SugarBaby Tan of the Hour

I was a little apprehensive when I saw the words 'ultra deep' Was I going to end up looking like an oompa-loompa? Was this going to be a TOWIE tan?

Never one to shy away from a BR trial, I decided to embrace the 'ultra deep' - and my oh my, am I glad I did!

This smells very tropical. They aren't exagerrating when they talk about all of the coconut in here haha, you will smell like a bounty bar!

I exfoliated well the night before using this. I used the nifty back applicator and a mitt for my legs, arms etc. I found this easy to apply, you could see where you'd already been and it spread and blended into the skin easily.

I went light on the knees and elbows and was pleased with the result on them, they didn't look dry, or darker than the rest of me.

The colour after 4 hours was sun kissed beach goddess. It was even, golden and smooth. My skin looked so good, and natural!

Ultra deep doesn't mean orange or brown, there's a depth to this tan that is really beautiful and natural.

I will be repurchasing and I will be raving about this to everyone!

I have used many fake tans but this one is definitely on top for me now!!! It is a gel like consistency I applied it with the sugar babe tanning mitt and it has an instant tint so it’s easy to see where you have been. Drys fast and doesn’t leave a sticky residue like some. The best part for me is that it didn’t have that gross fake tan smell for days that lots do, it is lightly scented and came out a lovely even golden tan. Highly recommend. The back applicator was fab and easy to use too!

...and I've tried a lot!

I don't scrimp when it comes to self tan. I'm used to paying upwards of $50 and I'll generally get one to two uses from that.

I was surprised that this product was only $33, the tube is generous and the product goes a long way. It's economical for sure!

The smell is lovely. Sure there's a fake tan scent underneath the coconut, but the coconut does its job admirably and masks the unpleasantness well.

This is easy to apply, absorbs evenly and doesn't go blotchy. There was no clothing transfer during the developing time and showering was very easy and mess free.

The colour was incredibly deep, not in darkness so much as tone. You look like you have grown up in the tropics, naturally a sun kissed goddess.

I love that this is vegan and cruelty-free. I love the ease of application and the depth of colour. Most of all I love that this worked as well on my mood as it did my body - it gave me a real boost and made the last few weeks of winter brighter!

I loved this product!! LOVED the mit for your back I actually used it for my whole body and it did so much better than a hand MIT, left no streaks...The Tan itself was beautiful, Didn't come out orange and I didn't need a lot of product, Also it drys really fast and last longer than 4 washes, I would recommend this to anyone and everyone and this is my favourite would not buy any other Tan product again 😻

I went into trying this product with high hopes that it would become my new go to fake tan however sadly it hasn't meet that expectation. Things I did like about the tanner are; I always appreciate a colour guard to ensure I can see where I've applied product and it has enough colour that you could go out start away and feel like you have some tan. It dried completely in about 10mins and didn't transfer onto my clothes or sheets. It was lightly scented and didn't have that tell tell fake tan smell. And went on so smoothly and left my skin feeling hydrated. It also kept it feeling hydrated for several days after application which other tanners often dry out my skin. And lastly I love that it isn't tested on animals, is vegan and clean. The two major things that let down this product for me were; the colour- unfortunately it's too orange for my liking. It definitely looks like fake tan rather than a natural colour. I prefer a more olive tone. If they changed this would be a big game changer. And secondly, even after following the instructions and exfoliating and moisturising the knees, ankles and wrists the colour still clung to those area and became over saturated. It even happened in areas it hasn't done that in before. I'm a seasoned tanner now so can avoid that with most other tanners.

Firstly i have to say i am a newbie to self tanning lotions, i usually bathe on the sun but i shouldn't do this so trying to get into self tan. As not having many to compare to i found this one to be pretty good. I exfoliated the day before and then applied the next day. It smelt really nice, like i was in the islands. I didn't have a mitt so i applied with my hands, started at the top and worked my way down, i applied quite lightly though as i wasn't sure and didn't want to be dark dark. It went on nicely i thought. I left on for only 3hours and then had a shower. It gave me a nice glowing tan. I don't think it looks like a real tan from the sun though, in my opinion it looks a bit fake. But it's hydrating and overall much better for your skin. I would penalty purchase again because of how nice it smelt and the moisturizing benefits. Overall a pretty nice product.

