  • I am a swim instructor and teach kids how to swim. I'm in the water 8 hours a week. Will this product stay on my skin?

  • I see on the website that it comes in the 8 oz size-how many uses would you say you get out of it? :-)

  • I've tried so many of the white or clear tanning lotions and have always and i mean always ended up with streaks on my legs or blotches and dark spots. I've been wanting to tan at the salon but i want to go a more healthier way.. I've purchased this tanning lotion and i'm so excited to start! Thank you for the review and the tip about using the brush!

  • Comment removed

  • @arthurrr2006 Yes, i would recommend putting on lotion first, on elbows, knees, feet and then apply the tanner so less product collects in those areas.

    and yes, you can tan after - just be sure to apply an SPF!

  • Hi there. The deciding factor for me was that Sun Labs doesn't contain Parabens. SO that's what put me over the edge! :D

  • You mentioned that you used to wear the bare escentials self tanner. In your opinion what made this one your choice over that one. One thing I noticed is that I received an email from Sun Labs and they had a buy one get one free. So I'm up in the air as to which one I should invest in. I like your honesty in your videos so looking forward to your opinion.

  • one more question.how do you apply it to you backside?

  • @BrittaDallas I used a mitt and turn myself into a human pretzel! lol

  • I want to use a self tanner but the problem is I have a job where I am constantly moving so I sweat. I also work out and sweat. Do you know of any good tanners that are sweatproof and wont rub off on clothing? I used to use jergens natural glow, got pretty good color from it, but then I did a work out and it wiped off all over the towel and I was pale again :(

  • @BrittaDallas This one is really good. After you shower in the morning, and wash the color guard off, no color comes off on clothing.

  • I wanted to try this one but when I checked the ingredients, there were parabens. But I've been using a self-tanner called Toma's Total Tan and it works great and I checked the ingredients and it is paraben free! You should try it :)

  • @SareenSparkles That is so strange - i did check mine and no parabens listed in the ingredients.

  • Where did you buy your brush?

  • @vildekruger I bought mine off QVC

  • Love all your videos so much.... Do you know how long it takes for shipment for the selftanner? Do you still like it and recommend this product?

  • @ydelrod It was pretty quick for them to ship to me...about less then a week. LOVE this tanner - #1 in my opinion!

  • Please check the ingredients of the self-tanning lotion. Katherine from Wildkatmakeup just reviewed this product and showed that even though the front of the bottle says paraben-free, the ingredients on the back did contain methylparaben and propylparaben...she held the bottle right in the camera and showed it...

  • @spacebizkit1966 That is so strange - i did check mine and no parabens listed in the ingredients.

  • @ArmenianKisses I got mine with a set from Bare Escentuals. i dont think you can buy it seperately.

  • @TheBranzFactor thanks so much! welcome to my channel!

  • How do you compare this to Bare Escentuals Faux tan?

  • @gmillhouse well this one wins out - No parabens!!!

    

  • this shirt looks amazing on you!!! xoxox miss ya girly!

    Natalie

  • @SparklicityNo6 thanks so much Natalie!  xoxo

  • got to try the brush method!

  • @thehockstra it's the best way to apply!

  • Your tan looks so pretty and natural! That set is such a great deal.

  • @Blush900 thank you! I'm loving this tanner!

  • I love the BE brush, but the tanner sucked and I had to send it back!

  • @missmins82 I didn't like that the BE contained parabens! :(

  • Website says its sold out :(

  • @missmins82 oh no! Keep checking back - hopefully they restock soon!

  • You are one of my favs, but you don't post enough videos! I guess I am greedy! haha I wouldn't have the time to do them either! But, try and keep them coming! Thanks!

  • @freedomfighter790 aww thank you so much! I'll try harder to post more!! :D

  • Hey Jen! Your tan looks great! I was wondering how you apply the self tanner on your back? I can never reach and it ends up spotty lol.

  • @shelovescandy85 ugh - that's the hardest part - basically I become a human pretzel! LOL but i did see this thing that they sell now where it has a long handle and a pad to reach your back - gonna look into that.

  • Hey Jen! I have to congratulate you on such a great review! I think it's the best one I've seen so far concerning the Sun Labs tanners. I learned so much from this. :)

  • @mylittlecasey1 Oh wow - thanks!! I appreciate that!

  • Great review! I really need to try this! You look stunning in this video! I love this shirt! Just wanted to let you know I added you to my channel as one of my fav guru!

  • @DeeDoesMakeup OMG - thank you SOO MUCH!! how sweet!! I so apprecaite that!!

