Before I started using this, I both read and saw reviews where people claimed they had the BUS on for an hour to 3 and became brown. I had it on for 4 hours and can promise that I don't even look sun-kissed. Maybe a peck at best. I usually don't have BUS on for more than 3 hours and usually get significantly browner.
+ colorguarden is clear
+ dries quickly (no sticky feeling)
+ applies evenly
+ nice color from the little I see
+ don't experience it smelling much
- very scary color on the guard after a while, recommend that you DARE to keep it on a little longer!
- dries quickly, if you get a spot it's DONE
- hard to work in layers. I experience that the first layer lifts when you apply the next one
Overall, my big disappointment lies more in all the previous reviews I read and looked at that claimed the color develops significantly after washing it off in a short time. That's not true, dare to keep the BUS on longer no matter how scary it looks. It will be worth it
