brand background: Rochester, New York-based Glow on the Go founder, Anne Marie Marshall, has developed a line of professional tanning solutions. The line is made up of rapid and standard-development times, violet and olive bases, and an ultra dark hybrid of both. Anne Marie developed A’Marie after 13+ years experience in the sunless industry and knowing exactly what both she and her 10,000+ clients (including the likes of Dancing with the Stars contestants) could ever want from a solution.

solution applied: 12% DHA, standard development time

professional solution price: $59 for a quart, $199 for a gallonECO-certified DHA

texture: a light, fine mist with a dark bronze guide color

dry time: five minutes

scent: unscented

(hot) take on the tan: I applied two layers of the solution on myself at night and let develop for around 10 hours before showering in the morning. The result? An ultra dark, yet glowing brown tan that lasted eight days before beginning to fade. The end result was a tan about four shades darker than my natural skin color; a bright, smooth professional-looking skin finish; and even, non-streaky coverage (especially considering I sprayed my self). I would recommend this solution to anyone looking for a beautiful, dark, yet natural-looking tan that lasts long and looks so fresh, even in the coldest, driest winter months.
