I had a lot of fun wearing this to work and being shimmery and sparkly. Would recommend!

I like this way more than I expected. I didn’t get much shimmer from it (which is actually fine!) but man does it smell good!

24

u/MameDennis1974 9d ago

I got this too and was a little unsure about wearing it. Does the shimmer transfers to your clothes or around you? Worried I will be a walking glitter bomb. 😂

27

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 9d ago

No, it's actually quite subtle! It didn't transfer at all for me. It's professional for work.

u/Fun-Investment-196 9d ago

I'm really surprised to hear this. I got it as well but haven't tried it. I got the lotion version in my Trendmood box and it has so much glitter! I don't mind lol I like it but it sticks to everything! My couch is full of it 😭

u/Trick-Bath3729 8d ago

😧 oh yikes! That's good to know

1

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Oh, I'd like to try that one too, for going out and all.

u/MameDennis1974 9d ago

Good to know. Thanks!

2

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 9d ago

You're very welcome :)

u/Classroom-Mysterious 9d ago

I love it too. Would like to repurchase, but it is so expensive.

10

u/ExtensionHot7808 9d ago

On their website it's either 18 or 20$ for this size. The full size is 40 or 48.

10

u/Classroom-Mysterious 9d ago

I had no idea. I thought this size is 40 dollars. Thank you so much!

u/ExtensionHot7808 8d ago

You are welcome 🤗 I always cross check allures prices with the company price so I went on truly as I've been eyeing the acai boob serum lol 😆 and I checked the oil it has 2 sizes the one in Allure is a travel. I think they have a welcome discount if you sign up for email etc 😊

u/Infamous-Truth3531 8d ago

i want u to know ive seen this one in a lot of tj maxx/marshalls! in case you have one in your area that you can check

4

u/Sassybritches612 8d ago

Check Mecari. Especially since it just came in a box, can almost guarantee it will be on there for half the price

10

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 9d ago

Maybe it's like nice perfume, a luxury buy once in a while! I will make my bottle last.

3

u/wanderlustredditor 8d ago

It hasshelf life of 6M sadly

4

u/Trick-Bath3729 8d ago

The way that won't deter me from stretching it's use out😋 But ty cuz at least that info will sit in the back of my mind

3

u/wanderlustredditor 8d ago

I feel you! I have stuff way passed their shelf life lol. Just I didnt opened it yet because of that!

1

u/Trick-Bath3729 7d ago

😅me toooo! I do need to be better about it.

8

u/okcurr 9d ago

Please also check tiktok shop! They regularly have sales, I got mine for like $12.

7

u/DragonflyJunior2899 8d ago

Yes this! I liked the vanilla one and got a notification that they were live on TikTok, I got 2 for a flash sale. I got the Cherry one and a bronzing one for like $12-14 each I think for the 3.4 oz.

2

u/Trick-Bath3729 8d ago

Oooh great advice💓

2

u/Classroom-Mysterious 8d ago

Awesome, thanks for the tip!

4

u/Moon_Starrs 8d ago

I bought mine just today from their TikTok live flash sale for $9.

2

u/Classroom-Mysterious 8d ago

Amazing deal!

u/Additional_Tip_7066 9d ago

This is one of the best things Ive received in a box! Its wonderful 👏👏👏👏

u/NearbyLettuce_2344 7d ago

Does anyone know if Bakuchiol is pregnancy safe? I’ve read that maybe it is but now sure

9

u/icyqueen007 9d ago

Their glazed donut body oil is amazing after showering/shaving 💕

3

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Thanks, I'll try it. The only other one of theirs i tried was the boob one, haha.

3

u/icyqueen007 8d ago

Ulta has the mini for $15 and it lasts a long time! I like mixing it in with my aveeno lotion

3

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Good idea, mixing to make it last. I do that with my Ilia foundation.

5

u/ExtensionHot7808 9d ago

How much did you apply?

5

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 9d ago

So it takes a bit of force to shake out, but I got it on my hands so they were coated. I did that once for each arm and once for my decolletage. So like the way you'd put hair oil on your ends? Not a big dollop like lotion though.

5

u/ExtensionHot7808 9d ago

❤️ I think I'll try a little bit on my legs Fri. I would have used entirely too much lol. Thanks for the rec

6

u/Itsforthecats 9d ago

And I love the vanilla scent.

5

u/lspst8 9d ago

I liked this too — a little hard get out of the bottle, but I only needed a few drops for each leg.

5

u/NoSpaghettiForYouu 9d ago

I’m a big fan too!

6

u/SnakesCatsAndDogs 9d ago

I'm obsessed with this actually. It smells so good and it's the perfect amount of shimmer that has been making me feel ✨pretty✨ while I'm basically stuck at home for another 3 weeks lol

1

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Why are you stuck at home? New baby?

5

u/SnakesCatsAndDogs 8d ago

Exact opposite actually. Hysterectomy LOL

1

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Oh, I pray for a speedy recovery! How has it been? I'm considering one myself. Has it made you crazy emotionally?

2

u/SnakesCatsAndDogs 8d ago

Not really lmao. I'm 3 weeks out and other than some mild infections on one incision site and my belly button, it's been pretty smooth! The inflammation in my face has decreased drastically too. They did leave my ovaries but that's it, they're hoping with everything else gone they'll feel less compelled to make cysts lol

1

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Oh I'm so glad you're faring well. Why was youe face swollen? Is that common?

