  • Do you still enjoy the bare escentuals faux tan over other self tanners? Do you have any new favorites? I'm in desperate need of a good self tanner that won't make me orange and streaky. I'm pretty pale right now lol I'm leaning toward faux tan but I'd like ur opinion!

  • How do you get your back?

  • For the drugstore tanners, there are mitts you can buy for the application! I know that St. Tropez has one at Sephora for about six dollars or so. It makes a difference.

  • I also love the faux tan by bare escentuals.. I actually just put it in my... products that actually work blog post...

  • Comment removed

  • have you tried the fake bake flawless tanning liquid?

  • Thanks for the suggestions! I have been looking for a self tanner.

  • Does the bare escentuals tanner stain your clothes?

  • I'm going on vacation in April and I want a self tanner, not a sunless one, because I dont tan easily. I want it to be gradual nit dramatic. Any recommendations?

  • The jergens didnt work for me either and it smells so bad! have you ever tried the sun labs tanner? i love it but i'm wondering if faux tan is better

  • ive never done this but i watch your videos because i love to watch you!! :DD 

  • For me, the Bare Escentuals Faux Tan didn't work for me. It looked great indoors, but in natural light, it was bright orange and streaky. Blech. So..I'll be selling it on Ebay. I had better luck with the Coppertone Airbrush stuff.

  • Could you do this makeup look ? Ppppllleeaasseee ? :)

  • I love how ur informative and stuff u should work for QVC!

  • i cant find the bare escentuals in the big bottle and brush anywhere plz help :)

  • check out a giveaway @ MelonJayGlam

  • If you took a shower and then put it on, when your completly dry, and then let it dry and go to sleep, in the morning could you take a shower and it doesnt come off? Or will it come off?

  • @gorilladurham self tanners kind of work like a lipstain. You could say they "stain" your body. But yes , some of it will come off , but it depends which one you use :)

  • off subject but OMG you remind me of Ashley Judd!!!

  • @momplustwoboys ....and could be Faith Hill's sister! Very pretty young lady :)

  • i put self tanner on my chest and it faded and i look like a god damn blochy freak:( and help to fix it.?

  • You need to try Sun Labs self tanner, it is about 39.99 and it is AMAZING. i just got mine :D love it

  • @sugarpuffles It's like $50 with shipping!

  • Thank you SO much for reviewing these products. I, like you, have tried so, so many. I've been looking into the Bare Escentuals one, but I wasn't too sure about it because I've never heard of it.

    I know I can trust you because the Banana Boat is definitely my favorite drugstore product, too! I will definitely be ordering Bare Escentuals and the brush now.

    Thanks again!

  • OMG the Loreal sublime bronzer is HORRIBLE i completely agree! it made me so dark, not orange, which  i liked but when it started to fade i looked like i had a skin disease!!

  • hi, is there a good self tanner from the drug store you can recommend. thanks.

  • jergans natural glow! <3

  • Everyone needs to try Sun Labs tanner!!!! AWESOME!!!

  • Im going to try Faux Tan. I tried St. Tropez and had an allergic reaction to it. Everyone raves about st. tropez too. Thanx for shareing about Faux Tan!!

  • Your tan looks very and pretty. Im going to

  • yes Jergans is scaly fading to me used it last year and you had to wait forever for it to dry.

  • whats the jergans like at fading? is it scaly

  • ive had some of those that fade really badly and patchy. even if ive scrubbed to try to get it off! ive looked like a had a disease! and then my skin has gone bright red and patchy from exfoliating. thanks for the review

  • Hey i was wondering where i can buy faux tan?? i am from canada and i dont no where to get it id love to try it..do u have a website?

    Have a Nice day =)

  • You are very well spoken, good review too.

  • I LOVE YOUR VOICE OMG

  • BEST. SELF-TAN. EVER.... Quick Tan by Body Drench. It is ideal for Fall-Winter-Spring. This is because in the summer you typically go to the beach or go swimming, and Quick Tan in a temporary tan that washes away with heavy amounts of moisture- (bathing). I use it day-to-day and get compliments all the time. I have even been asked if I recently went to the beach. IT IS WONDERFUL. Only issue- it only lasts until you bathe again. But it smells wonderful and applies so evenly. LOVE IT.

