I have been buying Caribbean Tan products for a long time, and along with my first purchase, I bought this shimmer cream. It is very thick (to the point where it is sometimes difficult to get out of the bottle), but it gives a lovely shimmery finish. In the first few years of buying this product, I noticed that there were some inconsistencies in the colour- sometimes it would literally look darker in the bottle, and give a darker tint to the skin, and other times it gave almost no tint with just a golden shimmer. Recently, the colour seems to be more consistent though. I still use this product from time to time, but when I do, I make sure there is not much chance of me sweating because it will rub off on anything you touch, including your clothes.
If you plan to use this, make sure your skin is completely dry before applying, and just know that it might transfer onto your clothes. I will probably still buy this from time to time because it is affordable, but there are better shimmer creams out there.
I bought the Caribbean Tan Spritzer once, and was very impressed by it. But after purchasing the Shimmer Cream, I found that the actual cream was too thick too come out of the bottle, I eventually removed the cap and tried to shake it out (even my husband tried) but no luck. I had to scrape it out of the bottle with a knive(and by then my patience was running out). When I applied it, it had a funny texture and created streaks on my legs with no tanned colour at all! My legs was exfoliated so that could not be the problem. A few weeks later we went on vacation and I gave it another try, but the same thing happened. Did anyone else experience this, or did I buy a faulty product?
I have been using this product for years! Eversince I started using Caribbean Tan products, this has been my holy grail all body bronzer!
-It works BEST after using Caribbean self tanner. (Trust me!;))
-It washes off easily
-it sparkles, but not too much! Just the right amount of 'glow' :)
-Its PERFECT for a night out!
- It makes your legs look flawless and toned!
-It smells delicious
- The bottle lasts ages! (You only need a squeeze or two!)
The one and only negative thing is that it can stain white clothing (such as bra and undies)!
Other then than, it's thee best bronzer and the most affordable!
A definite recommendation for all those self tanner junkies out there! X
i love this cause it gives a nice slight bronzed color and shimmer to skin and it smells nice! really just takes away that very white winter look and adds a beautiful glow to skin .
FIRSTLY I DONT LIKE TAN IN A CAN NEVER SEEN IT LOOKING GOOD , BUT MY FRIEND BOUGHT THIS AND SHE IS FAIR LIKE ME ,USED IT LIKE THE SMELL SOITRIEDIT ON MYSELFONLY ONE LEG DIDNOT WANT THE ORANGE LOOK .... BUT IT FEELS SO SOFT ON YOUR SKIN AND COLOURS GRADUALLY NOT ONE BIG CLOUR CHANGE AT ONCE .... THE MORE YOU USE IT THE MORE IT DEEPENS THE MORE NATURAL TAN COLOUR ....WOULD RECCOMMEND THIS TO ANY BODY LOOKING FOR A TAN IN A BOTTLE VERY NICE SKIN TONE AFTER APPLICATION
I absolutely love this product. I have fair skin and do not tan easily. Self tanners tend to make my skin orange or do not last long. With this shimmer cream, I only use it when I go out and it does not go on my clothes. It is affordable too.
For the user who is not comfortable with applying a full body self-tan. This product gives the skin a healthy glow, no strong product fragrance lingers. Best of all, once you hop into the shower the colour easily washes off evenly and not patchy as with self-tan.
I can not use self tan products. Rather, I have not yet found one that doesnt leave my skin yellow. I tried this product in the hopes that it would at least give me a relative bronze effect. I was so disappointed in this product. I could just as well not applied anything at all. It didnt even give a great shimmer much less a bronzing effect.
I'm attending a wedding this weekend so I wanted a nice bronzing product for my legs. But not a self-tan, which I never really have good experiences with. I was actually looking for the Rimmel product that gives instant colour that you can wash off. But sadly I think it's either discontinued or the Pretoria shops just don't stock it. :( So I spotted an advert for this Caribbean Tan cream and for R49 thought why not give it a try. Unfortunately it doesn't even compare to the Rimmel one. I was really expecting a bit of colour from this and not just shimmer. But alas, all I really get is shimmer, and not even that much. I put lashings of this on and it still seems to give off barely any colour. The label says it gives skin a healthy, golden glow. Where is the golden glow? For the weekend I think I will wear this over a fake tan, just to add a slight shimmer to my legs. I'm a bit disappointed in this product as I have friends and family that adore the Caribbean Tan products. According to Cindy Nell, this is a bronzer and shimmer-effect cream in one "to make your skin look it's been photo shopped in real life!" Sorry Cindy, but that isn't the effect it's giving me. :(
