Glow Fusion – Almost the Perfect Tanning Spray Gun

This is Fusion Beauty’s GlowFusion spray tanner. Yes, I am back in tanning mode after taking a little time off for winter. 
I have lusted for this since last year when it came out, and finally sprung for it. This puppy is a cool $175 (at Sephora), but overall, it is money well spent. What do I like so much about it that makes it worth that kind of money, you might ask? Well, first and foremost, it is cordless and rechargable. I really would not have appreciated this so much if I hadn’t been using a sprayer with a cord, and a large hose attached to the air compressor for so long – but I have, and *boy* do I appreciate it! Also, this unit is not drippy and leaky, like the one I have used for the last couple of years. The spray mist is fine enough, but not so fine that it takes forever to spray on your tan.
Ok, what don’t I like? Yep, there are some things I don’t particularly care for. This unit is all plastic, and to me this feels like it isn’t going to last a terribly long time. I might be totally wrong here, only time will tell. I have been using this one for nearly a month, and its doing a great job, but it will take a whole lot more than one month for me to get my money’s worth out of it. I also cannot spray upside down, which makes it a little harder than it has to be to reach my back side (I mean my back…lol). But thats ok – my last gun, if I turned it upside down, it would spray, but I would get all those drips running down my hand and arm, so I didn’t spray upside down anyway. Also, I really don’t like Fusion’s tanning solution. I can’t tell where it really tans me much at all. I could use it every day if I needed to because it is so convenient, but who has time for all that. I like to tan once or twice a week. Now, their tanning solution does smell good! But, I think it smells good because it doesn’t have much DHA in it. It does have lots of yummy cocoa scent though – I smell like a big candy bar when I spray it on. But, food smells are not my favorite scents, I would rather have a tan and smell like self tanner, honestly.
So, I am still using my O2 tanning solution from O2 Cosmetics – I love it, and it works perfectly in this gun. Are any of you into spray tanning at home? If not, you should be. You save a lot of money, a lot of time, and, well, I think the tan is better than what you can get out of a lotion. Although I admit, I still use lotions too – I just have such a fetish for trying new things.
Thanks for this info! Any tips for application? I’m going to be using the Fusion gun with the O2 solution, too, but have had problems before in getting an even application. I tend to overspray some areas and miss others!
Christina – WOW! I am amazed to hear that this works. I happy that it does, though!!!
Does it spray color everywhere when it is used, or does it go on colorless so the bathroom is left in a brown haze?
I was looking into an airbrush system as well. Are they less drying than the lotions? I love ModelCo’s Airbrush in a Can and even the B&BW tan in a a can goes in in every direction, and I am sort of happy with these. Should I invest in either or?

Great post on the Fusion Glow Gun! I just got mine last week. Actually, I paid $50 for a brand new one that came with a free 8 oz. refill from Hautelook.com (they have Fusion products on sale every few months). I like the system except that the solution that comes with the gun seems really light. I wish it was darker. Do you know of any other solution I can put in the gun?
