linger all day after tanning!! AND best of all I can and do use it on my face every time,  because like I said its warm but doesn't burn at all... I feel this one actually helps Darken me to,  and its a great heat for beginners!

☆Color☆
4.5 out of 5
Talk about natural color perfection! ! Omg this one is a favorite forsure!! The bronzers in this are sooooo natural, it doesn't have a hint of Orange AND it actually gets u dark from real tanning/burn..not just the bronzers, the natural bronzers just give it a good brown boost!! I love this, its been hours after tanning and I can see my redness turning into a natural dark tan, and im already pretty dark! Yaaay:D

☆Notes☆
This one is my favorite warming lotion so far, but I have many more to try in the future, but this will  Definitely be repurchased over and over by me:)

☆Smell☆ out of 5
I really love this scent!! Since I'm not one for overly fruity or overpowering scents, this lotion was just right!! It def has a scent of sandalwood but its not a overpowering scent, and I can kind of smell the kiwi too but its not sweet kiwi its more of a real kiwi scent, I LOVE how fresh this smells!! It smells more like a light regular lotion scent and not like a candy fruit headache smell:) and there is literally no ATO at all, my bf said It just smells like a nice light lotion...one of my favorites SO FAR:)

☆Lotion☆
5 out of 5
This lotion is the perfect for me, although it is thick and just alittle hard to rub in, it keeps me deeply moisturized while tanning, and once your done tanning its not sticky or greasy at all, its perfect!!! Afterwards I feel like satin or silk and its a deep skin healing type moisture, not just slippery grease that's sitting on the surface, therfore this has not broke me out at all, If anything I really just feel and see the skin benefits and protection with this lotion:) very happy!! A++

♡Warming♡
4 out of 5
If you are somone that likes warm or tingle lotions but are bummed its to intense for your face, this ones for you! ! This is a VERY light warming affect, I didn't really feel it on my body other then just a comfy warm feeling once I was in the bed, kinda like what you already feel when ur tanning, just more relaxing warmth:) perfect....and YES, ik ur not saposta put it on your face BUT honestly its the only place u can actually feel it if you do. Lol and its def bearable and only lasts about 10 mins(your average tanning session) which is great!! After tanning u don't really feel much, maybe just like a light sunburn feel,if that. No itch or discomfort which is a plus for me:) perfect for a beginner.


☆Color☆

3.5 out of 5

This lotion gave a good boost in color, not as dark as some bronzers but pretty good, even tho the warming is minimal I do feel it amplifies the the tanning process by making blood go to the surface of the skin therefore boosting Melanin production, as tingles also do, although this Doesn't give as dramatic of results as a tingle....but def is the next runner up!!! But the reason I love this Soooo much is because the tan it gives you is a natural REAL tan that is decently dark considering this has no bronzers in it at all.... that being said, if you're looking for a lotion that gives a dark tan like a bronzer but is actually all your own..I think you will love this:) 


☆Notes☆

l like this Lotion, id prolly purchase again!!!

I wanted to love this lotion cause not only is it %100 vegan and %93 natural it makes me SOOO soft without that sticky gross feeling, its mosturizing to:) its not to thick and not to thin, it takes a little time to rub in tho, but no streaking. Perfect, right?..Wrong. unfortunately this lotion made me break out like crazy, ,expecially on my chest and I don't have tooo Sensitive of skin....but if you don't get acne at all, ull prolly love the feeling of this lotion. I have to give it a low score tho:(

Didn't give me a color boost at all...but I guess it maintained my already average tan. Maybe this would work for a fair skined person, but it didn't do anything for me.

Although I usually hate really fruity sweet smells, surprisingly I liked this:) its very fruity smelling, more of a candied fruit rather then fresh fruit tho, I wouldn't say its just pear but u can kinda smell the pear...it just smells really sweet...at first it was too overpowering and I didn't like it at all....but once it sat on the skin and calmed down it was actually really nice and didn't give me a headache!! I couldn't stop sniffing my arm. Lol and the ATO isn't bad at all:) id imagine sombody that likes candy sweet smells would LOVE this.

☆Lotion☆
3 out of 5
This lotion is a good consistency, its not runny but def not thick, just average.  It rubs in very nicely and Doesn't streak, it melts into the skin while you rub it in... what I don't like AT ALL is it feels very sticky after tanning, I just want to shower afterwards, cause I feel gross, I guess its not unbearable but I def don't like how it feels after tanning, maybe sombody who likes mosturizing lotion would like this allot, but It just feels sticky to me...its not a deal breaker tho.

☆Color☆
3.5 out of 5
This gives me pretty good color:) but just for ppl that are expecting this to actually be "one and done' it def is not that good. Lol I think the description is a tad misleading, it is however still a good Lotion and you will def get dark after a few uses, im already dark and it gave me a good boost in color, not the darkest I've ever been tho but still pretty good,but idk if its deep color or just bronzers:( I can see allot of ppl liking this Lotion tho:)

☆notes☆
I actually ordered ds rue la la online and instead got one and done.... the guy said I can keep this and he will still send the rue la la.!!!:D Lol but im glad I Tryed this!!! And I suggest you try it to if your thinking about it, it is a great lotion to have in your collection forsure expecially if you like fruity mosturizing lotions!!

The smell is a fruity perfumey smell and its not overwelming, BUT it also has that dha bronzery smell that sunless tanners have, so im not crazy about the scent, it alright tho. The ATO isnt the greatest eaither, its just that typical lite burnt smell, some like the scent of this lotion, I don't unfortunately:(

☆Lotion☆
4 out of 5
This lotion isn't greasy at all but it does moisturize and leave you somwhat soft, it doesn't leave you sticky or feeling gross which I like because it didn't break me out, it rubs in pretty well and really holds up to the no streaking name:)

☆Color☆
4.5 out of 5
I really loved the color I got from this!! It darkend me as well as the high end lotions!! after just 2 tans I had a very deep BROWN tan that didn't just wash off in the shower, im already fairly dark btw:) it felt allot more like a REAL tan rather then just a fake tan that sits on the surface of the skin till you shower... this lotion is good if u like a deep natural looking tan that lasts:D and who Doesn't!!

☆Notes☆
I bought this lotion in 2008 from my tanning salon for $40.00 you can find it now for ALOT less, expecially online for around $20 or less:) id suggest useing this atleast Twice in a row to get good results cause its more of a gradual "deep"tan like I said before:)

Its not a five only because I dont really like the smell, but still get a great tan With this:)
