GlowFusion Micro-Nutrient Face & Body Natural Protein Tan.. Is a Really Long Name, but How Much Does it Say About the Tan?

Glow Fusion is one of the many products made by Fusion Beauty, but the name is just enough to get you running away scared! And you should be because this self tanner is deadly!

Now when I say deadly, I don't mean literally or chemically harmful (although I'm not sure if it could cause negative long term affects). When I say deadly I mean.. be careful of how much you spray or you'll be superbly orange!

For me this product carries an equal amount of positive and negative results. The plus to this product is that it works! Spray it on and just in a couple short hours you will see results! And when you spray just the right amount of this product you will get that perfect glow.

There has been many times where I have been complimented on my skin color because of this product. Especially if you have olive skin, this will match with your skin color perfectly, just don't over spray. As for those who have pale skin, I wouldn't recommend this product since it's so potent the results may be too dramatic and overwhelming. However if you do use those product, I suggest using very SMALL amounts to start off AND I would make a day of it just to test it out. So don't make plans to go out if you're planning to test out this product, I suggest you stay in and see the results. TRUST ME! I had to learn it the hard way for a DATE! AHHH! It was embarrassing when one of his friends told me I looked way too dark (and not in a nice way). Lucky for me though, that didn't stop my current boyfriend from dating me. WOOHOO!

Personally, I don't think I can get a better bronze from any other product than GlowFusion. With just the right amount of spray, I constantly get compliments on my tan and I really do love the way I look. And the best part is, since the product is so potent you don't have to spray much which makes the product last! It took me a whole year and a half to use up Glow Fusion.

And now onto the negative aspect of this product. Now I wasn't kidding when I said this product could be deadly in terms of making you orange. On my first excursion with this product I pretty much looked like this girl on the right (that not really me, but skin color is right on target). And since it was my first time every using the product I didn't have glows on, so my hands were ten shades darker than my face. It was bad! So here is another advice WEAR GLOVES!! You can try to wash your hands right after spraying the product, but like I said it's so potent that it sticks right onto your skin, so washing your hands even right after you have sprayed doesn't help, not one bit.

Another problem, it is very time consuming to spray on the product and spread it evenly on your body. Which takes me to another problem, if you don't take the time to really spread the product evenly, it will show! There has been a time where I rushed and I had five different shades on my skin at once, another embarrassing moment.

To add on, this product is very expensive... it rings out at $60! This does not include tax! Hopefully the free samples at Sephora can make up for the cost. Also I'm not very fond of the smell of this product, definitely has that strong chemical smell.

Now the number one thing that I did not like about this product is how it made my skin dry. After I sprayed on GlowFusion and see myself becoming bronzed I noticed that my skin became very dry and leathery. Imagine sitting in car with leather seats, notice how there are wrinkles and lines moving straight out around where you are sitting. That was how my skin was like when I would take my finger and poke it to my face. On top of that, since my skin was becoming so dry, I was beginning to develop very large black heads (VERY LARGE).

I have bought this product repeatedly because I absolutely loved the color it gave my skin. However, I don't believe I will be buying this product again unless they can change the formula to prevent dry skin.

Please do keep in mind that everyone will experience different results when using a variety of products. I have ready many other reviews on GlowFusion and there are more positive reports than negative.

Anyway, I'll be back for more reviews on self tanners! Stick around!

That is what i'mmost afraid of with these things looking so orange. Another thing is that it's time consuming andjust plain hard to get allover. And knowing how heavy handed I canbe with productsit is best Ijust steer clear. Great review.
