Price: you can find it in any drugstore, it costs about 5-7€ for 250 ml.
Smell: it has apricot smell, so fresh fruity scent. During the self-tanner developing phase it has that typical self-tanner aroma.
Application: I applied it like a lotion with my hands (wash hands thoroughly after the application). It doesn’t have the colour indicator but it wasn’t streaky even after first application (just make sure to blend it well on your body). It was moisturising enough to be used instead of a regular body lotion if you don’t mind the scent of self-tanner when developing. It felt sticky for quite some time (even up to 4 hours) so I would apply it only in the evening when not going anywhere. Also, I noticed that it stained my sheets first night after application so make sure it’s really dry before going to bed and try not to sweat too much.

Colour: after 2 applications, it went up by 3 colours (in MAC shades) but you won’t get a lot more out of it (which is surprising since I chose “Deep sun-kissed look version). This self-tanner is more suitable for winter when you don’t need to look dark but want to add some colour not to look like a ghost.
Longevity and fading: it lasted 3 days before it started to fade. It faded little bit patchy here and there but since the colour is not very different from the skin it is not a tragedy. One bottle will last you about a month (if you use it 3 times a week).
Final verdict: Since it was very sticky and stained my sheets I don’t think I will repurchase it. I think there are better light colour self-tanners that can do the job without these 2 flaws.