  • I just tried self tanner for the first time. I've used the gradual tan before, but not a direct spray tan. The brush sounds like such a great way to apply! thanks for the review on Sun Labs!

  • Hey Jen you said no parabens in the tanner--what about the maintainer lotion-does it have parabens in it--the one that smells like cucumber melon? I have an old bare escentuals tanner brush (did not like their tanner) I will use it for this one!.

  • @MsCandid1 nope - no parabens in all three products = awesome!!

  • Hey Jen you said no parabens in the tanner--what about the maintainer lotion-does it have parabens in it? The one that smells like cucumber melon...I have an old bare escentuals tanner brush (did not like their tanner) I will use it for this one!.

  • I have 2 tins in my wardrobe and too woosy to try it as I usually bodge it up lol :0) xxxJoolsxxx

  • just letting you know i checked out there website and they do sell a gallon jug of the self tanner for $125

  • I forgot to mention marshalls has the dark and very dark for about $12 not sure what size of bottle I'm going back today!!

  • That nice your going to the nj shore,I have lived in cape may my whole life I hope you have a great time by the shore, ok i'm off to the beach with the kids :)

  • This is the best self tanner I have used..you described it perfectly..the smell is a cheery/almond smell and it does have that same self tanner odor after it sets a while..very natural looking tan..I have not tried the brush and omg I have to get it..did you say you got it on qvc? I have tried the foam paint brushes before..that is what came with my Fake Bake I ordered before..it worked ok, but not like this one I'm sure..thanks so much

  • @ritashelton yes the brush came with the BE faux tan

  • Hi Jen, I love the Sun Lab self tanner. I found mine @ Ulta. Better prices on the website though. It gives me a reddish tan which looks so much more natural on me. I'm wanting their airbrush kit next! If anyone reading has tried it, let me know how it is plz. Love your vids Jen. Such a great personality you have! ~Michelle

  • Love your top for starters...Tanning! omg..I remember lazing on the beach when i was a teenager and gettin 3rd degree burns Youch...My mom had to call the doctor as i could not even walk to to pee,it was so bad,i beetcha i am gonna pay for that big time......Blisters from head to toe,i was 15, now @ 46 i am showing signs..Beware Ladies..Yay for self tanners...Stay outta that sun unless you slip,slop,slap...Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat, Slip, Slop, Slap!

    ~Linda xxx

  • Hi Jen,

    Just an FYI....I'm in NJ also and I found this self tanner in Marshalls. Worth it for people to take a look and see if they can get it there. I agree....it's great! Thanks, I love your videos!

    Kirsten

  • How did you like the Faux Tan lotion that originally came with your brush?

  • @spacebizkit1966 I really liked it till i realized it contained parabens - no thank you!

  • Where did you get your shirt? I love it and you look adorable!!

    Thanks for the super great application tips!!!!!!

  • @engelneen thanks - i got the shirt at Joyce Leslie

  • Fritos/Wet Dog smell.....hysterical!! And a perfect description. Is there a way to get the BE brush without buying their self tanner? And if not, what's your opinion of their self tanner compared to this one (Sun Labs)? Great review, Jen.

  • @Shelley9090 I don't think there is at this point. hopefully they sell it seperatly soon! I liked the BE faux tan till i noticed it contained parabes - no thanks!

  • That is great to know that they don't have parabens in them. I just looked at my faux tan from bare minerals and it has 2 types the fricken bottles lis almost full :( I am giving it to my sister . Thanks for the review jen have a great holiday!

  • @scarletfire28 ugh - why do they have to include parabens - stop being cheap!!! 

  • I am loving Sun Labs too! I bought mine on Amazon for $14! I've been using self-tanners for over 20 years and this one is my fave!

  • Sun Labs is my favorite self tanner - even better than St. Tropez and Norvell Amber Sun. BUT, their customer service is horrible, horrible, horrible (or at least that was my experience). From what I've heard others say, those who were sent the product to review had great service and fast shipping, but buyers beware, it's not the case if you're just an average Joe. On an unrelated note, I LOVE your blouse - so pretty.

  • I love your lip combos in all ur videos!!

  • can someone please help me? i have never used a self tanner and i am going on a cruise in 3 weeks and want to look tan. will it come off when i get in the water at the beach?

  • @courthef111 it won't come off immediately but prolonged water time will cause it to start to fade...so you will need to reapply when necessary

  • thank you sooo much for doing this video! i was just telling my husband about how great ur tan looked in one of ur last videos...neways i am a self tanner nut! and i got st.tropez and thought i found the answer,and i dont find it to be that good. ugghh!! lol but i wanted to get this was just not sure.. but now i will for sure, and the brush is a great idea.. neways thanks a lot for the video!!

