Nice smell, nice texture, nice glittering effect (discreet, but I prefer it that way). I would buy it again, but I can't find it anymore here in Europe. UPDATE: Won't buy again because Nivea uses subs...Read more

I love this. It smells great, is affordable, and isn't too over the top. Doesn't streak, makes your skin look natural but really glowy and shiny, and is just so easy to rub on. When wearing it on my...Read more

This leaves a beautiful finish on my skin. Nice & shimmery, not glittery. it gives a healthy glow w/ shimmer. It isn't a self tanner, it just enhances your own skin color. So NO streaks or color blotc...Read more

Love this stuff. I have the version for dark skin b/c I like the more golden shimmer and it adds a little touch of tan. I've used the original version as well, and liked it, too, but I just like the...Read more

Wow, I can't understand the bad reviews. I think they reformulated the product. I used to have one a few years back and the shimmer was chunky and distracting. My mother-in-law brought me back a bottl...Read more

I give this a 3.5/5. I really liked the way it made my skin feel, definitely smoothed and moisturized. However, I could not bear the scent of the cream after a while, it lingered on too long. I prefer...Read more

I actually quite liked this. Leaves a nice golden shimmer on the skin and moisturises well. It does, however, like all the Nivea body lotions I've tried, leave a film on the skin and doesn't absorb co...Read more
