Shimmy Shimmy Sparkle Bar

Shimmering bar of glitter.

1 oz.
$6.95
Qty:

This product does not contain animal
products of any kind.

Clary sage

Aromatherapists believe it is stimulating, sensuous and evocative. Clary sage is thought to be soothing, good for aiding fantasy, and helping to bring out deeper responses.


Make your skin shimmer.

This one gives you vanilla-scented glowing skin. It's shaped like an abstract heart and smells rather beautifully of vanilla and lavender, with a hint of herbal clary sage. Shimmy Shimmy is considered the crowning achievement in Helen's experiments with fragrance.

Make your skin shine.

The real attraction is the way it makes your skin shine. The glitter is very subtle, but ever so effective, giving your skin a pinky-bronze glow that lights up pale, wintery skin.

Lavender

Lavender oil is antiseptic, antibacterial, deodorizing and relaxing.

I've been going through the reviews and I have to think that either Lush SA's are not informing people about this bar or these people might be stupid. This bar has TONS of glitter. It's the #2 ingredient. It's small because it acts as a body glitter, meant to be used in places you want glitter. (Chest, shoulders, neck, etc.) Not the entire body. It's the perfect size. I've had mine for nearly a year and I still have plenty left. It's not meant to be put on right before bed. Seriously, who puts on body glitter and goes to bed? It's not meant for massages. It's not meant for moisturizing or perfuming. (Although it DOES, peripheral to its main purpose.) It's *body glitter*. Keep that in mind and you won't regret purchasing (or not purchasing) this bar. Same for Glitterbug.

As for the texture, you're meant to use it by rubbing it between your hands, rubbing your hands together, then rubbing it on wherever you want it. If you rub the bar itself directly onto you, the glitter will be overwhelming and uneven. Also, you'll be way too greasy. This is explained in the "how to use" and the video.

So, basically don't be a doofus. Look into the product and when you find out what it's for and how to use it, then you can make the right decision. And not write 'tarded reviews that might deter people who might actually like it.

Anyway, I love it! I'm a glitter fiend. I think nothing's girlier or prettier than being sparkly. It looks especially beautiful at night but is subtle during the day, so you won't be blinding people or attracting too much attention. It stays on very well! Once the cocoa butter dries, the glitter BARELY transfers. (Unless of course you get *very* sweaty or wet.) Comes off easily with soap and warm water, but I usually wipe it off with a make-up remover cloth (after taking off make-up, so I don't commit a whole cloth to glitter.) The lavender smell is a bit stronger than the vanilla smell (and the vanilla smell is NOT like sweet drugstore "vanilla" smells, it's more natural).

I always keep a Shimmy Shimmy bar in stock here at Casa de Audrey.

I have mixed feelings about Shimmy Shimmy... I love that the mass amounts of glitter stays on my skin for a long time, however you still get glitter on every surface you touch. Even though my arms still had a bunch of glitter my dog was also full of glitter for a day or so. The smell also lasts, but it almost reminds me of a more mature woman smell.. almost grandma like. Ive only had it a few days so hopefully with use I will start to like it more.

Comments about LUSH Shimmy Shimmy:

I absolutely adore this product. I just got my first one and it is incredible! I am a major glitter lover though, so this is incredible for me since the glitter is so pretty and abundant. I did however get it all over my boyfriend's shirt and face hehe But it looked and smelled great on me and he couldn't keep his hands off me all night! Even when I slipped in to pj's that night I was still soft all over and got cuddled all night. Highly recommend Shimmy Shimmy if you don't mind lots of glitter everywhere!

          I don't get how anyone could not like this! It smells amazing and I think that everyone could use some glitter in their life. I'm not saying you should cover yourself head to toe for a meeting or interview. But next time you're stuck at home, put some glitter on. Also for the people who complain about it melting, try pouring it in ice cube molds (I have heart shaped ones!) and put them in the fridge. Before you know it, shimmer shimmer will be back to it's solid glitter self

          Comments about LUSH Shimmy Shimmy:

          I put this on when I want to add a little glam to my look. It's great for legs in the summer, and I've actually started using it in my hair! I had glitter all over my hands after using it and didn't realize, started fluffing my hair, and when I looked in the mirror my long, wavy, black hair was sparkling! It was a very, very small amount (just what was left on my palms).

