Bought the Body Lava today. It’s everything. Smells amazing and adds that touch of glow just in time for summer. My shoulders and legs will be lit this year. Right now only ‘Who Needs Clothes’ was available at my store, ‘Brown Sugar’ was not.

Just wondering...is the body lava too sticky? I wanna get it but I don’t wanna make my clothes oily or sticky.

I read that Brown Suga is only going to be available online only which I don't understand at all - perhaps it will become available in stores later. Anyway, please share a review when you get a chance to use it...one can never have enough body luminizers. I wanna look like a glow stick all summer. lol

Brown Suga will only be available online or at fentybeauty.com. I was actually talking to a friend about this and she brought up an interesting point that maybe Rihanna purposely left it out of Sephora stores so people would buy it from her site. I know it's on Sephora's site too but it kinda, sorta made sense to me because they're both sold out on her site.

So i tried it out yesterday at home...
and it is sticky...i may have tried too much...but even after i took a bath...my arms still felt the tacky, gummy film from the lava.
Not sure if i'll keep it now.
but i do like the way it looks!

they say you can return it before 60 days, so at least you can get your money back!

I wonder if you could mix it with a little body lotion to make it less sticky? I've done that with liquid highlighters in the past to shine up my legs and it worked pretty well. I haven't tested or purchased it yet though, so I'm not sure if this would work.
 
I just ordered another Foundation. The first one has lasted me since September with use everyday, and there's still some left. I saw there was some new stuff out so I figure I might as well get another before I run out. I ended up buying the "Face & Body Kabuki Brush 160" too. I was tempted by the Body Lava and Fairy Bomb Glittering Pom Pom, but I didn't feel like spending that much on extras right now. I have Lush dusting powder and I love it so I figure I'll stick with that for now.
 
Stickiness aside, not sure how you feel about glitter. From the pics that i've seen circulating around IG, it looks too glittery for me as well. Looking like this is gonna be a pass.
Like chunky glitter? I'm ok with glitter if it's fine and not chunky. I'm wondering how it compares to the Gleam by Melanie Mills because I already have that.

It looked like noticeable chunks of glitter to me which gleam doesn't have.

ETA: I should say though that I only looked at the Brown Suga pics as I think that would be more suitable for my skin. I watched Shayla's review and she notes that there's glitter in the Brown Suga.

Thanks for the update! I was worried about the same thing. But yes it does look really good
