Millenium Tanning - Black Storm Premium Tanning Lotion, 60x Auto-Darkening Tan Technology Extreme Silicone Bronzer - 13.5 Ounce

I really love Millenium Tanning products through Amazon, but if you are going to get Paint it Black, you can get their Black Storm for the same price through Amazon, and that is supposed to have slightly more bronzers. If you're looking for something much stronger in the Millenium Tanning line, then you can check out Pure Black. A-Z Wholesale Tanning sells it through Amazon, but its not Amazon guaranteed yet. The price is $27.99 atm, but Pure Black is supposed to be 100x as opposed to 50x or 60x bronzers. I'll be purchasing it soon to see how it compares, but honestly I'm kinda new to the whole tanning thing, and I have yet to try the entire Designer Skin line to compare these to, and they seem to be the most popular. Overall, though, I'd say the Paint it Black and Black Storm work very well. I live in Indiana, and I try to hit the tanning bed every day. I don't use the expensive ones, just regular or mini-Ultimate with Facials. I use regular beds 2 days, then I hit a facial tanner one day, and I keep alternating at that rate unless there are none of one availabe, then I'll just take what's open. I pay $27 for 30 days of tanning, so I mainly use that and these lotions, and I recently had to go to the doctor's for something, and the nurse actually asked me if I'm mixed lol. I'm 1/4 Irish, 1/4 English, and 1/2 Russian Jew, so I have a pale to olive complexion and I tan really well, but I'd say these lotions really make the difference when it comes down to it. And the price difference from these as opposed to Designer Skin lotions is just too much for me to ignore, so I stick with Millenium Tanning. I'm about to try a whole new routine where I'll be using Designer Skin's Bombshell 100x one day, Black Storm the next, and Millenium Tanning's Black Night 60x the next, and then start over. I read somewhere recently that switching lotions daily actually gives you a broader spectrum of coverage in tanning, and I'm hoping that the Bombshell 100x (which is a slight tingler,) will break my tanning plateau, and allow me to get REALLY dark. I guess I'll find out soon because I ordered them all through Amazon, and they've all been shipped. Just waiting on their arrivals now.

Stop paying your salon ridiculous prices & listening to their lies! This product is awesome! It smells great and works very well. It glides on smooth and firms your skin. This products gave me a very nice bronze color with out an orange or streaky look. I purchased my Black Storm, HDMann, and Cypher all off Amazon from GreenWebinc. Every product purchased has been legitimate. Any review that says differently is simply a salon employee trying to sway you from saving money and hoping to make a commission. My salon is always trying to sell me their latest lotions for super high prices. I have tried HDMann, and Cypher Black and this stuff is by far better, of course every person's skin is different. I love the smell of HDMann, and it has great scent technology, but it doesn't bronze as well. Cypher works well, but the smell doesn't last all day or even right after tanning. My salon tried to push Cypher Black on me for $160.00 and I said "No thanks", politely. They asked if I was using anything new and I said "yes, Black Storm". Then they asked where I purchased it from and I said, "Amazon". Instantly, I was told never to purchase products off Amazon because they are all fakes and that Black storm is garbage. Of course, they do not carry Millenium brands either, so I just laughed and moved on. I will tell you that this product is not a fake. I have a very dark & bronzed tan, and nice base and this product boosted my tan to an entirely different level! I highly recommend saving money and buying Black Storm or any other tanning lotion from Greenwebinc. here off Amazon. Don't waste your hard earned money at the salon, you give them enough as it is!

I used to run a tanning salon years ago and I've purchased for myself and others all kinds of premium tanning lotions, creams, accelerators, bronzers etc. This one isn't bad at all. It doesn't smell great but it doesn't smell awful either. The complaints by many about the smell is one that has to be looked at with some external variables not applicable to everyone. First of all, everybody's physiological makeup is different and this lotion will interact with an individual's body chemistry, which in itself promotes a distinctive odor, respective to each of us. Diet can also affect the way external cosmetic products smell when interacting with our sweat and scent glands. If someone drinks alcohol or eats pungent foods such as onion, garlic or curry, to name only a few; this will have an affect upon the way highly potent lotions such as "Black Storm" interact with an individual's skin and will play a determinant role in the development of any resulting body odor.Another way, in my opinion, to tell a good lotion of any kind, but especially tanning lotions, is to look at where "dimethicone" lies within the list of ingredients on the back of the bottle. It is second on Black Storm. Dimethicone protects and hydrates the skin. The one thing I am most pleased about regarding this lotion is its ease of use. That is to say, it is easy to apply evenly and it absorbs quickly. It is a great buy. The ingredients in the lotion seem to be the real deal and they aren't cheap. It has worked well for me so far and I recommend it for the moderate to serious tanner.
