Been using this for ages ever since it came out in 2013 when I was in college and has been a go to now that I am 34. I like the deep 2 cacao shade and go lighter or darker based on the time of year.

Got this for my sister and saw how gorgeous they were, I had to get one for myself. The renewal body oil smells the best imo and the golden glow is a subtle oil. They are true oils, not with glitter that help nourish your skin.
