the body shop coconut body butter
This body butter smelt absolutely gorgeous and instantly transported me back to a summer holiday I went on last year. I really liked the solidified thick consistency which felt incredibly nourishing on my skin and the shimmer was very subtle, more like a highlighter, which made it suitable for day or evening use and looked great against my fake tan. 5/5

nevertoobusytobebeautiful cocktail lustre
I was a bit sceptical when I was asked to test a \'body shimmer\' - I had visions of distinctly mirror-ball like skin, but I was really pleasantly surprised by this! In the pot the cream looks quite yellowy-orange but it matched my fairly pale skin really nicely and just gave a very subtle sheen, with a slight shimmer of gold. The cream also smelt absolutely delicious, but not overpowering at all, so it didn\'t compete with my perfume. It lasted really well and didn\'t rub off on my clothes at all, the only thing I didn\'t like was it was so durable that the palms of my hands were a bit shimmery. Overall I was really happy with the way this looked and smelt and would definitely use it again! 4/5

Molton Brown heavenly gingerlily shimmer oil, £29.35

molton brown heavenly gingerlily shimmer oil
Containing ginger, sandalwood and cardamom to soothe the senses I felt like I was at a spa every time I smelt this luxurious shimmering oil. I have fairly dry skin so this oil was a great alternative to my usual moisturiser but, although I found that the subtle fragrance lasted all day, I did find it hard to get an even coating of shimmer on my body. 4/5

Too Faced Kitty Glitter in Purrfect, £8

too faced kitty glitter
I loved the cute packaging of this glitter which also has a teeny little powder puff perfect for sweeping glitter onto my collarbones and shoulders. The glitter was a little too dense for daytime but looked great on a night out and it didn\'t seem to come off on my clothes as I\'ve often found with other brands. Sadly it didn\'t last the whole night but the little pot is small enough to fit in a clutch for mid-partying touch-ups. 3/5

Just gorgeous. This is one of the best nourishing oils I\'ve ever used. The glittering particles you can see in the bottle really do translate to your skin to give a perfect golden shimmer. And it really moisturises too... 4.5/5

Benefit Kitten Classic, £19.09

benefit kitten klassic
Kitten Classic is a golden champagne body shimmer in a puff, with a light floral scent. Although the shimmer is hard to get out of the puff, when it\'s flowing it leaves a golden shine to your skin - perfect for getting your summer legs out and leaving you smelling gorgeous. The only downside to the product was that the shimmer seems very light at first, and a few coats are needed. 3/5

This lotion initially had a sickly strawberry scent, but this eventually calmed down and left my skin with subtle, pretty shimmer that wasn\'t tacky or obvious. 3.5/5
