This product gave me the nastiest breakout ever! I should have known better! I thought that it wouldn't be that big of a deal since I usually use other good face products and I trusted Bath and Body Works to have better quality stuff. It contains mineral oil, which I suspect was causing the problem. It leaves a nice shimmer and the consistency is OK, but it's not unlike a lot of other products out there nowadays. And the breakouts were not worth it--$15 for a product like this is just ridiculous. Bath and Body Works really could have done better. I took this back. This stuff is not worth the money.

this is an OK product and I really commend BBW for coming out with a bronzing SPF, however I really don't like this product for 3 reasons: 1). it contains mineral oil, which is not good for my oily skin, 2). although it's an spf 30, it isn't a broad spectrum 3). the glitter particles are just way too big for anyone to wear over their entire face. Honestly I would be scared of getting the particles stuck in my pores. It's just way to noticable. For the price ($15) I would rather buy my HG Revlon Skinlights illuminator in golden light with an spf 15. that's only $13 and I can layer it over my clinique SCB spf 25 (which is a broad spectrum). I plan on either returning this to BBW or mixing it into one of my body butters.

I don't think anyone could wear this all over their face as a sunblock because the shimmer particles are very obvious. BUT, the product would look gorgeous if applied sparsely as a highlighter or used for night but that defeats the whole point of a sunblock so my final verdict is no, in terms of repurchasing. Besides, $15 for a mere 1 fl. oz is not a bargain.
