Love it.
Color: 03 Glistening Bronze
I got the darkest one and it’s really nice even though I am so pale skinned. It will be beautiful shimmer for summer.. the bottle looks bigger than it is but it’s still a great product. I don’t know if the sunscreen part is legit but I haven’t tried. I just got it for the glitter.

A fresh dewy glow.
Color: 01 Rose Gold
My First time purchase and am clearly lovin it. Glitter creates a nature sheen and a dewy, moist appearance. Color I chose blends perfectly with my light base.

Nice Glow Just Sticky
Color: 03 Glistening Bronze
I was really excited to try this body glow oil, especially since it has SPF 45, getting sun protection and a bronzed shimmer all in one sounded perfect. The color is beautiful and gives a nice glow without looking too glittery, which I appreciate. However, it does feel a bit sticky right after application. I ended up lightly dusting some setting powder over it, which helped a lot to take down the tackiness and make it feel more comfortable throughout the day. Just a heads-up: you don’t need a lot of product, start with a small amount and build up if needed. It absorbs fairly quickly but still leaves that dewy finish, so it might not be ideal if you’re not into that slightly glossy feel. Overall, though, I really like the effect, especially for photos or a night out. Just takes a little trial and error to get it to work how you want!
