As a product junkie, I do love Sephora. One of the many things I enjoy is waiting in the check out lanes – checking out new products in travel size!

I had been planning to try St. Tropez’s latest genius –  In Shower Self Tanner but was a bit skeptical. After all, how could something that usually takes hours to properly dry and activate all happen IN THE SHOWER and IN JUST 3 MINUTES?

My fave feature – no waiting to dry, no worries for transferring to clothing. Just shower, apply, wait 3 minutes, rinse, enjoy. On my first use, I followed instructions to the letter and applied in shower, waited 3 minutes then rinsed. However, as I was also concurrently waiting for hair conditioner to absorb as much as possible, there were a few little white streaks caused by water that dripped down and removed it from my legs. SO, for my second day, I lightly blotted excess water from my legs, then applied and waited 3 minutes.

I am SO pleased to report that after 2 uses in 48 hours, a natural glow arrived and lasted for several days after, fading off nicely (not streaky or blotchy) as well. This is a great alternative to standing around for hours waiting for self-tan to dry and I am more than impressed with this technology!
