LOVE THIS!!
I am OBSESSED with Sol De Janeiro's Brazilian line!! I love the scent, from the whole collection. The smell is intoxicating. It smells smooth, calming and soft. It makes me feel as though I'm on vacay, on the sunny beaches of Rio.
The Bum Bum cream I have noticed after using it for so long, it does firm/tighten the skin. Not a significant amount, but it is noticeable. Let's be real, this is a cream, not magic. It does leave a very *SUBTLE* sheen/shimmer/glittery affect to your skin that makes it appear to "sparkle" or "glow" in the sunlight. It does not contain glitter, but a very, very finely milled micro-glitter. If you're looking for a intense or glittery product, this is not that at all.
I've read a few reviews about this product being "fake". I also buy Sol De Janeiro from Sephora and I can assure you, this product from Amazon is not fake. HOWEVER, even though I don't believe it is fake, the scent from the one I ordered here compared to my Sephora, is lacking in intensity. So I'm not sure if it's due to being old, meaning it sits in a warehouse for long periods of time or maybe it's due to being exposed to hot/cold, whether at the warehouse or during shipment (its been a very hot summer here in Pa). Nonetheless, it's not fake, but it's not as strong as the ones from Sephora.
