I use the one off the TV. Keep it in the car & whip it around my face on the way somewhere  great over other make up too.
Makes me look nice & tanned not so great on the coverage of blemishes as I'm considering getting their concealer but won't do that until I run out of my normal liquid makeup.

I use thin lizzy other my liquid makeup and I find it helps set it nicely, i dont find that I go orange unless I go slightly overboard with it, which alas sometimes I do 
The concealer didnt work so well, I found that after a few hours the concealer would kind of seperate and leave spots of concealer that were really evident to see.
My sister in law asked for some for xmas, so I'e bought it for her. She is really pale so will be interesting to see if she goes orange

the BOYS in my class wore it for photo day (i have no idea why) and looked like Oompa Loompas. Could be their dodgy application skills however

I wear it. It's great
I found that if I put a small amount on and spend a minute or so blending it in it gives really nice coverage.

I use it as a bronzer, eye shadow and a blush but thats it, not enough coverage for my pimples and even the light is too dark for overall when you have very fair english skin like me lol

I haven't used the compact, but I use the concealer and it is pretty good.
Definitely not as good as the ad makes out though.

I am a huge make up fan & find Thin Lizzy is actually for its price.
It doesn't offer the 'coverage' it promises but works well as a bronzer & a natural looking sweep over the eyelids too. The liquid concealer is really good & the lip gloss is average. Good gloss, but super sticky & should NOT be worn in the wind with your hair out! Ha ha
If applied correctly, no bronzer should make you look orange.

I got thin lizzy recently because I was doing my sisters makeup and bridesmaids for a wedding, and I found it to work really well if you put on your usual foundation as a base and then put it over the top, the key is to blend it don't just brush it on and leave it. As long as you blend it into your neck, it doesn't look too orange. And it looked great in the wedding photos. You can brush it onto your chest and arms too.
I wouldnt treat it like a foundation as the ad suggests, I use my foundation and concealer first then brush it over the top when I want to look more tanned on a special occasion. Im really pale and it works for me
