Max My Color!! Advice?! - tanTALK

c_bourgeois · 06-16-2009, 11:36 AM

So, I went into my local salon because they are having a 20% off sale on all of their lotions...due to the economy, they are having to close one of their locations so I assume the sale is to help increase sales and get clients in the store. Anyhoo, I have been tanning for about 6 weeks in a low pressure bed 20 minute bed and am leaving in 3 days for vacation. I want to max my color the best I can before I leave for the beach and I need help deciding what to do...when I went into the salon, I had made my mind up that I was going to buy DC Haute Couture, because in my rotation right now is all bronzers, DS Black, DS Smile your dark, and SB Priceless. She told me that DC Haute does have bronzers?! Anyway, the bottle on sale is 60something and she told me that a bottle of DC Mon Ame would be 60something as well. BUT, she was suggesting to me DC Devoted to Couture and REALLY pushing Nano Lux saying that she loved it.
So, my question is...what lotion do you guys suggest to max my color or should I keep using the rotation that I have and upgrade to a HP bed for the next 3 days? I'd love to do both, lotion and HP bed, but cannot afford to do both since we are leaving on vacation.

Thanks so much for your help!!! I really appreciate it!!

HP bed. DEFINITELY. The lotions you have are good....UNLESS they have some DC CODE or LOVER PERFECT in stock.

Nice.

I did see DC Code, but she didn't say anything about that one. How does it compare to Vertu or With Love?
Oh and does Haute Couture have bronzers?

Vertu and With Love have longer lasting bronzers than Code. Code scent is great though. I like the consistency of With Love and I get more color with it.

I don't have to info on Haute Couture we don't carry that one and I'm not at the salon to check it out for you.

no bronzers in Haute couture.

Okay guys, I was looking through my bathroom cabinet tonight and I found a brand new bottle of Fiji Blend Samba...I bought it when I first started tanning and it looked really bad because I was really fair. SO, does anyone have any experience with Samba? I'm nervous about using it because of my result from last time!!
