Hi Melziefire,
I finally found some Jergens Natural Glow at my local grocery store. I'm so excited. They were all out of the Medium, so I thought I'd try the Fair. I have olive skin, but I'm very, very pale. I've used it for 2 days, and really like the results I have so far. I do detect an "after" smell, but it's not bad. It really does look natural, and is not streaky at all. If and when I want to be brave and go darker, I'll check out Banana Boat's sunless color bronzer, like you recommended. I'm a little nervous about it, 'cause I don't like to tan my face anymore or put self-tanner on my face (afraid it'll break me out), so I don't want my face to be a whole different color than my body (lol)! With Jergens, I just use a little of my Bare Escentuals Warmth on my cheekbones and it's perfect.

I found mine at Wal-Mart and Albertson's Grocery store (if you have that).
I have now switched to Banana Boat Sunless Color bronzer/tanner in Deep Dark in the foam. I reeeally like it! I have had *no* streaking to speak of really, although I do get a bit darker on my big toe (LOL!) and ankles although I have somewhat corrected that by moisturizing those areas first. Truly, I was a self tanner novice when this summer rolled around, but I wanted to have some REAL color for once, so I've had fun experimenting. I just re-purchased the Banana Boat because I like it so much. If you want more color than the Jergens, I definitely recommend it!
Of course, if you're just wanting a sun-kissed look, then Jergens is for you.
