Fake Bake Flawless Self Tanning Liquid | Sunless Tanner | 6fl oz

This is great stuff!! IF You READ and FOLLOW the directions it will not streak and will last a good week. Before applying, make sure to shower and exfoliate at NIGHT, preferably right before bedtime. (If you do this in the morning or daytime it does not have time to set properly!!) If you shave your legs beforehand make sure to rinse, your whole body and especially your shaved legs, with COLD water at the end of your shower. This will close your pores and you won't get brown discoloration spots at your shaving sites. Apply it with the mitt right after your shower and it will apply much smoother as your skin is softer and more supple. Just like applying body lotion after you shower, it soaks in easier. It's quick drying so you don't have to wait but a few minutes before putting on your pjs. I do my legs last and find that my top half is dry by the time I finish with my legs. I throw on my top and wait a few minutes to put on my shorts or bottoms. That's it! It doesn't stain my sheets and there is only a little discoloration on the back neck of my top in the morning. Also, I do NOT shower the next morning but wait until that evening or even the following morning. This will really help set the application and make the color last. People's reviews that complain it sucks aren't following the directions. I cannot stress enough to READ and FOLLOW the directions! If you apply this in the morning or during the daytime it will come off and streak as you wash your hands or splash water on any treated areas of your skin! Also, don't use your body scrubby between applications, use shower gel or soap only. This may sound like it's a pain to use, it's really not. It really works, looks natural and lasts IF you READ and FOLLOW the directions! I will be using this all summer long! Highly recommended!!

When reviewing a self-tan product, I believe it's extremely important to introduce certain characteristics of the author in order for readers to determine whether the product should apply to them. Before I begin, I am 21 years old and extremely fair. As a child, I was decidedly ginger/strawberry blonde, so my skin WILL NOT tan - not then, not now. I've tried a lot of sunless tanners throughout my middle school/high school/collegiate struggle to be tan (or at least a normal, non-ghost shade). This ranges from L'Oreals Sublime Bronze lotions/sprays, to Model Co. products, to Xen Tan, and lots of other brands. As of now, this Fake Bake Flawless is my favorite self-tan product I've ever used. I'd argue that, when used properly, this is the best sunless tanner. The color guard in combination with the mitt makes sure I get every single square inch of my body, no streaks. It dried in minutes, and I was able to dress quickly. The liquid develops into a wonderful brown (not orange!) color, and it was even and believable. HOWEVER... it must be used properly :) There are a few reviews on here that have complaints about this product that I'm going to address here (mostly noting why they're silly complaints). The first major complaint is "bottle leakage" - the spray bottle that comes with the product is too long for the bottle. The natural solution I came up with was cutting down the straw to make it short enough to fit in the bottle and prevent leaks. CUT THE STRAW before you use and your Fake Bake won't leak! The second major complaint is about the application mitt. Some people say it leaves fuzzy stuff on them, some people say it should have velour on both sides, and some people think it won't last until the tanning product runs out. All of these are wrong. If you've shaved and don't press too hard, your mitt should NOT be leaving fuzzes on you. You're supposed to lightly buff the product on. If the mitt had velour on both sides, there would be risk for rubbing extra tanning solution in random places, most notably on your body where it can leave a streak. One of my biggest tips in using this product is WASH the mitt of all leftover tanning solution after each use. This will keep it in MUCH better shape. To get the brown, amazing results that most reviewers gush about for this product... it's not hard. Here are some steps to follow. Step 1: Shave and exfoliate with a Baiden mitten or a similar Turkish bath mitt. If you don't know what it is, promptly go purchase it and use it and be amazed. UPDATE 4/28/2014: Dry brushing thoroughly prior to entering the shower is also adequate exfoliation. Step 2: Take some scissors and snip off a bit more than an inch of the spray bottle attachment that came with the product, and put the modified attachment onto the bottle. This WILL prevent all leaking. Step 3: Rub body cream (I use Bliss Lemon & Sage body butter, the BEST cream EVER) into your elbows, knees, ankles, and knuckles. Let it dry. Step 4: Apply sunless solution as per the directions, using the gloves and the mitt, spraying on the mitt