Olivia Attwood has shared her holiday beauty staple: the Sol de Janeiro Glowmotions Bronze Glow Oil in shade Copacabana. The presenter, known for her envy-inducing travel itinerary, revealed the product in a recent Instagram post as one of her "staples in the sun." She described it as 'better than a sun bed' for achieving a bronzed glow without sun damage.
Product Details and Benefits
The Glowmotions Bronze Glow Oil is packed with skin-benefiting ingredients, including coconut oil rich in antioxidants and vitamin E. It provides a shimmery, non-glittery finish that enhances natural glow, mimicking the golden hour effect. The oil is best applied to clean, dry skin, and Sol de Janeiro recommends skipping moisturiser beforehand to prevent transfer and ensure best results. Users are advised to blend thoroughly to avoid streaks or patches, though it is easier to apply evenly than traditional fake tan.
Celebrity and Customer Reviews
The product is also a favourite of Zara McDermott and has received high ratings on LookFantastic and Sephora. One LookFantastic shopper commented: "Better than a sun bed." A Sephora customer wrote: "Will make you look like a bronze goddess" and added: "I love this body glow oil. It leaves bronze instantly and completes the outfit. I wear it all the time when I want to look more bronzed and glowy. It definitely transfers if you don't let it dry. I always put it on before I do my makeup, that way by the time my makeup is done the product dries and won't transfer. Cannot recommend enough, especially for that summer glow look." However, one reviewer noted: "Gives a nice glow and tan/bronze color. Not the most moisturizing, and feels a bit drying."
Price and Alternatives
A 75ml bottle of the Glowmotions Bronze Glow Oil is available at Sephora for £30, making it suitable for hand luggage. For a more budget-friendly option, Space NK's Caribbean Shores Shimmer Body Oil costs £18 for 100ml and offers a more subtle bronzing effect with a tropical scent of coconut, caramel, and jasmine. For facial glow, the ICONIC London Prep-Set-Glow mist, priced at £26, sets makeup while adding a light sheen, with soothing ingredients like chamomile and cucumber extract, vitamin E, green tea, and caffeine to reduce dark circles.
