I bet he meant Reborn Couture, not Retro.

BTW....I thought White 2 Black is supposed to be $49.98 MSRP? Am I wrong?

I used Love 4 U and Tanlicious this weekend. I thought both went on very nice/smooth, smell was great, and got great color from both. I love the bottles and the caps. The best thing I thought was the smell after tanning. I let some of my clients yesterday try them and I got nothing but great feedback. I am placing an order at the end of the week.

Tried Obsessed on Friday, a co-worker also tried it. We both loved the smell and feel but neither of us got good color from it.

Not to be a thread hi-jacker, but how can anyone possibly determine how "good" a product is after just one use? Seriously, there are very few products that I have tried for the first time and said "Wow, I got some great color from this lotion!" Especially products under $75.

I guess it just annoys me when a client buys a sample of lotion and says they didn't get any color from it.

^ I totally agree and have said that before on I Am Tan. I need at least a week of use to determine how well it works. How well it feels and smells though is of course easy with just one use.

Hate to disagree, but TOFFEE BUTTER from CAL TAN is only $41.00 and has plenty of WOW after one session.

I used Reborn Couture last night. Color was ok but the DHA smell was strong. Not as bad as some. But I dont use bronzers normally so I am a bit more sensitive to after-tan smell. I will not be ordering. Limited Couture is great though. Fresh, light and no after tan oder.

Do you guys really price at exactly MSRP? For example, $51.98 will be sold for $52 on my shelf. Am I missing the psychology here? Numbers without the decimal look cleaner and less expensive to me.

I price mine at MSRP and include tax, then round up to next dollar.

I agree that it looks cleaner without the cents on it, and this way I don't need to keep a bunch of change in the drawer - even dollars only

That's because it's over $8 per ounce. Equivalent to a bottle that ranges from $70-108 depending on size (8.5oz - 13.5oz)

these $100 plus lotions are not just a one session deal...i mean its not hardly at all about color...its about skin care!! more you spend the higher quality the ingredients and concentration of such. sure theres some differences in bronzers and tint...but mostly you are paying for the quality of the product for ones skin! helps to minimize damage...preserves...protects ones skin...prepares/repairs ones skin for and from uv exposure. for these reasons is why i think indoor tanning is so much better/smarter than the sun. we use much higher quality products in/on our skin while indoor tanning.

^^ agreed +2

Thats why I use my shampoo analogies with clients that just dont get it. White rain to Wal-mart lotions as indoor lotions (well most) to Aveda.

I tried the "cube". Went on nice & smooth, had a nice smell, absorbed well also. I liked the color I got as well. I had a customer try it, and she also liked it