I was apprehensive to try this product but so glad I did! The darkness of the cream scared me a bit as I’m very pale! Hint - after exfoliating I gently moisturised my elbows, wrists, knees and ankles and then applied the tan. I left on for 2 hours as I’m very pale and wanted more of a soft golden look for spring! This was the perfect amount of time and it came out looking great and streak free with no blotchiness! I think in summer I would leave on for 3.5 hours for a darker look. It has a lovely hint of coconut and applies smoothly and evenly. I noticed that day 2 and 3 it had developed further which I actually really liked. I will definitely be using this through summer and recommend to friends! Love it!

I generally only use fake tan in summer because I find it a hassle to apply, but this was SO easy! I used a tan applicator glove which I really think is necessary, but the product itself definitely glides on smoothly. I then used the Sugar Baby back applicator to buff around ankles and knees.

I love the scent of this. Vanilla and caramel deliciousness. After a while the sweet fragrance disappears and you get the distinct ‘fake tan’ smell coming through, but it’s certainly not as bad as other products I’ve used.

I was also impressed that it started developing within an hour, exactly as advertised. It means if you unexpectedly get a sunny day and want to show some skin you can apply this in the morning and be ready for the day.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the SugarBaby Tan of the Hour self-tanning product, and I'd like to share my thoughts and experiences with you. As a regular user of self-tanning products, I was eager to see how this one compared to my usual go-to, Bondi Sands Ultra Dark.

First and foremost, the scent of SugarBaby Tan of the Hour pleasantly surprised me. It had a nice, mild fragrance that didn't overwhelm my senses. Unlike some self-tanners, this one didn't leave me smelling like I'd just emerged from a chemical factory, and for that, it earns some extra points.

I was pleased to find that SugarBaby Tan of the Hour left a natural-looking tan tone that didn't veer into the dreaded "orange" territory.

However, I must admit that I had higher expectations in terms of the depth of the tan. Given that I typically use Bondi Sands Ultra Dark, I found SugarBaby's Tan of the Hour to be slightly lighter in comparison. While it did provide a nice, subtle tan, it wasn't as dark as I had hoped for.

In terms of the texture and feel, the product was fairly hydrating, which is always a plus. However, I did notice that it felt a bit sticky on my skin after application. While this stickiness did subside somewhat as the product dried, it was still a noticeable drawback for me. I know this is normal for cream based products, but I just don't enjoy the feeling.

Overall, I am content with the results I achieved with SugarBaby Tan of the Hour. However, if I were to weigh the pros and cons, I'd have to say that I probably wouldn't repurchase this product. My personal preference leans towards Bondi Sands Ultra Dark foam, primarily because it delivers a deeper color and dries faster, without the lingering stickiness.

In conclusion, SugarBaby Tan of the Hour does have its merits, such as a pleasant, mild scent and a natural-looking tan tone. However, it falls short of my expectations in terms of color depth and I don't like the sticky feeling. Ultimately, the choice of self-tanning product may come down to personal preferences, and while I'm happy enough with the results, I'll likely stick with my tried-and-true Bondi Sands Ultra Dark for now.

I applied my sugarbaby tan of the hour with a tanning mitt I had already. I liked the consistency as it was thick and creamy so was really easy to apply and it just glided on.

The smell was faint actually less than alot of other tanning products I couldnt notice the smell after application at all unlike others.

Great coverage, great colour dried really quickly so was able to get dressed about 10minutes after. I left on for 3 hours until I showered, and when I did I didnt use any soap I just let the water run over me to get rid of the top layer of bronzer, pat dried then went about my day.

I highly recommend this product. I use fake tan all through summer and this is now my new favourite.
