Looks Great on Skin, Easy to Apply. Don't Know How Much Sun Protection
Looks great on shoulders, legs, etc. for glow. Haven't yet tried it on beach or places I would sunburn. Hoping it really works for that purpose. OTW, nice cosmetic to add glow where you want it.

Wonderful
Color: Rose
Wonderful body oil. I’m 61 years old, but I still like to have a little bit of glam. This body oil is not only nourishing it smell smells wonderful and makes your skin glow. For the price you cannot beat it.

My favorite sunscreen
Very easy to use and reapply, prevents sunburn effectively, and I love the way it makes my skin glow. I will say if you are using it properly, you will go through a bottle quickly so I recommend purchasing 2 right out the gate.

Adds a nice glow but stays oily and don’t trust the SPF!
Color: Rose, Color: Rose
Edit: taking this down to 3 stars after I finally got the chance to wear it in the sun for several hours and test the SPF. I went to an outdoor event and wore just the glow oil for 4 hours and got some pretty good sunburns on my face and shoulders (see last photo)! The only reason I didn’t take the stars lower is that they advertise it as a glow glitter oil before spf and that part is true. I’d also note that after an hour in the sun my sweat started to bead up because of the oil- I’d normally sweat yes but in a sheen that isn’t super noticeable vs big drops all over that made me look like I had a fever or something! I also never felt like the oily feeling absorbed into my skin. So I 100% won’t be trusting this for SPF in the future and with the oily feeling I don’t think I’d even wear it for just the shimmer look.
I’ll admit I was a little skeptical about the spf of this oil, but I looked at all the ingredients and GPT says it’s good stuff lol! So far I’ve only worn it for maybe an hour so hard to say for sure how effective it is but the ingredients are solid. The oil gives a nice gleam and subtle shimmer to your skin, not too glittery. It is oil so it doesn’t really rub in, I don’t know if I’d wear it with any super nice clothes.
