With the Devoted Creations BELIEVE IN PINK 30X Black Bronzer, you'll be tanner now, tanner later and tanner in the days to come! This unique formula contains three types of bronzing complexes, which work together to produce results up to 30 times darker than ordinary tanning lotions. Melactiva starts the formula and helps to increase the concentration of melanin in your skin tissue at the end of your session. Cosmetic bronzers instantly darken your skin, so that you'll emerge from the bed looking tan and confident, and DHA provides continuous coloration for hours to come.
To fight signs of dryness , Each application of Devoted Creations BELIEVE IN PINK 30X Black Bronzer provides the skin with a nourishing blend of natural oils and butters, including almond and apricot oils and shea and cocoa butters. The formula also contains strengthening wheat proteins, rejuvenating caffeine and protective green tea and orange extracts, and together, these ingredients address signs of aging and lost elasticity. A warm vanilla fragrance perfectly completes the lotion.

Scenario...I was going shopping after my tan, so I decided not to bring any of my bottles, I leave mine at home on display (I have a makeup/beauty collection). Heat deactivates indoor lotions. Today in CA its 93 degrees...and I didn't wanna leave my lotion in the car. So I decided to buy a packet at my salon...I've seen so so reviews on the natural bronzer and accelorator...so I wanted to see if the dark bronzer was amazing. I didn't have high hopes after seeing reviews of the rest of the Believe In Pink line. I have never tried an awful Devoted Creations lotion, but I have tried ones I don't plan on buying bottles of. So I figured...lets try it...When getting a packet at my salon for whatever reason, I usually just get ol' faithful Designer Skin Pretty & Wreckless Accelorator and anti tattoo fade lotion packet if there is nothing I am dying to try, but I thought I would change it up, and try anyway.
Review:
OK...So I opened the packet...and it didn't smell like warm vanilla sugar. I thought the scent was Iced Berry and something else sweet. Its not my favorite scent, but not unbearable. This lotion doesn't have Devoted Creations Freshplex feature, but the after scent doesn't linger, greatfully.
I rubbed in this lotion, and it wasn't sticky, or slimy. It wasn't thin, and it wasn't thick. It rubbed in well, dimethicone is a top ingredient. Color of this lotion is a typically black bronzer color (dark brown), so I accepted color from this. I went hiking yesterday, got good natural sun color... so I expected a great color enhancement, hence upping to a black bronzer...I didn't wear outdoor lotion yesterday...so I didn't have an accelorator or bronzer look. No fear of orange, and I could see this do its job.
My recommendation for this lotion is to rub it in smoothly, and evenly as possible. Or keep a towel or wet wipe near in case its not even...black bronzers or usually simple to wipe off access in the beginning.
Its 93 degrees here, so I heated up fast....but this lotion didn't add to the sweat, or cause it. I don't think most will bake in this lotion as it has no tingle.
I used an HP bed, but already had base tone. To avoid orange if you don't have a base tone, I suggest using an accelorator first, and a base bed. I don't recommend this in a stand up, I could see a tan turn orange as this is so dark...
This lotion gave me a great color boost.
I didn't smell any ATO.
I feel reasonably moist, not sticky, no extreme silicone soft feel. If you are sensitive to that feel, and its like you can't rest in your own sheets, I think you'll like this one a lot!!
I would get a bottle of this and consider it when getting a black bronzer, if I do, I have just been into accelorators lately, but I have been getting into natural tanning too, so I see good things with this! I love Devoted Creations. I just would change the smell of this lotion, but its not that gross, it wouldn't be a reason not to get it, as stated the smell doesn't last, and no ATO.
Don't expect instant gratification, but you won't be sorry. Remember half this lotion is accelorator based.
4.5 stars out of 5...a noteworthy black bronzer with a good natural very dark look to it.
