The Best Deep Tanning Lotion I've Ever Used! Feb 22, 2010
This Is an Absolutely !! Excellent!! Lotion!
It is a High End Product - It does deepen your color even if you have "level 3" color like me, and what it does for your skin as a moisturizer is incredible !!
2010 Luminary Bronzer Indoor Tanning Bed Lotion 13.5 oz
This lotion was recommended to me as one the very top products for indoor tanning by the Tanning Salon I use out here in Sunny Southern California - the image capital of the US as well as home to One of the top Sun Worshipping Locations in the country.
Add to that I work outside and live between the beaches and in the deep High Mojave desert; From Malibu to Death Valley. So take it from someone who has to take serious heavy duty care of their skin whil trying to keep myself looking neatly bronzed to avoid a harsh hard highly uneven desert rat/beach bum appearance, I can't settle for anything but the highest quality most effective product available!
Add to that, Like everyone else though, we have to still tan indoors thru the winter months if we want to keep the deep bronze we earn all the rest of the year. Although at the higher altitudes where I am about 50% of the time we are closest to the most available UV Solar Daylight In the Northern Hemisphere, there is still not quite enough of the UV-A radiating to replenish the body and allow effective tanning if desired. Better than most, but not enough such that unless you keep a base tan/color, you can burn more easily!
And it can be just as dry in the winter as in the summer.
I often go for weeks in that part of our climate and at altitudes where there is literally no recordable humidity whatsoever.
Having used this product though has actually caused my skin to grow more moist and smooth than I've ever been able to do even with medicated lotions and protection even under these conditions.
It has an irresistable silicon bead type feel. Although designed for Indoor tanning and therefore somewhat water soluble and safe on clothes and plastic, as it heats up on the skin it really does absorb and enhance whetever you have naturally even on skin like mine which is often dried out from exposure! It stays with you - not greasy at all but smooth light and really pleasant to touch....
It does seem to be on of the top products you can use!
So after I tried a tester/sample and wanted to buy it at the salon, I found out the price they wanted also reflected a platinum grade product. Aaargh.
It was only by an odd quirk that my schedule for the day I first tried it also had me at home relaxing killing a little time which I spent at the computer.
It did not occur to me at ALL that I could find it here at Amazon much less online at all.
But---- if you don't "google" it, how willl you ever know?
The Real surprise though was that I'm able to buy it here at LESS THAN HALF what the salons charge.
Frankly, I almost thought I was going to get a "knock-off" product but still the price was worth taking a chance. Besides, Amazon is excellent about returns and customer satisfaction.
No Knock off here!!! It is as good as good as - no, it's BETTER than buying it at a High End salon
at over twice the price!
I should also mention that I have found at Amazon.com and among their vendors the best price online. Period.
Oh, And the service is Excellent.
Every delivery date I am promised on every order has arrived days and even sometimes up to a week! sooner.
So to summarize:
Best and Highest Quality Product I have ever found;
Best Prices Anywhere online here at Amazon less than half of retail;
Best service you can ever get;
And Highly recommended By myself- Humbly, a World class professional Tanner- Used regularly as my primary skin care in some of the most harsh sun and weather conditions in the NorthWestern Hemisphere! ( I Love it out here!!)
Enjoy, and Bye-Bye for now from Sunny SUNNY SoCal !

