Review: The Body Shop Body & Leg Shine

I posted that one of my summer faves is The Body Shop Body & Leg shine. Available at The Body Shop or online. It's currently on sale for $8 from $18.50. I personally don't feel it's worth the $18.50, but I had no problem paying $8 for it. Currently, The Body Shop's website is having a buy 2 get 1 free sale.

Web site description:

Best if you want to: Show off your legs and body by enhancing your summer tan or transforming untanned skin with an instant bronzer that glides over skin for a smooth finish with minimal blending. Easily washes off.

Best for: all skin types and tones, with a shade for fair to medium skin tones and another for medium to dark skin tones

What it is designed to do:
Community Trade aloe vera is renowned for its excellent natural soothing and calming products, making it a common ingredient in after-sun products
No mess, no fuss twist-up pack with lid is convenient and portable.
Simply washes off at the end of the day.


The product is available in two shades. Shade 01 I feel is only for the super, super pale people..like me! It's still even a little light for my taste, but I feel like once I have a tan it will deepen it and add a glow.

My camera and lighting aren't the most conducive to showing the difference. However, hopefully you can note the slight bronzed color and shimmer. Again, I really feel this product will be most beneficial to people who already have a subtle tan and this can help deepen it.

I really like this product though for it's ease of use. I apply it to my legs and barely have to rub it in. In fact if you're in a rush, you don't have to rub it in if applied evenly. It has a greasy like consistency and a very, very subtle scent.

I am going away to Florida next week and will post pics of this product over an actual tan.
