**My review from 06-08-13**
Ease of application was average. Consistency again, average. Not too thin or thick.
This is the Smile! You're Darker! lotion from DS. They've also got a Smile! You're Dark! version, which is supposed to have less bronzer in it. Given that, I figured going for the "Darker!" version would give better results but I found it a little below average. Didn't really get me very dark but it was noticeable, anyway. That being said, no orange or streaking.
Scent, since "sweet dream" in their description is pretty vague, I'd describe as a really mild typical bottled female perfume scent. I really don't know how to describe it - but it's pleasant and very light.
I didn't see an after-sheen effect going on after I had used it, or any greasiness. The description says it gives you a glow/sheen but i couldn't see it. Could not detect any DHA odor post-tan unless I held my arm right up against my nose.
I'd give it maybe a 3/5. It did it's job without any nasty after-effects, but I didn't feel the bronzer was powerful enough for me. Don't plan to buy it again in the future.