  • your my BEAUTYYY MOMMY!!!!!!!! you teach me so much and i love you for it! thanks for so many amazing videos!

  • Any recommendations for drugstore face tanners that you do like?

  • The 4.5 oz faux tan is 22$ the 16 oz faux tan is 54$

  • straight to the point great video and I've watched so many on tanners!

  • ..I wanna be your best friend. 

  • This video really helped! I think L'Oreal tanners aren't as great as I hoped they would be. I'm tending to lean toward the more expensive ones so they won't splotch away. I'm pretty sure it was the L'Oreal self tanner I used (the spray gel) that caused mine to just go away and make my skin look so horrible! Thanks so much for this vid!

  • but does it fade or come off when you shower ?

  • @jolynedupuiscormier it will fade a little but if you leave it on for about 6 hours or more (i useuley do it over nite) it will become your skin color so it stays on for like 3 to 4 days just don't exfoliate!

  • Sorry..typo! Bronze Velvet is hard to find. Worth the search tho :)

  • EnhanceMe's Bronze Velvet spray is the best self tanner I've ever used,.hrd

  • ive tried banana boat & it made me ORANGE.

  • This was SO helpful!!! :)

  • this is wonderful Emily, also love ur earrings! xxx

  • Where did those earrings come from!!??

  • @Asdf4335 read the description box!?!

  • How do you apply it to your back wo missing spots??

  • Have you ever used St. Tropez self tanning lotion? Is it not as good, as good, or better than the Faux Tan?

  • The scent is almond! Love it!

  • As far as faux tans, I was wondering if you have ever used the Sun Labatories..? I love it and it is very popular..If so do you like the Bare Escentuals better?

  • QUESTION!! How does the faux show up on stretch marks?? And if you use it and take a shower does it come off??

  • @MsSweaters hey i have used and still do use the faux tan and it does nothing to my stretch marks that i have on my thighs and in the shower it dosn't come off. it sorta fades but its barely noticeable. and it lasts (on me) for about 4-5 days and i shower almost everyday. :)

  • Comment removed

  • The Loreal SUCKED!! I agree....I got one because I like those self tanners...it made me sparkled like a twilight vampire and it smelled disgusting for hours....lol

  • Have you tried the sunlabs Tanner?? if so what do you think?

  • Great video and just what I needed. Thank you Emily!

  • I have gotten the Jergins to work. It's definately NOT a summery tan look tho. I use it during the winter months because sometimes I feel like my skin gets so pale you could see through it, lol. I use both the face and body lotion and all it really does is bring out your natural pigment to the surface of skin. Hope that helps somebody :0)

  • She sounds like she would work for a news channel. Thank the lord she doesn't have one of those annoying voices. I have come across a few people on here that are doing reviews and they just keep saying the same thing s over and over again.

  • @futurewife06 She is a news caster LOL. She does the am news in her town.

  • I recently purchased the Faux Tan from QVC (after seeing this video) The tan looks GREAT on my arms and legs but my feet and hand look really dark, almost dirty looking. I did apply some lotion to my knees, elbows hands and feet before applying so I'm not really sure why this happened. Also, the brush that came with my bottle is half the size of the one in your video which made the application take a little longer than I would have liked.

  • I have those same earrings! lol.

    And thank you so much for this video. I stopped tanning in a bed and I have been debating which self tanner to get at the store and debating wether or not to get the St tropez self tanner mouse.

  • Awww, I love love loveeee your nail colors. I'm sooo going to try it... Thanks Emily!!!

  • I'm half spanish, so i tan after 15 minutes in the sun...I feel bad for people that need tanners...haha

  • The banns boat didn't do absolutely one thing to my skin! I was pissed:(

  • Have you used the Sun Labs self tanner? If so, how does this compare to the BE Faux Tan?

  • It looks gorgeous on you. I'm gettin' some!

  • Couldn't get to a cosmetic store the night before I left for vaca so I grabbed the Banana Boat you liked and I really think its a great self tanner!! Thanks for the advice!! my boyfriend's mom and i are both switching over to it!

  • Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How do you get self tanner on your back? Specifically the middle of your back? Or should I just not put it on my back at all? It's awkward to have anyone else put it on me...so I don't want to do that. And I heard of those little back paddles with the pad to apply the product, and I have something similar to one of those and it didn't work well. HELP!

