    Does it have the same fruity smell as celeb secrets when it's in the bottle or is it different? When they are in the bottle booster drops don't smell like the 16% solution at all. Lucky you if you have booster drops - they cost alot more then the normal 16% :T

    Ok, this is how bored I am today, here is a pic (I hope you can see it) of my arm with 2 layers of 16% on virtually product free pink toned skin, what really makes me laugh is that I am now the same colour as my dog:rotfl::rotfl:

    FelinePrincess - it does smell fruity but stronger, I think it is 16% and the last bottle wasnt:confused:

    edit at 6.18pm - ok sorry guys had to take pic away cos there was a big thing saying no direct linking cos of the photo editing site I use I guess, hope someone saw it;)

    Hope everyone's tanning is still going well!

    Just to say, I picked up my siennasol parcel from post office yesterday and they had sent me a free sample bottle along with my 1L bottle :D I gave this to a friend to try out, they also sent me a little note saying if I wanted any more samples for friends to let them know, might ask for some more with my next order ;)

    Glowgirl, did you try that new vaseline cocoa butter moisturiser? Would love to know how you got on if you did!

    Hi FelinePrincess

    My tan is not so great, a bit patchy but not too bad I have definitely see it better, and worse as well! I am still none the wiser as to what I'm using but there is certainly something different about this bottle:confused:

    I am actually looking forward to ordering from Siennasol, didn't you do well:T

    I cant find that cream anywhere, they have bottles but not the tub that I want I am going into my nearest large town sometime this week so will have a look there, I will find it:rotfl:. Where I live is a holiday destination and local town at the moment is full of tourists whilst I appreciate the revenue for the area it makes our lovely town very different and not really to my taste, I think I'm getting old:rotfl:and to think until a couple of years ago I lived in the middle of London:eek:.

    I have a like it button appeared, is it wrong for me to press it to say I really like a thread that I started, its a good thread because of everyones input and I would of said it even if I hadn't started it - opinions girls please:)

    Hi Glowgirl,

    Is it the one in the tub that is shown on here? http://www.vaseline.com/Carousel.aspx?Path=Consumer/OurProducts/CocoaButterRange If it is they have it in my local tescos but I didn't but it as I wasn't sure if it was the one!

    Yes I think you should press the like it button, it is a great thread and has really benefited lots of us - it's almost like a tanning bible! Regardless of how dark you want to go, anyone interested in fake tan can learn and benefit from this thread! I have pressed the Like it button! :D

    Afternoon everyone, I bought the vaseline cream last night and gave it a go, it smells like Baileys:Dor was that wishful thinking;) It goes on really well but does feel tacky for a good half an hour then your skin feels soft, my tan is just on the verge of doing the lizard skin thing but putting the cream on instantly revitalsied it:Tand this morning I'm sure my skin looked better, I really like it but it is virtually same as Palmers Cocoa Butter which is much cheaper, vaseline one is £4.99, however Palmers ruins my tan so give me another couple of days and I'll let you know if its done any damage but so far so good:)

    Hows is everyones tanning going? Does anyone have anything new to report? Did anyone see the article in the Mail on Sunday saying that Xentan is the darkest you can buy? yeah right, they should send their reporters to MSE to get the proper facts:rotfl:

    Morning, tan looks rubbish today:confused:really patchy and faded very quickly, I blame the vaseline cream it seems to of lifted it off, oh well another one down the drain, its ok cos my daughter will use it so its not a total waste. I will be having a major tanning session tonight, maybe 2 layers but will have to suffer it today, I'm pretty covered up so its not so bad, roll on this evening:D
