Editor Review

Rated a 4

I first saw this on a Brazilian model during a fashion show. Immediate thought: I can have her gorgeous, tan skin, too. After warming the partially solidified oil with water, I rubbed it all over, hoping to be an instant bronze goddess. Instead, the shimmery color was sheer (duh: "Glow") and rubbed off on my white dress. (Booo.) The coconut fragrance enchanted as the oil moisturized skin. Some use it to add shine to hair, but too much makes strands look oily.

    PROPER APPLICATION TIP:

    by CaitGOSABRES (1 review)
    This is actually a very beautiful product, and learned first hand from the longest tenured brand rep of Nars how to use this. The key to keeping this from rubbing off on your clothes is to apply this after you step out of the shower and are still damp! Your skin is more accepting of the oil, thus absorbing the color instead... of letting it sit on top of your skin. May 7, 2008, 9:34 am

    Pretty great

    by honeybee11 (14 reviews)
    I bought this when I went on vacation in Greece. If you already have a tan this enhances it and gives you that extra glow, and if you're fair skinned it gives you great color and shimmer without making you look orange . Like other reviewers have said though, be careful! I think I got a little too excited to use it an put on... perhaps more than I should have and ended up getting embarrassing stains on a while sun dress. If you're planning on being out in the sun too long don't put on a lot because it tends to sweat off a little. Give yourself a little time between putting it on and getting dressed. Other than that it's a wonderful product and smells amazing! February 22, 2008, 9:48 am

    Good product, but be careful.

    by RWilliams (22 reviews)

    A friend of mine gave me a bottle of this because she had too many beauty products and was getting rid of things she never used. I love it, but have to use it carefully. Like any "bronzer", I am careful to apply it and try not to wear light clothing with it. I use it most after I have been on the beach. I know som...e people who use this as a tanning oil, but I say this with caution- it doesn't have SPF. It smells amazing and I especially like how it makes my skin appear shimmery without looking like I took a bath in glitter. January 22, 2008, 11:25 am

    maybe I'm crazy....

    by melg_1981 (10 reviews)
    ...but this product smells distinctly of play-dough. and not in a cute, nostalgic sort of way. it competes with whatever fragrance i have on, so much so that people have commented on it. it does give skin a beautiful sheen, which only lasts a couple of hours and will meander into whatever crease it can find, making you l...ook tiger-like. i tried to use it on dry skin as well and just-out-of-the-shower damp, but it still was just OK. for the price, it really isn't worth it.

    I've given Nars products many, many shots. This I would say is the worst of the bunch, I don't like the smell at all and it rubs off on everything. It also solidifys in cold and must be soaked in warm water to soften. I got rid of a whole bottle of this, 2 multiples, the 'o' blush (this won't let you post that word:) -all b...asically unused, the list goes on, yet I'm still willing to try...

    it's all in how you apply it

    by luxegirl (10 reviews)
    The most important thing is that you warm it up first. You do this by warming up the bottle..turn the warm water on and submerge the bottle for a minute or two, don't add the water to the contents to dilute it. The water will break up the product. I love the way it smells and goes on. It isn't too greasy and gives just th...e right sheen and color and bronze. Wouldn't suggest putting it in the hair, however. But great for a night out.

    Love it but....

    by SexyMthrPucker (4 reviews)
    as the other reviewers have stated, it doesn't dry and tends to get everywhere. I think you either love or hate the fragrance of it (I love it personally). It does give you a great glow and works much better if you apply immediately after showering. I would definitely buy this again, but use caution when wearing. :) June 2, 2008, 10:02 am

    Love It...

    by TheMakeupGirl (8 reviews)

    This is the most amazing smelling thing around. It makes a tan look amazing and perfect for summer. A few tips, wait until it's dry before you get dressed if you are putting it on your arms or legs as it will rub off while it's wet. Also, if it solidifies immerse the bottle in a basin of hot water and it will loosen righ...t up again. January 9, 2008, 8:45 am

    Smells beautfully exotic and looks sexy!

    by nepodro (19 reviews)
    It is subtle and you do have to be careful not to make a mess but it does look good if you do it right. Overdone doesn't look good anyway. So I think its perfect other than the big price tag. The smell takes you away to the islands. November 12, 2009, 10:42 am