  • @CrushOnBeauty123 Sometimes I put a plastic glove on the end of a scrub brush. Like the ones you use to was your back in the shower, and apply it that way as I look in a mirror to prevent missing a spot. The banana boat product she mentioned, I use it. And I LOVE it. I am very white too, and it makes me olive tan. I guess it's easiest if you have a friend apply it to your back. lol Take Care!

  • Awesome review! Love you! xo

  • I also had a question abou the faux tanner, I was looking on QVC and there are two diffrent faux tan one that comes with the brush and the other doesnt the one with the brush is 54$ and the one with out is 22$ is the brush really worth 32$?? also have you tried sun labs and if you havent would u try it and compar the two?? I hear that sun labs is great and smells like cherrys then I hear faux tan is also great but who is better lol =)

  • thanks for introducin me to your fav self tanner I hope to order it soon to try!!

  • I just started using the jergens natural glow in medium to tan a week ago. I am fair skinned and so far it has given me a great gradual tan, but I am concerned about how it is going to look as it wears off during the colder months when i am not using it. Do you think i should switch to the lighter one to be safe? I'm just worried it won't give me the same great results but like I said, I don't want to get too dark and then worry about it looking splotchy and weird and orangey when it wears off.

  • Hey emily!!! can u plz reply wen u get a chance... i was ready to purchase the banana boat tanner i was so excited till i began reading the warnings on the back and it said sumthing like if u dnt use it with a sunscreen it can cause skin cancer or skin aging i decided not to buy it... do u use any sunscreen with it?? do u think it might be risky?? thx!! any1 plz reply <3 <3

  • Guys, can you tell if this is the same look she did a tutorial she did on the best bronze shadows??

  • Hi Emily! Can you use the Banana Boat on your face? I just bought it but I am scared of it clogging my pores! Please let me know when you get a chance! thanks!!

  • Emily I love your videos!! <3 Thank you so much for this one. I live in Canada and it would be nice to look like I have a sun kissed glow even when its snowy out. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

  • Your body has a lovely sunkissed tan, looks lovely!

  • I got the Bare escentuals tanner, OMG, I love it!

  • Haha, Dr. Gross.

  • Thank you so much for this video! It was so helpful and through (as usual). Great job:)

  • Sephora told me that they have had the faux tan for two weeks and they cant keep it on the shelves!

  • Emily!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bare Minerals self tanner! And I got the same deal you found on QVC with that awesome brush. I was on a desperate search since they stopped making my self tanner a year ago and found Faux Tan to work THE BEST! Last the longest too! FYI, when I use my finger to apply, I just use one of those small square disposable Buf-Puf pads and it scrubs my fingers clean!

  • can someone plz answer my question i would rly appreciate it... wat exactly r self-tanners 4??? im guessing they help u get a tan when u go out in the sun, rite?? thx! <3

  • @browndogzr4ever147 they're sunless tanners. So once you put them on and they activate (some take a few hours, some only a few minutes) you have a tan. They're safe, no sun required

  • I just baught the Faux Tan and tried it last night, I am kinda Orange. I read on some of the QVC reviews that you need to shake the bottle really well for about 10 min and then you will never have the orange issue. Did you do that?? I am going to give it one more try. Have you tried the St Tropez tanning cream? That is the one I have used for years and it is GREAT!

  • I have looked everywhere for the bare escentuals faux tan in the uk but no where sells it! Does anyone know where I can purchase this product? x

  • I've been applying the Banana Boat faux tan with a bathing mitt I found at Walmart for $3 near the loofas. Got the idea from St. Tropez self tan - they sell it with a mitt on QVC. Two applications with my mitt, not a streak. Try it ladies!

  • Emily,

    Could you please, please, please, do a tutorial on how you apply the faux tan? Ive got the legs down but when it comes to upper body- arms, chest, neck, and face - I'm lost. Do you do all the way around the arms? What about neck and shoulders? I'm scared to death to do the face but yours is so even and natural looking. I would love to see how you get it so even and natural looking.

  • What is wrong with your voice?...NOTHING! I love your voice because it shows that your intelligent and you know what your talking about. It is reassuring(:

  • Hey Emily, Im assuming you have tried the Bare Escentuals faux tan on your legs and I was wondering if you experienced any of the self-tanner sinking in the pores in your legs where the hair would grow? It seems like almost any self-tanner I use, it sinks in and is very visible, right after shaving and even next day shaven legs!