  • I love this product but for some reason when I apply it the next day my tongue is black or dark brown, the color goes away but, do you happened to know why that happens and if I can do something to prevent that from happening? ?

  • @anba2528 really?? i've never heard that before - pehaps you are allergic to an ingredient in it?

  • OMG! I love you top Jen! So pretty and girly!

  • Jen. I have been looking and looking for a self tanner without parabens. So excited to try this. I think they have it at my local Ulta. Also I love your shoes. I wish I was shorter and could wear taller wedges.

  • Thanks for sharing! I'm crazy about self tanners too! I'm really interested in getting one of those brushes! That is an awesome idea, I hope that I can find one! Petee was so cute drinking his water while mamma was talking! LOL! ~T :)

  • @BeautyforEveryday haha he is my special boy - love him!

  • Hi Jen, you look so adorable. Love your blouse. Your amazing when reviewing products. You describe everything so good. There is Mr. Handsome face, Hi Petee. He's wanting in on the action lol. :D ox

  • @hanna72861 thank you so much! haha he is my special boy - love him!

  • OMG, I never thought of that!!! I'm so going to try my current fav with a brush! Thanks for the tip!! Have fun at the shore!! *hugs*

  • Thank you for doing this video Jen! There's so many self tanners that I get so frustrated and say forget it to the whole thing,haha. And partly because of the parabins,color and how to use them. I have never used a self tanner and would like to because like my shoulders and legs would like to match my arms,lol. Have to check this out and sounds pretty easy. Should I go for the dark? Looking forward to your self tanner video! Petee was thirsty,lol...LOVE him! Love your shirt,cute and LOVE u! xoxo

  • @LittleT287 yeah i would start with the dark and build up to the very dark

  • I have that tanner and I love it too! I've only been applying it once a week so my tan isn't that dark. How long do you wait between applications?

  • @cowgirlr5 i normally do it 3 nights in a row to start, then maintain it about twice a week

  • Jen, do you know if I can purchase the BE brush without buying the BE Faux Tan? Thanks for this video. Your color looks great!

  • @Peridot500 i don't think you can...unfortuantely

  • how long does one application last? i mean, when does the tan fade away?

    that color looks great on you. it looks natural.

  • @linamarquez it will last about 5 days without reapplying,,,it just starts to fade like a real tan

  • I almost bought the BE just for the brush..Do they sell the brush separately? Thanks Jenn.....kisses to Petee.~~~Di

  • @ladidi5222 no i don't think you can ...petee says hi!

  • love this stuff! 

  • Great tip about the brush!

  • Normally not into self tanners..but this one sounds interesting..great review and will look into it. I am sun girl..I know..I know..but it is my guilty pleasure reading a boook by the pool n getting bronzed!

  • Your makeup looks amazing, as usual. Also, I love your top. Who's is it?

  • @NYVirgo1972 thank you so much - i bought the top from Joyce Leslie

  • Sun Labs has only positive reviews - I think they work really hard to advertise because some brands, like Fake Bake and St Tropez, seem to overshadow other amazing products like the Sun Labs - especially the exfoliator which is incredible!

  • Thanks for the honest review! I am definitely looking forward to your self tanner overview. Question - do you think this is better than B.E. Faux Tan? I have been using that one for like 7 years and think it is the best I have tried - but if you think this one is better, I'll give it a shot.

  • @guitarrasara Your welcome - you know - BE Faux Tan was my fave - until i realized it contained parabens - DANG!! So now i'm totally diggin this Sun labs one!!

  • thanks nice video :) just wondering do u straighten your hair of is it naturaly like that :) either way its pretty :) thanks again for all the ideos love them , your videos make my day and im only 11 and i love them all

    -sheridan

  • @Sheridan9900 aww thanks! it is naturally straight but i do straighten it just to take away the flyaways...I'm so glad you enjoy my videos!!

  • @BlackLabLover9 ohh you lucky its naturally that straight my hair is frizzy wavy so i either have to straighten it r curl it :) please say hi to peetee for me

  • Great video! I have been thining of using the Sun Labs products and I'm glad you gave this review for us. Will be purchasing the set!!! :)

    Thanks Jen!!!

  • @mandibeth3 Thanks so much!! I think you will love it!! Happy Tanning!

  • how do you do your back with the brush?

  • @stuffstuffstuffyay ugh - that's the hardest part - basically I become a human pretzel! LOL  but i did see this thing that they sell now where it has a long handle and a pad to reach your back - gonna look into that.

