I have previously used a brand that I was very satisfied with, but I have heard good things about Ida Warg's self-tanning products.
It is really so hard that the product is transparent! You can't see where you've applied it. I was therefore extra careful and applied it 2 times all over my body, but still patchy. It was super hard to get it looking nice on my hands and feet. It absorbed so much in certain areas (I moisturized beforehand) that it became very patchy.
I applied it in the evening just 20 minutes before I went to bed. It didn't transfer. The smell is noticeable, but I've smelled worse.
I tried to improve the patchiness the next day. It went okay!
I feel like the color is orange, but it actually stays on really well. I've had it since Friday, and 4 days later I feel very tanned. Even though I have to live with my patchy feet and hands.
