Fun, but not for everyday. I love Nivea, period. I think you can never fully go wrong with their products. This shimmer lotion is nice, but it feels a bit oily to me. Plus, no one wants to shimmer all...Read more

it smells weird and too strong, consistency is too runny and it doesnt absorb well. the shimmer is pretty but usually hard to spread around evenly. im not a fan.

While this stuff looks fabulous on the skin out in the sun, it smells really weird and makes me not want to use it. I wish it smelled better...throwing out half of the bottle now.

This did not do much for my fair skin. Maybe it would look nicer on someone tan? It did not feel to moisturizing. I gave this to my sister who is dark unlike myself.
