In middle school I developed the nickname, Wednesday. In case you're not familiar it was the favorite sarcastic Addams Family character. I didn't just get the nickname due to my clever quips and raven dark hair, I developed it from my pale, pale skin. Now of course, all skin colors are beautiful but I dreamed of a dark and tawny tan... In fact in LA once, on set of a TV show, I was actually pulled out of a scene because my ultra pale skin was pulling the camera's attention from the main actors. I believe the phrase was something along the lines of, "Can we get Casper out of the shot please...?"
Living in Los Angeles I looked around and saw all these amazing tanned people and developed an expensive Spray Tanning habit. Spray tanning can be really pricey. Cheaper memberships to booths can run you $80-$100 a month at least, and to have someone spray you is at least 40. I searched and searched for the perfect items to complete this process at home... I found it.
There are two brands of Self Tanner that will get you that golden glow from the comfort of your own home and no sunshine required. I will do a high and low price tanner.
Pros:
This Self Tanner is the best. It will give you streak free color and a nice dark tan for $59.95. You don't have to sleep in it, you can literally put it on, kill two hours and shower it off... it continues to develop for hours after.
Pros:

- Bondi Sands Self Tanning Foam in Ultra Dark
Pros:
- It gets you ultra tan and has a nice green cast guide so that you know the olive color is going to develop nicely
- The price is unbeatable and they run sales a few times a year of 20-30% off
- I get about 7 applications out of a bottle
- Ships to you in 3 days or so
- It can be a tad streaky if you aren't careful, but nothing compared to other brands, still a great formula
- The Coconut scent is nice but sometimes it has a strong fume like scent with it
- Sleeping in it is sticky and it does take 6 hours to develop