  • I prefer to watch your video's because of your speech. I hate video's where the person's speech is cluttered with "Ummmm", "You know" and "Like." More power to you.

  • I ABSOLUTLEY LOVE LOVE THE BANANNA BOAT SUMMER COLOR DEEP DARK COLOR!!! IM PRETTY LIGHT COLORED AND AFTER I EXFOLIATED,THEN PUT SME JERGENS LOTION ON AND LET THAT SET IN AND THEN I PUT THE TANNING LOTION ON,WENT ON LIKE A DREAM AND GAVE ME A WONDERFUL LIGHT BROWN COLOR!MY HUBBY EVEN WAS SURPRISED AND MY MOM!!!DEFINITLY SPREADING THE WORD!!!LOVE IT!!!!HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE!GOD BLESS!

  • The thing i love the most is that you always get to the point emily. Ive never ever heard you ramble. and unlike other gurus on yt the WHOLE video is about what your talking about. not half is you talking and i have to sort through random babble to get to what its supposed to be about.

  • Have you tried the Jergens Natural Glow lotion for the body? My sister recommended it to me, because of my fair skin tone, and my dry skin. Do you think it will work as well as the foam?

  • Do you think the faux tan is good for fair skin tones?

  • i love your unest opinion you helped me a lot thank you

  • You are one of my favs because of your voice! People are unbelievable sometimes.... screw 'em!

  • immm so trying that bare essentials fauz tan cause i dont tan i burn and i ahte when i become patchy woot! great video idea totally love it.

  • I am so glad you made this video! I'm going to try out the banana boat tanner. I was just wondering, if i were to buy a BIG kabuki brush... could i use it with that like the faux tan?

  • I'm jumping on the "I love Emily's voice" boat! Out of all the gurus I watch, Emily is my favorite because of her voice, her concise speech, and sheer eloquence!! She's super easy to understand, and her use of her voice as a medium for information transfer is awesome~ Keep up the great work Emily, and as always idiot haters will always find something to hate on >.>

  • @27blysse That's why she makes the best newscaster :))

  • i cant believe people are talking about your voice..your vids are so professional and you speak clearly and precise so we can understand!!! thats why i love your videos. :)

  • I want one but they don't sell them in uk! Only small 160 ml bottles without that fab applicator. ;(

    Love your videos x

  • What do you think about the Lancome flash self-tanner?

  • what if you put on the tanner with plastic gloves?

  • I just want to let you know that I have tried the L'oreal Sublime Spray kind. It comes out in a fine mist. It tries instantly, which I do really like. I also have Faux Tan but I get annoyed with waiting for it to dry. Also Faux Tan comes off on some stuff where the L'oreal doesn't. I haven't had time to wait for it to fade yet so I will have to watch that.

    Do you notice the Faux Tan coming off on anything?

  • when you apply the faux tan on the back of your thighs and legs, and if you sat down soon afterwards, would the product rub off ? does it rub off on your bedding sheets/blankets or clothes ?

  • I personally love that you don't talk like a little whiney immature girl =p theres nothing wrong with the way you speak

  • OMG I thought you had a natural tan at the beginning of the video. You look great. i think I will purchase this product. I hate that orange look that a lot of faux tanners create when you over use them. Thanks for the review.

  • I only tan my legs, i am half indian and i have crazy tan arms but pretty much pale legs.

  • Lol I dont even know why Im watching this video, I dont wanna tan, I actually wanna be whiter xD

  • I love your voice Ms. Noel! Don't mind the other people! You are awesome for real! (The Golden Rose 100% Honesty).

  • How long does the big bottle of Faux Tan from Bare Essentials last?

  • how is the faux tan about getting on your bedding i have had some rub off on my sheets

  • What is the size of the Faux tal? Is it 128 ml?

  • I don't understand...why are people making such a big deal over her speaking voice? Seems pretty legit and normal to me....some people are just dumb lol

    Love your videos

  • the neutrogena face one broke me out sooooooooo bad!!!! do you know any sunless tanners for your face that don't make people break out?

