SHIMMERING BODY LOTIONS

■ Cocoa Brown by Marissa Carter Golden Goddess Oil (50ml), £12.99, feelunique.com FOR an oil-based product I loved the matte finish this gave. The light shimmer was perfect over a medium tan I had applied for a night out. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone wanting an extra glow over a tan, I could imagine it probably wouldn’t have the same effect for somebody with a pale complexion. I used on my collar bones, arms and legs and was very happy with it. ★★★★★

■ Sanctuary Spa Shimmer Luxe Body Butter (300ml), £14, Boots THIS shimmery body butter is packed with pearlescent fragments which leave a subtle, non-greasy sheen on your skin.

Suitable for all skin tones as the sheen is colourless, you can use it on your arms and legs for a shimmering, luminous look. The glitter particles are small and refined too. ★★★★★

■ Leighton Denny SunBelievable Highlight Me WashOff Shimmer (100ml) £12.50, ld-boutique.com

I WAS a little alarmed at how dark, dare I say orangey, this looked when I squeezed it out of the tube. However, it did not look nearly so dark once I rubbed it in. It took some work to evenly apply it but

I was impressed with the depth of colour. I could actually get away with just putting this straight on with no base self-tan. Over a tan I am sure it would look fantastic. ★★★★★
