You'll glow after this massage

As a massage oil Flickering Touch performs beautifully. It glides well, there is no stickiness to it, and it won't leave a lot of residue. Even still, I would not use this as my everyday massage oil just because it is pretty expensive. But for planning a romantic evening, I think this product is a perfect way to splurge and create a nice evening for you and your partner.

Use

Flickering Touch massage oil by Lelo is meant to be a high end massage oil. I am a professional massage therapist and I found this oil to perform just as well as the oils that I use in my practice on clients. It is a pricey product, but rest assured you are getting a high quality massage oil with this product. It is great for sensual or more therapeutic massage, and it would also work well as a moisturizer or as a light perfume if you enjoy the scent. I would not use it as a lube because some of the ingredients may be problematic when used internally. If you are going to be using condoms, definitely do not use Flickering Touch as a lube because it will break down the latex.

Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity

I thought that the texture and consistency of this oil was perfect. I honestly would not be able to distinguish this oil from the ones I usually use at work by the feel of it alone. The three carrier oils in it are apricot kernel oil, grapeseed oil, and jojoba oil. These are pretty standard oils in professional massage oil blends, so they will definitely hold up to quite a bit of massage before you need to reapply. The good thing about these oils, which isn't mentioned on the box or on the Lelo website, is that each of these oils has a fairly high concentration of vitamin E which is very good for your skin.

Flickering touch ends up being about a medium weight oil. Meaning that it doesn't absorb right away, but it won't sit on your skin forever either. If you have very oily skin this may break you out, but for most people it should absorb nicely and you won't feel like you need to shower right away. It pours just like you would think an oil would, and will never feel sticky or goopy.

The other ingredients in the product are perfume and a shimmery powder that contains mica, titanium oxide, iron oxide, and gold. Yes there is gold powder in this massage oil. Some people may have allergies to these, so it may be a good idea to test it on a small area before trying to apply it all over.

Taste / Aroma

The oil I have is the White Lily and Musk scent. I thought the smell was nice, but my boyfriend did not like it because he thought it smelled like "old church ladies' perfume." It does smell very feminine and floral, but not really like lillies. It seemed more of a generic floral to me, with a slight sense of earthiness to it. The scent is strong, but not as overpowering as many other products are, and it doesn't have the synthetic perfume smell that a lot of products that contain cheap fragrances have.
    • Strong smell

Performance

The oil lasted pretty well. You are not going to need to reapply every 30 seconds and with 4 ounces of oil. It should last most people quite awhile unless you are giving each other nightly massages. You will go through it faster if you have very dry skin vs. someone who has more oily skin, but nevertheless you should get several uses before you run out. It does well with different types of strokes and different types of pressure, and for most people this oil should meet their needs.

It does wash off well. Just a little soap and water will wash it right off, but it absorbed well enough that neither one of us felt like we needed a shower right after. Plus it would be a shame to wash off the gold shimmer immediately after your massage.
    • Absorbs into skin nicely

Packaging

Lelo always has great packaging, and their massage oil is no exception. The oil comes in a very beautiful bottle, which comes in a very pretty box (though not as nice as the boxes that Lelo's toys come in). The bottle that the oil is in is beautiful and looks like it might contain a perfume or high end moisturizer. It doesn't leak at all, which is great, The top prevents the pump from accidentally getting pushed down if you knock it on its side or something.

My problem with the packaging is that when you use the pump, not very much oil comes out. If you are just going to massage a small area this is probably okay, but if you are going to massage a large area like a back, then you will need several pumps. I eventually just ended up taking the top off and pouring what I needed.
    • Discreet looking packaging
    • Does not leak
    • Would make a nice gift

Personal comments

We had a little bit of trouble seeing the gold specks at first, and from what I've read in other reviews it has happened to other people as well. I found that the pump top does not pick up the gold powder very well at all, so the powder just ends up sinking to the bottom and never mixes with the oil. If you shake up your massage oil before using it and pour it out instead of using the pump top, you will see much more of the shimmer powder in the oil. You won't look like you bathed in shimmer powder or anything, but it will give your skin a nice little glow.
Follow-up commentary
I still think this is a great quality oil, but unfortunately this particular scent wasn't one we enjoyed. So, for now, our oil mostly just sits in the drawer and doesn't ever come out to make an appearance. It's a shame to spend so much on an oil and not enjoy it. I would still like to try the other two scents to see if we'd like them better.

Hmmm... I think I'll stick with my regular brand, even though I like the looks of this. Thanks for the review.

Yeah it's a nice oil, but I would view it more as a gift or a treat rather than an oil for everyday use. I do think I will try the other two scents at some point because they sound very unique.

I came over to read your review after you mentioned it in the "luxury sex toys for the rich and creepy" forum thread---and I'm really glad I did! You've obviously got a lot of massage oil knowledge, so thanks for sharing it with us.

      I've actually been using it every day as a moisturizer (I get dry skin in winter)and it has no bad effects on my skin. It cleans off easy and doesn't leave you feeling greasy afterwards so I don't think it will leave much residue to block your pores.
    • I've got all three of them and yes!!! I've got weirdly oily skin in some places and very dry skin in others.

      Lelo oil is the only moisturiser I've been able to use daily after my shower that doesn't make my skin drip with oil, doesn't feel like it coats my skin, and makes my skin feel sooooooo good!!! The scent is not strong and works with my perfume not masking it or changing the scent.

      This being said, I feel that the spicy clove and amber one is the strongest scent out of all three (but not in a bad way if that makes sense) and not something I'd recommend for the summer.

      I've used all of the Burt's Bee's line, Ocean Potion Original and the Hemp Seed lotion, countless after sun's, and countless other products designed for oily and combination skin from name brands to dollar store types and everything in between. Last year I switched to using just olive oil as a moisturiser in the winter and had some good results, but I couldn't stand how it smelt.

      Then I tried the Lelo oil... and WOW!!! My skin has been so thankful!!! I have found that on the underside of my breasts, I have to be careful to not apply too much and to rub in a little bit extra, or make sure I let my skin dry completely before putting on clothes.

      And on that note, I am off to write a review for Lelo oils.

      I haven't tried the candle yet, but I imagine so, I really love this oil apart from the mild scent.
    • It certainly looks luxurious

      Yes. Parabens always show up in the ingredients list.
      Here is a list of ingredients you should keep an eye out for in any cosmetic products, including massage oils, lubes, moisturizers, soaps and cleansers.

    • I'm usually not one for massage oil. I have weird issues about things like that. But holy cow that is one amazing container and I'm tempted to buy it because of that!

      Great job LELO, as expected; you guys are amazing at designing packaging!

      Anyone else added this to their wishlist yet?