and then LIGHTLY buffing the color all over (it's probably best to put a tiny dab of body lotion on your knees and elbows and ankles). Step 5: This is my personal step that really helps me as an extremely pale person get a beautiful, even, brown tan. Everyone hates the tell-tale splotching on hands/feet that give away the fact that you're wearing a store bought tan. I highly recommend that every pale someone purchase a product called Xen Tan Blending Balm. Once you're done applying the tanner all over, including hands and feet, take your blending balm and go over your elbows, ankles, knuckles, sides of feet/hands, and wrists. I usually don't need Blending Balm on my knees when I use body butter. This will prevent the tan from developing into too-dark territory. UPDATE 7/25/2014: Xen Tan Blending Balm is almost impossible to find these days, but its first ingredient is petrolatum. Use some Vaseline instead if you can't find the Blending Balm. I also recommend using Smith's rosebud salve or any Badger balm. OVERALL... The Fake Bake Flawless system is fantastic. It's well-priced and delivers beautiful results (even for gingers), and beats the inconvenience associated with going to the spray tan place. When the correct measures are taken, it looks great for a long time. If you're looking for a deep, dark tropical tan, you'll need to apply it a few nights in a row. My advice is BUY THIS NOW. And then order some Xen Tan Blending Balm and a Baiden mitten (both very important!) OR as per update 7/25/2014 you can also use a dry brush pre-shower instead of a bath mitt and Vaseline/Smith's rosebud salve/Badger balm instead of blending balm. UPDATE: September 27, 2012 After finishing a whole bottle of Fake Bake, I'm happy to report that the velour mitten is still in tact. I'm adding this edit to emphasize how important it is to wash your mitten between uses. Washing the mitten also prevents leftover solution from becoming reactivated and leaving darker splotches in random places during application. Seriously yall, WASH YOUR MITTEN. UPDATE: December 13, 2013 Something I never mentioned in this review which I should have... The color guard is GREAT. It's gorgeous and brown. But... It will streak when it rains, and wash off in the shower, and rub off on your sheets. Which, to me, is whatever. It's fine. But it's just good to know and plan around! For instance... I opted to use Jergens the night before Carolina Cup a couple years back because I knew it would be rainy and I didn't want everyone and their momma noting how streaky my tan seemed to get in the drizzle. Anyways, just wanted to give this little update. Happy tanning :) UPDATE: April 28, 2014 Years later, I'm still obsessed with this tanning product :) However, like many people in the comments note, the product doesn't last as long as other sunless tanners without maintenence. Personally, I've found that this is a wonderful option when you need a light tan the day before a big event, such as a wedding or a horse race or a tailgate, and you don't have much time to devote to getting it perfect and you don't want to smell like you've been tanning. Fake Bake Flawless is also an ideal option for people who have never applied their own sunless tanner before, as it is basically idiot-proof. UPDATE: July 25, 2014 A whole 3 years later, after 2 Fake Bake Flawless kits, I still have both velour mitts. I always use them when I tan. I don't always use the Flawless system anymore, as it doesn't develop dark enough to my liking. My top two tanning products are Tanwise mousse via Sally Beauty and St. Moriz self tanning spray in dark, which you can find at Ulta. Both always applied with gloves and mitt, after exfoliation, with the Xen Tan blending balm. Keep in mind that these are MY favorites, but I've been self tanning for more than a decade. If you've never had success with a self tan product, buy the Fake Bake Flawless. Because of so many comments about how this product doesn't last, I'm going to recommend another option that I really love. For those of you who want a longer lasting tan, with a more difficult application, I recommend Tanwise Lotion or Mousse. The lotion stays on FOREVER. Tanwise is not a product for the faint of heart - it goes on VERY dark and stains your skin in streaks unless you blend QUICKLY. The other issue with the Tanwise is the bronzers WILL stain your hands, and the only way to get it off is with baking soda. I went to Charleston recently and applied this the morning of a very long day of bar crawling, and my arms were still tan at work a whole week later. You can find Tanwise products here on Amazon or at a Sally Beauty supply near you - but remember, they are NOT easy to apply correctly. The Fake Bake Flawless is still my absolute favorite product for a quick, easy, pretty, coconut-scented tan. I like to apply the Tanwise mousse with the gloves and mitt from my Fake Bake kit and it always works perfectly.