Very nice product -- Read for an honest review! Feb 22, 2010
First off, I am the ultimate lab rat to be testing skin products on. I have very very sensitive skin, I can only use Clinique super balanced hypo-allergenic foundation when applying makeup because the cheaper department store makeup will make me break out. I have to use salon products, such as Matrix brands for my shampoo and conditioner because brands such as Suave, VO5, herbal essences, and other cheaper brands will make my forehead, scalp and so on break out. With Lotions I have to use a little more pricey stuff, I can use most of bath and body works stuff, because I will break out on my back or get rashes from too much of perfume infused stuff or lower quality lotion.
I started tanning a couple months ago, I am very very light skin, my skin is often classified as Ivory when it comes to foundation. I have tons of freckles on my face and back. I'm so white you can see my blue veins on my legs, which I've looked at as looking like old granny legs because they are so white and veiny. When I started tanning I was just paying the (...) each time for the packets of lotion at the salon. I had to start for a couple of minutes in the low pressure bed, I went every other day, and now a couple months later I am up to 7 minutes in the medium pressure bed and I'm gradually getting tanner while avoiding getting burnt, which i easily do get burnt.
One thing I've noticed when going tanning, my legs especially will get really dry after wards, I will get rash looking things on the calf of my legs and other areas where it is in direct contact with the tanning bed, it's not actually a rash but more so just uneven tan. I also notice that I smell like burnt skin after wards, I get a little itchy, and with some products if you put alittle on your face your skin will get itchy and sometimes even break out.
I decided to look online for a decent seller of good quality tanning lotions after seeing the prices of my local tanning salon for a bottle. First off, you do have to be careful when shopping online for tanning lotions, they can be old, knock offs, or they can put generic stuff in the bottle and sell it like the real thing. I looked around and found a seller who offered them sealed, offered exchanges/refunds, and had a very good feedback/rating. I was very pleased with them and the lotion arrived wrapped in plastic and was authentic.
When it comes to the lotion itself, I looked around online for a couple days and this was the lotion that had the most pleased customers. There was other cheaper lotions that had decent reviews, but even on those customers would say things as it was their second favorite behind Luminary. So, I figured I'd try the best and go from there. It goes on smooth and I notice it goes further than the rest. The bottle is cute, lights up and looks very princessy. The smell is decent, I can see why people like it. I prefer the smell of Designer Skin's Believe in me, but the smell of luminary seems to last longer after wards. It does leave your skin feeling very soft. I typically go tanning and then shower after wards, but with this I will take a shower and then go tanning because I like how it leaves my skin feeling/smelling. The bronzers also work, not leaving you orange and making you appear tanner faster and gives your skin a more even look.
I would recommend this to anyone and will be sticking to this especially if I can keep getting it half price from my current seller. It took some time debating on spending (...) on a lotion, but when you consider that you get free shipping, a guarantee, the added up costs of buying packets every time, and the fact you get more uses out of this bottle compared to how much you get buying packets each time. Not to mention the quality. Don't think about it, just do it.
While I'm on the subject of products I'm happy with, when you get done spending money buying this head over to Victoria's secret and buy a miraculous push up bra. It makes for the perfect night out, you are tan, smooth, smell good, and you have awesome cleavage/it adds 2 cup sizes, makes any shirt look better. This is coming from someone who just had a baby a year ago and is getting back out there and doing things to feel better, treating herself to some pleasure items, and getting back into shape.
Happy shopping!

Probably the best on the market Feb 20, 2010
I have used this twice already (once with the Masquerade as a substitute until this gem came in) and I'm ridiculously bronze (in the best way)!! This lotion smells very pretty and is not overpowering. It also absorbs very quickly so you don't have to wait too long to hop into the tanning bed. It also glides onto the skin very nicely, almost ensuring a nice and even application. I must say that the bottle is beautiful and the lights on the logo are even more adorable (very sensitive though)!! It's best to buy the bottle online because tanning salons will sell this for anywhere from $75 to 130.

Best tanning lotion ive ever used Jan 17, 2010
I LOVE this stuff. I as well have used many designer skin lotions including black. This stuff is amazing. I saw a huge difference from my bronze bohemian in only five days. It is very much worth the money if you want a good tan!

AMAZING PRODUCT!! Jan 13, 2010
I just received this lotion today, and instantly fell in love. When i first applied it to my skin, it felt so soft and amazingly silky, even better than Black 20x. This is hands down, the best "smelling" tanning lotion i have ever purchased! and not to mention, the packaging along with the ligh-up stars, was super cutee! As for the scent, i would definately describe it as citrusy and fresh, which is a very nice scent for going in the tanning booth. I'm not a fan of the after smell of tanning, so having the fragrance from this product definately helps!
The only problem i had was that my shipping was delivered a day after the estimated delivery date, but i have a feeling it was partly the post office's fault, due to being inconsiderately SLOW.
I would definately buy this product again!!
:)
