Details & care
What it is: 'VACATION' Shimmer Oil SPF 30 is 'Black Tie' Sunscreen. Boasting two types of show stopping shimmer—a pearlescent glaze alongside gold mica flecks—this premium-grade body oil includes Vacation's award-winning scent, SPF 30 protection and a lavish blend of naturally derived oils that will turn any poolside moment into a dazzling red-carpet event.
What it does: The sunscreen is formulated with broad spectrum SPF 30 protection against the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays. It's water-resistant (up to 80 minutes) and made with a rich, luxurious blend of naturally derived oils that deliver a silky, moisturized feel on skin. The sunscreen features two types of gold mica shimmer—a base layer pearlescent glaze that provides an even coat of iridescence and larger-sized flecks that mirror the sun's rays for amplified gold highlights. It comes in a flattering gold shade that enhances all skin tones without a white case. The sunscreen features the award-winning 'VACATION' by Vacation Eau de Toilette scent developed by ARQUISTE parfumeur, with notes of coconut, banana, pool water, pool toy and swimsuit fabric. It comes in travel-friendly packaging made with recycled materials.
How to use: Shake the oil well before use. Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours when in the sun.

Horrible for you
This sunscreen has avobenzone as its first ingredient among lots of other horrible ingredients that are terrible for you and cancer causing.

liquid gold
Love this shimmer oil. The scent is what I was hoping it would be; sunscreen & pineapple. It reminds me of when I was a kid, at grandma’s, outside at the pool.

glittery
I didn’t love this because it looks like glitter. Not just shimmery but pieces of glitter.

Poor packing!
Product arrived without box just the bottle! Quality it’s not what I was expecting. I don’t like the fact when applied it’s just like applying oil and stain since doesn’t set on the skin

poolside perfection
Took this on a Vegas trip to glam up the poolside look. Oil is hydrating and the scent is stronger than the vacation cream sunscreen in a good way!

Nice shimmer!
This sunscreen is not sticky and provides just a hint of gold shimmer, which I love. What I don’t love is the sticker they put on the cap to keep it closed for shipping. I couldn’t get all of the stickiness off, even when I applied alcohol to remove it, and it’s extremely annoying. Otherwise, I like the product.

Vacation shimmer oil
It's a beautiful scent . I used it in our vacation in Switzerland and Scandinavian as my sun protection and shimmer oil the scent lasted long . It's easy to pack and take to my vacation adventures.

Favorite summer scent!
Love this delicate, gold shimmer oil. Stays in place nicely and didn’t seem to transfer onto my white dress

Beautiful smell and shimmer
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay, I’ll admit it… I’m a sucker for anything that makes my skin look glowy, but I also don’t want to feel like I’m walking around covered in cooking oil. The Vacation Shimmer SPF 30 actually surprised me!It gives my skin this really pretty, healthy looking glow without making me look like a disco ball. The shimmer is subtle enough for daytime, but in the sun it catches the light SO nicely. It gives that “I just got back from vacation” look even when I’ve literally just been sitting outside my house. I also really like how easy it is to spread. My skin feels moisturized and soft afterward instead of dry or tight, and I love that it has SPF 30 because I can get that glowy finish while still having sun protection.The only thing I’d say is that you definitely need to remember to apply enough sunscreen and reapply as directed this is still sunscreen first, pretty shimmer second!Overall, this is such a fun SPF to throw in your beach bag. If you like a bronzy, glowy finish and want your skin to look extra pretty in the sunlight, this one is definitely worth trying. *This review was collected as part of a promotion.