Let's face it, we all feel better and look better with a little color to our skin! I think I've tried every sunless tanner on the shelves through the years. I'm a firm believer in skin protection while still having a nice sunkissed glow so I'm not one to use tanning beds or go out into the sun without sunscreen on. I also have a few tattoos that I care to keep looking nice, especially because I've invested so much money into them. I've bought everything from cheap lotion to expensive gels and even used aerosol spray tanners and gotten Mystic Tans. I was looking for an alternative to the sticky feeling of a lotion/gel and something that *hopefully* wouldn't have that stinky sunless tanner smell that instantly screams "I USE SUNLESS TANNER" to everyone standing within a "sniffing" distance from you. I read numerous reviews for different products and decided that Fake Bake Flawless was worth trying. I read reviews that said the bottle leaked when using the spray pump and it was suggested to cut the pump tube down a little bit so it fits into the bottle. I did this as soon as I received the product and the bottle didn't leak at all during my first application last night. After exfoliating in the shower really well (use a shower gel that has beads or granules in it to help remove dead skin) and shaving, I got out of the shower and dried off. I then put a light coat of lotion on my knees, ankles, tops and sides of both feet, wrists (inner and outer), elbows (inner and outer) and around my armpits. I've had problems in the past with sunless tanner streaking or looking muddy in those areas. After the lotion soaked in I put on the latex gloves that come with the kit, then put on the microfiber mit. The directions say to spray the mitt with the sunless tanner and then apply but I found that the mit absorbs a lot of it before it reaches your skin, so it's easiest to spray it directly onto your skin instead and then rub it in from there. BE SURE TO LAY A TOWEL DOWN WHERE YOU WILL BE DOING THE SUNLESS TANNING. No matter how close to your skin you get with the bottle, some mist will get onto the floor or rug and if you don't wipe it up quick enough, it might leave a slight stain. I did this in my bathroom and just put an old bath towel down on the floor. I started with my legs and sprayed a few sprays up and down the front, back, and sides of my legs. With the microfiber mit I worked the liquid into my skin by using a circular motion and sparingly spreading it down over to the tops and sides of my feet. I used a patting/dabbing technique to apply a small amount of liquid to my hands and feet and it seemed to work great. I then did my torso, rear end, back, chest, and then finished with my shoulders/shoulder blades, neck (blending it up to under my chin), and arms (front and back). I chose not to use it on my face since I have a lotion-based sunless tanner designed specifically for faces that I use. The mit is very soft and easy to use, but beware--I had some fuzzies come off and get onto my skin. I think this is just because it's the first time I used it. As a side note: make sure to wash your mit out with warm water and soap after you use it. I threw mine in the dryer on high heat for about 10 minutes and it came out clean and fuzz-free. The liquid rubs on smoothly and due to its chocolate color, you can tell exactly where you've already applied it. It has a great coconut smell and dries quickly so you're not standing around waiting for it to soak in and feeling sticky. I put my pajamas on shortly after applying Fake Bake and my skin felt soft and had instant color. I went to bed and slept comfortably throughout the night and in the morning there were no stains on my sheets. My skin looks fabulous and I have a Bahamas-esque tan that isn't orange or fake looking in the least! No streaking, blotching, or uneven areas to be found. The best part? NO SUNLESS TANNER SMELL! It never once smelled like the typical sunless tanners (I liken it to rotten fruit), instead the pleasant coconut smell went away throughout the night and I was left with a great tan and no smell whatsoever. I highly recommend this product. It's easy to use (only took me about 8 minutes total to apply) and the results are like nothing I've ever gotten before from other sunless tanners. If you're hesitant about trying a non-lotion tanner like I was, this is well worth the chance. I couldn't be happier and plan on using it much more in the future, especially as the weather gets warmer :)

Okay, so I literally got it about 40 minutes ago. I followed the directions (exfoliated and whatnot) and started to apply. This was my first time ever using any sort of tanning (I've never gone to tanning place to get a natural or a fake tan nor have I ever used an at home tanner). Anyways, right away you can see the color change. I was expecting to look a bit orange, but not even a single hint of orange appeared. It went on simply and quickly (taking me about ten minutes to apply it feet to head). It dried really fast and instantly looks great. I am a bigger girl so I embarrassingly have, for lack of a better word, crevices, where I had a bit of trouble applying, but ultimately was able to deal with. The big con to the product for me was the mitt. Perhaps it was just mine, but it left brown fuzzes on my body occasional. It was no big deal because taking some toilet paper and gently wiping my skin seemed to get them off