If you love anything coconut scented, then you'll love this bronzer! Made with organic coconut water and oil it smells just as good as it makes your skin feel. The formula was thicker than I had expected for a bronzing lotion, but this made it really easy to see any areas that needed any extra coverage. It dries super quickly and doesn't leave a sticky feel either, which is great if you are in a bit of a rush to head somewhere to show off your freshly bronzed skin. Being a wash off formula it's easy to remove in the shower, but this means it can smudge if you get a little sweaty. I also made the mistake of putting it on before bed one night and ended up with a light stain on my sheet, which unfortunately didn't completely come out in the wash. And yes, it WILL come off in chlorinated pools. So if you are heading to a pool and are wanting a little colour on your skin, I'd go for a tanner instead. I personally found the mica content was a little too high for my bronzing preference and the first time I decided to try an extra layer was just too much sparkle. But, even with a few cons, it'll still be my go-to for a quick instant bronzer. Especially since it's so moisturising and smells like a tropical holiday in the sunshine!

Tips: If you're after a deeper bronze without too much sparkle, I recommend using a light tanning product first, then follow up with a layer of Bronze Radiance.
This instant bronzer is awesome! Love the packaging and it has a great lid which when you squeeze the product out it doesn’t come out too fast. This bronzer is a great consistency it’s not to thick. Super smooth to apply and easy as to get a streak free glow! It has the perfect amount of colour for that sun kissed golden tan. The cream has a light coconut scent and no sticky residue or fake tan smell. This bronzer has a gorgeous fine sparkle to it which makes your skin look even more sun kissed and glowing. It doesn’t leave your clothing or sheets marked either!!! This product washes off in the shower easily, and you can apply it overtop of moisturiser too and it still works just as well. The best instant bronzer I have ever tried and one I will Definitely continue to use. Love it!
Tips: If you want a darker looking tan let it dry and reapply! I also do my knees, ankles and around and overtop of my feet after all the other parts of my legs are done, that way you don’t get left with darker patches.
Love this tan! I was apprehensive when I saw how dark the cream was when it came out of the tube, but with the help of a mitt, it blended really easily. The drying time was only a minute or so, and left my skin feeling soft and hydrated. And an added surprise was the sparkles! Love the glitter shimmer, just made me smile! I also appreciate that it's vegan and cruelty free. At $33 I feel it is an affordable and I would recommend this to anyone who loves a hassle free temporary tan, and a bit of sparkle!
I used this just before I went to a wedding, it dried quickly as I did it 40 minutes before I had to leave and it sunk it well and didn't rub off on clothes so that was awesome. Easy application and wasn't streaky. It was quite shimmery so in the afternoon it was maybe a bit much, but hey I owned it anyway! Smelt awesome and the application was easy and not messy, wiped off the bathroom bench easily too. I would definitely use it again. I didn't see it wash off in the shower, was pretty subtle.
Tips: Do it early and layer for a darker effect, lasted all night for me!
I would totally recommend this product. It was silky widen using it and left no streaks. I had to apply twice to get a darker tan. It had shimmer in it to make it look fresh ans sparkly. It dried very quickly and I was able to wear my clothes straight away. It washed off easily the next day and left no marks on my sheets. I was completely satisfied with this product and would buy it in the future for nights out or days out.
Tips: Would need to apply 2-3 coats to get a dark tan. But to take the glare off white skin 1 coat did the trick.
The SugarBaby Bronze Radiance Instant Glow Wash Off Bronzing Cream is in a 200ml on-brand tube. It states it is Vegan friendly so includes no animal ingredients or testing. Instructions on the tube are easy to read and follow.
The product glides on easily and can mixed with a little moisturiser if a little too dark - good for if you are simply trying to cover strap lines etc to blend with existing tan.
This creme smells nice with a coconut fragrance, not too much of a chemical smell like other tanning products. It also actually feels nourishing as you apply, which rings true with the packaging stating it contains organic coconut concentrates, sweet almond oil, shea butter, macadamia oil and aloe vera.
This product leaves you with a gorgeous sun kissed glowy kind of tan that doesn't look orange and fake. It genuinely stays on until you wash it off.
Tips: Apply in a circular motion to avoid streaks and wait until product feels dry on your skin before dressing to avoid transfer of colour onto clothes.
I was keen to give this Sugar Baby bronzer a go as the words 'Bronze Radiance' and 'Instant Glow' sounded pretty awesome to me! But, I must admit, I was a little nervous as well.
I've never had that much luck with self-tanning products - I always seem to end up in a right mess, with 'streaks' and an uneven skin tone! Plus I'd decided to give this product a whirl right before I was due to head out for the evening, so I was really crossing my fingers it'd work.
I followed the instructions on the back of the tube, and used the Sugar Baby tanning mitt provided in the set.
This bronzer has a thick consistency, but it's not gluggy and so thick that it's hard to get from the tube. And, thankfully, it's not watery.
I also liked knowing that I was applying a clean, kind and vegan product to my skin too - this bronzer contains botanics and organic coconut concentrates. So, you know you're being kind to your skin by using this product. You're not only saving yourself from the sun's harsh rays, but you're also actually moisturising and nourishing your skin when applying this bronzer.
But what does it look once it's on? Well, when I initially squeezed it from the tube, it looked quite dark! So, again, I was a bit worried - 'oh oh, how's this going to turn out?' But when I started to smooth it on to my skin (evenly - with the aid of a mitt), the colour lightened up, to become a gorgeous, natural-looking, sunkissed colour - 'bronze radiance' indeed! It certainly lives up to its name!
