Twilight-Sparkle-tastic!
Cake Hi-light luminous body lotion is one of those 'you get what you pay for' products. It's a fantasticly luxurious lotion that makes you feel great, and look like you have nice healthy skin.Published: December 2, 2011
Pros:
Silky Smooth, perfect amount of shimmer, smells GREAT!
Cons:
A little pricey, although the quality shows.
Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity
The lotion is very thick. While it does squirt out of the top of the bottle just fine, it definitely won't drip down your leg while you are trying to rub it in. It rubs in nicely and doesn't feel gross or greasy. It feels silky smooth, and doesn't leave a residue that makes you want to wipe your hands when you are done applying.
Performance
As for the sparkling effect, it is definitely there. I rubbed the lotion from my hands to my elbows, and used the amount you see in the picture below.
My palms were COVERED in sparkle. My arms and the back of my hands had a nice shimmer to them, but you could clearly see that it was more 'glittery' than 'luminescent'. It's not a cheap or tacky look though. It looks very nice and subtle. I tried to capture pics of the sparkly effect, but it was pretty hard to do. I'd say the pics show about half as sparkly as it really was.
I did wash my hands to get the excess sparkle off of my palms, and it was very easy to wash off with just water.

Packaging
The bottle came in a very cute pink shimmery box. It had some basic info and the ingredients on it.
The bottle, which is 8.5 ounces, will last a LONG time, as a little goes a long way with this stuff.
The top of the bottle has one of those lids that you push on one side, and the other pops open for the lotion to squirt out.

Great review! I like the glitter component and your pictures were BIG!! Thanks!
Awesome review! I'm kinda in love with your retro countertop (or whatever that is in the background), btw!
Love that the scent is prominent, but I could do with it being a little less glittery. Thanks for the review!
Nice review! Thanks for sharing.
