Now that the weather is getting warmer, and we are showing more skin, this lotion can give your skin a pretty and glowy look!
The scoop (keep reading):
- All natural ingredients. This is such a huge plus!!! It is just nice to know that something is all natural when you are slathering it all over your body. :)
- The scent: Now, I am not 100% about this scent. But, it is growing on me. I can't quite place it...somewhat floral? It reminds me of daises. It is a bit perfumey (which surprised me coming from Burt's Bees, I was imagining a more "natural" scent), but it is nice. Definitely sniff it before you buy it! ;)
- The Glow: This lotion contains Mica to impart a beautiful shimmer/sheen to your skin. It is so subtle...but, so luminous!!! I LOVE the look of my skin with this lotion. The shimmer is subtle enough to be daytime appropriate. I totally adore this lotion for the look it gives the skin.
- The Moisturization: Now, I am used to using very thick body creams and body butters, so, I was quite surprised at the super runny consistency of this lotion. I mean...it is down-right watery. When I first put it on, I thought, this is going to do *nothing* to moisturize. But, I was surprised that it does actually moisturize pretty decently considering the thin consistancy. With that said, if you skin is super-duper dry, opt for layering this product. You could apply a body cream/body butter first and then layer this on top to get the shimmery effects. What I do: I apply body cream to my very dry areas like my elbows and hands. Then I apply this lotion everywhere. In the warm weather, this may be just the right amount of moisturization that I need. But, in the meantime, I will layer this over a thicker cream on my dry areas.
- The Look: Beautiful glowly skin!!! Can't beat the look of this lotion. I just feel prettier with this on! This looks lovely on my pale winter skin!!! What a perk-me-up! I also think this would look lovely over self tanner or a light tan (if you are one who tans). What a gorgeous glow!!! This shimmer wears all day without coming off or transferring to your clothes. I will totally be buying this again when I run out! Love it!

I had a sample of this some times ago (and I think I have another one somewhere in my stash) but I don't know, it's not something I would buy myself. It's moisturizing and smells great, but it's a little too light for my liking (I prefer creams and butters) and it's a little pricey for a drugstore moisturizer. Gotta LOVE Burt's Bees though! Great review x
Hey Gaby-Yes, I agree, I generally prefer something more rich and moisturizing...but, for me this Burt's Radiance lotion is more about its Shimmer, so I apply richer creams on elbows and hands, etc and then the shimmer all over. :)
Hi Pammy, I know what you mean about the scent. Juicytuesday raves about how great this smells but I find it kind of a 'different' scent & can't quite place what it smells like. It's not bad necessarily just like nothing I've smelled before :) I agree that the shimmer gives a beautiful effect, without appearing like chunks of glitter on your skin.
@Tracy-Hey girl! Yes, the effect is so pretty! I wore it last night and loved it! :)
