Brand: Designer Skin Lotion: Black Noir Rating: 4 out of 5 Debut Year: 2012 Type: DHA Bronzer Bottle Size: 13.5 oz. Price: $45-55 Ingredients: N/A Scent: It’s a very “natural” orange scent—not orange candy, but a peeled orange. There’s a slight ATO, but not too bad. Lotion: It’s a nice consistency and thickness. It glides easily onto the skin. Color: I’m always breakin’ out the Hatorade on Designer Skin, but I really do feel like their lotions rarely live up to their price tags. 2012 is a bit different as I have liked several of the 2012 lotions I’ve tried. This one isn’t my favorite for 2012, but it’s not bad either. Would I buy a full bottle? Not even with the online price tag, let alone the crazy salon price tag. It did give me a bit of color, but not anymore than many other (much cheaper) bronzers I’ve tried. I think my skin just hates DS. Special: N/A, unless you count all of the ExclusiveAwesomeUniqueSpecialSnowflakeDermaBronzers or wtfever this lotion claims to have.

Scent: It was citrusy. It was okay, but not my favorite scent.
Texture: It has the nice DS silicone that makes skin feel really soft. It's very easy to rub in.
Color: I had high expectations for this because I had heard so much hype, but I didn't think it was anything amazing.
It was a pretty nice lotion, but I would recommend trying a packet first because the bottle is pretty pricey.

By Princesa (12/19/2011 7:54:12 am): Love this lotion!!!! here's my lil revew...
*Scent-Smells yummy!! I pick up a lot of coconut and orange citrus...it smells so good!
*Zero ATO
*This has the perfect amount of silicone in it and moisturization was great too. My skin felt soft,silky and moisturized.
*Result wise this one gave me a nice color boost...not the darkest but good enough to where I can't complain.
If I compare this to Black...imo Black Noir blows Black away lol Black's scent got to me after a while and made me not want to use it and I did get good results from Black but Black Noir is soooooooooo much better in every way. I can still see ppl not liking the scent of Black Noir tho...with that said try a sample and see how you like it.
4/5 stars

Used my bottle of this yesterday. In the bottle IMO smells kind of funky but I heard great things so I sucked it up and bought a bottle.
Scent- like I said in the bottle it's a little funky but putting it on it smelt actually really good. It has the same scent if black but with a tropical scent mixed in there too.
Lotion- Typical DS silicone. It goes in nice and smooth and is really moisturizing.
ATO- slept overnight with this one and NOT ONCE did I pick up any DHA smell. The orginal scent faded pretty gradually too.
Color boost- got good color from this one but nothing mind blowing. It's good if your past your base tan and you need that extra color.
All and all: 5/5

I've just bought my second bottle of this stuff, it's one of my alltime favorites!
Scent: Smells like a tanning salon. To be more descriptive, it smells like citrusy mixed with coconut. It's awesome!
Consistency and texture: This lotion is like a tan color and perfectly creamy and siliconey.
Moisture: My skin always feels super soft and moisturized after this and never too sticky and it's not too heavy on the silicone.
Color Payoff: This is my go-to bronzer lotion, I always get nice and brown with this one! Never orange... Unless I use a bronzer like three sessions in a row.
ATO: This one gives me some ATO, but it's not too bad until like 8 hours after, and the next day, I smell like straight up DHA. But it's not disgustingly terrible because it has a citrus smell mixed with it.
Overall: 5/5 stars! I will always have a bottle in my rotation!
