Nivea Silky Shimmer Lotion

Pros: Moisturizes nicely, not greasy, absorbs quickly, improves look of skin
Cons: Gold color can be too much, must wash hands after applying, shows on white clothing

As soon as I heard about Nivea Silky Shimmer Lotion, I knew it would be something I wanted to try, despite the fact that I had never tried any Nivea lotions. I love to try new body lotions, and I also love products with shimmer in them....

Pros: Not many, folks -- not many.
Cons: Yucky gold tone, "shimmer" can be spread unevenly, not for cool-toned skin

Introduction

This is a negative review, meaning I so disliked this product that I can barely stand to be objective. I warn you of this in advance, and apologize for my sarcasm at times, but I know that you, dear reader, understand that...

Pros: Moisture all day long.
Cons: Does not make all skin types shimmer.

The first time I used a Nivea product was about 1953 while living in Germany with my parents. I used to love the smell of the creamy body moisturizer that used to be packaged in a round blue tin with white writing. As I remember for years this was the ...

Pros: Gives The Skin A Soft Shimmer, Light Weight Formula, Absorbs Quickly, Leaves Skin Soft
Cons: N/A

Perhaps it's the warm weather, or maybe it's these pregnancy hormones that are making me crave anything shimmery, shiny and glossy. Whatever the reason, I'm having a blast trying out new products and adding some sparkle to my skin. Recently, while...

Pros: beautiful, subtle gold shimmer, light fragrance, great moisturizer
Cons: none

After seeing several ads for Nivea Silky Shimmer Lotion in magazines and reading a few reviews here on Epinions, I eventually made a trip to Target to purchase this lotion. I was drawn to pictures in the magazines of beautiful glowing golden skin....

Pros: gives skin a beautiful golden shimmer, nice scent
Cons: can get messy, price

Well it is almost winter time and I have been searching for something to extend my tan a little longer. Self-tanners just don't look natural on me, and bronzers don't show up. After hearing about Nivea Silky Shimmer Lotion I saw it at Walgreens ...

Pros: Shimmery without overdoing it
Cons: None!

It seems as though every month my fiance and I have been traveling to Denver, CO, for one reason or another. This time it was to see a concert and also visit his parents in their new home.

Needless to say, my skin is incredibly pale and...

Pros: Light, easily applied, not too greasy, gives a nice glow to your skin.
Cons: You'll have a glow on your clothes if you don't let it dry first.

I bought Nivea Silky Shimmer Lotion after reading several reviews on Epinions. Target is featuring a 13.5 ounce bottle for only $10.00, vs. their usual price of $6.00 for a 7 ounce bottle, so the larger size is a bargain. Rather than repeat the ...

Pros: Moisturizes, smoothes skin, leaves a trace of warm, skin-enhancing color that makes skin look pretty.
Cons: Need to distribute evenly so the shimmer isn't clumped, expensive-ish for a drugstore lotion.

I saw a magazine ad for Nivea's new Silky Shimmer Lotion in the spring and was intrigued by the advertising claims. "Natural Reflecting Pigments", huh? Sounds good. At my next trip to Walgreen's Pharmacy, I headed over to the Beauty section (alright, I...

Pros: Light gold shimmer, inexpensive, moisturises skin
Cons: The shimmer wasn't visible at night, only under sunlight, takes 2 coats for shimmer

Over the last year or so I've become a little glitter queen. I'm loving all the shimmery, glittery, shiny products that have been coming out. Mostly I like to apply these products to my chest, shoulders and legs.

I had seen Nivea Shimmering...

Pros: Smells good, moisturizes and stays that way all day!
Cons: None

I am a lotion freak, and when summer comes around, I always set out for the best lotion because naturally it's a time when more skin will be revealed! My bathroom is completely full of the various lotions that I've tried over several months, all...