without affecting the color. Still, it was pretty annoying. Anyways, for me (as I am super pale) the first application gave me a very nice sunkissed look. But, I think I want a bit darker (especially on my legs which were naturally lighter than my arms so they still appear lighter), so I intend to follow the directions and apply it two nights in a row to see if I can get the color just how I like it. Another plus is it smells great. I am not usually a fan of the coconut smell, but this is so soft and subtle that it is actually quite nice. I probably would have given it a five out of five if it had not been for my mitt. Great product and I highly recommend it for first time tanners like myself since it was so easy. I also suggest having someone there to do your back because right now I have a big gap of space where I could not reach. Luckily no one ever sees that area anyways, but for people who wear backless shirts or bikinis or other clothing that shows the back it would be something that they would worry about. So summary; PROS: Quick, simple, nice smell, looks good, no orange CONS: Faulty mitt, hard to apply on back

Just came back for a second bottle. I’ve been ‘sunless tanning’ for more than 20 years and have tried everything from drugstore to high end- gel, mousse, spray, towels, lotion etc. I’m not sure why I’ve never gotten around to trying Fake Bake but I’m really glad that I did. I have very far skin. My legs look like tortillas (no joke)- pasty white with brown spots and freckles. It would be hard to pick my favorite feature of this FB - goes on smooth, easy to blend and dries super fast. Like, within minutes. And I’m not talking about ‘dry but a little sticky or dampish’. It’s jist dry!! Skin feels soft. Remember tho, if you tan haphazardly, you’re going to get a haphazard tan. Take your time. It takes me less than 10 min to do my arms, legs, face, neck. The formula has a pinkish tint as it dries, which for me is a plus... my skin looks the way it would if I had spent all day out in the sun and got a touch too much sun. Perfect for me! I’ve never had an issue with it coming off on clothes, sheets etc. Sometimes it leaves a faint pinkish tint on washcloths but comes right out in the laundry. I apply in the evening (hour or 2 before bed) and when I wake up this next morning, I simply rinse off the color guide or use a wet washcloth or hand towel to wipe off the guide, especially if I’m wearing light clothing that day. I highly recommend doing this because if you get caught in the rain, the color guide will run off (not pretty) and you’ll be kicking yourself for not wiping off the color guide before you left that morning. (Trust me on this one 😩). I normally shower in the evening but if you shower in the am, then you should be fine to apply at night and shower off next morning. I haven’t had to do any kind of exfoliating or moisturizing before applying. That said, when I shower I use a very soft wash cloth (baby wash cloth) and moisturizing body wash- no harsh scrubbing. My tan turns out the same each time. I will say that I have to apply pretty much every evening (5 or 6 nights a week) but the results are worth it for me. Note: PLEASE follow the enclosed instructions and use the black gloves AND the mitt. Otherwise you’ll have a real mess on your hands. I’m not crazy about the mitt that it comes with; I prefer one with a thumb- it makes it so much easier to apply. I wish Fake Bake would take more of that. But you can buy mitts with a thumb here on Amazon. AS FOR THE SMELL- it has a very very faint coconut scent, which fades over the following hours. I have not noticed that weird smell that most tanners have hours after application. I am overall pleased, the price is reasonable, and the results are very good. One bottle lasts me almost 8 weeks (again, I just do arms, legs, face, neck). Very realistic color for someone with skin as fair as mine. 👍🏻

I have been an avid tanner for years. I have tried every UV bed, spray tan, and tanning lotion on the market. I have olive skin when I'm tan, so I try to go for the natural brown and not orange look. UV beds were addictive until at age 26 I had to have a tumor removed from my skin. Seriously, if you use conventional UV tanning, I guarantee you'll care when you get tumors/cancer and your skin will seriously age by 30. I now have a scar on my chest, less than cute! Spare yourself the scarring if all you care about is looks. I had a membership for sunless tanning that seemed to be the only way to get a regular tan somewhat conveniently. At home tanners never got me as dark and were all streaky when applied. THIS TANNING SPRAY AND MIT SET IS AMAZING!! This stuff is sooo easy to use and gives me an instant dark tan with the bronzer, and develops to a very natural colored dark tan over a few hours, so that by the time you shower and rinse off the bronzer, you are tan underneath. This DOES NOT rub off on clothes and goes on so easily. I spray the mit about four or five times and rub it onto my skin. The fantastic thing about this spray is that you can add more or continue to blend it into skin and it doesn't get all dry and streaky like other sunless tanners. I've never had to leave streaks due to too many layers of tanner or too many attempts to blend it. The combination of the gloves and mit completely prevents my hands from staining. The mit makes application incredibly fast and smooth, streak free. This