monoi body glow ii | nars

The Monoi Body Glow II (2.5 oz, $76 cdn) by Nars is a multi-purpose beauty oil that I have been lusting over for months. Recently, I was perusing the aisles of winners and a couple Nars products caught my eye. I rarely see this brand at winners, let alone finding a bottle of Monoi Body Glow II at a price of $19.99 cdn! Costing almost a forth of the original price, I decided to finally pick a bottle up to see what the hype was all about.

What it does:

“Capturing Monoi de Tahiti oil in its purest state, Monoi Body Glow II creates glowing, healthy looking and naturally fragrant skin. Native to the South Pacific and France, Monoi de Tahiti oil is the result of macerating the native Tahitian gardenia in refined coconut extract for at least ten days, slowly infusing the oil with nutrients as well as a delicate, natural fragrance. Each bottle of Nars Monoi Body Glow II retains an original flower to capture the essence of this unique process.”

Packaging

If you’ve been following my past posts, you’ll know how much I adore beautiful packaging. The Nars body glow is luxe in a bottle. Made of glass, the simplicity of the packaging with the original flower submerged is aesthetically pleasing. There is a simple twist of lid that allows a free flow of product.

Product

I generally stray away from beauty oils as I dislike that greasy feeling most oils leave after application. I was surprised when I first tested the Monoi Body Glow II and noticed this oil had no residue after applied. It created a beautiful and subtle sheen that made my skin look healthy rather than greasy. The oil can be used as a body moisturizer or even in your hair. The oil keeps my skin moisturized and smelling divine. The fragrance is actually incredible and when I close my eyes, I am whisked away to a warm summer day somewhere on a deserted beach.

Verdict

The body glow II has been helping me transition into spring. It is getting me super pumped from the warmer days ahead and keeping my skin looking healthy and happy. I’ve been obsessing over this oil for quite some time now and am happy I finally have a bottle to myself. I cannot wait until my next vacation so I can bring this pretty little bottle of heaven with me!

Repurchase?

In a heartbeat; I want to pick up a bottle of Body Glow I as well!