Pros: subtle gold shimmer, okay scent, absorbs quick, hides flaws
Cons: rubs off your palms, a bit expensive

I never even heard of this product until I was visiting someone's beauty section in their personal website. They said that this lotion made their skin look gorgeous under any light, so I decided to try it. The Product Discover Nivea Body Silky ...

Pros: There is eventually a shimmer, nice fragrance
Cons: Shimmer is slight, potential to leave a residue, has to dry on skin

When you first watch the commercial on television, it's really appealing. The model appears to have this REALLY intense radiance,and her body seems to just glow as soon as she applies a portion of the lotion to a body part. Not to mention the soft-toned v ...

Pros: Excellent skin cream, non-greasy, adds a great glow to your skin.
Cons: Would not work well on someone with oily skin who needs a matte finish instead.

This is one of my favorite accidental purchases. I'm a fan of nivea's face and body cream formula that I usually buy in France. Couldn't find it here anywhere, and thought I'd try this instead. Nivea's Silky Shimmer Lotion was a huge surprise; not on ...

Pros: nice golden shimmer, no big glitter effect, very easy to use, pleasant smell
Cons: none

I’ve got nothing bad to say about this product. I saw the advertisement in a magazine and had to try it. It’s summer and we all want to glow especially in the evenings while out and about. I’ll admit when it comes to shimmer I’m an addict, but not in...

Pros: Fabulous look for any skin tone!
Cons: Smudges when dry.

I'm a sucker for "the hook". An enticing 30 second blurb for the 5 o'clock news, for 20/20, for Primetime Live - I'm hooked. Same thing for anything having to do with beauty and cosmetics. I saw a TV commercial for this product and was hooked. I went...

Pros: Can provide decent shimmer for a reasonable price.
Cons: Transfers color to clothes, shimmer can "bunch"

Having used Nivea's skin firming lotion in the past, I was very excited about this product which included both the benefits of a top notch firming lotion and shimmer. The price per bottle was the same as the firming and so was the scent and consistency....

Pros: Fresh scent, skin softening, wonderful subtle shimmer
Cons: none

I love this stuff! I first saw it advertised in Vogue and being the beauty junkie I am, I had to try it. I have very pale skin and it gives just a slight "bronzing" effect, especially on my arms. You must make sure to spread it evenly or you can end...

Pros: smells very nice and the scent seems to last awhile
Cons: Does not keep the skin hydrated, leaves hands feeling a little greasy after application

Overall this lotion has a very nice scent to it, but it does seem to be more for smell and looks than actual hydration of the skin. I have very sensitive skin and found myself having to reapply this lotion quite often to keep it from drying out. The...

Pros: Skin stays soft, leaves a nice shimmer
Cons: could smell better

I am getting married next year so I have been buying a lot of bridal magazines. One Magazine had a free sample of the Nivea silky shimmer. I didn't try it out right away but when I did I was very impressed, My skin was so soft and I just loved the...

Pros: everything- the shimmer it gives you, it's not oily, doesn't have a bad smell
Cons: after putting it on your hands are filled with shimmerr

This product is absolutely AMAZING!!! I love the way it makes my body shimmer! When the sun hits my body u can see the shimmer and it looks great!! i loved this product.. and it's one of my top favorites.

Pros: I love the color and the glow I get is the best I have tried.
Cons: No longer able to find it locally. Must search the internet for the product.

I am a 46 year old blonde, ie: fair skinned, Aesthetician/Make-up Artist who lives by the beach in Manhattan Beach, CA. I use self-tanner and have for years now. The lotion was appealing to me because of the highlight affect on the skin, which gives it a softer, smoother appearance, and it did just that. I find that mixing the Body Silky Shimmer Lotion in with my regular no-color body lotion works the best. I get so many compliments on my skin now and I never used to before. It smooths out your skin tone giving it a beautiful golden color and soft youthful glow. My clients/friends also love it after sunbathing or after I do a tanning treatment on them. I absolutely love it and am completely addicted to the look. Whether you're in your 20's, 30's, or beyond, a golden glow is always sexy!