stuff dries amazingly fast (you can still add more to the dry parts to add more color or even out a streak) and doesn't get on clothes. Where I used to have to carefully apply lotion, wash my hands a million times, and stand around naked waiting to dry, now I quickly apply this and immediately go get dressed. My skin always looks tan now. It takes only about five minutes to apply over the whole body. There is literally no inconvenient aspect to this spray. It is as easy as drying your skin off with a towel, only you're applying tan. It lasts for about three days and then when it starts to fade it does so evenly and without patchy spots. You can even add contouring to your body (think extra cleavage and instant abs). I am so excited to find this product. I am canceling my spray tan membership, which will save my hundreds a year, I don't have to worry about skin damage AND I can easily look great every day. Amazing. Update: This is still my favorite tanner months after my original purchase, and after trying several others including mousses and sprays. I just ordered my second Fake Bake kit. My mitt wore out around the time that I ran out of tanner. It was still usable, but had little pills on it that caused streaking. I had also been using it with other tanning products, so if I had used it alone, it would have out-lasted the Fake Bake spray. So you get a new mitt every time you buy this product and the mitt lasts through the use of the entire 6 ounces. I washed it after every tan application with warm water and whatever hand soap I had on hand. I then let it air dry. I did cut the plastic pump bottle tube so that it was not longer than the bottle is tall. I will do that again with my new one. This product smells so good that I actually get complimented on what scent I'm wearing, as if I'm wearing perfume. It's a tropical coconut smell. The reason this is hands down my favorite tanner, even though I've found one that is darker (St. Moriz Dark Mousse), is that it is so easy to apply and dries so fast that as soon as I set down the bottle and wash the mitt, I can go get dressed. It always looks really even, not splotchy, even when I'm being lazy and apply it without much attention. Even my most hard-core tanning friends don't like tanning every day because their products are a hassle and they have to wait an hour to put on clothes. You could easily use this every day. Takes me 10 minutes tops and always looks better than being pale!

When I purchased this product, I thought that I had researched it fairly well; I'm an experienced self-tanner, who's used most, if not all, of the drug store options available, and I got tired of dealing with the nasty smell and orange tint to my fair skin. I am also a former lifeguard, plus I was a tanning bed addict for years, but I've quit since being diagnosed with melanoma ten years ago (yep, that's the bad one, kids! And I was only 30. Keep using the fake stuff!). What I found after trying Fake Bake is that I'm still a bit ambivalent and just a little confused. I had never used a tanner with a guide before; at least, not dark like this! I knew what to expect, of course. But what I expected isn't what happened. What happened was that my skin turned an unsightly camo-green! I Googled frantically. I found that this was normal, and I gave the bottle a really good shaking, tried again, and ahhh...Beautiful, bronze color! So, my color looked great, and I was pleased to find that I didn't seem to notice any "masking" scents, plus it wasn't too sticky, and it dried quickly. I was able to dress right after applying, where usually, I sit around in a tank top and shorts for half an hour, waiting for the stuff to dry. I left the bathroom feeling like a million bucks! Then, I took a shower the next morning. Wha, wha, wha! It. All. Washed. Off. I'm not talking just the guide, here. I'm talking all of it except a trace. It had been at least twelve hours. And I didn't even scrub. Back to Google. I got mixed results this time, even from the questions on this product review page. Some people claim that just the guide washes off and you're left with a beautiful tan for five days. Others say it washes off right away, and you have to keep re-applying. I find that I am in this latter category. It's kind of annoying. Okay, it's really annoying! It is buildable, but the surface layer begins to get patchy within a couple of days for me. If I don't scrub the ever-loving crap out of my skin when tanner starts to get patchy, it looks like you could cut it up and hang it for a birthday party (sorry, that was gross, lol). Final verdict: still out, so I'm giving three stars, but I may change it later if I can learn to tweak this stuff a bit more. For now, I love the color it gives me and the fact that there is NO GROSS SMELL, so I'll keep using it unless the upkeep just becomes too much of a hassle. I guess I'll just have to make disposable dishwashing gloves my new statement piece! Pros: - Beautiful Brown Tan - NO bad smell! - Easy application with guide color - Comes with mitt - Dries quickly - Minimal stickiness - Buildable - Fair Price Cons: - Washes off a lot! - Even after first shower you will streak if you get wet! - High Maintenance - Could get expensive due to high maintenance. - May turn you green until you shower the first time. - May need to stay away from pools, lakes, bodies of water in general. - Avoid water! - No feeding after midnight!

