I really like the Jergen's Natural Glow lotion. It gives a very natural, even color. Unless you're uber pale, I'd suggest not getting the lightest shade, and go for the medium shade. It does smell like a self-tanner, but it's not horrible. Be sure to get the body lotion and the special lotion just for your face, because using the body one on your face will likely cause a breakout.

If you use it right before bed, just be aware that some of it will come off on your sheets. If they're a dark color you probably won't notice, but my sheets are a sage green and they look kinda dirty after a few nights. It comes out in the wash though.

For very special occasions, I splurge on a Mystic Tan. It doesn't get any easier than that, and they look fantastic. I usually do that two days before the occasion, so I have a day to exfoliate any uneven spots if I need to.
