Shimmer/oil on legs?

14 replies

cashmerecardigans · 24/05/2015 20:16

I'm getting married in September. I have an utterly fab dress that is knee length, so although I am blessed with pretty good legs, I want a sort of shimmer or glow on the day as I won't be wearing tights. Any ideas as to what would be good? I'd seen the Clarins after sun shimmer glow or maybe a Nars oil? Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks

Laura mercies does a nice body shimmer x

The Nuxe huile prodiguise with the shimmer. Lovely. M&S sell it.

prodigieuse even!

I agree with Nuxe. They have a plain oil and one with gold shimmer.
They often have good offers on their website, including free shipping, samples and decent value giftsets so it's worth having a look there if you're going for their oil.

Yes, go for the gold-flecked Nuxe.

TK Maxx sometimes have a dupe called Laino.

Nuxe is fab or the Body Shop do a nice one - think it's called Honey Bronze or something.

Can I ask, does that oil make your skin feel greasy/slippy? Have seen the Nuxe oil in my local chemist shop it looks lovely.

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse is my summer fave. Smells great too.

FrugalFashionista · 25/05/2015 15:50

I'm usually not big on oils but this is a 'dry oil' - no mess.

BadgersArse · 25/05/2015 15:57

no to the Nuxe one as the SCENT is horrific and very strong,

The best one is this one www.boots.com/en/this-works-skin-deep-dry-leg-oil-120ml_50333/

BadgersArse · 25/05/2015 15:58

so surprised you lot like the scent of the Nuxe one. I have the shimmer one and hate it.

Marylou2 · 25/05/2015 16:05

They do a perfume in the Nuxe scent. I love it!! Grin

Coastingit · 25/05/2015 18:55

I love the Nuxe smell! The perfume doesn't last or smell very strong though. And quite ££.

I'd worry about the colour transferring to your dress though. I'd go for a good spray tan then a non coloured oil for sheen.

I like the Nuxe one for everyday. I tend to use Neom or Aromatherapy body oils as well and like those but whilst they make my skin glow due to regular use there is no shimmer to them. One oil I do use that kind of has both and people always comment on how lovely it smells is the Estée Lauder Bronze Godess oil - but I have the one from 3 or even 4 years ago and I think the newer ones are slightly different. I would go and have a good try out and pick your fave after trying a few.