It really looked great and my skin was glowing! But, still, I was nervous - even after seeing what a great colour it'd given my skin and how healthy I looked! How long was it going to take to dry? That was my next question... Was it going to rub off on my clothes, towels or bedding later on? Was it going to come off while I was out?
I needn't have worried at all! Firstly, it didn't take long to dry. I just read a magazine for a bit and then when I touched my skin again, it had dried. So I was able to put my glad rags on and just head out! I must admit, when I was out, I was STILL a bit worried. Was it coming off on the restaurant chairs or on my clothes? No! It had dried, and it just stayed on. No worries.
When I got home later, I had a shower and it came straight off! Unbelievable! Gone are the days where you have streaks of colour everywhere after trying to give yourself a fake tan. Water definitely gets it off, pronto! But what I like about that is that it's easy to get off - you don't have to scrub your skin raw in order to get rid of it. You can use it when you want to look a bit more sunkissed and give your skin a healthy, radiant glow, but then afterwards you can just wash it off effortlessly, without leaving tanning marks on your bed linen, etc. No mess, no nasties, just a lovely, radiant, bronzed glow when you need it. Five kisses for sunkissed skin with this Sugar Baby!
Tips: * Definitely use a tanning mitt to make sure you smooth it into your skin properly and don't inadvertently create uneven patches or streaks.
*Don't apply this before heading to the beach or public pools for a swim. It is meant to be used once and then washed off, It washes off really easily, but then it doesn't spread itself around and tint everything it touches.
*Remember to still use sunscreen if you are heading out in the sun! This bronzer doesn't contain spf, so you still need to make the effort to shield your skin from the sun's harsh rays if you're heading out in the sun.
I'm extremely pale, and when I first squeezed out the cream onto the mitt provided, I was a little concerned at how it would look on my skin. But as I applied, I could see my worries were unfounded. You are in control of how much to apply, and can add more colour if so desired. I started with one application and loved the result. A second application does darken the skin noticeably, but still gives a natural look, so worth doing if the holiday tan is what you desire.
The package is a generous 200 mL, and the tube is very pliable and easy to squeeze, so the cream comes out readily, but thick enough that it doesn't go everywhere. The cream glides on beautifully, and stays spreadable for enough time to rub it in evenly over your skin. Within a few minutes, it is dry enough to dress and be on your way. The light coconut scent is really pleasant and never turns into that strange chemical smell so many fake tans produce, and it leaves a slight glimmer to the skin which makes your skin look amazing.
I absolutely ADORED this new bronzing cream. It did everything it said it would and more. I'll be saying bye, bye to my old fake tans and stocking up on this gorgeous product from now on.
Thank you for choosing me for to test this product, BR Team. This is simply one of the best fake tans out there.
Tips: If you want a darker tan, apply a second coat 15 minutes after the first but apply sparingly and build up.
When I first squirted the SugarBaby Bronze Radiance Instant Glow Wash Off Bronzing Cream out and started applying it it looked alarmingly dark, but I found it spreads into a beautiful shimmery glow which you can build up as little or as dark as you like.
The bronzing cream didn't seem to have much of a scent (it has a natural fragrence) and does fade away or rub off so I'd recommend building it up more than you think you need to.
This SugarBaby Bronze Radiance Instant Glow Wash Off Bronzing Cream ticks so many ethical boxes - Sugarbaby is against animal testing and this product contains no parabens, sulphates, animal ingredients or other nasties.
I love the design of the tube - opening from the bottom means you don’t have to squeeze it too hard with a single hand to get it out and you can snap it closed against your body when your other hand is in a mitt covered in bronzing cream.
While one of the benefits of this product is not having to wait for your tan to develop, I found it still rubbed off on tighter clothes when I got dressed even when my skin felt dry to touch.
I thought better than to wear a white tee and it didn’t noticeably rub off on my sheets overnight when I forgot to shower after using it, but when I accidentally dropped some product on a discarded pair of grey trackies on my bathroom floor and the stain remained after washing.
On the plus side it's great that the SugarBaby Bronze Radiance Instant Glow Wash Off Bronzing Cream does wash off easily straight away rather than requiring the efforts needed to get rid of a patchy fake tan!
Tips: Use a tanning mitt for an all over even glow but also note that to avoid staining clothes it's safer just to use this product on exposed skin and to shower afterwards.
Firstly, this is the most heavenly scented product I've ever used! It has a super dreamy tropical coconut scent so you can actually feel like you've been sunning yourself on a tropical island.
This bronzer comes in a pretty tube with no excess wasteful packaging. The product itself is quite thick, so you need to be careful it doesn't repell off your mitt if using one.
The bronzer has a brown tone so it gives a naturally tanned look, no orange! I have fairly pale skin and it gave a natural looking tan with a lovely super fine shimmer. The bronzer blended well with the Sugar Baby tanning mitt. It was forgiving for any mistakes, they blended out nicely.
I did get some colour transfer even having waited for it to dry first so I would recommend allowing plenty of drying time and being careful with clothing choices. It washed out OK for me, but it could be an issue for white fabrics.
The bronzer is a cruelty-free clean product so it's pretty unique as most others tend to be fairly chemical heavy. This is definitely a good option for someone avoiding harmful chemicals in their beauty products and I just have to mention that amazing scent one more time...
