Great for a light tan
I like how easily the product applies with the mitt and evenly blends in. The two shades are more for a light to light medium tan. I like the brand and am going to try darker shades for the summer, but these will work great in the Fall thru Spring for a more natural looking tan.
One note, if you wait the full three hours and wait to shower off after 8 hours, if you get water on yourself or scratch yourself, you'll see it come off in those areas. It will be even again after you shower, so if you're out for an event just be aware. I noticed after some water from my water bottle got on me and saw some streaks & after I scratched my leg too. That's probably normal, but would have been embarrassing I was out around others.

BAD SMELL
I’ve been using self tanner since 1993 after having melanoma. I’ve probably tried them all! This brand is the worst smelling! Did not like the Absolute X20 at all; went on ashey and did not give me much tan color. Settled in the pores on my face - looked like gray dots. Took a long time to dry, too.

Best tanning system ever!
I love, love, love this product. I am 64 yrs young and have lost 60# and wanted to look healthy instead of white and sickly. I ordered this and tried the "instant" bronzing foam first. OMG, it is amazing! A beautiful color and made me look toned and healthy. When that starts to fade, I use the other product after I shower and watch it slowly get darker and darker as the day goes by. No transfer onto clothing or bed sheets! I can't recommend this product enough!

Both are terrible
First off the x20 did nothing but give my skin a slight grayish cast. The caramel one made me orange. I'm not really judging them based on the color however because Minetan does the whole "skin tone" thing which is great. However unlike every other Minetan product ive used these streaked around my feet and wrists, got patchy on my legs when I shaved the next day and was still coming off on my towel 2 days later. Normally I say Minetan makes the best product that eliminates all the normal self tanning annoyances. Not these two. As for color, the caramel would probably be a great color on someone with olive undertones and a darker complexion. I'm a redhead with a pink-neutral undertone and I looked ridiculous.

Caramel is extremely natural looking on me
I recently bought this kit and a can of the deep ash color, because I wanted the most natural looking tan on me. I call myself "swarthy white"-my ethnicity is half Irish and half Italian, so I have a subtle olive undertone with a surprising amount of pinkiness in my complexion. I look more Irish in Winter and more Italian in the summer. I tested them all on different areas of my upper arms and shoulders on the same day, and rinsed off after an hour and a half. There was no smell-I did not notice anything hours later as some others did. The caramel looked extremely similar to my natural late spring color. I think I will leave it on for 3 hours or simply apply it 2 days in a row to achieve my summer tone. The absolute 20 was not very noticeable except in a small area where I didn't apply it smoothly enough-it looks greyish and "dirty", like I have been gardening and need a shower. The dark ash, which I thought would be the best for me based on MineTans website description, was completely wrong. It is a cool brown, but it is definately not for most Caucasian skin tones. I looked like Countess Lu Ann in her Diana Ross costume!! I almost believe her that that was an accident instead of purposeful now. If you are light skinned AA with a cool undertone Dark Ash will provide a beautiful natural tan for you.

Disappointed
Generally speaking, I love the MineTan products and when I ran out of the extra dark coconut foam and it was out of stock, I decided to go with this item and was extremely disappointed. The color payoff was barely noticeable on the x20 bottle... like BARELY noticeable.. it should be named minus 20 instead, it was that terrible. Not at all what I was expecting. The caramel also had a lil orangey-ness to it which I never usually get with MineTan which is one of the reasons I love the brand so much. I am returning this product and going to give the Morrocan foam a try. Qvc please bring back the MineTan Extra Dark Coconut foam!

Nice Self Tan
I am a very fair dark brunette. My first application of Mine Tan and I received a beautiful tan. I applied it at night a couple of hours before bed and to insure a deep tan. I like that it has color sonyu can see where you are applying the tanner and it dries fairly quickly. I slept with it on and didn't rinse until the next morning. I was very pleased with the tan that developed. It lasts a couple of days and fades evenly. The tanner itself has no detectable fragrance, but after a coupke of hours when the DHA kicks in for the tan to develop, that familiar self tanner smell is definitely there. That's why I would never apply self tanner and then get dressed and go anywhere. It isn't as strong as in some tanners I've previously used, but it is there. Once you do the quick rinse as instructed it isn't noticeable anymore. Since DHA is the activator in all self tanning products expect that smell in this one, too. I do like this product a lot and would recommend it.
