Okay, so I have done a search and seen that some salons say it is their best-selling lotion.... um, why? Is it the same people buying this stuff over and over again or do they get it once and swear "never again!!!" like I am doing at the moment?

The smell is kinda bad but I usually don't let myself get turned off of a lotion due to smell alone...... I HATE THE GLITTER!!!!! They never mention the fact that there is gold glitter in this lotion. So now I have to take a shower right after using this stuff.... It is also ridiculously thick. It took me about 10 minutes just to get the stuff out of the bottle and spread onto my body before I could hop into the bed.

Ugh. I hate it.

Sorry about your bad experience with the Beach Bum Rum, I am a guy, and I hate the glitter too, which CALTAN DOES NOT EVEN SAY ABOUT IT!!!!! lol if it werent for the glitter, I would use it more often, but I dont wanna be walking around with glitter all over myself.

I love the scent, and I sorta like the "thickness" to it....

It also gets me really dark...

I think this lotion is too thick as well. I also hate the "after-tan" smell that ALL CalTan products leave on your skin, I think it is gross. I do find that this lotion makes me fairly dark and mositurizes my skin BUT again, I can't stand the stench so I will have to pass on it.

Caltan has their Biosaccharide Complex, which was invented to "PREVENT" the after tan odor...I never smell any after tan odor when using their products, so i guess its just your skin.

YES, my skin must be extra stenchy! HA HA!

I don't care what CalTan says they put in their lotions...they have a bad "after-tan" smell!!

Oh, Im sorry, I didnt mean it that way, I meant that maybe the biosaccharide complex just doesn't work with your skin or sumthing...

I bought the whole bottle which should be fun to try to get the lotion out of..... It took 10 minutes with a full bottle, so I imagine I'll need a spatula and 1/2 hour when it starts to get almost empty.

I am lazy and impatient with the samples, I usually just buy the bottle and hope for the best. I've had very good luck with everything I've bought *thus far*, I guess I was due for a loser like the BBR. =) Maybe I'll save it for the summer to bring to the beach.... at least I'll have plenty of time to apply it then....
