It’s been so hot & sunny in the UK recently (typically it’s chucking it down with rain today!) and I’ve been using the Nourish Golden Glow Toning Body Shimmer to give my skin a lovely sunkissed glow. This is a re-packaged version of their Souffle however this is more travel friendly & comes in a pump bottle rather than a jar.
As you can (hopefully!) see from the photos it gives a lovely sheen & glow to the skin. I agree completely with its claim of a “natural sun-kissed glow”. It doesn’t look glittery at all and the shimmery particles are very fine. It stays on all day long and looks so nice when the sun hits your skin. It’s really hard to get this on camera but I hope you can see the effect as its really lovely – try moving your screen a little to see the fine shimmer particles. As the shimmer particles are very fine, I think this would look lovely at Winter time too if you’re bearing your skin in the cold weather! Just don’t apply too much as it can go a little patchy.
As far as “toning” goes, I wouldn’t apply this body lotion everyday so I can’t comment on that and I don’t really think any body care product can really “tone” up your skin but it does definitely even out my skin tone and give a lovely glow to the skin which makes me look healthier & dewy!
The ingredients on the box don’t quite match the order on the website…Nourish have put Aloe Vera as the second ingredient on the website which isn’t exactly great…I contacted the lady who e-mailed me about reviewing this product a couple weeks ago & she said that she’d contact the Nourish website person to change it but as of yet it hasn’t changed…

Nice review…Really like the natural glow it gives! x
This looks really interesting! Glad to see it doesn't look glittery either… might have to give this one a go! x
Great review. I tried a sample recently and loved it. I adore the face version x
I have the teeniest sample of this product and can't wait to give it a go. I'm a sucker for a radiance balm on the bod and use them all summer long. It looks lovely on you! x
sounds good 🙂 Nourish is a brand i wanna try!

Sounds really lovely. The finish looks great and I'm a sucker for frankincense 🙂
Thanks! Its lovely isn't it x
Its lovely! It does have a teeny bit of glitter but its very very fine & more glowy than sparkly x
Thanks Sandra! I remember seeing in your sample stash post! Oooh the face version!? That sounds interesting! x
Ooh let me know when you try it Gem! Thank you 🙂 x
They have loads of lovely products! x
Ooh me too I love a bit of frankincense! 🙂
I have a sample of the face shimmer and thought it was terrible lol, a body version is a better idea because shimmery legs and summer tans are a nice combination when on holiday 🙂
Yeah I'm not sure a face one would work as well?! It'd be lovely on holiday 🙂
Looks nice especially for vacations! xx
I took this on my holidays to test and really liked it! Like you I took the toning bit with a pinch of salt but the ingredients are lovely 🙂 Xx
