Hi Everyone. It's Tuesday Tara here writing from my childhood home in Washington, DC this week. Let me tell you, it is HOT here to say the least! But the heat has never kept me from visiting with friends and hitting the town. Good thing for me, I still have a nice tan for that; and what better way to flaunt it than with a subtle body shimmer--this week's topic!
As I've mentioned in the past, I'm not a big make-up person in the summer. It's just too hot for me to layer more product on top of my essential serums, creams, etc. So in the summers I'm a big fan of "combination" products like tinted SPFs, SPF lip balms, etc. I've found an awesome combination product for a body shimmer, as well--Burt's Bees Radiance Body Lotion!
If I'm going to apply a body lotion anyhow, and I want a little shimmer, this lotion is the way to go. It is light (perfect for summer), absorbs well, smells great, and leaves your skin with a subtle sheen, from the mica in it's ingredients. This lotion is definitely not intended for a full-on shimmer effect, but it does reflect on your skin, and people will ask you (as they have me):
"is your skin sparkling or something? whatever you're wearing looks great." Now of course, I don't need a light lotion that draws attention to my pallor in the winter--so this has become a summer-specific favorite of mine. I find the best products are the ones that bring out your natural beauty. This product definitely does that for me in the summer, and I think it would do the same for you!
