Price: I bought it last year for 18€ for 148 ml on www.paulaschoice-eu.com, but I've only seen it on US website currently on sale for 6,50$ so I'm not sure if it's going to be discontinued or not.
Smell: it doesn't have a smell during the application but smells like self-tanner when developing.
Application: it was easy to apply as it has kind of gel-lotion consistency. I used a mitt to apply it but it would be possible with just hands as well (just wash them well after the application). It wasn't sticky; it soaked in the skin quite quickly. It has light colour applicator so it helped to avoid streaky situation.

Colour: after first application the colour went by few shades with little bit of yellow undertone and it looked nice. With second application it started to look little bit orangey so I would not apply more than 2 layers and keep it just few shades darker. It would be good self-tanner for the winter season.
Longevity and shading: the tan lasted about 5 days before it started to fade. First it was fading nicely but than I started seeing some patches so don't let it fade too long rather scrub the tan off. One bottle lasted quite a long time, almost 2 months.
Final verdict: I didn't like the colour especially as it was turning orange after 2nd application. I used it up but I wouldn't repurchase it again; I still prefer St.Tropez bronzing mousse even though it's more expensive.
