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.

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.

Not reef safe

Smells like chemicals (because it’s chemical sunscreen, not mineral). Also please don’t bring to any beach with living coral reefs. This sunscreen harms coral reefs

Lovely shimmer oil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a beautiful product. It's summer time and dress season and I love the glow this product provides my legs, arms and chest area. It blends into my skin fairly nicely and it feeld hydrated without feeling sticky or greasy. It absorbs into my skin fairly quickly and does not cause stains on my clothing. It smells nice, the glitter is not too chunky and it just is a pretty glow. It has a nice scent too which is not overpowering. I like the added spf protection as well but I still apply my regular amount of body sunscreen and apply this over the sunscreen already applied to ensure im getting adequate sun protection. *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Love!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I adore this stuff. It gives you a gorgeous glow while providing SPF protection. The shimmer is apparent on the skin but it's not like you're wearing glitter. It is perfect for summer and the way the light bounces off of you is truly stunning. The smell is lovely as well, like tanning oil when you're at the beach. The packaging in itself is so pretty to have on display, but the lid stays secure to throw in a bag for a beach or pool day. I plan on repurchasing when this runs out, I love it that much. *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Amazing Glow!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so obsessed with this Shimmer Glow Vacation SPF honestly. The scent is so good, it has a hint of fragrance and a natural scent, it smells and feels amazing the second you put it on. My favorite part is definitely the subtle sparkle in the sun. It isn't chunky glitter at all, just this gorgeous, subtle shimmer that catches the light so nicely and gives your skin the perfect beachy glow. Plus, the fact that it keeps me completely protected from the sun while looking and smelling good, very much needed this extra glow. *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Luminous skin in a bottle

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am obsessed with this Sunscreen oil, delivers a stunning golden sparkle leaving my skin super soft and moisturized and it smells amazing. Vacation Shimmer Oil comes in a sleek and gorgeous bottle; the pump makes it super easy to dispense and goes on smoothly. I wore it for hours and when it was time to reapply it didn't feel overly greasy or sticky, without a doubt vacation shimmer oil has become my favorite sunscreen, I would definitely recommend buying this product for anyone who enjoys glowing skin. -  product was received as a part of an educational promotion *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is amazing! It’s my new go to for afternoons at the pool when the UV isn’t super strong. I really enjoy the glimmering effect it gives on my skin and the amazing smell that it has. It smells like a vacation in the summer at the beach with friends it’s just so nostalgic. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and protected, and prevents it from drying out too much in the sun too. It will be perfect for graduations and any outdoor events where sun protection is a must. Overall, it’s a great pruoduct that I really enjoy using. *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Glowy Sun Protection That Feels Amazing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shimmer oil gives my skin a beautiful sun kissed glow while providing SPF 30 protection. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel sticky or greasy. I love the subtle radiance it adds without looking glittery. It’s perfect for the beach or everyday wear, leaving my skin feeling soft, hydrated, protected, and glowing. I’ll definitely be using it all summer because it makes my skin look healthy, radiant, and beautifully luminous every day.It also layers well over my skincare without feeling heavy and gives my skin a fresh, natural looking finish that lasts for hours. *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Currently obsessed with this body oil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] One of my new favorite body oils! Lately, it’s the only one I use when I go tanning. I love how beautifully it makes my skin glow and gives me such a gorgeous tan. It has SPF 30 to help protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays while still allowing you to tan. The scent is absolutely heavenly, it keeps my skin so moisturized, and leaves it feeling soft and comfortable after application. I love how glowy and smooth my skin looks after using it! It’s perfect for summer days, really nice product! *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Love it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay I actually really like this. It makes my skin look super glowy and pretty, especially in the sun, but it doesn’t feel crazy greasy. I was a little worried it would be too oily, but it spreads really nicely and feels light on the skin. The shimmer is cute too, not too much or glittery. I love that it has SPF 30 because I’m basically getting sunscreen and body glow at the same time. I’d definitely bring this on vacation or use it for beach days. Also the bottle is sooo cute. It just makes your skin look really good without trying too hard. I can totally see myself using this all summer. *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Perfect glowy body oil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best body oils I have ever tried!! It is so moisturizing and hydrating while also being lightweight and not greasy at all!! My skin feels so soft after and stays soft for the whole day! And the scent is heavenly! That beachy sunscreen vacation scent is so good and lasts the whole day like 8+ hours! And don’t get me started on that golden glow!! It is so stunning and sparkly and glittery! It makes me feel like a Greek goddess and that glow is unmatched by any other shimmer body oil! It seems glittery at first but blends into the most stunning glow! *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Nice glow

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed this oil a lot. I found it to be very moisturising and it left behind a beautiful shimmer against my skin. I lived the gold hue and the packaging. It felt very luxurious. The amount of product pumped out was perfectly balanced as well. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants a subtle but noticeable glow this would be beautiful on especially darker skin tones. It's so natural and radiant. Reminds me of what a goddess would wear. A little bit goes a long way and I could see this product lasting a long time. *This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Gorg shine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This shimmer oil has it all - scent, shine, and longevity! I wore it to a workout class and it lasted throughout all my movement and my sweating. I loved that it didn’t transfer to my clothes and didn’t make my skin feel overwhelmed. The bottle and pump are gorgeous and it comes out evenly, so it’s hard to overdo the application of the oil. My tan is on the darker side right now and I feel like this shimmer oil made it look nice and radiant! It sat nicely on top of my standard lotion and I look forward to continuing to use it throughout the summer. *This review was collected as part of a promotion.