I had an embarrassing experience with Neutrogena Micro-Mist Sunless Tanning Spray Medium - 5.3 oz in which I had drip marks down my calves that I didn't realize til the next day, resulting in my legs looking like a tanned zebra, and the area where the dripped tanning product pooled--in the arches of my feet and around my heels--made my feet look like I've neither worn shoes nor washed my feet for the past 12 years. VERY embarrassing...my husband had a very good laugh at my expense. I was about to conclude that fake tans need to be applied by professionals...but in reading around on Amazon, I read the great reviews here for Fake Bake, and decided since it was not a spray-on product, I'd give it one more try. I'm glad I did. The color is rich, and seems to last long. It's not spray-on, so there are no drips and less potential mess. The bronzer really does help you to see where you are putting it on, and how much. And the thing that I've hated most about sunless tanners--the smell--is virtually non-existent with this product. Only sign of any sunless tanner smell is when you first wash in the shower after applying...and even then, the smell is very mild. My first application resulted in some slight streaking on the thighs, but that was more due to uneven application. If you are sure to cover all skin area when applying (don't be afraid to repeat over an area) you'll have great results. I did follow all instructions on the bottle, as well as those provided in that first large, helpful review here on Amazon for Fake Bake. I'm grateful for that review, as it was very detailed and helpful to me, as it obviously was to countless others. I used the XenTan Blending Balm, and found it to be necessary for the areas where you don't want accumulation (such as knees and ankles)--it worked great. I did order the Baiden mitten recommended in that review also, but sent it back upon receiving it. When I saw the material of the Baiden mitten, I knew that the Korean Italy cloths that I had grown up with would do the trick every bit as well, but for a fraction of the cost (you can buy them in any Korean market, or buy one on eBay for $1.15 + free shipping, versus paying $50 for the Baiden mitten). Koreans have been using these cloths for years to exfoliate. My Korean mom used to call it "shining" her skin, and she swore it was the reason her skin was so soft. So I recommend following that first review to a tee, except replacing the Baiden mitten with a Korean Italy pocket cloth. You can find them here on Amazon, or for even cheaper on eBay. Some exfoliating tips, and tips for using the cloth: - When exfoliating, be sure to soak in a tub of hot water for at least 1/2 hr (until your fingers and toes are pruned) before exfoliating, or your skin might not slough off as much as you'd like. This is true whether you are using a Baiden mitt or a Korean Italy pocket. - Make sure that there are no bath salts, lotions, creams, or anything else but plain water that you soak in, or the dead skin will not peel off properly. Make the water as hot as you can tolerate comfortably. - The Korean Italy cloths can be found in a variety of different configurations, including a mitt, but the one I recommend also happens to be the cheapest and most ubiquitous, which is a pocket. To use it, you should fold a wet but wrung out wash cloth INTO the pocket, and then roll the cloth and hold it like a baseball or rock in the palm of your hand. Dragging the rolled cloth across your skin, scrub your skin in long strokes. Just like with the Baiden mitten, you should be able to roll strings of dead skin off of your skin surface as you do this. - The Korean Italy cloths are available in varying levels of coarseness, and the color of the cloth typically denotes the level of coarseness: Blue is the most coarse, green is medium, pink is mild coarseness. Occasionally you'll find a red one, which is medium coarseness, and if you find any other colors, the packaging should indicate how course it is. There are a few two-sided colors as well: Yellow comes with one side in mild coarseness, the other is medium. If you can find a plaid one, that comes with heavy coarseness on one side, and medium on the other. So if you buy a yellow and a plaid, you've got every grade of coarseness in two cloths, for about $2.30. - The cheapest Korean Italy cloths I've found were on eBay, for about just over $1, and that's where I ordered from, as it was cheapest. However, every one of my shipments from eBay (I ordered several different coarsenesses, from different vendors)took a couple of weeks to ship. As it turns out, they all came straight from Korea. If you are impatient to get them for the sake of getting started asap with your tan, consider ordering here on Amazon, where you can find quicker shipping times, including a few that qualify for Amazon Prime shipping. Hope this helps. Overall, the Fake Bake product is AWESOME. It gave me a beautiful, deep, rich tan that so far has lasted better than a week. I'm very pleased...RECOMMENDED!!!!
