Designer Skin SplurgeScent: The scent is 'Sweet Lime Citrus' but doesn't smell like lime citrus to me at all. I personally think it smells more like a men's cologne or Axe. I actually don't mind it though. I like it. ATO: After about 4 hours I can start to smell a little bit of DHA ATO. Texture/Consistency: Typical DS silicone. It made my skin so soft. I love the way it feels. Color: I got some decent color from this and may consider getting a bottle after I've tried some of the other new 2013 lotions. I used a new tanning sticker and got a decent outline that's noticeable.

Just a little update. It's been 2 days later and I can still see the tantoo this lotion gave me in a whole new spot! After a few uses I think this lotion will give amazing color! I didn't like the ATO though.

My review:
I got a bottle before trying it and im happy i did!
Scent: I dont smell any citrus, MAYBE a HINT of lime, but it smells vanillaish to me.
ATO: I can start to smell the DHA after awhile. Not unbearable though.
Texture: Smooth and creamy. Rubbed in good. Usual DS silicone lotion. SOFT.
Color: Decent color boost! Happy I got my bottle.
4.5/5 stars.

Scent: It smells like cologne to me. I wasn't a fan, but it's tolerable. I can smell the DHA after a couple hours.
Texture: It rubbed in really well and it made me feel really soft, like DS lotions normally do. It's a bit more lotion-y in consistency compared to their usual silicone lotions.
Color: I wasn't that impressed. I used a tantoo in my usual spot and one in a new spot. I could see the new one a little bit earlier, but now I can't really see it. I got a better color from Juicy Gossip, which is just an accelerator, and that one also smells better.
I wouldn't buy a bottle of this.

**My review on Jan 10,2013**
*Scent-Smells like lime mixed with powder and perfume lol odd but smells pretty nice imo,I like it.
*Lotion itself is creamy and easy to rub in. The silicone is perfect..not too much or too little. My skin feels nice and soft.
*No in initial ATO but after a few hours the DHA kicks in.
*Color boost is pretty good!! I used a new tantoo and tanned like 5hrs ago and the outline is still clearly visible.
4.5/5 stars...Glad I got a bottle!!

I recently purchased a bottle of this and used it last night while tanning. I love the way it smells (it sort of reminds me of DS Worship Me, but with more vanilla) and it makes my skin feel super soft during & after tanning. The color boost I got from this was awesome! My tantoo looks super crisp now. After a few hours, the DHA smell started to kick in, but it wasn't too bad. The only complaint I have with this is the packaging: I bought this form a super reliable lotion seller and the Splurge logo started to rub off while I was squeezing the bottle to get the lotion out. One of the rhinestones fell off too while I was squeezing the bottle and some of the purple glitter rubbed off on my hands. Not a huge deal, but I think the packaging looks a little tacky. 4 out of 5 stars.

My name on my Splurge bottle rubbed off too. It's one of the prettiest lotion bottles I've had in a while, but the packaging is more juvenile. Haven't had an issue with crystals.
As for the important part for me the lotion. I don't like anything that smells too intense, and this is like a light feminine floral/ powdery perfume with a hint of lime. In fact the scent alone could inspire the name...
For me, the name has to do with the packaging, sophisticated scent, and the tan level It gives you a light color boost, and the lotion shade is nude. It moisturizes as DS does well, but it's not overly moist, which I like. Very creamy lotions pill on me, this doesn't.
Blend evenly so u don't get streaking. If your afraid of being too dark or orange this is a good bottle. It's also a good bottle if you are happy with your color.
So many tanning lotion scents over power my nose for daily use, or are so dark, I feel blotchy or streaky. This is a good bronzer lotion if u r going somewhere after tanning. It's a nice natural glow. Not shimmery.
After i used a packet I bought a bottle.

Used this today in the ergoline passion 40/3 for the full 15 minutes.
Scent- I agree with the axe body spray that others have said. I really like the scent of this one. It's either a love it or hate it with this one.
Lotion- I like the silicone in this one. I don't feel like I'm drowning in silicone when I'm done tanning. The lotion is a light brown color and goes on nice and smooth.
ATO- It's been seven hours after I've tanned and I've only picked up little hints of DHA and I have to smell my shirt to even smell it. So A + on that one designer skin.
Color boost- really nice color from this one. I do like ruby a little bit more but that's probably because of the tingle.
All and all: 5/5- great scent, nice color boost, no ATO, and good moisturization. This ones a winner

I just got done using this about an hour ago. And I did NOT like it at all. First off, the smell is definitely a love or hate. I was expecting something fruity, but instead it smells like a funky slightly sweet cologne. The ATO on this is horrible in my opinion. I smell like straight DHA and it's strong and is giving me a headache. It didn't really do a ton for my color either. I would not recommend this.

I just used a sample pack of this today.
Scent - At first, while applying I was not a fan but after I got out of the bed I actually enjoy the scent, I have to agree that its slightly like a cologne-y scent.
Lotion/Moisture - This spreads and absorbs nicely, easy to rub in and my skin is left super soft.
ATO - I can still smell the "cologne" scent, but I do pick up random hints of DHA. I've got a sensitive nose for DHA though.
Color - Awesome, dark color! I felt like I was stuck at my previous shade but this def kicked it up a notch! I'm impressed. I've got a nice brown color from this! I did not use this on my face, I use clearly obsessed.
Overall: 5/5 I would def recommend giving this lotion a try!

Scent – I bought this lotion without smelling it which I never do but I loved how Ruby and Pumped smelled and I figured with that cute packaging it had to smell amazing too. I was wrong, I really don't like it at all. It has a very musky cologne scent and a tiny hint of lime and kind of powdery. I think if there was more of a lime scent I would like it a little better. I don't have any ATO with this but the scent doesn't fade much so I am stuck smelling a scent I don't like for hours.
Texture – Nice silicone texture, rubs in nicely and doesn't feel greasy...but it is a little thick so it does irritate my skin a little bit but it is still a really good consistency and leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized.
Color – Whenever I force myself to use this I always get really amazing color, which makes me even more disappointed that I don't like the scent because I would probably use this all of the time if I did
Overall - 4/5 I took off a whole point just because I can't get past the scent. I hope one day my sense of smell changes and I like it better, because other than the scent this is an awesome lotion that gives really good results...but as of right now I'm not sure if I will ever finish the bottle. I definitely will not be purchasing any other lotions without smelling it first, because to me the scent can make or break a lotion.

Girl I TOTALLY agree with you on the scent. I don't love Pumped and absolutely HATE this scent. I smelled so bad for hours and it gave me a headache. Ish.
