REVIEW I am used to using San Tropez, but a friend of mine recommended this so I thought I'd give it a go, as she looked a nice colour.
I have always been told that the key to a no streaks tan is, moisturise, moisturise, moisturise, but with all the moisturising I did under the spray, I didn't feel it dried very quickly in fact an hour later I was still feeling a bit sticky, so my advise would be DO NOT OVER MOISTURISE or at least if you do make sure you let it dry before you apply the spray tan.
Other tans I've used have had colour so when you apply them to the skin you can see which areas you have or haven't done, making application easier, however even though I couldn't really tell with this I did not end up streaking, so the even tan that it boasts to give was indeed true! The added benefit is that you can go out once this has applied without worrying about people thinking you have mud on your face, unlike st tropez.
I like to use latex gloves when I apply a tan, you may be thinking this isn't necessary with a spray on and you may indeed be right, but please bear in mind I did rub it in a little bit! I found that it was impossible with the gloves on as I lost control of the bottle and it became way too slippery (until I ingeniously put rubber bands round it).
I am not sure whether it was just me applying it badly, however it wasn't the easiest tan to apply.
This morning I woke up had my shower and found myself looking nice and brown, I wasn't orange and I wasn't streaky. This wasn't the darkest tan and not as natural as the more expensive brand, however great value for money I would definitely buy it again...and I won't fuss with the moisturiser and glove next time.
