Review: Tarte Celebutante Moisturizing Dry-Oil Shimmer Spray

celebutante.jpgWhat They Say: "Unless “work” means “sunbathing,” we don’t want to have any part of it in the summer. Unfortunately, we’re not that lucky. Not to worry: a few spritzes of this non-greasy, dry oil shimmer spray will give even the most office-dulled skin a glistening champagne-colored sheen. The avocado & apricot oils moisturize, while the Vitamin E works as an antioxidant to prevent premature signs of aging. Even better? The light coconut scent is convincing enough to have anyone believe you’ve just spent a day lounging in the summer sun…you’re just that fabulous."

Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I'm going to start right off by telling you that unless you are a huge fan of shimmer, as in you just love to use shimmer as a skin accessory when you go out, then you probably won't find much use for this. Perhaps if you're a teen through college-aged this will appeal to you.

Yes, it smells nice and summery. The dry oil absorbs completely and is not greasy in the least. But the moisturizing effects are very minimal...it's all about the shimmer. While it is tasteful and not at all large glittery bits, this product basically smells like coconut suntan oil and just adds lots of very fine shimmer to your skin. And your hands from applying it. ...And anything your hands touch (like your face).

I will say this: if you do want the shimmer and day-at-the-beach scent, this stuff doesn't just wash off right away. You could use it at the beach or pool over your sunscreen and take a dip and I HIGHLY doubt that this stuff will come off. I washed my hands with plain water AND soap & water and scrubbed them dry with a towel ...and YEP, still shimmery.