          I admit I was a skeptic at first, but curiosity got me to buy it. I'm very glad I did! Smells great and looks great. Try it out, you never know what you'll discover when using Lush products and that's what keeps me coming back for more :)

          I was soooo excited to try this, but sadly it didn't live up to expectations in the scent department.. I like the idea much better than the actual product. It smells bad to me actually kinda more annoying, and im not picky at ALL with scents. I love the amount of sparkles but they fall off soooooooo QUICK. But surprisingly I'm very glad I brought it because now im satisfied because I have tried it. Hopefully it will get better as i use it?

              I'm giving this a low rating because it's not worth the money since this doesn't last! I bought this and in the car on my way home it melted into a greasy puddle and was pretty much ruined. I got home an poured the liquid into a tin to try and shape it back by popping it into the freezer...Overall this does add sparkles, does smell good but it is a little irritating to sensitive skin and does feel greasy. You have to wash your hands after using since it's so greasy. I've had other massage bars and they haven't melted this bad before.

                    I'm really taken back by the "old lady smell" reviews. I think it smells light and shimmery and warm and delicious! I la la love the shimmer, and ALWAYS get complements on how lovely it smells and looks. Old ladies smell musky or rosy but this just smells glorious. I've often thought that Lush should make hair care and soap/perfume that smells like the Shimmy Shimmy bar.

                      ShimmyShimmy is made of mostly natural ingredients, smells good, helps supplement moisture, and best of all-- adds glttery shimmer to your body! The glitter lasts the best on clevage, shoulders, upper arms, etc. I have not had luck getting it to stay anywhere that clothes will rub (arm sleeve), or on hands. If you wash, it comes right off. This glitter is smaller and more delicate than the one used in Glitterbug, and more subtle (but stunning and attention getting). This is perfect to wear when going on a date or out with friends, but I personally think it is too much for most jobs or business functions. This Shimmy is perfect for anyone that loves glitter. A++++++++!

                            I love this massage bar! It has a really great amount of shimmer. Great for nights out or during the summer when you're going to be showing your arms and legs. Very pretty! The only thing is that the glitter transfers to other surfaces rather easily.

                            This product is amazing and great! But, one problem I had with it was, there was just too many sparkles it left. I mean usually I love when things shimmer on me, but not this time. I only gave it four stars because of that so it is perfect I think if you like the shimmer. Oh and also I should've realized it would've made alot of shimmer because it is called the shimmy shimmy. Haha well silly me. Go out and get it, if you didn't already!

                                I used shimmy shimmy for the first time about a year ago and fell in love; I'm a huge fan of glitter and sparkly things so it's present in almost all the products I use now. Most of the time it washes off easily and isn't that noticeable the next day, but shimmy is different. I had forgotten how much glitter there really was in the bar when I used it on my arms and legs and managed to get it on my furniture and the boyfriend. Later that week, I did laundry and washed the clothes I had worn with the shimmy bar, thus making all the other clothing in the wash (the boyfriend's included) covered in glitter. This is my reasoning behind putting glitter in both the pro and con section. (I learned my lesson about washing my shimmy clothing separately!) I still use shimmy to this day, but I do so sparingly, and often times before bed so I can wear pajamas and have moisturized, nicely scented skin that doesn't get glitter everywhere. I've also found that heating up a butter knife and slicing the bar in half makes for a nice bath melt with a little glitter sticking to you and most of it staying in the tub, which can be a little messy, but I don't mind. This method is probably not that economical, but I have 5 more of these to go, so I'm trying to find ways to use them without not being able to appreciate them.

                                  It smells AMAZING... at first, it has to much glitter and looks tacky, but after your skin dries most of it comes off and it's pretty :)
