I haven't been pleased with self-tanners in the past and almost didn't order this, but I am glad I did.  The mousse goes on creamy (once you let the application mitt dry) but is almost instantly absorbed.  Best yet I didn't get a streaky line from applying it down the back of my legs and the color was a very natural warm tan.  No obnoxious smells. I don't like to wear hose so this extends the season for me.  It took about an hour to show, so don't get anxious and reapply.  I'm pretty light so the first week I applied a second coat after 3 days, but I only needed to do that one time.  The color lasts a week.  I have tried several products and this is by far the best!
