Not so crazy, but definitely shimmery
It was good enough: definitely an adequate product and more interesting than most lotions, but nothing to flip out about.Published: August 26, 2008
Pros:
Great moisturizer, shimmers as advertised.
Cons:
Runny, slightly difficult to rub in completely, interesting smell.
I never expected any product claiming it had attracting pheromones to actually bring me drooling crowds of desirous suitors, so I was not shocked when it turned out not to have that level of drawing power. What I was surprised to find though, is that Crazy Girl body glitter makes a fairly decent moisturizer and combined with its glitter effect, I felt obliged to wear a lot more booty shorts, which may in fact have led to the original arousal-inducing advertised results.
That is to say, this product is perfectly reasonable as a lotion and an excellent option if you want to look glittery under lights, although the scent is not one that drove me particularly crazy.
Upon opening the bottle, the stuff comes right out, more like a viscous liquid than the moisturizers with which I am familiar. It's purple, smells a little like suntan lotion and takes a degree of effort to get it to spread out evenly enough. Not that it was some arduous task, mind you, but enough to seem like it was taking longer than usual.
Looking down at my legs, I couldn't immediately see the shimmer, at least not as obviously as I do when I have applied other brands of shimmery body sprays and lotions. But it was most assuredly there, and underneath just the right lighting, it makes an outstanding, yet subtle impression.
Despite what may seem like a downer review, my opinion of the body shimmer is actually quite positive. After having used the lotion a few times out of mere obligation, I continued to use it anyway, simply because it seems to work quite well as a general moisturizer. And hell, it may be the perfect accessory with booty shorts.
If you're looking for a lotion, this isn't a bad choice. If you're looking for a cosmetic product, you may want to keep searching.

Follow-up commentary
12 months after original review
It still smells a little weird, and it still takes some elbow grease to rub in to the point of not being visible; but there is a nice sparkly shimmer left behind, and it works as a very functional lotion.

Thank you for viewing Crazy girl body shimmer – lotion review page!



What is the scent like?
as i mentioned, a little like suntan lotion
Haha, your opening paragraph is great.
Like sun tan lotion? Not exactly appealing.
Where did you use it? Daytime or evenings? I love glitter powder, but a thick moisturizer seems like a pain.
Haha! Maybe I should get this but, hubby might wonder why on earth I'm wearing so many booty shorts! =P....I guess he might like that though.....
Good review.
Thank you!