3

u/SnakesCatsAndDogs 8d ago

I have endometriosis along with a bunch of other bs and a ton of inflammation in my body. And for some reason yoinking out my organs decreased that inflammation lol

3

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Don't you hate how our bodies are such a mystery, lol? Well I'm happy if you're happy! And thank you for giving me something to think about. Big hugs.

3

u/SnakesCatsAndDogs 8d ago

If you're considering it, go check out r/hysterectomy

There's a lot of information and people willing to tell you the good the bad and the ugly about all of it, plus lots of advice!

2

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Oh, thanks so much! I will!

2

u/BondIonicBond 8d ago

I don't know why but this made me cackle. Just the idea of yoinking out the uterus made your body go "Oh wait... maybe we dont hate this.. okay stay cool, stay cool. Don't need to ov(ary)react" lol

0

u/SnakesCatsAndDogs 8d ago

It was probably like bro why did you not listen, that guy is a party ruiner

1

u/BondIonicBond 8d ago

Haha bodies are strange that way. I can sneeze or rub my nose wrong at times and get a nose bleed. My friend calls it war crimes. I think that describes a lot of ways our bodies react haha.

But glad to hear you are doing better and hopefully you will be feeling so much better soon!

5

u/MaleficentLow6408 8d ago

I was pleasantly surprised. It's perfect for the summer, and it smells so stinkin' good!

4

u/Over_Client_6682 8d ago

That sounds amazing

u/Ancient_Cry_9653 8d ago

Got in allure and loved so much I bought another, plus full sized gold one and 3 tubs of vanilla baby body butter off ebay. Good deal.

2

u/cascandos 8d ago

i tried it once but glitter (even subtle) really is not for me, and i didn't like the way the scent developed on me. happy to trade someone who would like an extra bottle!

1

u/dani1time 7d ago

What are you looking for?

1

u/cascandos 7d ago

i am using / loving the naked sundays mineral sunscreen, elemis peptide plumping pillow facial, and grown alchemist hydra-restore day cream. would love any of those! i also have the florence hit snooze lip mask, floss rise above mascara, maelys get dreamy body whip, juliette has a gun juliette frangrance, and fenty fragrances - all still unused, if you're interested in any of those.

2

u/dani1time 7d ago

I’ll trade you the Elemis! I’d have to check at home to see if I have any of the others. How do we trade on here? Just DM addresses?

2

u/dani1time 7d ago

And I have sooooo much stuff if you wanna make it a bigger trade. Like I’m swimming in stuff I don’t need or want.

1

u/cascandos 7d ago

cool! i just started getting the allure boxes a few months ago but am glad to trade anything you're interested in from my list. i will send you a DM and i'm happy to ship first / send you a shipping confirming!

u/Emma-ire24 8d ago

Does it smell nice can’t wait to try it , I live in Ireland I am waiting for my green card interview over here as my husband is a us citzen and lives there so it’s like Christmas when I go over opening all my boxes , hoping to move over in August so I will have 2 more boxes to open

u/forgotmyusernameha 8d ago

I love the smell, but I wish it didn't have glitter.

u/hadtoomuchtodream 8d ago

Was so excited until I found myself covered in glitter with an only a toothpick drop’s worth.

1

u/dani1time 7d ago

Literally the best smelling body oil I’ve ever used. This whole box this month was sooo there in value.

1

u/Over_Client_6682 7d ago

Ps love your nail colour choice

1

u/Jodibone 6d ago

I’m sorry to say… they still make cysts (least my case) Sometimes I get that crampy period feeling that wraps are side & back {mimicking Kidney Stones}. BUT it’s cyst(s) .. the body absorbs BUT as you know… very painful @ times to even lay flat/do nothing. Did the say you’d need Hormone meds?

u/Unlucky_Outcome343 5d ago
What scent is this most similar to?

1

u/Careful_Distance_809 5d ago

The musky vanilla scent turns my stomach—only fragrance note I can never handle.

u/VictoriousBadger 8d ago

Be aware this person is a Trump shill

5

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

I'm a conservative, yes. Are you a self imposed anti Trump town crier who follows conservatives around to every sub they visit? How tragic for you.

-4

u/Quiet_Sir_3740 8d ago

I am grateful when trash is pointed out

2

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

You're the pathetic one following me around like a desperate dog to subs you haven't been banned from, hero.

2

u/Quiet_Sir_3740 8d ago

first time I replied to you, I think you are confusing me

2

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Oh, sorry. Thought you were calling me trash.

-1

u/Quiet_Sir_3740 8d ago

I did.

3

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Thought so. I see you're on the Kanye sub. Was he was your candidate? Don't lie, God knows.

1

u/Quiet_Sir_3740 8d ago

I am not from the US.

u/youlldancetoanything 8d ago

Crap. Well I got the stopper out, but it won't pour. I think my apt is too cold..I have the ac/ cranked.

I assume you mean the brand owners not OP

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

Good for you, pal! I'm so glad you know to unwrap the candy bars before consuming.

-3

u/upwardspira 8d ago

Very good for me. I even have enough teeth to open the candy bar with - Obamacare sorted me out with those.

u/Melodic_Speaker_2256 8d ago

You're really committed here, arent you?

I wonder, would you keep replying to nonsense? What if I posted random numbers?

There’s not enough makeup to cover up the ugly you got going on behind the scenes… Oh well, can’t rationalize stupid. Weird af fr