  • EMILY CAN YOU USE THE BANANA BOAT SUMMER COLOR TNNING LOTION ON YOUR FACE ALSO,GOT A WEDDING IN A WEEK TO ATTEND AND I USED IT LAST NIGHT ON MY BODY,LOVE IT BUT WAS WONDERING IF I COULD USE IT ON MY FACE?????

  • @makeuphappy1 i use tanner on my face thats for the body....but i apply face lotion before so i dont have a supper dark face..but thats my preference...you might like it! if not, just scrub you face with a loofa sponge, you'll be fine!

    :D

  • emily - have you tried Toma's from sally's? It supposed to be really good and comparable to high end like St tropez. I bout a bottle but havent used it yet -- its not looking anything like summer here in cali yet, but I will as soon as it warms up! I also picked up from sally's the Hemp Moist gradual tanning lotion. It AMAZING! As someone who has tried a LOT of gradual tanners, nothing has EVER worked this well! I recommend it. day 2 I had noticeable, BELIEVABLE color (I'm pale)

  • is your job a news reporter? you are very well spoken and the way your voice projects just makes it seem like you would be the type of person who talked for a living (in a good way)

  • Ditto! Loreal self tanners suck! this past fall/winter i tried the Sublime Bronze lotion and it's so sticky and it leaves streaks. and it transferred to my pajamas when i would sleep..

  • at least she doesnt go LIKE OMG LIKE LOOK AT THIS THIS IS SO GORGEOUS... well sometimes she does it... but in a professional way heh

  • hi, i was wondering if you have time if you could make a video on what you do when you buy new makeup and the colors dont work for you whether its lipstick, powder, foundation, bronzers or blush from drugstores. also a video on how long you should keep makeup, how to sanitize, and how to tell if it's expired or not. thank you!

  • Embrace the Emily in your voice, doll! :) We love it. And if even a vintage loving, parasol toting, intentionally pale-skinned gal can watch this video to completion...you must be doing something right. ;-)

    xxoo,

    Ashley

  • Emily, you have a GREAT voice... don't let all the haters get to you. Perhaps those who have criticized your voice are not as educated as you are. :) Love your videos!!!

  • Or can anybody else let me know which is better??? Thank you

  • Emily, I would like to know if you prefer faux tan over sun labs self tanner?????? I am very undecided between  the two!!!!!

  • I wish i can talk like you! I stutters so much!

  • I like your voice and the way you speak because you never stutter and you use correct grammar. You speak in a way that makes your tutorials and reviews easy to understand, and you present them in a timely manner; I don't feel like I have to listen to a lot of fluff before you get to the point. I wish more youtubers had your speaking skills. More power to you, Emily!

  • @segrant86 much agreeded probably because she is a reporter/anchor on the news,so u definitly can tell!She is pretty stinkin amazing and soso sweet!

  • I love your voice!

  • i have loreal gel the pump & it works great! but not jergens. And i think your voice is great!

  • The Jergens face one I couldn't ever get color to show on my face either and I used it religeously!

  • You should try xen tan its great!

  • You should try St Tropez...it is AMAZING! It sounds a lot like the Faux Tan (except it's a mousse), but is cheaper and probably a little bit easier to apply :)

  • Have you tried St. Tropez?

  • ugh i agree the l'oreal tanner is soooo bad. it actually scared me away from self tanners, but now i want to try the faux tan! thanks for the review and confidence boost ^^

  • Is it just me or are u using more QVC products lately??

  • I'm from Romania and I understand her perfectly ! She has an amazing voice <3

  • Love your videos Emily!

  • awesome video! thank you! and i love your voice boo to those who dont! lol

  • emily, have you tried loreal's sublime tanner? i love the dark tan it gives me but as it fades it gets really patchy. would you say that the banana boat one is better? thanks!

  • @omeleko Lol did you watch the video? She mentioned that under "Self-tanners I DON'T like" :)

  • @tstlkevanilla i did, i commented before it got to that part :P

  • I love how your cute tank is from dollar general - I need to go out and get me some! And, personally, one of the reasons I initially subscribed to your channel is because I was tired of listening to squeaky gurus. Your content is awesome too and I appreciate that you cover more drugstore level products, but I think that the fact that your voice is professional sounding is a plus for most of us here in youtube land.

  • wow ur TAN is pretty =)

  • YOU HAVE A GORGEOUS TAN!!! Looking good ;)
