Emerald Bay: Definitely Black

 Heyaa Bunnies! 

I am kinda done with the selftanners and am going over to describing other products.
This one is what I count to the "hisalo" category. This is a product you apply prior to tanning on the sunbed. I have no experience wether you are able to use hisalo-products on the beach as well.

(Even tho some products claim they do)

I got three different products from emerald bay and one of it is for the tanning salon.
I heard about this product the first time from Akipoyo gyarusa.
I used it a couple times but didn't quite pay attention to how much it's working but this time I did.
I went to the same machine, same program but one time without any product and one time with Emerald Bay: Definitely Black. 

By the way if you didn't know: I use products at least 2-3 times and another time right before writing reviews to give off a review as honest as possible.

Last notice about this product: When I started with this product (a couple months ago) I got a heavy allergic reaction. Now I can use this product without any skin reaction at all. I am not sure if it really was any of the products by emerald bay or if I maybe just used too many products that time, idk... (I think no.2 is more likely)
So if you have sensitive skin, be careful it might be this product that caused it.
But as I said, now I use it without any problems at all...

Price: 14,90€

Texture:  

I absolutely LOVE thin lotions an this one is a thin one. It did take some time until it sucks up to the skin. I recommend applying lotion before heading to the studio.

Smell:  

The smell has a fruity touch. It contains Agave Nectar. After tanning I felt like it stinks a little bit because it mixed with my sweat odor. The smell is not too heavy. 

Packaging:  

Applying products easily is one of my main points.. I did not have any problems with application, however I guess as soon as I hit the bottom it might get difficult to get the last bits...

Effectiveness: 

I got darker. I think it works amazing, it wasn't something breathtaking but it definitely works and should be considered if you want to achieve a darker tan faster...

Stickiness:  

As I said it takes some time until it sucks up to the skin, even though my car ride takes about 20 min. to the hisalo, I had a wet feeling on my skin the whole ride and it was a little bit uncomfortable.

However, as soon as it did suck up it feels great. The skin is moisturised but not sticky.

I like it but it's not something breathtaking. It's great as a lotion but the results are just medium-satisfying. I wouldn't say I wouldn't want to buy it but I also think other products may have better results. If you come across this product and want to give it a try, do it. They have a new packaging rn and maybe the formula is also better.