  • You look great with that self tanner on. If I saw you in real life and didn't know, I would probably ask if you what island you went to. It's very natural looking. Love the brush idea. Definitely considering it now. Thanks for the review. :). Ps- Hi Petee!

  • @yayformakeup oh thanks - having a tan does wonders! lol Definately try the brush technique! Petee says hi!

  • Jen, you were mentioning that you wanted a large version of the self tanner. I checked the website and they have a 32oz size too! I hope that helps ya! Loved the review!

  • @janejohnson89 hiya - yeah I saw that too but its in the Dark shade - i need the ultra dark - cause i'm a tanning maniac!! LOL!!! but thanks for the heads up!

  • I've got to order this! I've seen a couple of reviews on it but you sold me! I LOVE the brush technique. I've got a flat top kabuki but wish it was bigger. Maybe they Sun Labs will see this and start making one. Also I saw the comment about Leann, thanks for posting that I'd been wondering where she was. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this review!! Love and Hugs to Petie!

  • @MemomMon Aww i'm so glad you are gonna try it....its awesome - i'm a proud self tanner!!  lol Definately try the brush technique!!

    Leann is wonderful - hope she starts making videos again!!

    Petee says hi!!

  • I'm going to have to try this ..Quick Question ..How do you do your back with the brush?

  • @TwishyCareastar ugh - that's the hardest part - basically I become a human pretzel! LOL but i did see this thing that they sell now where it has a long handle and a pad to reach your back - gonna look into that.

  • Hey Jen is this formula oil free? Thanks for the review! (:

  • @janejohnson89 hmm not sure...i didn't notice that on the label...

  • You didn't mention how you liked the lotion? Using that brush sounds like an excellent idea!!! I've gotta get one of those!!

    Thanks for the info!

    ~ Hugs ~

    Suzanne

  • @KARLSCUTIE I liked the lotion - it was nice.

    Ohh try the brush technique - its awesome!!

  • I just bought the xen tan stuff, but I NEED a big ol bad boy brush like yours!! I'm on the hunt big time. Your tan looks so pretty!! I hope this stuff I picked up turns out that pretty..we shall see, but I'm not gonna try it until I find some sort of brushypoo to use with it. My hubby just saw you in this video and he said "she's a pretty girl" and I said yes I know.

  • @susanloveshuskies Yes Susan try a brush - FAB!!! OMG i'm blushing - tell your husband I said thank you - how sweet! :D

  • Great review Jenn . I am a HUGE self tanner. Going to try out a spray tan soon, as i want that all over tan .. (not like anyone ever sees my body) haha.. but i like the all over .. any recomendations? xox

  • @Lanaseattle Thank you so much!! I've never tried a spray tan before but always wanted too - they look FAB!

  • You can fin them at Harmons beauty. But I got 2 of them out of Marshall's!! I love it!!

  • @Tonks1967 Ohh really!  Good to know!

  • Nothing to do with the review, but I did want to ask you......Didn't you follow HummingbirdBeauty (Leeanne)? She's disappeared and I miss her so! Wondered if you had any inside scoop on her.

  • @01fancynancy Yes! I love Leann - she's a peach! She has a new channel - TheCoralCrush

  • @BlackLabLover9 Thank you so much! Gonna go subscribe right now!!

    

  • @BlackLabLover9 I hate to be a pest, but when I search for her on YouTube using TheCoralCrush, nothing's coming up. Do you have a link to her new channel?  Thanks, Jen!

  • Not a bad price for the whole kit. Maybe they'll add a brush after your review! I've never used a self-tanner since waaaaaay back in the day when I turned myself orange :)

  • @01fancynancy I would love to see them add a brush! Self tanners have come a long way baby!

  • Using a brush like that really is the best way! Ever since I saw your video from last year explaining how you do your self tanning, I've been using an old kabuki brush by Bare Minerals. What a great technique! I hope they sell the brush you showed by itself. Im looking into that right away! Thanks Jenn :)

  • @Ladyvegas21 I totally agree - LOVE using a brush! Your quite welcome!

  • Where did you get your top? Love it!

  • @MollyCory1014 Oh thank you! I bought it at Joyce Leslie.

  • You look beautiful Jen!! Have you ever used a tanning mitt? Just curious =) Hope you and Petee are doing well! xoxo Whitney

  • @themakeupstation Ohh yes I have - duh forgot to mention that! That's my second fave after the brush technique. Thanks so much - kisses to Martin!

  • :)
