Memorial Day and warm weather has me feeling summery, so I had to review a product that will help you get summer ready! I don’t think I ever reviewed a product like this before, so I hope you enjoy something a little different.

Benefit’s Bathina is a silky glimmering body balm that you can use on your legs and arms for glowing skin.

Gorgeous legs and arms when you dare to go bare. So go ahead, take a picture…it lasts longer…

Bathina comes in a cute red tin with a velvet puff that you use to apply the balm.

This balm from Benefit makes your skin look shiny with a pink shimmer. It’s kind of like how actresses and girls in music videos always have shiny flawless looking legs. I like this product because it’s a balm, not an oil. You get glowing skin without being greasy or slippery.

It’s difficult to get a photo of this on my skin, but I tried to capture the golden-pink shimmer in this photo. (Click to view larger.)

Overall Thoughts: I’ve noticed that Bathina is long-lasting. I can sometimes still see shimmer on my legs after hours of wear and a shower. However, if you have dry skin you would still need to put lotion on before this. It’s not a body butter, it isn’t really moisturizing.

It also has a slight rose scent to it. I’m not a fan of floral fragrances, but this scent isn’t overpowering.

This balm is subtle. It will definitely add some luster to your skin for a summer glow, but it’s not anything drastic. At $30, it may not be for everyone. It doesn’t really make you look bronzed or tan, but it does provide you with a shimmering body finish.

Bathina “Take a picture…it lasts longer…” can be purchased from Benefit or retailers, like Ulta, that carry their products.
