Adds a nice glow but stays oily and don’t trust the SPF!
Color: Rose, Color: Rose
Edit: taking this down to 3 stars after I finally got the chance to wear it in the sun for several hours and test the SPF. I went to an outdoor event and wore just the glow oil for 4 hours and got some pretty good sunburns on my face and shoulders (see last photo)! The only reason I didn’t take the stars lower is that they advertise it as a glow glitter oil before spf and that part is true. I’d also note that after an hour in the sun my sweat started to bead up because of the oil- I’d normally sweat yes but in a sheen that isn’t super noticeable vs big drops all over that made me look like I had a fever or something! I also never felt like the oily feeling absorbed into my skin. So I 100% won’t be trusting this for SPF in the future and with the oily feeling I don’t think I’d even wear it for just the shimmer look. I’ll admit I was a little skeptical about the spf of this oil, but I looked at all the ingredients and GPT says it’s good stuff lol! So far I’ve only worn it for maybe an hour so hard to say for sure how effective it is but the ingredients are solid. The oil gives a nice gleam and subtle shimmer to your skin, not too glittery. It is oil so it doesn’t really rub in, I don’t know if I’d wear it with any super nice clothes.

Great alternative to the high end brand.
This product was delightful! Glides on beautifully, and provides great sun protection. I am fairly light complexed and this did its job keeping me from getting burned. It also leaves a beautiful glow on your skin.

Pure grease! Irritated skin
Xiuxixu Body Glow Oil Broad Spectrum SPF 45, sunscreen body oil lightweight glowing lotion moisturizing coconut oils waterproof non-sticky texture easy absorb, #02 Rose Gold 3.38 fl oz. Made in China. This arrived like-new, in sealed, nondescript, pink packaging. I guess I should’ve known better from the brand name…but the unique rose gold color lured me in. It’s very pretty in the bottle too. But the shimmer totally disappears when rubbed into the skin. I was shocked I couldn’t seen a shine in several different lightings(other than looking very oily). It absolutely REEKS of sunscreen, too, and is VERY greasy. Whatever you touch— it WILL transfer! Also, the ingredients list is really sketchy. Lots of long chemicals I can’t pronounce. Even though I immediately wiped this off, it ended up making my skin breakout/turn red and itchy for a day. No, I would not recommend this product.
